I wonder if there is a way to disable public announcement by flight crew that plays automatically?

I asked the same question during the PSS fs9 era. The conclusion was the PSS T7 FMC was not fully functional as the real one. Now, we have the PMDG 777, I still have the same question. How can add the international dateline into FMC and have it display on the ND? I captured what I saw from justplane DVD (the Air canada 777-300er one), is it just a fix at W180?

I have soft cloud and texture direct as well, I haven't pulled the trigger on ASCA. Yes cloud density is max in P3D setting. Surprisingly, different from ASN, the performance penalty from high cloud density is not much in AS 2016. Not sure what the Active sky team did, but good job.

. P3D v3.3

I don't normally post screenshot, but can't resist when I see this in flight

That's a good point. I manage to make the upgrade notification disappear by adding a registry, so I will live with W7 before upgrading the CPU. I actually upgraded my non-sim machine by simply pressing the upgrade option. Everything is fine on that machine as there are not many programs. But for my sim computer, there are so many uncertainties with so many different addons. Meanwhile, I will just stick with W7 before major upgrade.

Thanks all for the comments. I guess I will restrain myself from clicking the update button and wait until I update my CPU and motherboard.

I know I would need to do it eventually, but given my windows 7 and all the addons run nicely (UT2, PMDG, P3D, the old good FSX for installing addons, and all the airports), I hesitate everytime when I almost pull the trigger. I wonder if I simply press the windows update button would do the magic? Or should I expect to clean install every addons afterward? The thing I am worrying the most is old programs like UT2 won't work in W10. Or should I tell myself "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? my system: 3770k OC to 4.7Ghz, SLI 2x970

Not using HDR at the moment as I find it not very realistic (personal taste). :smile: Thanks for that! Didn't know that particular setting.

I hope they will look at "night being too bright problem" in p3d in the future.

UT2, in fact, the first thing I check before I decided to move to P3D is the compatabilty of UT2. Schedule can be updated easily and models look good. And for some reason, I have traffic over the sea in P3D but not in FSX.

Thanks for the idea! Gonna try tonight. And wondering if anyone has submitted a ticket about this? If not, I will submit one.

Same issue. Took off during the day and land during night time, no light reflection. But if I load the save flight after I land, it works.

very informative, thanks a lot Romain.

Hi all, I recently have started to do repaints myself, when painting the registration in VC, I am wondering what are the numbers/numbers under the registration represent? and how can I find the info? For example, what does GJ-ES stand for here?

Very nice, good to see the city where I was born comes to life in FS world.

I recently found that reducing max texture resolution to 1024 greatly improves OOM problem (especially in VHHH).

Very nice, interesting to see how it will turn out. The only thing I am hoping for is it is not another 30 bucks. -_-

Good idea, I am gonna do it.

PrecipitFX doesn't seem to add the effects for UT2 aircraft located at SimObjects/UT2 Aircraft. Wondering if there is a way to add the effects instead of modifying the Aircraft.cfg one by one?

What about not using VNAV descend and use v/s mode? I suggest submitting a ticket to PMDG and have them take a look at the save files. I wanna know what the problem is too.

Have you saved the flight before descent? I realize reload the flight can resolve the issue sometimes. You can also save the flight when the plane starts to go crazy, then open a ticket and send the files to PMDG for investigation. I have not experienced the absurd 10000 fpm descent for a while, not sure what happen since I didn't fix anything nor changed my computer.

Came across it just now. It is still in development but looking great! Can't wait for it http://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=20777.45 Finally a FSX native 747-400 AI

Yes on PMDG T7, but base on personal experience and different youtube videos,I don't think so. Really small thing but somehow bugs me a little, call me being paranoid. :huh:

Thank you for your contributions to the flightsim community. Can't imagine what flightsim will be without AVSIM, again thank you and take care.
