Hi Marshall, Try deleting your FS cfg file and let it rebuild a new one on start-up to see if that helps. For taking better screenies try this out, http://www.michielov...ftware/snapper/ not sure what else to suggest Regards Terry

not sure if this is off any help http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-gaming/error-runtime-error-r6025-pure-virtual-function/41479046-21ea-4ec0-b62e-e0dc30145d76

+1 on this one too,really miss my RFP 747-200

What about doing the 747-200 for FSX?? realy miss my old RFP 742

hi jasonAfter a quick search on PMDGs site,take a look at these threads from PMDGs forum not sure if there exactly what your experiencing or not but worth a lookhttp://forum.avsim.net/topic/294282-bug-on-the-navigation-display/page__p__1818108__hl__aligned+with+magenta+line+__fromsearch__1#entry1818108http://forum.avsim.net/topic/264948-pmdg-747-400x-mis-aligned-with-runway/page__p__1658222__hl__aligned+with+magenta+line+__fromsearch__1#entry1658222http://forum.avsim.net/topic/108289-fmc-map-not-aligned/page__p__720188__hl__aligned+with+magenta+line+__fromsearch__1#entry720188and after reading that you have tried the registry fix (i take it you ran it as an ADMIN if your using VISTA or W7) then it looks like either a scenery problem or you need to update your navdata freom PMDGand also like the post before me your FMC doesnt look like its completely filled ,does your magenta line go all the way to your destination without any disscontinuitys?also maybe some more pics off each page of the FMC would helpregards terry

hi shayan,have you tried using vroute or someother fuel planner to calculate how much fuel you need and then load it using the supplied PMDG load manager,this should then load the fuel correctly for you and if above approx 110 ton(i think) you will have turn off the ctr pumps at this weight and as said above once you reach 52 tons you have to change to tank/eng mode...all is explained in the PDF and also all over the net.Angle of attack DVD is another very helpful learning tool for the 747 as well..works for me..regards terry macaskill

hi ?,i think you need to post your full name at bottom of your post before anyone will respond with help.although it looks like you loaded an A/C with the same engines as before,which FSX does not like.

Just a quick query, I am very interested to know how physics allow for the 747-400LCF to accelerate faster in a dive than a standard 744. Could you please point me to a link where I can learn about this??Thanks.

hi miles,this might be too obvious but is the autopilot disconnect bar in the up or down postion?regards terry macaskill

hi jonathan,Shayan is right,the knob does not move in the overhead panel,BUT make sure you select fuel jettison A or B on the selector switch to the right of the fuel to remain knob otherwise you will not get any indications about fuel to remain on the upper eicas screen.regards terry macaskill

hi craig,as far as i am aware you can load them into FSX,its just that FSX folders are laid out slightly different to FS9,i think you put the files (.FLT + .WX) which are in the"lessonn#/fS2004/flights/PMDG"folder into C/my documents/FSX filesand the (.SAV file) into C/program files/microsoft games/FSX/PMDG/747-400/panel statethen when you start FSX and go to load a flight these lessons should appear in the list of saved flights hope this helps its a while since i have done thisregards terry macaskill

hi guys i have being wondering this same thing for ages too,and came across little piece of software but have not had time to check out its usefulness yet,its an on-screen ruler.My linkregards terry macaskill

hi robin,i am in the middle of trying this out,am cruising at 5000ft 210knts flaps 10 and when i select control of any individual engine using E+1,2,3or4 i do not notice any change in the thrust output of any of the other engines,all other three stay exactly the same,i have tryed this with the A/P off and on,and also with autothrottle off/on but do not notice any assymetric thrust being applied to any engine except the one i am manually commanding.i also tried this out on a short flight from egll/egcc using LNAV/VNAV and again which ever engine i asked to increase thrust was the only one that received more thrust.ihave now tried shuting down engine #2 and applying max thrust to eng #1 whilst leaving engines three and four to the autothrottle and if anything when i apply more throttle to eng #1 the remaining engines are reduced in output by the autothrottle as it is always trying to fly to the commanded speeds and altitudes set on the MCP.i could be wrong but my guess is maybe faulty joystick or something? are you using the keyboard to apply extra thrust or a joystick? i was doing it using F1,F2,F3 and F4.also in real life i cant really see an advantage to the aircraft doing this anyway,in what situation would you want apply thrust to one engine manually?whether on A/P or manual flight surely the rudder trim and extra thrust on all remaining engines is enough to compensate for any engine failure, have just noticed the age of this thread!!!!regards terry

i noticed i was having this same problem with the elevators but it seemed to be very randomly.i also noticed that when the elevators were commanded down like this while the A/P was ON(also confirmed almost fully down by the stat page on the EICAS screen)when i disconnected the A/P the elevators returned to there neutral position for level flight and this was confirmed by checking the stat page on the EICAS screen but the aircraft required a lot of foward pressure on the yoke to stop climbing wildly until i was able to retrim the aircraft for level flight,once i did this the aircraft was fine in manual flight and flew perfectly.the one thing i am not sure about is what setting the trim was at once i regained level flight with the A/P off,i know it was set correctly at 6.0units as the FMC calculated during preflight setup.so then when i decided to go back to using the autopilot i noticed that as soon as the A/P engaged the elevators were commanded down as before but the aircraft would stay at whatever altitude was commanded,so i could work with it but it wasnt very realistic i thought. imagine the fuel wastage due to drag.anyway after weeks of this i noticed that it was happening mostly when i would do say two flights without changing the aircraft and just entering the second flight into the FMC as in real world.but when i would be entering the new details for the second flight into FMC I i was just overwriting the route details,flt no,crz alt,perf figs etc.and of course this problem came back.but i have found that after the first flight is completed and i go into the FMC and manually delete everything about the first flight DEP,ARR,CRZ ALT ETC and then enter the figures for my second flight i have never had that problem with the elevators come back.so maybe its just something in the FMC about the weight,crz alt,trim setting from the first flight that it remembers and confuses it with during the second flight figs causing the A/P to command elevators down like that.Like i said since i have started completely deleting the FMC before entering new route details i have never had this problem show its ugly head.i am using FSX and unregistered FSUIPC ver4.60,PMDG747-400X ver2.10i dont think this occurs in realworld ops without causing a serious problem at ROTATE,and i also dont think its a problem on PMDGs side either.hope this might help some folk at least.regards terry macaskill

hi wanderer,it seems i have a similar issue using FSX and flying the freighter,although my PFD and the backup airspeed indicator both show 272knts@FL370 while when i use shift+Z it indicates 277kias with all wind turned of in the settings.i know FS has a lot of issues with windspeed and direction changes at altitude,maybe this is another MSFS problem and not the PMDG747?I think i would be inclined to put it down too something in MSFS weather engine rather than the PMDG sim.Also looking at your screenshots i looks to me that your analogue indicator is reading above 290knts to me but mabe its my eyes?using shift+Z on my setup also tells me that the wind is 4mag@0knts, now how can there be a direction if there is no wind?so i then turned the aircraft to 004 deg to see if that made any difference but none whatsoever.STRANGE!!!regards Terry Macaskill

what about adding a new waypoint using the fix key? call the fix say the icao identifier for your destination EGLL,VHHX or wherever etc then enter a bearing and distance from the runway you want the waypoint to be.ie EGLL 27L approach would be require a fix called "EGLL 090/15" which is a waypoint 15 miles out from egll on a heading of 090 degrees.which should be lined up nicely for 27Land then enter that waypoint by selecting it and placing it in your legs page before your final fix for approach.which would give you a wider turnsorry if terminology is wrong!terry macaskill

theres a setting in fsx settings that says "pilot controls aircraft lights".do you have that ticked or not mabe thats your problemEDIT sorry just noticed your using fs9terry
