To the FS2Crew gang, Thanks again for the wonderful button edition. I use it just about every second day (the other day is on the NGX). I hope it's generated the right amount of interest and customers to justify its creation. Splendid job. Cheers

Great news. Credit card is ready! Thanks Bryan Steve Mac

Where's the update that allows me to use my 777 from FSX in P3D without forking out an additional $135? Steve McLaren P.S. @*&^/$! awesome product though (finish on a high). Thanks Kyle

Seems v2 of the piston Duke works quite well in P3D v3

Gday all I had the no click spots issue (not all switches/knobs, about half I reckon)in both 2d and vc after uninstalling the 737 from P3D v2 and downloading/installing the new version for P3D v3. I followed the readme, even down to installing the simconnect.msi's. Still no click spots. It occurred to me it might be a registry issue since during install I had to move the prepar3d.exe from the v2 root folder for the installer to find v3 (I've still got v2 installed until I have v3 fully up & running). So I ran CCleaner to scan for registry issues, selected fix all, then reboot. All good! Everything works. Thanks PMDG for a swift transition to v3 and great support. Cheers Steve McLaren

My point exactly Steve McLaren

You'll be impressed with the differences (improvements) between the FSX and Prepar3D versions of PMDG's 737 & 777. Well worth paying full price again Steve McLaren

So disappointing but it is what it is. After figuring out how best to utilise FS2Crew with the NGX I was hoping to gain the same sort of immersion with the Dash8. Voice control simply isn't possible for me due to noise constraints. Hope this doesn't lead to other products being solely voice control. Fantastic product line though. Keep up the great work. Steve Mac

Optimize Parts had no impact whatsoever on my NGX using v2.4. Frames remain low (high teens) at complex airports with many of the sliders on mid to low setting. My rig: i7 3820 @4.6 GHz, GTX770 4Gb, 16 Gb 1833 RAM Steve Mac

3 minutes after Robert's post. That's either great timing or stalking Sold. Great work guys. Leading the way, still. Steve McLaren

Thanks Ken. It's great to have someone with real world operational experience provide some detail to those of us that are desk-bound. Steve McLaren

I don't work on the 777 so can't speak for it. Generally speaking if the pressure drop is excessive then risk of a hot start is higher if not likely. I'm not aware of any APU that can crank 2 large mass turbofans simultaneously to sufficient RPM to support self sustain. Someone out there could probably correct or confirm this. Steve McLaren

You won't damage the APU by multiple simultaneous engine starts. The RPM for high bleed air demand (ie. engine start) is fixed, typically 100%. Therefore, bleed air pressure is fixed. What the operator chooses to with that available pressure downstream has no effect on the source. The first bleed air pressure regualtor after the bleed stage will modulate to supply the required flow to maintain downstream pressure to the point where it is full open (maximum demand). At that point, further demand downstream will result in reduced pressure at the start valves, while the load on the APU remains the same. Typically, engine start valves can only be opened individually because the available pressure would only be enough to crank one engine to a sufficient RPM to then be able to safely add fuel. Steve McLaren Steve McLaren

Whoa! Since when can you offer an opinion on AVSIM? All the threads I've read so far about the 777 point to P3D being the root cause of the improved flying experience, across multiple aircraft types/publishers. Steve McLaren
