first test flight was flawless. quick touch and go around ENGM (cargo ops ftw!!) Gonna go get the 300 as soon as i am happy with the 200 lol. I noticed the Terrain display does the sweeping update like the weather radar does, is it always been like that or did I just miss it?

secretly reading this at work, big smile on face, no one knows why lol

most are waiting for the 300 or SP1 and its weather radar. Me Im waiting for FS2crew

You might want to think about a mortgage to pay that off. Good luck with it though.

Dovetail is all about the DLC. The core game has not really changed much at all since 2010 and they are making no attempt to develop it in the direction of "Simulation" Its a game and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I suppose at the end of the day its much like FSX. Without 3rd parties (call it DLC if you must) it would be long forgotton. FSX has A2A PMDG and many other quality 3rd parties. Train "simulator" has Just Trains (advance series engines) and a "few" quality scenery addons, but the core game has not changed. I really don't expect much from Dovetail but i've been wrong before.

happens to me also. Use GSX but I dont know if its that. I dont remeber it happening before but Im mostly flying the 737 untill the 777 update comes (far to many out of memory issues for me lol)

So im sat at the gate with the engines off and apu running, plugged in the fuel figure (from PFPX) into the CDU and all is well with approx 5 tons fuel at the destination. then I push back and start the engines and suddenly get "Insufficient Fuel" warning, and only 1.1 tons at destination. is it just me? Where did my 4 tons go? lol.

you could do what I do and have 1 view for the cruise with all the head movment options on (tuned them myself) and one for landing and take off with the option off, same view but only 1 button to change the view.

Topic says it all but are we likely to see the ability to import wind data from PFPX or active sky on the 737? Would be neat as i do more start/stop flying with the 737 than the longer flights of the 777.

I found PFPX pretty good, over 3 flights where within 500lbs of fuel diffrence at the end of the flight compared to the calculated estimate. so long as you put in the wind data (can be copy/pasted if you have activesky which is a blessing!) Again if you give the FMC all the data you have its pretty accurate also.

The 777, 737NGX and Cessna (A2A) are all ive flown in the last week lol. I condsider all 3 to be the pinicle of their particular field of flight simulation atm. We are so lucky to be flight simmers right now! Also been flying the MI-8 from DCS lol.

Currently at ENGM after a test flight with PFPX from EGCC. Not even a short hop for a 777 =) Performance of the flight was almost flawless with only 180lb fuel diffrence after landing.

anywhere! EGCC to ENGM, a short hop for a 777 but familiar to me from my NGX flying.

cannot recommend it enough!. if you have Track IR or not. You can blind any view to any key, even joystick buttons. You can tune it endlessly or just use profiles others have created. Im using the profile that angle of attack provide, not sure if you can get this without register but there are many out there!

the FMC cannot go back once its started a Decent. Its just not standard operations. Normaly the only time you might decend well before the TOD, is for avoiding weather/other aircraft etc. Your flightplan should not have a lower alt built into it untill TOD.
