    Hi Bryan,

     

    I'm a user of FS2 Crew for PMDG 744X voice and NGX voice for over 6 months now. I've been flying the 744 with FS2 crew the past 10 flights over 2 months and have noticed in last 2 flights that the First Officer is not saying anything during Landing and Shut Down. He normally repeats my flap calls during landing, but the last thing I heard him say was Landing Data Set after passing 10,000 feet. I make my commands and the system recognizes and does them, but with no voice feedback. The FO doesn't say anything until after I land and call for the After Landing Checklist. And when I get to the gate for the shut down, he doesn't say the checklist. I can hear the groundcrew telling me the chocks are in, but FO doesn't say anything. If I pretend he says the checklist and respond with the challenge, when I get to the last shutdown checklist item, the system changes to SECURE AIRCRAFT.

     

    I've seen something similar in the forums, but can't remember if it was in the 744 or NGX. Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Jan,

     

    It's the FSX default ATIS as stated above. Here is how I dealt with it:

     

    Go to FSX sound options and uncheck the voice box.

     

    Best Regards

    i am going to Germany on Lufthansa and i am flying a 747 in seat 47K and on the way back an A380 on seat 81 A. I was wondering how are the views of the wing on these seats and if they are good seats. Also how is flying economy of Lufthansa.

     

    Check out www.seatguru.com for feedback from passengers' experience with Lufthansa and other airlines regarding seat location on their different fleet aircraft and many configurations.

    Basically subtract 30 from your current distance to next waypoint and install an along track bearing distance waypoint in the FMC.

     

    E.G. 80 miles to run to OSI vortac.... ATC wants me at 8000 feet in 30 miles from current position. 80-30=50. That's the distance from the OSI vor that I should be at 8000 feet. If I'm tracking heading 090, than the bearing from OSI is 270. Enter in the FMC in this format FFFFFRRR/DD

     

    Where:

    FFFFF is the Fix name up to 5 characters

    RRR is the bearing or radial and must be 3 characters (include leading zero's if any)

    DD is the distance up to 2 characters

     

    example of above scenario. I would enter OSI270/50 as my waypoint to be at 8000 feet.

    You may calculate fuel vroute premium(I have premium vroute) but theres a problem with pax + cargo weight.In pmdg fmc only it gives you the number of pax not weight but in vroute premium it need pax+cargo weight.So do you have any solutions?

     

    Hi. Topcat works great for pax, cargo and total payload weights. I use it to get my payload weight to enter into vroute.

    Hi,

     

    The FO does only 2 things on the mcp & center pedestal during preflight. He turns on FD on his side and switches autobrake to RTO. Everything else is done by you.

     

    And no the FO cannot set headings, speeds, altitudes, or frequencies.

     

    Yes, this version is very different than the NGX, but it is still good to fly.

     

    The tutorial and manual can explain further. Have a good flight.

    Hello DLH_FRA,

     

    Enter your EET in the remarks section #11

     

    e.g. EET/CZQX0104 EGGX0448 EISN0453 EGPX0511 EGTT0556 EHAA0627 EDWW0630 REG/N270WA SEL/DEAG RTF/WORLD PER/D NAV/RNP4 GPSRNAV RMK/ACARS EQUIPPED TCAS EQUIPPED

     

    There should be enough room for the characters in that field. I've not had a problem with a limitation there. But than I've never pre-filed on the site before. I file my plan through my pilot cleint squawkbox where I download the file of my routes from a freeware program such as vroute and than I edit the file to include my standard remarks, which is character limited in the squawkbox program.

    Hello,

     

    Could anyone tell me if it is possible to set the transition level in the FMS (that is the altitude where the 29.92 Hg (QNE) setting should be changed to the local altimiter setting (QNH)?

     

    The FMC provides a page to set the transition Altitude (QNH TO QNE) but I can't find the other one. I read the manual forward and backwards but no cigar..!

     

    Thank you for your reply.

    .

     

    VNAV button - pg 3 - select FORECAST bottom right - enter TL in scratchpad and place it top left where you see FL180. format is same as FL, not altitude in feet.

    I realize this is old, but the way I get by it is to -

     

    IN THE FMC

    - Create a place/bearing/distance point for the entry into the arc or use the provided waypoint

    - Create a place/bearing/distance point for the exit of the arc or use the provided waypoint

    - Create a fix with the arc dme from the fix origin -- Fix button on FMC

    FLYING THE PLANE

    - Upon entry use hand flying or HDG SEL to follow the arc/circle on HSI

    - Upon exit resume LNAV or other

     

    Takes all of 10 seconds to do,, entering into FMC that is.

    I create bearing/distance waypoints from arc entry to exit. Just increase or decrease bearing by 10 degrees until exit. Keep it in LNAV and you will fly the perfect arc everytime.

    Another good utility for passengers, weights, and fuel loads is Topcat. The freeware version gives you this for the 744 only. If you want to use the takeoff and landing pages it requires purchasing a license, but it's extremely worth it. See you tomorrow in Krakow ^_^Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
