Is the HS button on the main panel lit up? Also the right headset device selected under SEC panel, audio?

Further reasoning behind that is that runway 13R/31L is closed for resurfacing and has been temporarily moved over to the parallel taxiway (and runway 13L/31R is also closed).

The answer to this question is the answer to many questions in aviation, it depends. Specifically it depends on the operator's SOP, but the per the FCOM it only specifically mentions leaving the system A un-pressurized if the bypass pin is *not* installed. See FCOM vol 1, pdf pg 106 Based on Boeing's procedures you can have either SYS A un-pressurized or have the pin in, but I'm sure there are airlines out there that call for SYS A to be off regardless of the pin as an added layer of safety or standardization.

For some reason that has never worked for me. Turns it on, but it can't be turned off.

In the 777 they give you an option like you're requesting, so I don't see why they wouldn't do the same with the 737.

Don't know if fs2crew supports it, but more importantly FSX doesn't really support it. Even with full opposite rudder you likely won't be able to taxi straight, and forget about turning against the running engine.

That solved it, thanks. If only it said that on Avsim, or the readme that comes with the file. I didn't download the other one at first because I already have Chris Hicks' paint. Anyway thanks again.

Hey, sorry to go OT but I downloaded your AA oneworld paint and it looks like there are some textures missing somehow. Could it be because of the changes to the OC? I did try removing it and re-downloading and re-installing the ptp.

It didn't out of the box, you had to set that up. Have a look here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/421182-is-the-pmdg-777-documentation-missing-important-panel-access-information/page-2#entry2800786

Thanks, that's how I thought it was intended. When I was testing this yesterday I couldn't get the 2 presses in fast enough with my joystick button for option 2. Using the key command works, so I do see the difference now.

Did the -200 you were flying happen to be the Freighter? If so, it was removed due to not being available on the Freighter in reality. It's also not available on the -300ER.

I noticed there are now 3 options listed for "AP DISC SCHEME": 1 Press, 2 Presses, and 2 Presses Unsilenced. Testing them it seems 1 Press disconnects and silences, but both of the 2 Press options appear to behave the same as before where you need to wait the 1.5 seconds or so between presses. What is the difference between the 2 options? I did search the FCOM but did't find anything.

Are those cones part of the scenery, or were they added to the CDU options like the chocks? I don't see them around the other aircraft in the first shot which leads me to believe that it's the latter.

No idea, but I'm sure they'll tell us either here or in the manual when the SP comes out. My guess is it'll just work.

highmemfix in the .cfg? Advanced animations on? Loading the 777 on top of the 777 or NGX? (See intro manual) I'd guess the last one, that's the main reason I've seen for problems like that.

You can also find it by going to the CDU > INIT REF > INDEX > NAV DATA, then type the airport identifier into the scratchpad and select it up to 2L (airport ident).

What functions specifically?

reference this post: http://www.gadling.com/2009/04/29/cockpit-chronicles-practicing-takeoff-and-landings-in-a-737-w/

Ah yeah, to be specific I didn't mean the chronometer but rather the ET function.. oops.

Some airlines might start one at brake release and the other at takeoff. That's what I do with the 737 with FS2Crew, I start the left one at brakes off (and run it till brakes set) and the FO automatically starts his at T/O and stops it exiting the runway. As always it will differ between operators.

FCOM? Copy of the real Boeing one, doesn't get any more accurate than that.

It doesn't, this is in the sim so you can get to the switches that the projector blocks from the normal VC view. I think this is mentioned in the intro manual.

Aux fuel tanks, much more range.

Might be a different 777 for FS, some others have more "eye candy". The clipboard in the PMDG 777 doesn't do anything.
