Bought and installed the premium deluxe edition on Christmas eve, and trying to use the default flight planner to plot an IFR route. Specified a runway for departure and when ATC directs me to depart from a different runway, I can't change the runway in the B787-10's FMS. Can someone enlighten me on how to change the runway in FMS please?

I'm trying to update Operations Centre online, but it's very slow and times out after a while. Can I download the update file offline and install it? I have/use 777 for FSX only, hence is there an option to exclude updating the other DLL's - e.g., 737NGX, 777 SE, etc.?

I downloaded SP1c today and found it's the same name and size as the one I downloaded Oct 2014. Also, Ops Center says my installed version is 1.10.6155 with 1.10.6320 (SP1d) available. So, I don't need this to update after all???

Thanks, can I download the package to update instead of using the Ops Center?

So, if I run FSX without logging into Steam, then I don't need to update to SP1c or SP1d?

I know, except that section and other forums are so big it's not easy to find what you want. On the other hand, someone who has been using P3D for sometime should be able to point me in the right direction more easily ... rather than being rude about it. So, you don't need to convert them and they will work straight away in P3D? Regards, Harry

I was more interested in P3D tweaks like Kostas for FSX and if the airports and AI aircraft that comes standard are fine or is it possible to install freeware airports and sceneries like those in FSX. I can imagine there are many threads about P3D tweaks and tips, and a forum is general the best place to ask short of Google.

Rod, +1 as in I agree with you. As my Vref+5 is for flaps25 and higher speed, it takes longer for the aircraft to slow to a minimum for the reverse thrusters to kick in ... just a theory.

This assumes you have bought Fly Tampa for FSX, right? What are the standard airports and AI traffic like in P3D? Can you point me to the thread, please. Also, is there a thread with guidelines and tips on installing P3D and configuring it on Win 7 64-bit? Cheers, Harry

+1 What's your VRef+5 speed for landing? Mine's usually 153 or 154.

Thanks for the preview Robert ... the B777 looks really amazing :rolleyes: Please give existing PMDG 777 a discount or trade-in for P3D :wub: Cheers, Harry

Alright, I finally got the reverse thrusters opened just before the nose gear came down last night. I had to keep holding F2 after the main gears touched down for a good 4 seconds or so ... is this what everyone has to do?

OK, thanks Antoni. I press F1 when I hear the Minimums call out at 50 feet and then F2 when the main gears touch down. Next, I press and hold down F2 a second time. Should I press and hold F2 once when the main gears touch down?

Do you mean flick the A/T lever down (switch off)? I shall give this a try tonight Cheers, Harry

I always press and hold F1 before the main gears touch down and then press F2 twice with the 2nd press holding down the button. I don't use a yoke or joystick ... just the keyboard Cheers, Harry

I don't have FSUIPC installed, and still can't get the reverse thrusters to activate until the nose gear is down.

Same for me.

Has SP1c added the GE-90-115B engine config for B772-LR b/c last I time checked, t'was still using the GE-90-110B engines.

Thanks guys for releasing this package as scheduled this time I'm testing my first flight after installing it, and so far everything is running smoothly, and noticed there are more texture details interior and exterior?

What are the differences if Wet is selected?

I couldn't help myself smiling and laughing when I read the title and the OP's experience in this thread ... comments from others about finding the black box and using Alt-F4 didn't help me from holding back either I had a similar experience where after a couple of hours flight from VNKT, the EICAS or the one above it displayed a warning that my right engine's oil temperature was overheating. After another hour, it decided to shut down. I could have tried to land into VHHH with one engine, but decided to cheat by going to FS Action in the FMC to reset all failures. The right engine started slowly as if the aircraft was on the tarmac ... really? In real life, how much lead time or tolerance would the Boeing system give you about such maintenance issues before failing?

If you are getting jagged edges after updating nVidia, you need to disallow nVidia's preferred FXAA usage in the Inspector.

I found increasing TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT value from 40 to 150 has significantly reduced the time lag between external and VC view. My TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD is set to 4096 and am using a GTX760OC with 4GB RAM. Hope this will help you.

I'm interested to know how PMDG selects the beta testers - do they select testers using different rigs, configurations, etc.?
