Hello Turbine777,thank you very much for your help, I hope I've not been too tiresome. I will try the FSUIPC tuning, like you told me. Concerning your off-topic question, yes I've installed the Service Pack 2 for FSX, but I didn't mean this SP, I meant the update for the PMDG B744, B744F (FSX Version) V2.1 . It was my fault, thus, the SP2 for FSX is installed, the V2.1 for the PMDG B744 also. I imagine that the problem started after the installation of it. But perhaps I am "off base" and it has nothing to do with it, because a similar problem appeared, as I've written in a former posting, with the WILCO Boeing 777 (but I've to consider, that I'm not "type-rated" so well in it, my main aeroplane is the PMDG B744, although I love the Triple 7). Thank you aganin Turbine777!Bernhard Medina

Thanks Turbine777. You are right, it's a problem with the administrator rights, but it was not so easy to activate it, but ow it works.Perhaps you can remember my problem with holding the track and altitude. I installes the FSUIPC and the track fix, which I downloaded from flight1. Then the problem disappeared for several flights, even with normal weather settings. Now very slowly the problem appears again. So now sometimes it can't hold the track for a short time, then moves back again, or can't hold all altitudes. (It begun like this some months ago) I think if I "recall" the last months the problem started with installing the Service Pack. But of course I am not sure with that, because the same problem appeared with the Boeing 777 of WILCO (although the Triple 7 can hold the altitude but not always the track). Perhaps there exists a severe incompatibility problem with "sophisticated" aerplanes like the ones from PMDG or the Triple 7 from Wilco. Ah, it's driving me crazy, because I really like this aeroplanes and I am a long time "simmer".Thanks

Hello guys,thanks for your help. But the problem still exists.I can explain it to you. Even my load managaer doesn't work properly. I think that there is a problem in writing the aircraft.cfg. Thus, if I want to load my B744 properly I have to start the MSFSX, then if I am in "sitting" in my aeroplane in the airprort, I have to switch with the ALT + Tab to the Load manager and then I load my aeroplane and switch back, voila, everything is loaded.So, I think, that the main problem is, that my aircraft.cfg can't be changed. Do you have an idea, how to change it or to make it "writeable"? There must be a function, I think, but i don't know how.ThanksBernhard Medina

Hello captains,I think of course someone of you had the same problem like me. I installed the addon for the Boeing 747-8 and installed it properly. But always when I want to use the new aeroplane I don't start in the cockpit I start back of it. And yes, I loaded the config manager before, the problem is still here. Thanks!Bernhard Medina, Dusseldorf, Germany

Thanks I will look for it at FLight 1. Oh yes I#ve forgotten to send a snapshot of this problem. You have to imagine, it's like the aeroplane is driving slalom and not holding the track. Thanks for your help!

I flew from EDDL to EKCH now! My next fly today will be LOWW-SBGR. Well land tommorrow.I updated my FSUIPC.dll and cleared all weather. Now it held the track, but not the altitude. I don't know if the track holding had something to do with my weather clearence. My FSX AI Controller was also weird, he always wanted me to go to another direction, like go 203

So,I have forgotten to tell you, that I use FSC8 for generating flight plans. Could this be the problem? But if I remember I had it even before.Another important thing, as a real PMDG fan and a "full-blood" simmer of course I am watching several tutorials for the B744 PMDG on youtube (eg. meloeschers' 9 part tutorial). What I've recognized is, that it doesn't seem that the other simmers have problems with a "rightdrift" of their aeroplane! I can't control my aeroplane on the ground straigt ahead. I have always to use my pedals (joystick) to drive on the middle of the runway (during start) Could this "right-drift" of my aeroplane be a problem, or is it normal for the Boeings 747's? Thank you again for your help!Happy Easter!Will try now a short flight from EDDL to EKCH (Dusseldorf-Kopenhagen). Be right back after it for reporting.See yaBernhard

Hello thank you for your answer, but I didn't find the track fix! I don't want to be tiresome, but if you have time, can you send me the link, please. Because this track issue is more annoying than anything else.

Hello Guys, thank you very much, I'll try this things and I'll report. To Leffe, I don't think these are only the powerful winds, because a sudden windblast doesn't annoy me the whole flight. It could really be an incompatibility problem.Where can I find this track fix? On the main PMDG homepage? I am sorry for my name, but I'll put it in the signature, according to forum rules.See ya and thanks!

I have a very important question. Since months I have a big problem with the B744 of PMDG. A problem which I didn't have at the beginning. I couldn't neither find the cause nor could I fix it, I don't know if it is an incompatibility problem with MSFX or if I have forgotten to fix something. So, the first problem is, that my B744 (MD11 of PMDG also) can't hold an altitude. eg. I want to have 31000 feet, the plane isn't able to hold it. It flies up and down, up and down, up and down for the whole flight. But not some feet the V/S turns up and down up to 1800 ft sometimes. Until now I couldn't fix it, neither with exact fuel calculation, nor with exact programming of the FMC.The second and worst problem is that my plane is absolutely not able to hold the magenta line (the track I meant). It isn't able to follow the track. Suddenly during the flight it flies left and right of it, like slalom; meandering course. Sometimes in another direction for hours before it turns again to the track. It's really annoying, I tried many things to fix it (reinstall the game, install the update etc...): I have controlled the legs page and so on, but I really couldn't find the cause! I really like the PMDG simulations, thus I am really desperate of this. Can anyone help me or has an idea? Thanks!
