Yes, and then rant about it!

All the best in your new position Kyle!

I'm totally not an expert in this but wouldn't it be possible via some third party software? Like FSUIPC or any other?

Exactly! ICAO and MAS did not fire anything...

You can try and go through all the possible troubleshooters for SB4 but tbh that will not help you. Solving this problem will lead you in another (i.e. - crashing FSX when someone writes a PM, etc. etc.). FSinn is a way to go. It is not bug-free, but it works. You'll need to configure it properly and then it works.

Simple and kinda blunt suggestion - turn it all off. This all is not working in normal way, never did. Plus it makes sim to perform worse.

No, it's not. Like any other hobby, that includes buying/upgrading/maintaining part.

It's sad that I can not say exactly what holds your MD11 away from starting desc., but setting minimums (like DH) has nothing to do with this. If you see the arrow-marked T/D point, it has to start descending without specific minimums.

Yes, indeed.

Yes, when I faced this problem for the first time, I thought the same, but later on found out that this has nothing to do with flows or procedures you are performing. Even tried things like bringing plane back to cold&dark (simply switching all of, not by loading panel state) and then trying to start all over. Never helped. Once it refuses to align - it's not gonna work. Only solution - restart flight. I was reffering to Rob aka Sponge, not RSR.

Rob and others... As it was pointed out - unfortunately MD11 produces this error time after time if you use short align time. This is no user error Kyle. It just happens. It has nothing to do with clicking INITIALIZE IRS either. What I am not sure of... that you will completely eliminate the problem with the full time align setting. It still may happen. However, I can not confirm.

Hi! Let me make it short! This is the best combination so far: PMDG plane (best planes) + PFPX (best palnning tool) + VATSIM I would like to add one more add-on to this list: OpusFSX. Best weather tool for FSX. Don't be afraid! You can easily use text only for comms with online ATCs or you can "receive" voice and reply with text. This is up to you. I would strongly suggest NOT to use any passenger simulating software, because those add loads of unneccessary s*itload and unrealistic failures, etc. But that's a question of taste, ofcourse.

nah, he uses some 3rd party camer addon to switch between panels!

You will have to use emergency evacuation rope for that, sir! :rolleyes:

Ha ha, these are the moments that keep us flying and trying to get better. Well done Marko!
