Hello, I am having a problem with the 777 not saving it's current FMC, autopilot, etc state when I save the flight within FSX. I save my flights randomly in case of crashes or needing to exit FSX using the ; option in FSX. I have done this in the past and everytime I re-load the flight after the 20 second countdown everything loads into the FMC and autopilot. I have taken a bit of a break from FSX until last night. Today I decided to do a 777 flight, I saved it off and on. I then had to exit FSX to do something else and I saved the flight and closed FSX. About an hour later I came back reloaded the flight and the 20 second countdown happened but it did not load any of the 777's previous FMC or autopilot settings from before I saved and exited FSX. Any ideas why or how to fix that? Thanks Mike

It's on all of my pmdg flight's that have to be restarted due to FSX crash or something else. I'll start making new saved flies for every time I save and see if that helps.

Hello, I have noticed lately that when saving a 772/3 flight with this ; button in fsx, the FMC does not load back. The plane loads where I saved it, but the FMC is empty so to speak. I have to re enter all the weight and waypoint etc. I used to load the plane and FMC back. I normally save over pevious saved files with no problem. However once I noticed the FMC not re loading I deleted the old saved files. Still save the plnes but not the FMC, autopilot or anything. Anyone have this happen, if so what did you do to fix this? Thanks Mike

At cruise alt going from Rarotonga (Ncrg) in the cook islands to Auckland New Zealand. I added two shots from takeoff.

I agree with what Kevin says. I have had it happen a few times. Only on the ground never in flight. What I do is just save the flight within FSX and completely close FSX. Restart FSX and load the saved flight. It clears up everything. Not sure if that's the proper way or if you should re do all the setting up. But it clears it up for me.

Oh ok I will have to try that out. Thanks for the tip.

What your talking about Jon on the panel not initiating instantly. Is that the same as how the 777 does it? If so I know excetly what your talking about. If I have to reload in cruise its not to bad, but if your on approach it can get tricky for a few moments lol. I've been island hopping on a Hawaiian 717 since last night. Freeware is boring cant wait to get back into the T7 or the NGX if I can get it soon.

oh thanks guys. olli i'll look in to FS Captain and XPAX.

Is it ok to use fspassengers with PMDG products? In the 777 manual it was saying something about not using the fsx fuel thing. I would turn off failures within fspassengers and only use it for people, and cargo weights. The fuel I would do using the FMC.

Hopefully in the next few weeks i'll be able to get the NGX then i'll wait on the 744 V2. The T7 runs pertty good on my computer, I think it has only crashed once or twice (knock on wood). It does start bogging down when I get to LAX, DFW, and other airports that I have payware scenery. But that can be expected. Overall I can't complain about buying the 777. If the other PMDG products are close to as good as the 777 they will be worth the money.

First off I have the PMDG 777 and love the plane. I have only flown one other aircraft since buying the T7. I have a few questions about the PMDG 747 and 737NGX. In flight with the PMDG T7 if I press the semi colon key to save the flight. It saves all of the everything the the T7 is doing. The leg it's on, all FMC stuff, overhead, etc. My question on the NGX and 747 does this work as well? I have read that on the NGX it does sometimes, and sometimes it does not. Somethings I have read says that you use the panel save feature on the NGX(not sure about the 47 have not read up on that yet) but have heard that the panel save does not work when loading the flight in mid flight. The PMDG T7 is some what of a system hog are the 747 and NGX about the same. I think thats it for now. Thanks mike

I did not think about that. Crap I guess I will have to join another va for the time being.

I thought I was the only one. I poasted about this on two other fourms and have had no answers. This sucks why can't people leave other peoples stuff alone. Does anyone have the ftgacars program they can email me? If I had this then and it still worked not sure if it would. I could still fly and have the flight save to the logbook and send them when tthe site comes back up.
