  1. Now that Skyvector has world charts, make your own route. http://skyvector.com/
  2. I might have the wrong photographs, but all the ones that I have use the tail number "N738PM," which is non-descriptive for any airline. I kept most of the old photographs in a Picasa Web Album- Here. The oldest photos by PMDG are not there because they had already been removed by AVSIM.
  3. I won't speak for what PMDG might or might not be able to do. But reflections go in the base FSX are incredibly poor. Go find a lake and look through the reflection for that. Sometimes (or maybe all the time?) You will see a mountain in a forest reflected, even if there is none present.
  4. Instead of using the FMC-based switch, you can alter the tail number of your aircraft. The NGX builds a file for per tail number, so if you use the same tail number it will pull the same data.
  5. I suppose you might not really need to hear this if you are rebuilding it, but I can't "see" the site. It's all black right now.
  6. You can disable the REX Weather Engine on the REX configuration page.
  7. Now if you wanted to be exact, here's the equation: 0.5 * (((Airspeed - Headwind) * 1.6878)^2 / Deceleration_Rate) Airspeed and Headwind are in Knots Deceleration_Rate is in ft/s^2 Result is in feet That is your rollout once the brakes engage, you might want to add 1000 feet or so to simulate the "landing zone."
  8. Loading a flight from the FSX Free flight screen is for loading positions and aircraft. To load the PMDG plans you must do that through the CDU. There is no way to do that from just FSX. Your FSX plans are in " My Documents / Flight Simulator X " (or the like).
  9. If you can see the nose from the flight deck in the real thing I'm sure they would model it.
  10. Or if you are doing a visual approach, you can type in how far out you want the centerline to extend after you select the runway on your DEP/ARR page.
  11. I would rather go for PPI over total size. I had two spare monitors in my house to choose from when I got my new flying computer. The first was a 48-inch TV screen, but only 720 pixels tall. The second was a 32-inch computer monitor that was 1080 high. The difference was phenomenal. On the 720 screen you had to zoom in pretty far to clearly read the smaller numbers. But on the HD-1080p monitor you could zoom out a lot further and still have the detail. So my advice is to go for whichever has the highest pixel count, preferably vertical pixels, those make a huge difference.
  12. There is a very good freeware FSX airport editor at http://www.zbluesoftware.com/fsxplanner/. Download it and you can add/remove/change runway ILS frequencies, among others.
  13. I use NOAA for my winds, http://aviationweather.gov/iffdp/. (PS, when you go into it, always click on the blue dot rather than the number for .pdf form.)
  14. I don't think it makes much difference, you can install in any order. But if I could ask a sort-of related question. As far I know, the freighter and the passenger 747 were released as one product in FSX. Was that not the case early on or something?
  15. ¿Sus monitores conectados a la misma computadora? Si lo están, se puede desacoplar un FMC y lo puso en una pantalla diferente.
  16. Robert said they would. Reread the sticky thread, it says:
  17. <sarcasm> No, really. </sarcasm>Anyone familiar with ATL operations knows that 26L is departing only, and 26R is for arrivals.
  18. Or get your Saitek drivers installed, and open up the command interface. Assign CAPS LOCK to your button one. That's free. Link: http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php
  19. Yeah you have to hold Tab while typing. The alternate way is to click on the scratchpad with your mouse, that turns it on and it stays until you click it again (this gets frustrating when you use spacebar to move your view, but what you gonna do).
  20. In the "NAVDATAwpNavAPT" file, each runway is given an altitude. So find EPKK, and for the specific runway change it to what you want. You need to know though that since FSX doesn't simulate sloped runways, the entire airport is at the same elevation. You should leave the runway values at the airport elevation for maximum sim-realism.The last 5 digits are the altitude, represented from column 70 to 74.EDIT: Well nevermind then :(
  21. Something that likely will not help, but to cover all bases, try going to precisionmanuals.com. The message appears to say you cannot access the PMDG website, like for activation or something.
  22. There isn't a database already made, though someone with a little programming experience could make one. You can find it yourself by using the search function (make sure to include the contents of each file in the search). Search "FSXPMDGSidstars" for "Gates." Every airport with gate positions for you to use will show up.
  23. Check your insert button (Might be listed as INS on your keyboard). If it happens again, press Insert and see if that fixes it.
  24. http://code.google.com/p/fscode/wiki/PDFKneeboardYou can try it, but I wouldn't expect great performance. It takes a few seconds to load a one page approach procedure, can't imagine what 100 pages would do to it.
  25. PDF's embedded in the VC for sure would be hard, but rendering them in an FSX window has already been done. You can open any PDF file within FSX with this utility.http://code.google.com/p/fscode/wiki/PDFKneeboard
