I like to fly in full screen mode, mainly so I dont have my desktop on show etc... and am fed up with editing my screenshots to remove all surrounding borders. So when I enter full screen, I seem to loose all functionality of my view selections (yet to assign keyboard commands, so unsure if this will fix the issue) but the one item I seem to have trouble with is zoom. I'm using Alpha Exp V0.1.622.

Hi Kevin, Just quick update, your suggestion has worked, initially I thought the only function was to disable in high VAS, but didn't realise there was a slider option a little further down! Thanks again

I think something has changed, I've deselected "Disable advanced features" and so far, no random view changes. I've still got the Cinematic Mode enabled at the moment! Will keep you informed.

I've been doing a flight over the last couple of days (unable to complete in one) at first, the random view cycling I put down to my Saitek controls, but having done everything I need to stop the controls making the random cycle, I'm still experiencing this issue. So the other night, I noticed a forum page that suggested it was the FSX-SE that was causing the issue, but with the simulator running, I've been unable to test this. That was until my Chaseplane crashed, after force closing the software, the random view cycles stopped. I've ran the simulator for 4 hours without the programme running, and no apparent view changes have taken place, until I restarted Chaseplane 2 hours ago, now the random view cycling has begun again. I'm running Experimental V0.1.596.

Jim, Whereabouts will I find this log? Not currently sat at the PC at the moment, but will have a look this evening, and more out of curiosity, find out if my suspicions are confirmed. I wonder if the duration of 'Auto Save' is set high, will the pause be less likely, but for a longer duration?

Apologies for bringing up an old topic, not sure if it could be classed as relevant, I know from reading the topic that most people are looking at the hardware and operating software as a likely culprit. I also have this aforementioned random pause and subsequent recovery a minute or so later. My PC specs are as follows: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (3.2Ghz, not overclocked since windows re-install) Asus M2N68 AM2 motherboard (also compatible with AM2+ & AM3 processors) 8GB of RAM (unsure of specs) Windows 7 64bit Home Premium Sapphire Vapor-X 5870 Gfx Card (ATI) Seagate Baracuda 1TB hard drive (Primary Windows HD) Western Digital 500GB hard drive (FSX Main Drive) Western Digital 250GB hard drive (FSX Software Storage Drive) What I have discovered (though not tested as of yet) is on my registered FSUIPC for FSX, I have the 'Auto Save' setting checked, and set to save every 5 minutes, and I could even count down the duration from the previous pause to the next via my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke clock. At first I thought it was too much of a coincidence, as I initially thought it was my REX software (also set to inject every 5 min) but I noticed that it would inject approx 1.3 min after the pause (every pause) so that was ruled out. So I'm beginning to wonder if its the 'Auto Save' feature built into FSUIPC, I only have just set this since re-installing Windows and FSX, and I noticed while undertaking a flight from EGLL to ZSPD, during flight, and just before touchdown, I've had consistent pauses, it hung for 30ish seconds, then resumed. After successfully touching down, and started to taxi to stand, and all in this time, I'm counting down to the next pause....... 2, 3 then 4 minutes pass after the 5 minute countdown ends, and no pause what so ever. How many other people here use the 'Auto Save' function? Has anyone even thought of this?

You have to keep women sweet, especially when it comes to our biggest hobby, otherwise you get 'AIDS' (Aircraft Induced Divorce Syndrome) then you will KNOW what 'Expensive is! I just bribed my partner this week, I said I was going to purchase the T7 on release, she turned around to me (pregnant too) and said "I thought 'we' weren't going to spend on unnecessary items to save money for our 2nd child" (our 1st is already expensive enough) to which I replied "Yes, but your birthday is on final approach (had to get it in!) and as a treat, I'm paying for your haircut, so we both get what we want!"

I watched approx 1:20 of the video, and for what I saw, the aircraft looks absolutely amazing, PMDG cannot get enough praise for the products their turning out at the moment. And for what I did see of Pete's video, whether or not everything was done correctly or not, I couldn't care, the fact he live streamed the video is remarkable, and and took the time to do it even with his (son?) Lurking in the backround at the beginning, Well done. Looking forward to the release now, even more so since the videos have been popping up on youtube etc..... If the T7 is amazing now, what will the b744 v2 be like??

The problem with programming an EFB on this aircraft for Jeppview will probably cause a delay in release (guessing month or two) and, like what has been said before, the majority of PMDG owners do not subscribe to Jeppesen There for there's no real requirement to program such a feature into these aircraft. I for one do not subscribe to Jeppesen, and have no intention too due to cost (that probably applies to the majority of PMDG customers) and, should PMDG change their mind and go into programming this feature, they will loose a massive customer base who have been waiting years for this product to be completed, and I would be one of those! I hate to say it, subscribed users of Jeppesen are a minority! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2 And no one does anything for the minority! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

I've just gone and added my order details to my signature, in a similar fashion to FTX Orbx Forum rules. (with the exception of what the order contained!)

DC6? I must have missed something here, PMDG have a DC6? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

You ARE in the PMDG forum pages! And what it sounds like you have done is obtained a pirated copy of this aircraft and are trying to get someone to fix it for you. Unfortunately, the developers and other licenced users are not willing to help people who obtain illegal copies of their software, and rightly so. If your product is a genuinely legal copy, then I apologise for the comments above, and all I could suggest a full reinstall! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Good evening chaps, I've been doing some pondering on what I will do with the up and coming PMDG T7 is finally released, and thinking back to my previous PMDG purchases, I always think of my first BIG flight (Major milestone in my FS career) taking the B744 for her first proper flight(s), and flew her all the way around the world, stopping first at KPAE. Then it got me thinking, PMDG are currently leading the way with payware aircraft, and I congratulate you on this. Would it be or could it be possible for a B741/B742 model and avionics upgrade be released? I have always loved the 747, and am eagerly waiting on the B744 v2 due out in the near future. We have all seen the update to the 744X by the addition of the visual model of the 8i/ 8F and the big cargo aircraft, could a roll back to the 741 & 742 be possible? (not mentioned the 743, can replicate that with current 744X package!) Despite being an Airbus person, I will always prefer the B744 & B748 over the A380, and with v2 due out in the near future, wouldn't it be cool if we could get the entire 747 fleet, from the 741 and up to the current 748i (plus cargo aircraft) added into the mix. Regards Chris

hmmm, ORBX release FTX Global tail end of last month, now PMDG release the 777 by end of this month............ combination of both equals.......... Great Flight Simming all round!! And one happy person I shall be!!
