    Hi guys,

     

    I have been doing my own tests here. I too use the Amazon S3 storage to store files. Downloading the PSX 777 Base Package today I was getting 16Kb/s; using a download accelerator I was getting 374Kb/s. Now with a 500Mb file on my AWS account (located in Ireland, I live in the UK) I was getting 3Mb/s, and with a download accelerator 7Mb/s. I use the Amazon cloud functionality so it appears on multiple servers around the globe. But it appears PMDG only use a server based in the US (from what I can see). They do not use the Amazon cloud functionality. If they do something is going wrong somewhere for the guys across the pond!

     

    Regards

    Hello,

     

    I have just installed PMDG 777-200/300 for P3D V3, all the systems seems to be working fine... however the landing lights do not illuminate the ground. They do in other aircraft such as the Aerosoft Airbus packages. I also have the option in P3D 'Landing-lights illuminate ground' ticked.

     

    Any ideas what the problem might be?

     

    Kind Regards

    Thank you 777simmer  for the informative answer. How long does it take for APU to run ?I ask this because after I had programmed my fmc I then switched on APU and did all my checks contact tower etc etc almost ready for pushback say a good 5 10 min shouldn't that be sufficient  time for APU to run?

     

    It should only take 1-2 mins at the most to start the APU, its not as instant as starting a car engine ;)

    I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not so I shall post any way!

     

    Every time I start up the aircraft I now get 'NAV DATA OUT OF DATE' on the FMC. But the current AIRAC is 1313, isnt it?

     

    Btw, my date format shown is the UK style 'dd/mm/yyyy' not the US style 'mm/dd/yyyy'

    I performed an RTO, which caused the brakes to overheat and deflate. But upon using the FMC to fix the failures, it didn't work...

     

     

     

    So I went to Menu -> PMDG Setup -> Aircraft -> Failures -> Active: 14

     

    LSK R6 (CLEAR ALL) -> Exec

     

    The brake pressure gets reset to 200, but the brake temp is never fixed, so the brake pressure plummets down to 0 again.

     

    Something I am doing wrong, or a bug?

     

    Regards

    Please read the intro manual - there's a lot of valuable information in there that you're missing.

     

    To answer your question, though, click on the screen of the CDU while in the VC and it will pop up.  Clicking on the screen of the 2D CDU will close it.

     

    I thought it would be kind of obvious to do that any way!
