I don't like your 'running' engine blades Jason, I am sorry mate. I think they spin 'too slow' and are too light grey..

I completely agree- they have no relation (for lack of a better word) whatsoever with the color of the fan cone. Look at this picture for instance: http://www.flightglo...07/777200LR.jpg

Yes, it is lighter than the cone, but still has some relation in color to the cone and is a lot darker than what is shown in the PMDG screens. Granted, these are still development pics and the colors could be tweaked, or just have not been tweaked yet. I still want to throw the thought in there just in case.

:yahoo: WooHoo!!

That's partially correct, except that it probably wouldn't be the cycle differences. I know in particular that there are some issues with how FSCommander makes some of the flightplans. We've had a few people that use it solely to plan flights and they were having tons of issues like this.

Try clearing all your PMDG flightplans out. (or move them to a different folder)

The bank limiter only applies in HDG or VOR/LOC modes. It does not apply in LNAV as mentioned above.

Do you have the latest service pack installed? I brought this to PMDG's attention during SP1b and I'm pretty sure they fixed it with SP1c.

But won't active sky override that?

Nope.

Realism aside, remember that PMDG did not model icing effects (like flight dynamic changes or visible ice layers) because of the way FSX does them. So technically, you never need to use Anti-Ice, but it's still nice to use the procedures anyway.

my post has gone, was there a specific reason it was deleted??

it was the Lego T7 engine post.if it was in the wrong forum was it moved?

Hi Nick,

 

I thought the posting is refering to the 737NG or any IFR rated aircraft not Cessna's and other light VFR aircraft. In the quote you have shown, and in the NG what would you do in cloud at -25 or +5 just out of interest.

That brochure quote was referenced because it applies to all aircraft, not just small puddle jumpers. In your scenario, I would have anti-ice on as a precaution because those are conditions where icing is most likely (<+10 Celsius and visible moisture) . A wing/engine is a wing/engine- whether large or small and can be affected by ice in the same ways. Better safe than sorry.

I agree with the gist of what you are saying, but just curious where did the " but you can summerise it to only required between -10 and +10 below 10k with visible moisture present. It increases idle and reduces available power " come from?

I'm not quite sure where the confusion is- he's stating a good rule of thumb for anti-ice usage. For example, here's a quote from a nice AOPA icing brochure:

Icing is most likely to occur when:

• The outside air temperature (OAT) is between 0ºC

and -20ºC, but the worst icing will usually occur

between 0ºC and -10ºC.

• If the temperature dew point spread is fewer than

2ºC and the temperatures are between 0ºC and

-20ºC be especially vigilant for ice.

• The worst icing is common in the top 1,000 feet of

cumulus clouds when the temperature is 0ºC or

lower.

And the visible moisture is a given with a dewpoint spread of less than 2ºC.

Hey Nick,

 

Yes I un-installed all the liveries actually and re-installed thinking there might have been some issue but it seems to still be happening, it's very odd.

Ok, try this-

Uninstall the liveries, then go into the FS root-> PMDG-> 737NGX-> Aircraft (I think) and delete the text files that have tail numbers on them. Then install them again.

Try hitting N1 during vnav climb. I've noticed that the A/T will be in "arm" mode during climb...

This is an incorrect action and should not happen- ARM annunciates in VNAV descent, not climb. N1 should be automatically commanded on by VNAV during the climb- you shouldn't have to do it.

Just finished a group flight with some fellow FDX pilots from PANC Anchorage to PAOM Nome. Had pretty cool landings seeing how you had to back-taxi in time for the person behind you.

Oh, and in the FedEx livery... Of course!

Have you tried pulling all the non-default liveries out and re-installing them?

Guys, you cannot see the pictures because AVSIM prunes attachments after a period of time. These have been pruned (the topic is pretty old)...

Never had to quote my own post before, but here it is for those that didn't read the replies about this.

Any comment by the developers on this topic? I did all possible settings but I always get a delay, as soon as I touch down, in thrust moving from flight to ground idle and thus in reverse activation. I usually happen to get the amber REV about 7-10 seconds after I activate the reverse (by that time the airplane has eaten a lot of runway...). The FSUIPC setting of "Throttle Cut" when the button is released doesn't work, because throttle cut means that if I release the button the reverse stows, the throttles go back to ground idle and the reverse thrust is not maintained. One could say "don't release the button", but if I don't release it, the reverse thrust goes to full, thing that is absolutely not realistic because in the real airplane the reverse is actuated until the detent, that is about 40-45%, not to full power...

Have you tried the settings in the picture that I referenced above?

FYI: Picture link on above post still doesn't open.

Wow, you can read well. <_<

Yep, totally understand. PMDG should respond to you soon in the ticket and hopefully get you sorted.

I sure would like to know what is causing these font anamolies.

Is there a reason you want to avoid re-install? I mean, serviced based hours can be backed up and liveries re downloaded. It really would be the best way and probably the cure-all.

Sooo, have you tried to re-install it?

What have you installed recently? Maybe something is messing with things.

Manuel,

What I have to do is pause the playback right after you start it and arm the spoilers. Instead of manually retracting the spoilers when I originally do the recording, I use a quick burst of throttle to do so. Those two things, in combination, work perfect with FSRecorder.

Use FSRecorder- the default FSX playback is awful with complex aircraft.
