Thanks very much Jack, Hopefully others that also have this problem will also submit tickets so PMDG will be able to work out why it's happening, after they fix any higher priority stuff. Looking forward to my internet connection stabilising soon and I can do the same.

Hi Jack, Thanks for the reply. If possible, could you submit a ticket as well. It gives PMDG more information to try to fix it and I'm still having some major connectivity problems at my end. Thanks again.

I'm also seeing exactly the same as you Marinus. Have you submitted a ticket? I'm unable to do so as my internet connection is extremely intermittent.

The spoilers definitely deploy for me. They do seem to deploy fractionally slower than on the 737 or 777 though.

Thanks very much for the quick reply Paul.

Hi Paul, By having disable preload set to "1" (my preferred setting), is it only the preview image that is affected, or does it affect other elements of the 747 simulation in FSX. I haven't purchased the 747 yet but would like to know prior to any purchase. Thanks very much.

Quick question...do the new weather features in SP1D include the ability to populate weather data per enroute waypoint and during the descent in the same way the 777 does? Tim Gyno

Indeed it does Patrick. Pull up the elec synoptic page once you're on the ground after an autoland and see the elec system reconfigure itself to the correct configuration when you turn off both FD. Start up the APU and shut down the engines, it will not interrupt power to the FO side of the aircraft. As I said, you can also perform the same work around by just hitting AP and then AP disconnect. I'm not sure where the problem is but I think it has something to do with the AP and autoland. Tim

I can confirm this action resets the elec system to the correct configuration after an autoland. Additionally, hitting A/P and then A/P disconnect has the same effect. Tim

I can also confirm this how it works for me as well. Tim

Glen, As I have been told on more than one occasion. It's the best thing if you submit a ticket, that way PMDG have more information on which to base a fix. I would encourage you to do so Tim

Have you seen the topic here....Seems it might be the same symptoms. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/448976-fo-cdu-pfd-nd-shuts-off-when-cutting-engines/

In my case they seem to be fine now, I would however appreciate you posting the results of your further enquiry with the PMDG team. Tim

Thanks....I'll be sure to do that.

I also see this behaviour. It would be great if the OP or #sosuflyer could submit a ticket as this may be something related to the aircraft itself rather than a "user" error. Hopefully PMDG will be able to replicate and then fix.
