777 PMDG - taking off with no flight plan, programming after
Hi José Just to check - in that situation did you try perf init? Asking as in my situation of just taking her for a quick hop, that worked for me? Of course I still need to set Rad Navs as you say. Regards

Was Not Prompted To Activate In FSX:SE
Hi, I've intentionally removed FSX as per http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx.aspx Installed FSX:SE Downloaded 777 from my account 1.10.6320 (and the 300 expansion, but not yet installed the 300) Updated as per Ops centre - I understand that update is just for Ops? I was prompted to trust the PMDG modules to which I answered yes, but not to activate. I obviously now cannot fly her. Any ideas please? Thanks

[08JAN15] Updated P3D Development Information
As my post was and another post by someone answering me was (I presume) deleted - with my question unanswered (or if I've missed the information, not fully understood by me) - I'll hopefully wait for the information to appear at some stage? Yes... that seems to be a nice way to treat loyal customers. Appreciate the information from PMDG, but perhaps this thread should have been locked from the start so that people don't mention the elephant in the room. (name is signed below too)

New pilot, NGX
Hi Flew this a lot around Europe in the 1-2 years after release. Not touched it for a while as I've been busy with 'heavies'. Installed a few days before Christmas..... main aim to hear the sounds when the engines start Did a quick test last night around Corfu and will defo be flying some routes this year in her.

B77W flight EGLL-SBGL today, with re-dispatch
How silly do I feel? I looked all over the post to see if you'd mentioned the aircraft type - maybe I should have re-read the title

B77W flight EGLL-SBGL today, with re-dispatch
Nice insight to your flight Richard... Sounds like one of those days where everything comes together. Re-dispatch is something I still need to study. Was this the LR or ER? Hope you're well. Carl

"You've come a LONG way, Baby!" 77W Tampa Dreaming
It took me a while to see it - initially I was content with the 200ER's appearance, but now yes, I fully agree. Just something about the length and overall appearance that's difficult (for me) to put into words. Nice pics!

simHeaven download problems
Same here - I tried to download Rhodes last night and earlier this evening, getting the same/similar error as you. I thought I'd try again so that I could share the error code and of course..... it's downloading. First download of yours? I think you'll be back :wink:

I've Changed A Few Things....

I've Changed A Few Things....
blocks_off replied to blocks_off's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcThanks both..... Going with the Obsidian 550D case now as the 450D has some supply issues! Got a 550D on order for not much more than the 450D.

I've Changed A Few Things....
Hi All, Original proposal was here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/438774-future-build/#entry2964846 I've now gone for the i7 so the components are Obsidian 450D Case Corsair 700W Bronze ASUS Z87A i7 4770K Air cooled by a Noctua NH D-14 Zotac 4GB GTX 770 Comments I've gone for extra RAM on the GPU to hopefully give me some power for none FSX flightsim apps.... Prepar3d assuming they offload more to GPU as it matures and x-plane as it can use more of the GPU. Whilst I don't yet own Prepar3d, I'll be keeping an eye on it seeing what tubneliners get released for it. Air cooler of that nature as I'll maybe run stock initially then overclock. Main Question The RAM - Looking at the 16GB kit of GSkill which I have checked is on the QVL so hopefully will suit the above and esp. the eventual goal to overclock? Chosen a moderately high frequency but also lower timings. F3-14900CL9Q-16GBZL(XMP) 16GB ( 4x 4GB ) DS - - 9-10-9-28 1.5 Any thoughts on this please? Thanks

blocks_off replied to blocks_off's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcHi Martin, Not able to find this cooler in the UK. Do you have a link please (as you mention £s)? This bundle also lets me choose Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced. Thanks

Getting into X-Plane 10
Yep - as above. Both Why not? I'm in between computers at the moment but fair to say the decider of what sim is the aircraft. These are fantastic times for aircraft choice - embrace them. When I get installed again, My first few months I expect to fly FSX for the 777 Then for some good old stick and rudder the FF 757 in x-plane to maybe relive some good old holiday routes. And one more thought the 737 by IXEG when released. And another season of holiday routes in the PMDG 737 NGX with SP2 when released (it's fantastic as is btw and my only reason for not flying is I've done over a 100 flights in her....) Don't worry - just do it! Hope this helps

Future Build
Hi All, Just before I go ahead and purchase, can I run it past someone please? I am based in the UK so this type of deal may sound familiar. Intel i5 4670K 6MB overclocked to 4.2ghz Corsair H80 hydro with single SPL120L fan Asus Z87K 2 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133Mhz 2GB EVGA 770 If this sounds ok so far, could I ask for a further comment on the PSU 550W Corsair RM modular silent 80plus gold (there is the cheaper 600W bronze but if i'm hoping to go with the lowest power but best quality psu that i need) finally .... need a case recommendation please. i'll have no more than 3 hard drives (absolute maximum) and 1 ssd. Just to add - planning to use for FSX for the 777 737 with very few add ons. ASN maybe FTX global at some point. X-plane with the iexg 737 when released. maybe the 757 too.... Thanks editted to add simulators.

01APR14 - Quick PMDG 777 SP1 Update
Got it - however this 'joke' is not consistent with the stance normally taken towards the innocent 'newbies' who come to the forum asking about the WX radar feature.

Something I found this morning
I kind of have the option to clean the cabin as I sometimes hear the hover when trying to prep. Unfortunately it's accompanied by the "you're simming, again?" look :-)

AeroLogic - Complete Fleet
Hi Christian, I think you're the painter who did the Norwegian fleet (NGX)? That fleet alone made me hunt out some very different routes that, up til then, I'd been used to..... A similar experience with the 777 - assuming you have plans for the 77W? - would be fantastic and your efforts would be appreciated! Thanks
