The new Qualitywings 787. Gus White UAL1063

Thanks guys, I had to reinstall MCE and had forgotten about the app. Gus Where

My MCE does not change any numbers, flaps, gear, etc ... nothing physical works. Any ideas? I have reloaded MCE several times - currently have 2.5.72. Voice works - co-pilot talks to me and responds to my commands, but he doesn't physically do anything. This applies to all aircraft. Help! Gus White UAL1063

A few weeks ago I was waiting for a flight at SEATAC to DFW, hoping I could catch an earlier flight than I booked. I saw a man in an AA airlines uniform at the desk, so I went to inquire. He informed me that he was a pilot and didn't know anything about schedules, but he could answer any questions I had about flying. Now, honestly, at this point what is a flight-simmer going to do? I asked, "Are you flying the 738 at the gate." He said yes. I said, "I think I can fly your plane." He looked at me and asked, "Oh, are you retired from Boeing?" Ouch! He noticed the gray hair. Well, I had to be honest so I told him about my long-term interest in MS Flight Simulation, and about my recent experience with the new PMDG T7 and how accurately modeled the aircraft is. I said, "Truthfully, I think I could climb in a real T7 and crank it up." He looked at me, smiled and said, "Well, it is the easiest aircraft in the fleet to start ... you know, almost one button start." Ouch again! All I could do at this point was to say, "Have a nice flight, captain.", and walk away. As I turned I heard him say, "All I wanted to do was find a quiet place with a company computer, but that didn't work out so well, did it?" Sorry, captain. I think this is known as "Getting put in your place." :blush: Gus White UAL1063

Matt, If this problem has been solved, could you share the solution with me? I have the very same problem. Thanks, Gus White UAL1169

I've been a simmer since the beginning and have flown all the birds (1477 hours with UVAL). I now mostly fly the LVLD 767, PMDG747, and QW757 (I'll be flying the 737NGX when I get home next week ). Last summer my son arranged for me to have 3 hours in a 757 full simulator at the United Airlines simulator facility in Denver (great experience!!). We did takeoffs, touch and go's (some ILS, some visual), and full stop landings at SFO. The instructor was impressed with my level of familiarity with flight dynamics, controls, and instruments. I flew for 3 hours without incident ... smooth landings. BUT I suspect flying a real bird full of people would be terrifying and mentally disabling. Ian is correct in suggesting the first thing to do is make sure the aircraft is stable, then call for a training captain and let him fly the plane through you - it would be arrogant and dangerous to do otherwise. In that critical situation I would want a pro telling me what to do next so nothing was omitted. We all believe we could land the plane, but hopefully common sense would tell us we need a major dose of help to do so.

OK, must have been pilot error. I ran through the procedures without any problems. I just need to be careful of what I say when I'm ready for takeoff. I'm sure the FO is bothering me and I tell him "Stop!"

You are correct ... the log shows "stop" immediately after "runway entry procedure". I have no clue where that is coming from. To my knowledge I am not saying anything or pushing any buttons until "takeoff". I'll try again.

OK, FO set autobrakes to RTO (should they stay there for T/O? I noticed the FO turns them to Off later in Initial Climb). After Runway Entry Proceedure, the Mode went to Takeoff, but then immediately jumped to Reject T/O. I could not scroll backward through the modes, but I scrolled forward through all the modes until it return to Takeoff, then everything worked except the cabin announcements which had jumped to the landing announcement.

The FO usually does that at +25 in the Pre-flight. I'll give a run-through to check if it is missing that proceedure, or if I manually changed the setting.

After I run through the Runway Entry Proceedure and position on the runway, the Mode turns to Rejected T/O in red. What am I missing?Thanks

If your gauges do not display the numbers, install these fonts: Baloo and IRIS Everytyhing is working on my PSS 777 in FSX, but I cannot control the pitch and yaw, nor does the auto throttle work. If I can solve those two problems, I will be flying again in the PSS 777. The altitude hold works, but the aircraft rises and falls 1000 fett over and over again.
