Well, i have a high end pc (4.8 GHZ I7700K, GTX1070 OC etc.) and every scenery works fine for me. But KMIA v5 has not a good performance on my system! I tried everything (disable static aircraft etc.) but my system is not able to handle this scenery... hmm.

On the Lufthansa one from the operations center at which there are no chnages, PBR works fine due to main model having the necessary textures.  I beleive Robert will share some more info when we are close to the PBR patch release. As far as I know there will be no need for any new paintkit (Based on my current knowledge and discussions)

Thanks, Chris!

Depends on how much "bare" metal exist on your repaints. In most cases you would not need to make any changes or minor changes will be needed.

Okay, thank you. For example: There is no need to do changes with Lufthansa liveries, right? There is noch bare metal, actually 😉  

Will it be possible to use my own repaints with PBR "out of the box", or do i have to create them again? I red that there will be a new paintkit.

Of course... 

Soon™ 

Really??? There isn´t even an anouncement that an update for the 777 is planned yet. 

Will we get an update for the 777 soon? (EFB etc.)

Hello Captains. 

At the simulation settings page (fmc) we can enable or disable the "HI IDLE ON FLARE" option. I red the manual but i still don´t undrestand what this option is good for. Should i enable this option for getting the most realistic flying experience? 

Hello! 

While i´m working on a new repaint for my 747-8I i saw that there is no weather and dirt layer for the engines (pmdg_747X_engines.psd). Is there a chance of an update for the Paintkit?

Yeah. This is discussed in the Intro a bit, but pay attention to the positioning (and numbering) of the RES tanks on the FUEL display.

So, for TANK/ENG:

(MAIN1 + RES1) >= MAIN 2 // (MAIN4 + RES4) >= MAIN 3

Shown here at 35:55 (moron who made it didn't adjust the audio, though, so it's a bit hard to hear):

 

Thanks Kyle...this point should be included into the -8 Introdution/ FCOM i guess!  

Is it possible that the tank/ engine system is a bit different in a 747-8? I´m getting the FUEL/TANK ENGINE message in a -8 when main tank 1 and 4 contains about 16,000 Kg and main 2 and 3 contains about 20.000kg. So the quantity of tank 1 is equal to 4 and 2 is equal to 3. I thought that all 4 main tanks should contain nearly the same amount of fuel after the "FUEL/TANK ENG" message.

I found a description in the FCOM relatively fast, take a look at  Air Conditioning Packs system description starting on 2.20.1.

The supplementary procedures for air systems mention at least one case where high flow would be used on pg SP 2.2.

 

Oh man, sorry! I overread that... shame on me^^. What could be the benefit of choosing the "pack flow econ mode" for an airline?

Hello Pilots! I´ve two questions so far: 

1. At the Equipment option page (FMC) there is an opton for enable the "Pack Flow Econ Mode". I found no description in the manuals about what this system does when enable this function.  Do you have an explantation? 

2. When do i activate "HI Flow" for the air-packs?

All that you have the issue. Check your engine N1. If your engine N1 is not in idle the reversers will not deploy. Also please not of all you complaining about the issue only one opened a ticket and we were able to reproduce. If no ticket is opened that we do not know to check..

 

For now make sure your N1 is in idle and will look at it for the next round of 777 update

Nice! There are some 777 updates in pipeline? 😉

yes of course it will sink by itself... the problem is that you don't have enough runway for that. of course, the higher the brakes are set the faster the nose will come down, but if you land at low to medium autobrake settings, the nose will remain up for quite a long time. If you then even try to keep it up to settle it down gently it will finally "slam" onto the ground. Instead you indeed have to fly a 777 nosewheel onto the runway with a slight forward push on the yoke just after main wheels touch down. Klingt komisch, is aber so. 😃

Edit: Of course this doesn't mean that the nose shall be PUSHED down, so don't push the yoke forward far beyond the neutral position... but it will require a noticeable release on the back pressure of the yoke to literally fly the nose down.

Yes, but i released the back pressure of the yoke right after touchdown... i mean this wasn´t my first landing with a T7 ;)! Well, i really think that PMDG should give us a little update. Like i said: The Autothrottle reaction is a little bit too slow, especially when landing during windy conditions. Some folks are disengage the AT right after they disengaged the AP, but this is not a common procedure in a T7. Always AT engaged and Vref+5! 

PS: Da scheint tatsächlich etwas nicht zu stimmen! 😉

That's relatively normal. Of course I don't see your airplane's behaviour but in a 777 (and 787 too btw) you have to fly the nose down onto the runway after main wheels touchdown. Sure, this refusal to slow down that was talked about shouldn't be there, but I don't see it either. However I see a very "happy-to-fly" nose but again that's pretty much how a 777 flies. 

Well, i don´t think that pushing the yoke forward to get the nose down after touchdown is a common procedure. The nose should sink by itself.

Why are you holding the nose up in the air?  I just landed a B77L at KATL in pleasant conditions and the landing was nominal.

The nose stayed in the air by itself. I saw the same effect like the topic starter. His YouTube Video shows exactly what i discovered.  

Okay, i discovered the same "issue" a couple of minutes ago (P3Dv4.4). Just touched down at KEWR, weather was gusty (AS) and the nose gear stayed in the air and no reverse thrust kicked in. I´ve never saw this issue before and i´m really trained in landing the T7. The Autothrottle reaction is a little bit too slow, too. I think PMDG should give us an update for the T7.

What airplane?  Manual or auto landing?

Do i leave the autothrottle enganged during a manual landing with a 747-8? I saw lots of videos where simmers leave AT on when AP was off. The question is if i can leave the autothrottle enganged during a manual landing, like i normally do with a T7?!

Is it common to leave autothrottle on during the whole landing?

Although I have been a relatively happy user of the NMG FACT scenery, times have moved on.

I am now looking to switch to the better FSDG FACT scenery😏

I bought this scenery and it´s really stunning! Finally a good south african scenery

FSDG released FACT finally a couple of days ago. This destination is stunning!

essary in the entire PMDG 747 product line to take the steps to activate the ACARS data link in order to receive these services.
Activating the data-link is simple and can be accomplished in two easy steps:

• Complete the ORIGIN, DEST and flight number fields on the RTE page of the FMS as you normally would during the course of preflight. It isn’t necessary to use an actual airline carrier code or flight number if you are operating outside of PMDG Global Flight Operations, so feel free to make one up as you like.

Nice functions! But what happens when i´m entering the "wrong" ETD UTC for my ACARS login etc.? It doesn´t matter, right?

No, he disengage it. The A/T switch if you revering to that is never put in the OFF posistion unless there is an abnormal situation

Okay,  but is it possible to leave the autothrottle engaged during the whole landing? 

Did he left the Autothrottle enganged during the whole landing? 

I´m a fsx user, too. Are the frames the same as with the PMDG T7?
