Wow. that did it. Thanks Bob Savo. Great job on the 777.

I bought the 777 today for P3D, I installed ok but I got a label as stating PMDG Debug title. Warning: the PMDG product was unable to create its work files. Please make sure that you are running Flight Sim X as administrator. Im using P3d v.2.4not FSX After clicking Ok it runs fine . But on exiting P3D it crashes P3D. Bob S

I tried to get UT2 to work with Migration Tool but no go with Win .8.1 in P3Dv.2 but WOAI works fine. If you don't have a Migration tool and still have a copy of FSX on your computer just download into FSX as normal then copy and paste the aircraft from the sim objects aircraft folder and also copy and paste the files from scenery\world\scenery section called Traffic_000_WOA etc. are start P3D and there is your aircraft. The down side is if you want to add extra airlines later just make sure you have a copy in FSX so you don't remove your other airlines by mistake when you replace the files.

Thank you Ken , I adjusted the Global texture slider and all is well. Bob Savo

I just down loaded the 737ngx, i noticed that the over head panel is blurry the lighted switches are fine.the VC is fine also.Do i need to down load any fix or is it an adjustment thing in FSX. I attached a pict of the over head panel. Bob Savo

Good news! I got the pumps to work normally, so I was able to unfeather the props. the only change that I did was not to hook up to the external power supply. I put the throttle in fullreverse as I did before, hit the unfeather switch and it acted as it should. the props rotated in about 5 seconds. WoW! Then I added the external power supply and the props stayed in there properposition. Before the first thing I would do was connent to the external power supply do a run through , then set the props, or try to set the props anyway. Got my flight in and all went well. Thanks for the support. Happy Flying Guys. Bob Savo

Hi Guys, i'm back for more punishment. What I mean is this is a FSX world with different computers and different set ups. So what is standard operational procedure for mostdoes not work for everyone. No surprise right. Anyway, I have tried to play around with different set ups. Saving flights with the cockpit cold and dark, shutting down with the prop in feather lock. Etc.The bottom line is this plane just wont start without the prop feathered. Period. My plane does not feather at the same rate about 6 to 10 seconds as the videos show. Mine feather sometimes,one left side might feather and the right wont. I might have to hit the unfeather switch five or six times and hope it works. For me a flight at this point is. Quick captain,hit the fuel pumps on number 1 the prop is feathered. We will worry about everything else later. Or shut down 1 engine, two wont feather, abort startup on two. So this is my problem.. I need a way to feather that may not be normal procedure. I can get the plane started once in a awhile. But no consistency. Any thoughts on this one would be great. I love that PMDG went to all this work to try to make a realistic plane. It looks great. I would love to follow procedurebut that isnt happening. Is there a way, a short cut for feathering or something like that? Bob Savo

I have found that on shut down its all about the feathering. One prop is feathered on is not. One wont feather the other will . So on shut down. after the rpm slows a little I put the prop in reverse and that is supposeto lock the props in feathered mode. Its been working for now except if i spend to much time setting up for flight say 10 or 15 mns the left prop will start to un feather. So I get into this problem keeping the props feathered. If someone has a better way on procedure for me, I,m all ears. I do enjoy the aircraft, its must be a windows 64 bit FSX thing to get all these things . Sorry,,, Bob Savo

Can you use the spoilers to slow the aircraft, because it looks like it is a take off and landing function only. Also what do the Gust Lock do? Thank you Bob Savo. Sorry I'm new to turbo props.

I got it to a cold and dark cockpit, but I now have white haze over the cockpit in four large boxes. when panning some boxes appear and some disappear. Does anyone else have this problem? I use Win 7 64 bit. If i had to choose between the engine cranking and the bad VC, I have to go with the engines cranking.

Thanks, I'll try it. . Bob Savo

I am new to turbo props. Most of the other aircraft can be programed for a cold and dark cockpit. My cockpit on starting flight sim X has both engines turning over but no ignition takes place because the fuel pumps are off. the batteries are on and the generator are on. The props are not feathered and there is no APU there at the moment. I shut down as quickly as possibly to keep temps down. Any advice on how to keep the engines from turning over. Thank you Bob Savo

I am new to turbo props, When my aircraft first appears at the airpart my engines are running. So I shut down. I program my flight, check all gauges, the eletric supply is above 24 volts, Im ready for my start up. I turn on the pressure pump the left switch is feathered. generators and batterys are on. I left click to start engine 1 it cranks for about 2mins. then shuts down . No start. I can not make a second restart. Im missing something here . Bob Savo
