AirCanada235

I am VERY familiar with the 331's after spending a few years flying them strapped to both a Metro and a Cessna Conquest II. We shall shee..... I highly doubt these guys got it all right - given that I am still awaiting updates for both my citation - Hawker and King Air 350. You'd think I'd learn -

Kyle- I love you. In fact it could be classified as a man crush now!!! Yours posts are always so articulate and timely!! Thanks

Dan, If you look at his post - you'd see hat he referenced it!! I think he was looking for an update (like the rest of us). You have to realize that your product is like crack (not that I've ever tried) because once you have some (777-737) you want more

I do love that all of the flight testing seems to be taking place in CYVR - at least in these photos!! Looking great guys

Who knows.... Trying to get information from PMDG is as tough as getting updates from PMDG - lol!!!

My bad. How shall I proved?

All, Please PM me if you would be interested in being paid for a custom paint job on the NGX. Previous experience required. Serious inquires only. Thank

Good work

Morning, On a recent flight from CYVR to KORD in the NGX, I was panning around the VC from the forward position to the port wing from the Captains seat. It seemed as if the shadows were not displaying correctly and that the VC shadow was blocking out the shadows of the clouds on the ground. Anyone else see this or did someone put something in my water? DR

That guy has a habit of making comments like that. Just ignore him. He's grumpy

Sent you a pm

The support guy said by was a licensing issue so to check I installed the NGX with no issue. Then installed the 200LR. No issue. Installed the 300 with a freshly downloaded installer and the issue remains. Support ticket is still open with no reply for 3 days. Any thoughts?

I too am having this issue and I have just tried Kyles fix - opened a support ticket as mine is asking me to activate each time. Reporting back - Kyle's fix did not work. I also have the yoke to the left and full throttles and am not able to click on anything in the cockpit. I started a support ticket.

I just did the same thing with no issues to report. Exact same situation as you are/ were in....super nervous.

Sorry you felt that was condescending Kevin. Wasn't the intent. Valid point you raise. One really isn't sure the level of experience of the poster so sorry again. We have such a mix of ages in here one never knows

Kevin, with all due respect, lets break this down logically? Why would the auto relight fail? We would need to be missing any of the following or a combination of them - air, fuel, spark. The most common reason that an engine would not relight would be air. Air can do a few things to a jet engine at high altitudes which I will explain. The most obvious and one that Kyle has pointed out to you is the lack of oxygen up in the wild blue yonder. Secondly, air; in this case speed, can hamper your attempts to do a "windmill" restart if you do not have supplementary air (APU) available. Thirdly - core lock. Core lock is a situation in which an engine is shut down for too long a period and the internal components actually shrink because the air is not circulating thought the engine correctly. The end result is bad and it seizes the engine - locking its core so it will not turn - hence the term core lock. This is not something I am making up and I do believe that I read in an NTSB report that this was a cause of a crash in the US - I believe on an RJ? I do wonder if the condition you are experiencing (or lack there of) is actually a cross bleed start that is relighting your engines. When the N2 drops below idle RPM while airborne. The next time you do this shutdown, see if you get the secondary engine indications and a crossbleed start indication. Were you aware that auto-relight actually provides flameout protection by turning on both engines ignitors? Another point that I would like to point out is that we are talking about a desktop simulation and a Level D full motion simulator. HUGE difference - TRUST ME. The desktop simulator is just that - a great representation of a 777 or 737 (or whatever) with some very accurate modeling of systems and functions contained within built to give you a sense of what it is like to fly a 777. This is not a multi million dollar piece of training equipment that you are going to be able to throw every failure known to man at. While I have never sat at the console and controlled the simulator (Level D), I can tell you that being on the receiving end of some of he failures I have had thrown at me is not fun (that's a lie, it is fun - just not at that moment). Kevin, I will close by offering a suggestion to you sir. Rather that spin up two posts in two separate PMDG product forums, perhaps submit a support ticked and mark it as a feature request. The people at PMDG are good people and respond kindly to these things. There really is no need to spin up two topics in two forums now is there? DR

Let me shed some light on this for you as you are not listening to what Kyle has said... 1) ENGINE V1/VR/V2 CUT --> There are very few reasons for an engine cut in this low energy regime - most commonly bird ingestion - which would normally result in engine damage) 2) SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE --> See my comments above!! 3) ENGINE FLAMEOUT --> the engine relights by itself almost instantaneously and everything gets back as if no failure had occurred. This is the expected behavior. This is a VERY automated aircraft as in the NGX. The system will attempt to relight the engine if it can. As Kyle has suggested, take the aircraft up to the high flight levels (but before doing so, check that your realism settings are where they are supposed to be) and then shut down an engine - watch what happens and what the EICAS tells you.

I shot some circuits there in the 737NGX and then the 777 in P3D v2.4 with the base install of CYYZ from FlyTampa with no issues. I am using FT CYYZ, ASN, FTX Global and Vector and REX Textures 4.0 No AI Traffic

We have a handy little feature in the forum called search.

How do you like the AivlaSoft EFB?

Thanks everyone for your responses. MUCH appreciated - honestly. That's what's great about this hobby - so much involvement DR Sent you a direct message on this - thanks.

Hearing an SR-71 start is truly something crazy!! If you go to you tube - you can reference what Kyle is speaking on.

Morning all, Just wondering if anyone has used Jetline Systems to built them a flight sim PC before. Was looking for positive / negative feedback and how the rig is running. Spoke to them on the phone and it seemed legit and I like the fact they break in the PC for you and tweak it but curious about your experiences. Please DM me with your feedback. Thanks in advance and fly safe. DR

I am sure that this model is programmed for a 32 bit application - much like the software its running on (P3D). As such, the 777 would need to be written (on converted - not sure how all that works) to run on a 64 bit software program. Disclaimer -- I am not propeller head when it comes to this stuff so take that for what you will. Seems logical to me. DR

So i have made the jump to P3d over the weekend with mixed results. I have a fairly decent machine to run FSX and P3D on but yet I find the results from P3d less that optimal. I have dual quad core Xeon 3.2Ghz processors, 32 GB ram, wicked hard drives and a 3GB AMD 7900 video card. Sitting in FSDT CYVR in the 777 VC, I get 12 FPS, exterior view looking at the terminal I am pulling about 28 FPS. I have tried a myriad of different combinations to increase my frame rates to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome My VAS usage doesn't seem to be the issue - more around frame rates. Any thoughts?
