MD911

So this means that the 747 will come out for X-Plane eventually or is it still to be decided?

Holger, I can't describe how thankful I am for what you've done. I really love PMDG 777 but because of view point movement I don't fly it at all because it bothers me so much. Well done, looking forward to the results!

I second the MD-80, but if they do the 767 or the 75, man that would be really awesome. I guess I'm just getting tired a bit from all the automation the new aircrafts have.

What about the QualityWings? They are making progress with their 787 and the systems are supposed to be modeled pretty accurately. I'm not sure if PMDG is going to try and play some games here who is the strongest. After all, they sated that they do not want to compete with other developers by creating the same type (Level-D for example who is doing their 757 for a decade now). I would much rather see them model another regional or perhaps even something smaller like the Beechcraft that they did. Although, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the 767 :Praying:

Awesome :shok:! Kyle, can I ask for KLM livery preview whenever time permits?

And there has to be at least 1.5 sec between A/P disconnect button presses.

What about visual fuel jettison? I believe Kristian (sorry, forgot the surname and sorry if got the first name wrong too) in the previous thread came up with it.

Under what pressure are those tires pressurized ?

I think it's great idea but I for one would like to spend a few days with it first before flying it online. If it comes out on Wednesday, we can throw the event on Friday or something?

Awesome, I love the video and I love the plane. Although I have one question. At 2:29 in the video after you entered reference airport and then selected ROUTE, the ICAO identifier of the airport (EHAM in this case) is not copied into scratch pad on CDU like it is on a 737. Is this because you've already entered IRS position at this point or the 777 actually doesn't have that option?

To add to the Kyle's answer to the first question: the 'CABIN READY' message disappears automatically after 1 minute.

Sorry but I can't find any state.cfg files in aircraft's folders.

Yeah. NG has VOR option, 777 has TRK option, otherwise it's the same thing (FMS). Makes kinda sense that it's the way the've made it.

I'm reading manuals for the 777 and when I finished with Autopilot section from SmartCockpit I realized that I haven't seen an indication that would show wich autopilot is the master (737 has a green MA light above left or right F/D, depending on which side is the master). Looking at the AFDS schematics made me realize that the 777 has three independent autopilots, all simultaniously activated by EITHER A/P button. Nice feature, all 3 active all the time but that made me thinking. If there is no indication which side is master, then how does the aircraft know which VOR to follow? If I decided that I wanted to fly a certain radial, how do I do that? 737 is simple, just hit VOR/LOC but 777 manuals only mention localizer and the only button there is on MCP is the LOC, without VOR. I then googled it and found on pprune that 747 is not capable of tracking VOR radials, only localizer. Is my assumption right that this thing is the same with 777?

Delaying the product for another 3 months in total Just imagine that everyone would have to deal with not just development but also writing. But then again, I don't know what's worse, having 777 sooner with them torturing us or knowing briefly what's going on and wait for the product longer. If I was them I certainly wouldn't be too much into writing though.
