IFR7700

PMDG does not publish release times.

This makes you my new best friend.

I must admit, I enjoy working through tutorials. I get a lot of information from YouTube, Angle of Attack, and other educational venues, but nothing ties all this knowledge together better than a well written tutorial. Step by step with information and options on a written page ... yeah, that's the ticket. Ryan has written some wonderful tutorials for PMDG, especially on the 737 NGX and the 777. His tutorial #2 on the NGX is a masterpiece. I have worked these tutorials so often, I can almost do them without reference, ALMOST. It's a very time consuming and difficult effort to produce a good tutorial, I'm sure. So I had an idea. Wouldn't it be great for some of the very knowlegeable and willing participants of this forum to generate their own tutorials, publish them on AVSIM in a collected location and open them to scrutiny and conversation. Let's take some of the pressure off Ryan, and let him finish #2 on the 777. These tutorials wouldn't have to broad cold and dark to shutdown tutorials (although they certainly could be), but could concentrate on a particular aspect of 777 operations, such as fueling, flight planning, in flight operations, emergency procedures, etc. We could even have contests, voted on by members, for best tutorials in certain categories. The possiblities are endless. A lot of the AVSIM members, like me, are retired and have some spare time to contribute. What do you think?

Roll Tide to that !!

No download link available for me, as well. I'm logged into my account, I can pull up the order, but there is no download link. Please advise.

Alex, your post is why I am so interested in this subject. I noticed you switched from DX9 (default). DX10 makes all the difference to me. No dis to you intended at all. There may be such a comparison already, I just haven't come across it yet.

Stunning ... thanks HL

Until I see a thoughtful, unbiased comparison. from a user who knows what they are doing. who has run DX10 and FSX, and P3D, I'll stay with my FSX (DX10). I've never been happier with a simulator and mine looks damn good at the present time. I bought FSX SE because it was on sale for $5, but it is sitting in a corner, probably never to be used. I'm still not happy with the P3D EULA, I feel like I'm being manipulated. I don't like that. If Steve had not developed the DX10 "fixer", perhaps I would have a different mindset. Thanks again, Steve.

This is why Obama is spending money like the end is near. The end IS near. Aliens, meteors, the Borg, whatever ... he became president and learned the truth. Enjoy every day we have left to the fullest.

I thought it might be a problem with NAVDATA updates. My FlightSim Commander (updated last month) still has TESGA in it's NAVDATA file. I need to redo the tutorial just for proficiency, so I'll report back when I get to that stage. I'll update NAVDATA to the current iteration before I begin. It may be a few days. This section of the tutorial just shows you how to cut a corner ... pretty simple.

I remember doing much better on my school reports when I led off with a funny anecdote or joke, preferably one related to the subject at hand. You might try one that starts out ... "Robert Randazzo and Tom Allensworth walk into a bar ..."

Dmitri You have my permission to use any of my quotes in your report. That is, of course, unless the quotes demonstrate a lack of technical knowledge, poor piloting skills, lack of social graces, or naivete. Slim pickings after that. Good luck.

Glad you are enjoying your new machine. It certainly is a much better experience when everything works well.

A few FSX SE questions. Can you purchase FSX SE but not download it right away? Can you download it, install it, uninstall it, reinstall it without paying additional? Do you get all additional updates for free? Thanks
