GSX+777+ramp = pax bus problem
sd_flyer replied to sd_flyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I have tried in numerous airports default and 3rd party and result is the same! -
GSX+777+ramp = pax bus problem
sd_flyer replied to sd_flyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Well, I found on the forum people have the same problem. I uninstalled my GSX and installed again. According to developer it suppose to fix the problem, but it didn't - pax bus doesn't arrive on the ramp. Very frustrating 😞 -
1st CTD after WU17 in PMDG 777
sd_flyer replied to BWBriscoe's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I've made several flights in 777 post WU17 without any problem. I'm guessing it could be scenery or traffic -

I can't tell for 320 but in 777 if you lock cockpit door passenger disappear . As soon as you unlock and open it they are sitting in their seats! -
Did anyone try Charlie pedals at FS Expo?
sd_flyer replied to Drumcode's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I don't have Crosswind, but I tight up my tension all the way up and it almost like light GA. Since I don't have a tiller i suffer the most during airliner taxi LOL -

It remind me of that (below) LOL But on the good side I don't stare at my rudder pedal - my eyes in the cockpit ! -
I'm on 3.0.7 GSX and everything works fine except one thing! if start flight at the ramp/stand, after cargo and crew loaded, passenger bus never arrives! I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong, or perhaps there are settings that I'm missing. In contrast, if start at the gate everything works as expected . Does anyone have any suggestion? Thanks!

How to practice landings with the PMDG T7
sd_flyer replied to FlyData's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Thanks! I don't have 777 FCOM, so I just eye ball it. So far according to Pilot Life Chapter 2 I nail it with in 200 fpm LOL -

After several day using it I actually love it. There is "foot-heel" rest at the base of Charlie that resembles convectional airplane! IRL unless you need a dramatic ruder application you push rudder with toes while heels are resting on the floor! Charlie can teach you keep you heels on the floor during touch down and only lift your feet to apply toe brakes after roll. IRL we have a constant problem when pilots using rudder during touch down and inadvertently hold brakes - that make a bold spot on the tire like this (below) That is why when we teach just before touch down we say "heels on the floor". Here is my rudder setup at the moment -
Heads up re PMDG 738 PAX loading option in GSX
sd_flyer replied to Noel's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Works fine in 777 -
I don't know about inBuilds... I have just updated their A300 and there are still plenty of bugs. I wonder how they are going to pull it with A350!

sd_flyer replied to FlyData's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I think it's recommended to land with auto throttle engaged. Auto throttle will automatically cut power around 25 ft AGL. I personally prefer pitch attitude 2-3 degrees on round up. I use GPWS radio altimeter calls to help me with round up. -

sd_flyer replied to Drumcode's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I just got it from my Feb 2023 order! A long and rocky wait I should say. LOL It's my second day with Charlie, and so far I like it. Very solid build, perfect grip to my carpet, no need to fix it against the wall like my Logitech rudders. Most importantly it's a first pedals I own where you can adjust tension and it feels like GA airplane. So it feels very natural.
