  1. Thanks. As an side, this function is (correctly) enabled in the Aerosoft A320, so you can easily switch between the two.
  2. In the real world you will see both active & secondary databases: normally the secondary one is installed ready for you to select when the active one expires. For simming purposes, it is handy to be able to either select the previous one of there is a problem with the new one, or to select another source as there are always differences in the databases provided by the two source providers. Often, something that is missing/incorrect in one database can be found in the other.
  3. I notice that only the active nav database is shown in the CDU. Is there any way of viewing the secondary database, either the previous, backed up one, or one installed from another source, i.e. Navigraph & NavDatPro?
  4. Yes, the initial climb is STRAIGHT AHEAD to 750' (QNH). The GPWS occurs during this phase & clears once the gear is up & locked, i.e. no red lights. I have just experienced the same issue following a go around from an ILS approach to Rwy 33 at Birmingham, UK (EGBB). I have filed a support ticket via the PMDG website.
  5. On this occasion the GA followed a Cat I ILS approach to Rwy 23R at Manchester, UK (EGCC). The GA was commenced at the Cat I ILS DA of 449' (baro). I do not have any third party scenery installed. I have experienced the same issue following a GA at other UK airports, but have not posted before now as I wanted to make sure that it is a repetitive event. Needless to say, it has gone in the tech log :wink:
  6. Hi, I am getting a spurious GPWS warning during go-around: When carrying out a dual channel auto go around, I am getting an aural "Too low, gear" warning with a red PULL UP on the PFD after raising the landing gear. This is despite carrying out the correct procedure, i.e. selecting TOGA, Flaps 15, positive rate, gear up... Currently running P3D 3.3 in Windows 10. Doug Boynton
  7. I'm in agreement with 'roarkr': I'm located in the UK & have major problems accessing this site, as well as anything to do with AVSIM. An improvement in service would be very much appreciated.
  8. Yes, but it's a lot of fun! :(
  9. A Flap 40 approach produces more drag hence more power is required: in this case you should see approx 60% N1Doug
  10. For the real aircraft?Doug
  11. This seems to occur following an early turnback to the departure airfield. I.e. the planned cruise altitude has not been reached & the SID abandoned for an early return to the departure airport. I will investigate further & get back to you...Doug
  12. And there was me believing every word! Doug
  13. That fixed it for me; good catch
  14. There will always be shortcomings in these programmes but please see this extract from the 'Introduction' manual:“Simulation” should mean nothing short of incredible depth, detail and feature richness that allows for the proper application of real-world operating procedures and techniques without offering excuses as to why parts of the airplane behave differently than what is described in the flight manual. “Simulation” means that when you engage the autopilot and put the airplane into LNAV/VNAV, it should behave like it would if you were actually flying the airplane. This means that it behaves not just in easy to manage climbs and descents, but it reacts appropriately when you punish the airplane with rapid changes and demands near the limits of the airplane’s capabilities. “Simulation” shouldn’t leave you saying: “Well… it is just a flight-sim product.” Cheers, Doug
