    Hi there. Today I was downloading some liveries through the PMDG Operations center and I noticed that in the "version" tab it says that my CD version is outdated:

    But when I click on the "download update" icon a .txt pops up saying this:

    Greetings,

    Which simulator are you using?

    Why are you saying that is not working?

    AP is working as it should, otherwise we wouldn´t release it, it was tested by a real life EMB505 pilot.

    Could you describe the procedures you are doing?

    Regards,

    Carenado.

     

    Really? And why would people spend another 50 bucks on Flight1's GTN 750 addon if your autopilot is "working as it should"? :fool:

     

     

    Not to rub salt in the wound, but for what you paid for that aircraft, you could have turned around and bought the Aerosoft A320/321. This is a great short to mid haul aircraft with everything functioning as it should. I am still very impressed with what Aerosoft put together. Now, if only their CRJ gets released soon. :)

    Yes I believe you can get a refund. I think its pretty well hidden on their site though. I will go and have a look

    The really do refund,check out this thread however Im not sure how its done

    I can't find any info about refunding in that thread. Plus I bought it through the official website not through flight1s website.

     

    I will try through their ticket system. At least they will have to hear me complaining :wink:

    I couldn't initialize it. I rebooted my computer and now it won't appear anymore in the Services window. I tried running FSX again and now it says "ERROR: Activation library initialization failed"

     

    Is there some way to properly reinstall that service? Looks like someone has been messing with my computer...

    I purchased the Phenom 300 1.3 with the Navdata expansion v1.3, updated it to the current AIRAC cycle (1604) and jumped into the cockpit to have some fun.

     

    I planned a quick Barbados- St Maarten flight (TBPB-TNCM) to test the autopilot capabilities and discovered that...

     

    - FLC mode does NOT work at all. I set an initial altitude of 8000ft and the autopilot just kept climbing like a rocket after FL080.

     

    - SPD SEL mode does NOT work. Suposely you have to set the corresponding thrust mode for each phase of flight, well I did and couldn't see the autopilot controling airspeed in any way (nor pitch nor N1).

     

    - VNV altitudes in the flightplan page cannot be changed, I tried to do a step climb during cruise and I just coulnd't change the altitude numbers in the flightplan page.

     

    - VNV mode does NOT work. I set and activated a GPS approach into St Maarten and the autopilot did not descent in VNV mode, I had to use VS mode to descend, if not I would have passed over the rwy at FL280.

     

    In conclusion: I got a fancy aircraft with a high quality 3D cockpit full of fancy screens and fancy switches that DO NOT WORK. I had to manage the whole flight using VS mode since it is the only way I could control vertical navigation.

     

    I know this is not a PMDG lvl aircraft but I payed 45€ for it and I expected it would be at least flyable. I wanted a fast business jet to use in short jumps when Im not using my PMDG aircrafts...I guess Ill just ask for a refund...oh wait, I cant. Thank you so much Carenado, I will NEVER buy anything else from you.

    After reading 4 pages I was about to post what this guy said:

    I think a lot of 3D fliers don't realize that lots of people don't fly on just one computer screen.I've seen lots of pictures of pilots building simpits that have multiple screens, each with an undocked 2D panel on it to simulate a real cockpit instead of one screen that can move around a 3D environment.In my opinion, if you have just one screen a 3D VC is the realistic way to fly. Some pilots use 1 screen and still prefer 2D, that's fine except sooner or later they will have to adapt and change with the rest of the flight sim world. There are plenty of tools to help people navigate a 3D VC that make it just as quick to perform tasks as a 2D panel.But for the simpit builders, VC won't help them at all, so they're the ones that are really at a loss when 2D goes out the window.At that point, buying actual components (like GoFlight modules) will be the only way to get a simpit. More expensive then extra monitors, but at the same time even more realistic.
    Some people myself included prefer 2D panels because they can be undocked and placed on different monitors, creating a full home-made cockpit with just a few monitors and a joystick. Someone asked why would I want to fly in 2d mode instead of the 3d mode: I prefer 2d panels becuase in the 3d cockpit you cant have this setup:gallery_4853_414_100978.jpgI love the 777 but I will not pay for a product that can not be used in a multi-monitor setup like the one shown above. It will be a pity to miss the 777 but I still have thousands of hours of fun flying the 744 and the MD-11. I do not need to sacrifice my favourite desktop setup in order to fly a long hauler.So there you got another reason to maintain the 2d panel option.Regards, Daniel Santos.
