Guys . . . here are my findings. 1. I initiated a short flight this afternoon without using the FS "Real Weather" setting . . . aircraft stable. I re-engaged "Real Weather" and shortly after the uncommanded rolls commenced. I disabled the "Turbulence" option and aircraft settled down. I re-engaged the "Turbulence" option and flight remained fine through landing. 2. I initiated another flight . . . a little longer in duration . . . 220 miles. I began with FS "Real Weather" engaged and "Turbulence" option active. About 10 - 15 minutes into the flight, the uncommanded rolls began again. I disabled the "Turbulence" option and the aircraft settled down for the remainder of the trip . . . although it did drift 1.5 to the left of LNAV track. That puzzled me somewhat since the crosswinds were at around 85 knots at about 330 degrees off the nose of aircraft heading. That kind of wind should have pushed me to the right of LNAV track. I think it is under control with the PMDG aircraft and thank you for the guidance! It is interesting that the Level D 767, and the Captain Sim 757 & 767 operate fine with the "Turbulence" option selected. I may spend some time doing a comparative review of the aircraft.config files and see if anything stands out. A few days ago, I had some serious turbulence while flying the 757 . . . the aircraft handled it like a trooper and at cruise it was smooth flying. Again, many thanks!

Spin and Scandinavian . . . in answer to your questions and comments. 1. Anti-ice on only when atmospheric conditions dictate need for it. 2. The left and right rolls begin very gently and are subtle gradually increasing to significant rolls of 20 - 25 degree. 3. I'm currently using FSX "Real" Weather and REX 4 Themes. I have OPUS Live Loaded but not in ops yet. 4. Problem does not exhibit on non-PMDG add-on aircraft. I've experienced it thus far with the PMDG 737 and 777. I read somewhere that someone is experiencing it with the PMDG 747-400. I've got that aircraft . . . just have not flown it since the problem began exhibiting in the 737 and 777. I plan to run some flight checks to see if it happens . . . will also run a flight check without "Real" Weather engaged. Naturally, I prefer to fly with real and changing weather conditions. Scandinavian . . . I was in Holland many years ago investigating advanced technology MRI scanners. Beautiful country . . . rich in history . . . and, GREAT food. I imagine Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are equally spectacular. Thanks.

I checked and probably missed when doing a search on the forum. What is the solution to resolving uncommanded rolls to left and right of LNAV heading? I'm having the same problem with the PMDG 777 too. Wing and engine heat is on. I tweak the trim stabilizer trim tabs to help with crosswinds. Still have the rolls. Welcome any guidance on this.

With Delta flying 737-700 and ordering a huge number of 737-900's . . . is there any possibility of PMDG making these liveries available? How about American's new livery? Thank you.

What are folks typically using for their virtual cockpit "zoom" setting? I am routinely seeing .70. Also, I have an Intel i7, [email protected], 2.79 GHZ, 24 GB Ram, 64 bit Windows 7 OS . . . dedicated hard drive. Any thoughts on what I can reasonably expect for fps. I'm currently using 30 . . . interested in trying higher numbers but would like to hear from any with experience doing this. Thank you.

Delta has some 737-700's and have ordered considerable number of 737-900's. Any possibility of getting liveries for this aircraft? American has new livery now . . . any possibility of getting textures with the new livery? Thank you.
