I am still expecting a commercial Airliner, as mentioned before a Fokker 70-100 would be nice and maybe an Airbus A340, why should PMDG stick to Boeing. Besides it's interesting to fly an airliner with a totally different concept. A good version of the Mc Donnell Douglas DC-8 would be great too with its beautifully crafted jet engines and its distinct appearance. And off course when the DC-8 comes into focus the Boeing 707 is not far away. Ah, well, PMDG may surprise us yet

In that case I would like to see a Fokker 70/100 again, again because of the effort Digital Aviation put into it in the past. I will enclose some pictures to give you an idea. I liked the simulation very much, a VC however, was never included. The speedbrakes, located in the tail section are interesting and the FMS is somewhat similar to an Airbus.

For the coming years I will be very happy with the upcoming 747 V 2.0 and I would welcome a propliner like the aforementioned DC-6. Since PMDG is Boeing minded the Dreamliner will probably be one of its future developments. The PMDG 777-200-300 series is a wonderful simulation and has set a high standard for airplanes yet to come..

Yes I agree, a good rendition of a Fokker 100 including off course a VC would be great. Personally, I think that the Boeing 787 stands a chance of becoming a future PMDG project. Marc Lohman

I just had this issue right now flying from LOWW to EDLP. I too wondered about the FMC message on the EICAS and how to respond to it. I understand it now, thanks for the explanation. Cheers, Marc Lohman, The Netherlands

Hello Kyle, I made a flight yesterday from Nice (LFMN) to Menorca (LEMH) and adjusted the settings as you suggested: PMDG SETUP > SIMULATION to NEVER ("never allow the hardware to override the A/T") The flight was smooth and the VNAV descent was exactly as it should be. I also made sure that my hardware throttle was in the idle position after takeoff. So, at least this time I did not encounter any erratic behaviour. I will give you an update after about ten more flights to see if everything is working accordingly now. Marc

Thank you, Kyle, Your response is very helpful. I will give it a go and use the settings you suggested. The only thing I find confusing is that I never experienced this problem before. Cheers, Marc

I just experienced the same problem too. The Trple seven was behaving very erratically and crazy, I might say. I was flying from LOWW (Vienna) to LGAV (Athens) and I flew the cruise part of the flight with the 2X simulation speed option. Just before the top of descent I reset the altitude knob from FL 350 to 2000 ft. Passing the TD my engines went to idle and the speed showing on the primary flight display was 314 knots. The vertical descent path was showing and the 777 seemed to follow it nicely. All of a sudden the speed went up to 340+ with full thrust and off course the overspeed alarm went off and the FMC demanded drag. Instead of descending the plane started to climb with about 5-6000ft. Setting the speed manually didn't help either and I was forced to end the flight. I have never experienced this with a PMDG 777. The only thing that I should mention is that I have FSPS fiber accelerator installed, but in previous flights this did not present a problem. Cheers, Marc
