Good morning, I've had an issue where the Maddog doesn't calculate a T/D if the route has any discontinuities in the STAR. For example, yesterday I flew KATL-MBPV using the RNAV28 arrival in MBPV. I loaded the flightplan from PFPX, there was a discontinuity in the route symbolizing vectors- which I cleared, however the FMC didnt calculate a T/D, just listed an end of decent which was the airport itself. I had to descent with the DES DIR feature. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'm having an issue with my cockpit night lighting, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is a bug. My captains FMC keyboard does not stay backlit, all other pedestal lights are on and work fine, including FO FMC, however the captain's one is dark. Additionally, this is only in the VC, the lights appear on the 2D popup. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Robert, If its of any help, the wing droop seems normal during the 20 second initialization period when first loading the sim... then once its all initialized the spar becomes a rubber beam

Interesting... in my case departure runway is irrelevant, just arrival runway. Took of on 28R both times, OOMed selecting ILS07R at HKG, with a steady decrease over the flight, while wiht ILS07L selected my VAS held steady at 1.1GB

I have the same issue that I have on the 777 in terms of VAS, where there is a memory leak on certain runways - VHHH 07R, KSFO 28R. Its discussed in detail here: http://www.avsim.com/topic/477686-p3d-v3-fmc-memory-leak-back/ My first ever flight in the 747 was to find out if the same memory leak exists, I tried to do KSFO-VHHH landing on ILS07R - got an OOM about 8 hrs in, same as on the 777. Tried to do the same flight yesterday, but set the approach to ILS07L, and no memory leak, landed with 1GB VAS remaining. There's something PMDG code related that's causing these leaks, as I have them in the exact same scenarios, on both the 747 and 777, can someone look into this - more specifically that thread I linked above? I'm also using the "good" driver - 376.33

Say you work for an airline, and you've got a 737, 757, 767 which are in need of repair, which one do you repair first? I'm thinking you repair the 757 due to its load capacity and the fact it is versatile and can fly similar routes as a 737/767

I currently always start my NGX up in a cold and dark state, but I'm aware that pilots almost never enter an aircraft in a cold and dark state. I was wondering what is the most common panel state in the real world for a pilot entering the cockpit, whats on and what isn't? Also, if there are any real world WN pilots could provide details, that would be great too!

So just to clarify, I currently have UTX and GEX, will FTXG replace both or just GEX?

First flight will be Delta DTW-ATL to get my feet wet with the plane

just ordered them!

Hi everyone! I've been using my trusty Saitek X52 for the past 5-6 years or so, and I've never had any problems using the twist rudder on the stick, but I was recently thinking of buying the pro flight rudder pedals. I mainly fly the NGX, MJCQ400 and soon to be the PMDG 777, are the rudder pedals worth the $100 price? Thanks

Beautiful! I'm loving the paint, thanks a lot man!

Lovin the wings on that one Ian, fantastic paint!

Dirty! They're looking awesome! Dirty just like they are on the old WN -700s!

Awesome, thanks! I'll be looking forward to it!
