  1. Drzewiecki Design New York Airports and Moscow UUEE. They do not seem to be made by the same developer of all of the Polish Airport sceneries. They just look terrible, especially the runways. They also perform terribly. I hope he doesn't screw up Warsaw. Next would be no announcement that the NGX is getting priority for a version 2.
  2. I'm putting my money into my real flying first. With what I have now my focus is to get better with understanding accents on VATSIM in Europe. Eventually I want a faster machine, and a throttle quadrant. Then I'll assess what's next from there.
  3. I'm in Lodz for a two weeks, just curious how many simmers are in this city.
  4. I just parked her for a few days in Wroclaw, EPWR.
  5. I'm looking to fire up my own VA. I'm looking for a painter to help work on a design, and to paint. I'd like to have the PMDG 737-700W, 737-800W, 777-200LR, 777-300 (when it's released) and the Majestic Q400. I'm willing to provide compensation for the talent to design and paint. PM me and let's get to work. Mods, please delete the other identical posts, tapatalk said it could not post, each time I posted, but in fact, it did post. My apologies...
  6. I've had zero problems with EZ and find it very helpful to navigate the VC. I tried Opus for weather and it was terrible. Terrible wind shifts and incredibly high air temp at high altitudes made the plane fly terribly. I dismissed the rest of the program, but I may try the cameras after reading comments here, but I will not use the weather, I'm sticking with AS2012.
  7. I hand fly the departure until it gets boring, then engage the AP. I disconnect the AP for the turn to final or localizer capture. I often disconnect the autothrottle for final. The only time I do autoland is for CAT III

    RTA simulated ?

    I don't think it's simulated. This is the one problem I have with FCOM that PMDG releases. It's neat to read about what the plane actually does, but it can be hard to decipher what is actually simulated.
  9. I've flown on them long haul a few times. My last round I was not pleased, every flight left late. My flight from Dallas to Frankfurt left two hours late, I barely made my connection. My flight from Munich to Newark left four hours late, I missed my connection. Overall, the airline seems ok, and the interiors of their aircraft are nice. My only real complaint is the east bound and west bound flights have the same entertainment selections. I like how American has one set of movies east bound, and one set west part. If I watch everything going east bound on Munich, I'm bored coming back west bound.
  10. Go to the overhead panel, look for the master brightness, and turn it down, or press the button in the center of the master brightness dial. That disables global brightness settings, and you can control each display individually.
  11. My experience setting up EZCA for the 777 has been the exact same for every plane I setup with EZCA, and it's all outlined in the EZCA manual. Add a camera view and name it, press the Num 2 button on your keyboard, set your view and zoom using a combination of arrow keys and the mouse, when you're happy with the view, press Num 2 again to set the view. Rinse and repeat for as many cameras as you want. Do it with the 777, the 737, the Q400 and whatever is in your hangar.
  12. I think there is plenty up ahead. For me, the 737NGX, and the 777 are the only two planes I really want. So I'm just looking forward to the NGX service pack 2, and more scenery. I won't be getting the 747.
  13. I simply cannot get this to work. Today I'm flying EGKK to SBGL. I copy the wind data from AS2012 starting with the origin. I paste it into a word document and save it as EGKKSBGL.wx and save it to the wx folder in the PMDG folder. I load my flight plan in the FMS, I go to the winds, type in EGKKSBGL into the scratch pad, I press request weather, and I get an invalid entry. What am I doing wrong?
  14. People's experience with FSX is so interesting in this regard. You have some people with powerful computers, and then there's someone like me. I run FSX on an iMac, which is not super powerful hardware wise, the only fix I've had to do is the HIGHMEM fix. Other than that, I run the 777X and the 737NGX with AS2012, and a ton of high quality airport scenery, and I use traffic. I get great frame rates, and a great experience overall. Are my graphics as detailed, and as pretty as some of the screenshots I see? Nope, but my graphics are also not set at the bottom for everything. Someday I'll build a dedicated FSX computer anyways to try to push the graphics up, but I'm having so much fun flying these two birds, into great airports, crash free, and that's more than some people can say in regard to this sim.
  15. Is it by design? This is from the manual: VNAV deactivated: • by selecting TO/GA, FLCH SPD, V/S, FPA, ALT or G/S pitch mode • if dual FMC failure VNAV is disarmed by: • pushing the VNAV switch a second time, or • arming APP LNAV deactivated: • by selecting heading hold (HDG HOLD) or track hold (TRK HOLD) • by selecting heading select (HDG SEL) or track select (TRK SEL) • when localizer captures • with dual FMC failure (LNAV may be re–activated if there is an active CDU ALTN NAV route available) LNAV is disarmed by pushing the LNAV switch a second time, or by arming LOC or APP. It says pushing it a second time should disarm it.
