Dan, It did indeed show the three failures as active on the options menu of the CDU. Let me know if you want me to pick you up a ticket as well! 🤣

Thanks for the answer! I’ve been waiting patiently for my first service based failure in the -8 and was lucky enough to have three all at once 😂

I did a long flight in the -8f today and during my decent I got three Eicas messages saying bleed HP eng 1,3, and 4. This is the first failure I’ve gotten in the 8 I went to the QRH and know it says it’s caused by the hp bleed valve being closed when commanded open but just out of pure interest and curiosity wondered what is actually occurring in the engine that causes this. Thanks!

I may be misunderstanding him but I think he is saying once he centers his control column the stabilizer trim works. I had this problem from walking around the aircraft on the ground with chaseplane using the arrow keys which moved my control column all the way down so I couldn’t trim up. As soon as I recentered it the trim worked. I assume this is the way the actual aircraft functions.

I have chaseplane and find it extremely useful once you get the views set up. It helps me a lot during preflight as I can move from panel to panel easily. I have gotten so used it I have a hard time flying without it now.

Thank you guys for all the comments. I don’t have the cajones to explain an oculus rift purchase to the wife so I will start with trackir and later down the road when everyone uses vr maybe it will be more affordable.

Awesome thanks to all for the replies! Guess I’m gonna have to get it now 😆

I use chaseplane so good to know that will make setup easier.

I am looking into getting trackir 5 and mainly fly PMDG birds so wanted to ask here if anyone has any experience using it with PMDG and if it’s worth it. So any thoughts from those who have used it would be incredibly helpful. Thanks

This seems to have fixed it for me. Thanks!!

Kyle, Is this something that we will have to wait for LM to fix on their end or are you guys still looking for solutions? Thanks!

I have created my own panel states from the default start several times and it doesn’t make a difference for me. My FMC message light never goes away. Obviously it hasn’t grounded the airplane but I’d be lying if I said that little yellow light didn’t drive me crazy.

Good to know. I appreciate you answering my next question before I asked it.

Awesome, thank you this fixed my problem! Sometimes its the simplest fixes that get overlooked. Thanks again!

Since the last Xplane 11 update the DC-6 loads with the pilots visible inside the cockpit, the flight engineer tab is gone and none of the switches are functional. Has anyone else had this issue and found a workaround? I am aware PMDG does not support Xplane 11. I just thought I would give it a shot and see if the community has had this issue and found a fix. Thanks!
