77west

Apparently the 777-9 and -8 will also have this, despite being AlLi

But not so solid that it results in a bounced landing. Emirates just found that out the hard way...

PMDG - how about some actual escape slides? That would be cool to try.

This almost looks like a hardware issue if your whole PC just crashes during loading.

This would only apply if using the PMDG plane as AI - which would not be a good idea. For several reasons.

That looks perfectly fine to me. Full names in the PMDG forums...

Hi Guys I had this issue as well, I managed to resolve it by deleting the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 folder. Note, you may want to back up the dll.xml first.

Thanks, I have a GTX1080 on order so good to see what these new Pascal cards can do.

I think the proper questions is 1.) Does the real DC6 have wing flex to a discernable degree and 2.) if the answer is yes, has PMDG modelled it (I bet that if 1 = True then 2 = True)

I think he meant see it, in general. Once Sir Robert allows them, they can release their own screenshots. (The approved beta testers that is)

I don't have the 6 yet, but that's great service and a pretty speedy update in just a week! (now - get back to the 747!)

By piloting, I actually infer at least some degree of mathematical ability. (excuse the pun) :ph34r:

Amazing that sometimes a bit of piloting is actually required to fly these things... :wink:

I ran that same flightplan in PFPX but said no weather and got this: FUEL CORR ENDUR TRIP 113144 ........ 13:15 CONT 5% 5657 ........ 00:51 ALTN 3079 ........ 00:22 FINAL RESV 3312 ........ 00:30 HOLD 1678 ........ 00:15 MIN T/O 126870 ........ 15:13 EXTRA 0 ........ 00:00 TAXI 340 ........ 00:10 RELEASE 127210 ........ 15:23 then same but with live weather and got: TRIP 108755 ........ 12:16 CONT 5% 5438 ........ 00:48 ALTN 3090 ........ 00:22 FINAL RESV 3370 ........ 00:30 HOLD 1706 ........ 00:15 MIN T/O 122359 ........ 14:11 EXTRA 0 ........ 00:00 TAXI 340 ........ 00:10 RELEASE 122699 ........ 14:21

Agreed. Hideous.

Very nice. Looks like I may have to give x-plane a try, at least until the new 747 releases for P3D

The withdrawal of many 747's from commercial service is just a reality that the large twins do the same thing with lower costs. If it wasn't for the 777's and A350's of this world, the 747 may still have had many years left in her. Sadly, the only planes that need 4 engines these days are the VLA's like the A380. The final nail in the passenger 747 market was the 777-9X - basically a twinjet 747. However - The market for freighters with the nose loading door may keep her going for a few more years. The 3 frames to replace Air Force One will likely be the last passenger frames built, unless we see a new passenger customer (unlikely) or top-up order from existing operator (possible, but also a long shot)

Nice visuals. Almost PMDG quality!

-200ER, with RR engines. NZ does not have the -200LR.

Well, this escalated quickly....

The only way that would happen is for one of the Hyd systems to be pressurized. I don't believe there is any way to lock these surfaces up, and also it is not standard practice to have live Hyd systems at the gate unless they are testing something.

Humans will be humans. You guys making a big deal out of where the guys hand is... whilst not perhaps the best place, if that's his comfortable position, then leave him to it. Its not like he is having to use much force anyway, its not a 707. You could probably rotate the damn thing using your index finger only.

Which is why I said with the gear aligned head on. I realize that during pushback it would not be a good idea. (or if anyone turned the tiller)

Could be to do with airspeed. Try the same experiment at V1 and see what happens... To my knowledge TAC is mostly to help with takeoff and landing on one engine. At higher speeds, the rudder and PFC may well have enough authority to deal with some of it.

My cat once went to sleep on the controls somewhere over the pacific. Woke up to find the 777 flopping about on the sea surface like some deranged dragonfly. (crash turned off)
