So far I always did tiles and their overlays based on the meshv3. How can I create an overlay in an area where there is no such mesh available like South Africa?

Fantastic shots! Can you tell us a bit more about the wx addon (as16?) and if any postproduction color correction was used?

I would guess so. I used ASN before and bought the P3D upgrade on PCA (not on sale). I just had to enter the ASN key when installing the upgrade. ASN does not differentiate between FSX or P3D, it is one license.

Just realized that too. @ Simmarket there is almost no difference. (Edited my post 6) The FSS however has the upgrade for 29 US (and it doesn't matter if you previously bought ASN from them. You just need the key when installing the Upgrade.)

Yeah I bought it (almost) at full price too... Have a look here @ FSS: http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=3868

I like the 750 in the Skylane and the C404. It looks really good in the Lancair v2 too. I had the same thought about the Cherokee. The 650 looks way better, but buying a separate one... As most of my addons use Proline 21s, G1000s or other glass cockpit, I decided to keep some of my GA fleet a bit simpler and more realistic (and returned the 750, at least for now). I am using the FltplanGo App on my iPad to monitor and follow my fltplan.

Same here! For me the repurchase of the NGX and T7 where the last PMDG acft I bought. I am not too keen on driving the buses, but from videos this looks really great. Well done FSLabs! But... +1

I sent an email to both JustFlight and Majestic and they confirmed that you can download the new installers once you registered your CD key.

Only for FSX and boxed... (Edited)

It seems the topic of this thread is still unclear. Have a look at FCOM 2, 15.20.11 The altitude alert in the 777 is at first a white box around the altitude on the PFD, 900' before reaching selected altitude (no aural at that point). When deviating more than 200' from MCP selected altitude you get an amber box indication around the altitude on the PFD and an EICAS caution message "altitude alert" accompanied with the beeper sound. That is the same for EK acft. I am not familiar with these ini files. They should be programmed in such a way that you only get an audio alert when actually deviating. (No sound at 1000' before like with other aircraft.) When you start flying that many different acft in the sim it can get confusing Your questions about the Logo light: It is switched on from darkening near sunset till after sunrise (irrespective of altitude). Never used the wing light.

Thanks man, anytime...I am just a bit energy limited due to my health condition and it may take a while to get back :wink: I also liked to fly to those destinations and often bid for them. Emirates uses pretty much Boeing procedures. You can find a lot of information on how to operate the 777 in the PMDG FCOM 1 under Normal Procedures: Amplified Procedures. :smile: Lights: Nav is always on, even during the day. Logo only at night. Beacon before push and engine start. For taxi: Taxi and turnoffs on.( When stopping intermittently set taxi to off.) Lineup: LDG lights and strobe on (Some technique is to switch the LDG lights only to on when takeoff clearence received) 10K: LDG lights, taxi light and turnoffs to off. When passing 10k in descent set those to on again. After vacating the runway set LDG lights and strobe to OFF. Before turning into a stand set taxi and turnoffs to off. Shut down engines, beacon off.

CLB as far as I remember. Callouts 2500, 1000, 500, approaching minimum, minimum (e.g. set to 200), 100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10. MCP set V2. Vref plus 5 for landing

For the descent normally the FMC speed is used. If you notice to be above profile you could open the speed window and use 310 (>10k) before using speed brakes. On the otherhand if you get closer to the approach and maybe a bit below profile you can use vertical speed to correct. It iwas EK policy to always use the highest level of automation, e.g LNAV/VNAV before using autopilot basic modes like track select and flightpath angle and only then flying without AP. For the approach: Intercepting the ILS with Flaps 5 and speed accordingly gives you enough time to stabilize the aircraft, especially when coming in from a long flight (Unless you are far out). Glideslope alive select gear down and flaps 20, arm speed brake and display the ECL. Landing flaps 30 selected latest at 1500 AGL in order to be established at 1000' IMC or 500' AGL. You could handfly the approach and follow the flight director, but mostly we switched off the AP around 1000' according their above mentioned policy. After touch down idle reverse (if possible) and ABS braking. Taxi in: Engines 3' idle, APU running, no narrow turns, acft weight permitting they shut down one engine (normally left) Info about lights to follow

Hi Rick, unfortunately not. I only know what's in the papers. From what I understand they wanted to make a Go Around. Then the aircraft did not climb and they reversed the go around decision and crash landed?

They use all the callouts from 2500 to 10. CI 200 is a good value for high speed cruise.

No problem, just ask if you like to know something specific. I hope I remember For takeoff I forgot to mention LNAV and VNAV are armed (during ground prep). Cost Index: They used 70 when I started in 2007, which gives a decent cruise speed and descent speed. Unfortunately after the financial crisis they started to reduce to around 30, from what I hear. (I use the Simbrief value.) Cruise level according semicircular rules and optimum flight level. Wait till optimum is 1000 above the current level (FMS VNAV page) then do the step climb. (Or use auto step climb) Cruise speed as FMS calculated, depending on cost index. For NAT crossing they use M.83

Yes they have heading up. For the callouts I think it was everything, but let me check the manual. Flaps 5 for normal takeoff, Flaps 20 for wet, short runway, or windshear possibility. On shorthaul flights or light aircraft (up to 7 h) a huge thrust reduction on takeoff, e.g. assumed temperature 56 could be used (depending on performance calculation). Climb thrust 2 for the subsequent climb. Climb reduction and acceleration at 1500' if non noise limited, otherwise 1500' clb thrust and 3000' acceleration.

It' s a while since I stopped flying for them, but when I did, they did use the altitude alert. They used a pretty standard config and ECL. I am not familiar with the config files you mentioned. I normally just fly the T7 as it is, maybe change the units to kgs for my liking.

Thanks Bert, I thought so, too. No need to change to a 1080 hence.

I sold my previous rig and got a 6700k and an ASUS 1070 Strix. My FPS are: VC: Around 27-35 fps on the ground in the PMDG T7 with FSDT addon airports and around 40-55 in the air. In spot vew it's 55 on the ground and 100 plus in the air. I am running the Skylake @ 4.4, HT on, I am using a1080p monitor, AS16 plus ASCA, Orbx Global plus Vector and P3D very high settings (all at 3/4 or full except shadow quality, water quality, reflections and no ai traffic), no tweaks in the CFG, NVI 2x SGSS. When monitoring my new setup I noticed that especially on the ground at add-on airports (where I would be happy with a few more FPS) my GPU usage is only around 33%. Is that normal?

Wow, thanks Rob, that is interesting . I am waiting since weeks for my 1080. I might change my order to a 1070 that is available now and spend the 200 bucks elsewhere. I am not sure if you published the results on a single monitor already? What is the performance there, or is that compare able with above results?

I am happy to hear that, thought I am the only one not super excited...

Hi Rich, did you uninstall ASCA or are you using all three in combo?
