I haven't read the whole POH manual yet, but gradually take my time. But I am going through the checklist and try some buttons and switches. When I move the bar for the Emergency Instrument Power I get a sort of vacuum cleaner sound that stays on even if I turn the switch to its normal position. Then I tried to disengage it by disconnecting battery and ground power but the sound keeps running. Is that kind of normal behavior to expect when switching emergency instrument power ? Just curious thats all, and keep digging into the systems....

Look at http://shadetreemicro.com they make great planes, not so good in the texture quality but great in systems.

Thanks Morten, for some comments on that. That's only what I intended, but not an attack on the person but on some of his assumptions that can put me, as an user, in another direction. I didn't agree with his tone of voice that PMDG was wrong on this and that and he know it all but tried to keep an open mind about his assumptions and gather more info from other people. Because as an user I try to gather information about things I love, such as flightsimming, and yes Claudio, I don't expect that a simulation program of 59 dollars and an model of 70 dollars is perfect in simulating the real thing, that would be absurd. And Katrin I wasn't offended with the comments of Robert, I respect his opinion.

Great update, thanks.

Thanks guys for your input, but where leaves that me the user which isn't very knowledgeable about flight dynamics of a real aircraft vs the simulated one ? I am not interested in bashing products, I love the PMDG products, but at the same time I am interested in it all and wanted to learn as much as I can. So bought some books with sometimes different views, Rod Machado (private pilot handbook) and reading now 'stick and rudder' from Wolfgang Langewiesche (marvelous book) and try to absorb it all and see how this can effect my flightsimming. So the question here was, has he some valid points, because I believe he has, but I am not sure.

I like to hear some opinions about his points on engine start and flight model, especially about the roll movement. Are these valid points or not. I am not a real pilot but read books about flight dynamics and am wondering about his arguments.

Thanks Aurelien, I did read it and indeed was very interesting.

Well Pete, I do hope so, because I find there products top notch in every department, manuals, flight model and support.

Question for PMDG: This aircraft was a test case for development in x-plane. Is there any verdict yet as in succeeded and yes we are going to do more or is the jury still out. Perhaps it's already answered somewhere else but I haven't seen it, so sorry if I am asking again. Forgive my blindsight, I just read it in another post .....

Thanks Kyle, multiple installations are used to test beta version of x-plane. Regards, Piet.

I have multiple installations of x-plane on the same computer. Is it possible to install the Cloudmaster in these installations ?

Thanks Dan, I didn't noticed that directory because I was on a new install disk, but yes the files were there. Minor issue solved !!!

No worries, but that could be it, I will check this. I am currently on V3.1 but have flown this under V2.5 and there I could select this scenario. But I had to reinstall all and did only install V3.1 of P3D and reinstalled all the PMDG aircraft again with the new installers. So I was puzzled as to why I didn't see the scenarios anymore.

Thanks Dan, Yes I have flown the first scenario, The problem is not a long scenerio list but a short one and doesn't contain the PMDG scenarios. I have the scenario screen when I load P3D but clicking on the load button I get only the default scenarios. But what do you mean with the Publisher column, I don't see that in the list. I have only Type, Favorite, Scenario Title, Category Scenario File Name and Date/Time. Am i missing something ?? Piet v.d. Hout

I am very new at P3D and PMDG stuff so perhaps I am very ignorant about this. The second tutorial stated that I can load the scenerio via the Load button in the scenerio screen but the pmdg flights are not there. Only the default flights from P3D. Is there another way to select the PMDG turorial flight directly or do I have to load the aircraft first, position it at the right airport and load the state of the aircraft via the FMS.
