Hi, I have serahced this forum for hours and also Google on it but I haven't found a solution. I have also tried YouTube. No where do I find an answer... 1. I did a video of the isses below with Camtasia that illustrates very clearly what I'm talking about. Please suggest to me what to do with this video if it can help to demonstate the problem and perhaps lead to a solution. YouTube? 2. 777 latest version. W7-64, 16 GB i7 3.0 Mhz 2 x Samsung 1TB SSD. 2. Fresh W7 install. Nothing else on this machine than W7-64 and FSX (sp1 and 2) and PMDG 777 and PMDG 737. 3. I'll try to make as brief a description as possible of the series of the issues I have, as I somehow feel they may be connected and depend on something I haven't set up ok. Judging by the massively imprtessive PMDG 777 I doubt anything is wrong with the simcraft itself - but rather my setup or something. a) If the route involves a long turn ( like almost 180 degrees etc) it seems the 777 first banks a little too steep so that it is "inside" the turn. Then as it comes closer to where it should fly level again it is now outside the turn and has to turn back towards the track when it leaves the turn. When it turns back this means an S-turn is unavoidable of course... But it does not turn back all the way and properly gets back on track again... instead it sort of leans towards the track and hope time will solve the problem... For minutes sometimes... and then it's back on track... Sometimes this can take 10 minutes... Plane in a constant 2-3 degree bank... (no winds or anything btw). There seem to be variations to the problems I have described - the basic descriptin I guess is that it doesn't turn the way it should. And it doesn't follow the track as it should. b) Flying SIDs and STARs with many turns left and right and maybe 5-10 waypoints instead of doing the turns like it should and fly straight on track in between the whole SID or STAR becomes a myriad of turning, turning, turning (lots of S-turns) and if the distances between waypoints aren't long enough it can enter into a new scenarios that further adds to the confusion... c) I have frame rates that are typically 23-45 fps. Everything looks good and smooth otherwise. d) I have followed PMDG's instructions by the letter in terms of install and FSX prefs etc. e) I read on AVSIM about FSUIPC. So I purchased that and downloaded it. Hoping that it should be the solution to the above problems. But I'm not really sure exactly how to set it up - if indeed FSUIPC is the solution fro me here. Is it? Is FSUIPC the solution? (If so - why isn't it included in the 777? Could have saved me many hours...... f) Flying the 737 I see sort of the same problems but not to the extent of the 777. The 737 is a little firmer and while it also "leans" for miutes sometimes, actual turns are made with more "discipline" if you like... g) And onther strange phenomenon: On the 777 the magenta line is sometimes drawn on the screen describing the most amazing geometrical shapes... Often when approacing such a butterfly like shape it vanishes and becoms a simple straight line again. I'm mentioning it in case it has some diagnostic value... Apart from above the PMDG 777 is fantastic and the looks and accuracy and detail etc. makes for a truly impressive experience... Both interior flight deck and exterior is very well made! If I could only make it follow the flight plan and stick to the magenta line instead of deviating from this and do the turns well I would be so happy! g) Oh yes, one more thing: right before it's supposed to turn, there's a "spike" or stutter and the turn is started a bit abruptly. This could take a way the smooth magic flow of the flying experince. Is this perhaps connected with the issues I've already described above? Thanks in advance for your advice Lars
