Strangely enough, I was experiencing the same issue today. Cruising at FL360, roughly 25 minutes before TOP I needed a step climb to FL370 due to airway restrictions. Pressurization was set at FL370. Dial 37000, hit ALT INTV, and suddenly the aircraft said "Reset MCP altitude", as for VNAV, I was way past my TOD. The only way to continue with reasonable VNAV was to stay at 360 and dial it in at the CRZ page, which returned the aircraft to its VNAV state from before. Also dialing in 370 in the CRZ page first brought the issue. To be honest, once in a while I encounter software issues in PMDG aircraft, but very rarely. This was the first time this happened in the 737 in at least 100 or 200 flights.

Ahh, there it was hidden. Got it - thanks!

Hey folks, I'm a new user to the Q400 Pro Edition. What I figuered out is, that random failures are usually on - so I was looking for any abnormal checklists in the documentation of the aircraft, but didn't find any. Am I just blind or stupid? Or aren't there any? Which would be ridiculous on sophisticated plane like the Q400 with installed failure system... Hope you can help me!

Hey there, just been trying to donload the Norway Scenic LC, but it says that the files aren't there anymore... What exactly is the advantage of this over the NSX III? NSX III does have landclass data in it, too, doesn't it? And they don't mention the Scenic LC on the flightsimnorway site...

All of a sudden: Very slow ground texture loading
Crossdrop replied to Crossdrop's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Okay, Problem solved itself magically. Some clicking in the Graphic-Settings (not really reucing though) and now it works as before. Only during initial climb, I see some blurry textures below me, but I can't even exclude it wasn't before like that - I just was too mich into flying than looking around during climb. During cruise, it's fine, even after the REX textures are loaded into FSX. -
All of a sudden: Very slow ground texture loading
Crossdrop replied to Crossdrop's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Little addition: I put in an old fsx.cfg, that reduces the loading time from a massive 3 minutes to just 40 seconds (that occured very normal to me), but the textures still load slow as a snail. -
I know this topic has been talked about before, but none actually matched my problem or helped me out so I try it again: Until last week, my FSX was running really smooth, with no problems. I have installed ORBX Global, Vector, OpenLC, fly with the Real Air Turbine Duke and the PMDG MD11. I have some freeware airports installed, but not a a huge mess. Even during starts with the MD11, I had no really slow FPS, although I don't know the exact value. But it was smooth! 2 weeks ago, REX4 was available at a reduced price, so I gave it a try. Since my FSX folder was really big and my games partition was reaching its limit, I enlarged it. Rex was installed with no problems, but the performance was horrible: FSX took ages to load and crashed after 3 minutes during the first flight with the MD11. I then removed all REX textures with the built in function, trying to optimize REX for my system, but now: FSX still takes long time to load (a bit less than with REX before, but way longer than 2 weeks ago). And after 5 minutes into the flight with the MD11, I don't have any sharp ground textures. With a slower plane like the Turbine Duke, it is the same, just takes a bit longer into the flight. I dont understand the reason for this: Frames are perfectly alright. The only thing I changed was changed back. And still it is a huge mess! I have deragmented the partition. No change. I really have no idea what's going wrong :( System is i5-4460, Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, 8 GB Ram. Any suggestions?

Yes, I asked for it in the ORBX Support Forum. Turns out you have to switch DX10 off to make it work.

One question, I'm nor sure if this is strongly MD11 related or FSX in general, because the MD11 is my first bird with autobrakes. The issue I have is that the manual brake is really weak as compared to autobrake. So when I land and have autobrake even at low, the bird slows down quite well. Once I hit the footbrakes, the deceleration really gets much slower. So when I practiced an engine failure before V1, when hitting the brakes instinctively, I overshoot the runway with like 80 or 100 knots. When I just use autobrakes, I'm fine. I just guess it's an MD11 config problem as the calibration of the pedals is fine and goes from 0 - 100. So is there any value I could optimize or this even how this bird behaves? (Which I hardly can imagin - once you hit the brakes and autobrakes get off you're really likely going to die....) I hope you can help! Cheers from Franconia.

Yeah - I want my FSX to increase slowly and not spend 50 € every month and then after one year and a half realize that it starts to be boring As weather engine I keep an eye on FSGRW - maybe they also have temperatures for any altitude. At the moment I use a free weather engine (FSXWX) and am quite happy for what it does for free.

Hah...that would reqiure to have ASN purchased

I looked for different phases in each of which the winds were not changing a lot and took an average for those phases. So in the end I had different "phases" of the flight with different winds. But I didn't enter the wind for each and every waypoint. BTW: I look up the winds at SkyVector, but do you know a source where I can get the temeperatures from?
-
Yeah...seems like PMDG has simulated that thing as real as it gets. As the FMS is just a computer, it sometimes does things differently when hitting the same buttons. We all know that And that property of a computer was very well simulated :smile:

Okay, in this flight it worked out with the Vert Rev Page. The flight before, I somehow was "not allowed" to get to the Vert Rev Page. How could this happen?
-
psschlute, thanks for the reply. Guess I didn't try that before. Unfortunately, the next opportunity to test for me is Monday. I will tell here if it works for me then. Cheers and have a nice weekend! pcubine: In that FMS section it is hard to understand how and where exactly I have to put in the winds for cruise flight. That's what I was asking. And, also if it's complicated, I'd like to do this appropriately. On that very flight I had no wind during climb, but later up to 100 in cruise. So I wanted to put in a climb wind and the an average cruise wind, at least. Sorry bout the name, didn''t know about it ;-)
