Flyprecisely (https://www.facebook.com/FlyPrecisely/) might at some point come up with -8i and -8F profiles.

Will do, not high priority here either - just thought it's worth mentioning.

In the PMDG Operations Center, the Livery Downloader lists the Panalpina 747-8F as Palapina. This is a typo. The company is called PANALPINA. https://imgur.com/cvWHXj1

Robert - "blaming you" is exaggerated. Haven't touched P3D since April and especially, haven't touched any of my PMDG aircraft for almost a year. I remembered there was an issue with this, preventing users from calling for the pop-up PFD otherwise a CTD might follow. I thought it's worth asking if the issue is fixed. Never said you should fix it. On the other hand, preparing for the 748, I re-installed the 744 and the taxi behaviour feels different. Did you guys change anything in the (already enhanced) ground physics? The 744 (and later the 777) was given the updated ground friction model or whatever we call it, but now that I tested it kind of felt weird. Accelerated to 10-12 Knots of taxi speed but as soon as I cut the throttle the aircraft has quickly come to a full stop, with only 30% payload and whatever the default fuel load is. But maybe it's just my absence from the sim, and nothing was changed.

I do know about the prevention - kind of locking the screen from popping up. But that is not a complete solution. The solution would be the pop up screen working without triggering a CTD. Maybe one day...

I am wondering if the "crash-to-desktopness" of the captain's PFD when clicking on it is solved for this release?

Panalpina.

Meanwhile I find this project very exciting and fun, I did not expect such thing from PMDG. Once it's out, I will evaluate if I can make good use of it or not but I am not particularly interested in it right now. A PMDG 757/767/787, CSeries or E-Jets announcement would have been sweet.

Sure there isn't too many operators flying the pax variant. You can add to the list a Qatar VIP aircraft which - at least in the sim world - can also be utilised on passenger services.

You serious? UPS have already been flying their 748F aircraft, then we have Silkway, AirBridgeCargo, Atlas, Cathay Pacific Cargo, Nippon Cargo, Cargolux, Korean Cago, just to name a few...

Well said!

I know DTG since the early days when they started under the Railsimulator.com brand. To keep the long story short, the brand name might have changed but the attitude and work ethics behind the scenes never did. Although I do feel sorry for those who were trapped by their false promises but deep inside I am happy these con artist are out.

It has nothing to do with any nearby airports or windfarms. It is obviously an inherited bug in the very core of the simulation. No matter how low or high one flies it is still there. There are no big airports in the immediate area. I've no issues at or around the big airports such as LGW , LHR or STN anyways - yet approaching the Clacton VOR, even from the sea induces these very odd stutters that get worse when looking outside. If I move the camera onto the instrument panel with no outside landscape in view it gets better but looking outside, especially going into wing view increases the stuttering. And then once leaving the area behind it gets back to normal. I had this issue in FSX, P3D v3 and now in V4.1 as well, it seems to be a resident evil.

Wish it was the MD-11 for P3DV4... But it's most probably not that.

Agree. Awful exterior lights, especially the position lights, they make me feel like we are back at FS2000. These absolutely need to be improved.

I guess it has to do with the TFDi components. http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=14730.0

I experience the same. What is the solution, did you find out?

Hello, P3D V4.2 here. Purchased the Maddog earlier this afternoon. After installing I found that calling for the GSX on-screen menu (CTRL+F12) the menu opens in full screen and not in the the usual small pop-up form. Searching the Internet I found a similar report from 2016 when someone experienced the exact same issue after installing the TFDi 717. I am wondering if anyone else had this issue and if there is a know solution to this please. Cheers kityatyi

Thank you kindly for your detailed response, I truly appreciate it!

Since I could not find answer on the product page I though I post my question here. I am wondering if the Fly the Maddog X product features custom ground physics similar to PMDG's DC-6, 747 and 777 as well as the entire A2A product range, the Majestic Q400 and the FSLabs A320 or does the Maddog come with the highly unrealistic default ground friction model? There are quite a few otherwise great products that still come with the awful default P3D ground physics and I am trying to ask in advance as I do not intend to buy anything in the future that does not come with custom coded ground friction model. Thank you kindly for your response and have a great evening.

Not necessarily a failure within the cargo industry. I agree with the CSeries though, would be awesome!

This is the secret of long life. Sure, sun and food and other word not allowed are important too but man, if you have EFB, performance calculation tool, rain effects... unfathomable!

It's a different team working in the jets - so fixing these shouldn't be a problem. I am sure it's just a matter of a short time.

Blame? I came for help, not to blame anyone. Thanks for the support.
