great ! thanks a lot

Hi all, I would need help with the following I was setting up a flight from KDFW to KLAS using simbrief and got this route suggested: KDFW/18R SWABR4 BRHMA DCT CNX DCT ZUN DCT PGS TYSSN4 KLAS/07L My problem is that I cant find the SID SWABR4 on the current Navigraph charts for KDFW - its not mentioned anywhere, however in the FMS of QOTSII it is there, and also in FsTramp (which all are updated to the current cycle 02/17) For sure I am missing something, but what?? thanks in advance, regards

Adam, I also thought about that. But those options didnt change anything

I suppose it is a P3D limitation maybe, but is there a way to make a shorter pushback / tighter turn? I many times end up in the grass or breaking into a terminal building because the distance or the turning radius is so big. The shortest option in the FS actions Menu is 76 Meters.. thanks Marinus Gerst

its crazy..and .its just a little more complex than I described in my first post. If I wouldnt have repeated that dozens of times now I would think it is impossible, but that cant be by chance.... In order to not get that stutter on takeoff I must load a flight or aiframe with a panel state, where those lights are off on loading and then not touch them at all (If I switch them on and then off again I will get the stutter) For several reasons I uninstalled P3D completely this weekend and after reinstalling it I just installed QOTSII as the very only addon. And it still happens....(but not on other aircraft like AS A319 installed afterwards) As I said in my first post. Not a big issue at all, but driving me crazy because I dont understand it Marinus Gerst

I have to correct myself, it seems it doesnt happen at all airports, but at several from FT and also T2G ...(it doesnt for example at eham and cyul)

Hi all, I am coming across some weird thing in P3D v3.4 when I start a flight from an airport wich has apron - floodlights (for example any Fly Tampa or T2G etc.) during daytime, those floodlight are off, as it should be. However when I go flying away from that airport (far enough to make the airport disappear) and then fly back making the airport reload I will find the airport apron floodlights on !! (but not the runway lights !) I even can use the slew function to archieve same effect. It seems no matter which aircraft (also with default) or which airport...... This didnt happen some time before. But I cant trace back which changes to my Installation could have caused that. Actually the only change I did recently was the installation of the new PMDG 747. but I think its quite unlikeley to be caused by that. Any ideas, what could be wrong ??? thanks a lot regards

Steve, I dont have any other PMDG aircraft to compare... My specs are Win7 Pro, I5 4760K @ 3.8 Ghz, GTX 750 Ti, Asus Z97 My settings are low to medium , nothing maxed out except scenery density, only 1280 x 1024 resolution due to my 4:3 screen... Unless in heavy weather I am getting perfect smooth 22-30 fps without stutters with the 747... Marinus Gerst

I am not talking about anybodys fault, just describing what is happening :wink: when I take off with those lights switched off all logic seem to switch perfectly to air mode without producing a stutter (with Lnav , Vnav end everything engaged) So there is a specific problem with those lights (at least on my system). Also the fact that fps drop can be produced even on ground as I described above seems to indicate that. Marinus Gerst

Hi all, first of all I would like to say thank you to the whole PMDG team for this awesome product. I started simming with the FS95 more than 20 years ago and since the very first day I was hoping that one day a 747-400 simulation like the one you now created would become possible... So now that "one day" has come... I just cant believe how good it is in every aspect (it looks great, it sounds great, it feels great, documentation is outstanding etc...) Second I would like to report a little issue I found at least on my system: I observed that I got a systematic stutter (fps drop to 7) a few seconds after liftoff at about 30 feet radio altitude. This stutter did always happen when I did a complete preflight. However sometimes when I just went flying without doing all preflight steps it wouldnt occur. This happened regardless of scenery (default and addon), weather and everything else apart from the airplane (but on all models / liveries that I tested) After several days of testing I could finally isolate the problem: And its surprisingly (at least for me) related to the nav and strobe lights.Whenever I take off leaving both lights off, the stutter wont occur, whenever I take off with both lights on it will. I subsequently also found out that this stutter can be triggered even on the ground by switching both lights on and then back to off. As soon as I switch the second one to off, fps will drop to 7...... Additionally I now observed several youtube videos from other simmers and it seems like it might be happening there as well (for exampel here at 1:14 - 1:15) Can someone else verify that? While its not a problem for me any longer because I just can leave those lights off it might be interesting to look into it.... thanks in advance and regards Marinus Gerst
