PS74

can not speak for P3d, but in FSX it is the only possible way to geht cockpit lightning with some dimable digital lights. Others reported about Frame hit in P3d with this technic. Peter

thank you also from my side for the tip. not a very comfortable solution when on approach with heavy workload. Better solutions by other developers. But okay it is how it is. Peter

Real lights and Glass in FSX? thought that is a P3d only feature. Will take a look. Yes it is a good one but to be honest, I am fit with Majestic, Dash, PMDG 737,777,747,DC6, FSLab320 and all of the A2A stuff so it is possible to do it. Also flew the Maddog 2008 already. But you are right, quite a high level simulation thats true. have a good one Peter

in the future for sure, but at the moment I am still happy with my Direct 10 FSX setup. And I have not OOM or perf. problems with any of my other aircraft ( dozen PMDG, A2A etc. ) and fully ORBX loaded in the US and so on. So, guess this is a maddog issue with the CTD. But you are right, in the future P3d. greetings Peter

ups, okay! that can be the case for it. Did not think about that cause pax and carfo load updates the Aircraft cfg without having the sim loaded. okay I will try it again with running sim. Not today, cause I had my second ctd in the Maddog during climb out an hour ago. getting slowly a bit mad about the aircraft ( load manager, CTD, Sounds, panel lightning FSX etc.) Thank you Peter

Good evening, mmh, guess I am doeing something wrong. Starting load manager as admin, select zero fuel in the tanks, save settings an exit with green dot, starting sim, loading MD and I have all tanks full! a decrease in the ground crew menue is not possible, even no + or - is possible there. If I load the required fuel prior in the load manager that setting is loaded but that is not the purpose of real time refuelling. any suggestions for me. thanks Peter

with start pump on APU start on batteries was good! thanks for the advise. Peter

Good evening, I had my second CTD in FSX during climb out today. Today it was Bozeman Runway 12 and the first time guess it was Gustavo in Alaska. The mad Peter

Ah okay, thank your. I thought the start pump is only related for engine start! will try it later! greetings peter

Good evening, just a quick question, is it possible in the MD to start the APU without additional GPU. I mean, Batterie master on, proper fuel pumps setting and APU master start. I tried it several times, APU starts, EGT and N rotation starting and than a shut down of the APU after prox 20 percent N rotation. Maybe in the real plane not possible, but specially on isolated airfields it should be working. May I do someting wrong? greetings Peter

Thanks! testing tomorrow.

thanks for your replay, I appreciat that and I know you did as good as possible. I do not think that I have a faulty instal concurning the interior lightning, it is so in FSX. May be I am wrong! Your have dimming for ND and PFD WXR and Terrain and for the digital of the MCP, other ones only one dome and one on and off for panel lighting. Dome light is for night flights much to bright and without it specially the overhead is not readable. I notice also no logo lights and if you cut off the plane from elek diveces but with battery on youe have absolut no light! not even a dome or thunderstorm. I know this in real world from the 90 s King Air but there I can use a torch!! sorry For a proper lightning in FSX you do not have to look to PMDG or A2A, look at the TFDI 717. That is possible!

Cockpit Lightning in Fax is absolut poor; First Night flight and only a much to bright Dome light and ohne Panel on oft Switch! Oh Boys Bit I know we are only Fax customers fmc also simplefied. Getting a Bit mad on Ther Product sorry Bit also in holy p3d times a Little more on Fax would be possible so far Not a Player in the Upper Region of publisher it has potention but Not as this time to Not make the devs to mad on me I Retire Now here from the forum peter

Will do so thanks! peter

Hello, may someone can help me about this. in the load manager I select my fuel load and sent it to fsx. in the plane fuel is set correct, so far so good. want to test the refuelling feature so I loaded only 1000 kg in each wing but it is not possible to adjust any further fuel in the refuelling panel and get a real time refuel. greetings Peter

crash to desktop when selecting ACARS weather in FMC, FSX version after update. Settings in the general update set correct. Peter

another FMC issue with FSX, LRC shows sometimes a M 0.83 cruise. How can that be on an Aircraft whos maximum speed is M 0.78? Peter

Good morning Gents, Brakes are working fine after the update! Chapeau and thank you for solving this problem. Did my first flight and all went okay with the brakes. looking forward for a SP! specially mybe a bit of more internal lightning options! 40 panel switches and then only 1 light working,mmh. And it is not more possible in FSX is not true! ( PMDG,A2A )m even sometimes carenado or alabeo!!! Outside engine sound is not good. maybe moving sunshades or an oxygen test would be nice So now I stop with critism. At all it is a very good aircraft and I lik it very much. good work by the devs! at present status maybe a little high at the price side but still worth it! Peter

Simmarket Update available peter

just got a e-mail from simmarket about an update of the maddog! Will test it now!! PIREP is coming.

Good evening, no chance in FSX to get out of this trouble. Tried everything inclusive above mentioned Axis delet and reasignment Tip. This is really some hard coded issue. Is there anyone out here who became the promised hotfix for beta testing and can tell us some about the ongoeing? getting mad slowly cause there is also no statement from leonardo anymore. Is there a refund option for the plane. It would be fair cause it is not working for quite a lot of people. goeing back to the 717 again! also not perfect yet but FLY and TAXIABLE. The angry puppy now instead of the maddog! Peter

Good day Gentlemen, interesting to hear, first P3d customer with the same problem. That was my approach on the issue too, it has nothing to do with the CTRL+- parking brake assignment but with the axis assignment for the left and right brakes. CH and Saitek rudders. Reasigning the brake axis is a good idea, I will give it a try but no other changes will be done there. I have a plenty of good addons ( PMDG,A2A, Majestic and so on ) and I am not interested to get some other problems with these plane. The developers do a quite good job here in the support section and I think they will get rid off this problem but as I mentioned already, this should not apear with a nearly 70 Euro priced aircraft. This issue had to be seen due to Beta Testing. And to hear " we have thousands of customers, only 10 to 15 with the problem " is a sentence I only no in terms of lousy aerosoft product. Since Tuesday I am a first minute customer of the for me so called " wishtoflythemaddog X " and the problem was known from the beginning on. I do not think that we get an update this weekend. Specially not via Simmarkete cause they are also not known as the fastest guys. No stuff at weekends so this will be monday or tuesday. Very Sad but we promised to be patient. As you can read it is hard!!! Good look to the devs for the troubleshooting Peter

Thank you for working on the problem, brake issue in my opinion most important. See it on my point of view thats true, but this is an issue that makes the software not usuable, all others are fine tuning things for a proper operation. Helping people with low end hardware is fine, but a bit in everyones personal choice to buy modern software for FSX with an old system. A little risky. Hopefully there will be a soon solution for all problems. Peter

Hello Mr Michelle thank you for taking care about the issue, I am not able to count how many users have the problem or not but what I have read in the threats here there are quite al ot and with crowing community i am sure they will get more. i am also sure that you will find a solution! I am not a programer or technical educated but in my opinion it has something to do with the re-assignment of the standard brake combination CTRL+. for brake set or realese. this is a essential command you need for nearly any FSX plane somehow so I think maybe not the best to switch it to sime other maddog internal setting. also bad to have no opportunity to change it back without getting danger to loose some other maybe important assignment. but it is a sad issue. okay but i will be patient and wait for a possible fix. Again, critic where it must be but also thumbs up for your team for a promising long missing plane. i flew the old maddog already. sincerely peter

same here, look at the other threats consurning this problem. No solution yet. Maybe change your rudder neutral zone or sensitivity but as I can read only a solution for one or two prepared users. Peter
