Hi! A few questions about how to handle an engine failure during takeoff (after V1). Yesterday I armed a engine failure after V1, manually climbed 1500ft and engaged autopilot but I noticed that I cannot engage autothrottle. Is that normal? Should the autothrottle not be used under any engine failure conditions? How about the landing weight? Would it be normal policy to land the aircraft in an engine failure (not engine fire) occured after takeoff if you are a bit abowe max weight? Say 5000-6000lbs. Or should you circle around to burn fuel with one engine since the 737 has no fuel dump capability? Thanks! Kaj Ekström

If I have service based failures enabled and do not have the default panel state as "previous flt" but instead for example cold and dark, does it "reset" the failure probability counter (i dont know what to call it..) so that it equals a situation where I am handed aaircraft that has been just serviced? I cant have the "previous flt" enabled as I am using fs2crew voice ed and they do not recommend it...:-( Thanks! Kaj Ekström

Hello, I was wondering if systems emergencies are modeled on PMDG 737NG (electrical, hydraulic, pressurization etc.). It would be nice to know before I buy.

Skippers, by watching at some of the videos on youtube, I see quite a few NON-NORMALs (with associated checklists - [] icon) popping out on the EICAS. Anyone willing to expand on the FAILURES (sys failures, eng fail, instrument failures and so on) this 777 can simulate, if any? And, if there are failures to simulate, can you set the ones you want (or just random failures) to happen when you want them to? That would be awesome Thanks

Hello. This is the first time I have ever posted on this forum. I am actully in need of some assistance. I have MS FSX. I am playing it on Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro through Bootcamp. The issue i have encountered is that when I am flying a plane (or just looking at it), the camera is very laggy and when I move the camera, the camera moves slowly. What is even more annoying is that in slew mode, the camera works fine! I am not sure what is going on, but please help! Aron

I have recently experienced a problem with the 737NGX pressurization system, entirely my fault: The Pressurization Mode Selector (ironically, PMS) on the Digital Cabin Pressure Control System (DCPCS) was set to Manual. On my initial overhead scan, I completely missed the "MANUAL" light (perhaps because it was green), and continued on. About 3500 meters up, I encountered what sounded like the takeoff configuration aural warning, obviously sparking some confusion. About 5000 up, and the Master Caution appeared, along with "AIR COND" on the Flight Director's recall. Initially, I thought something was wrong with just that -- the air conditioning. I tried tweaking a few knobs, but nothing seemed to work. Then, I looked up at the upper overhead and saw "PASS OXY ON." Uh oh. It clicked then, I had a pressurization error! I had not even thought of it due to the similarities between the Takeoff Configuration aural warning and the Pressurization aural warnings. Since then, I have done a bit more research on the pressurization system in 737s, and noticed a very similar incident to mine: Helios 522. Following that incident, Boeing added a "CABIN ALTITUDE" warning on panels P1 and P3 of the 737, as shown: My question is: Why doesn't the PMDG 737NGX have these lights? Shown below is the current configuration of panel P3: Is there the possibility of these lights being added to clarify an already bad situation?
