Hi, I can't seem to locate a Korean Airlines 747-400 livery. Anyone know where and if not when?Thanks,Ken

Hi Folks !I just had to format my computer and i am now back on. i forgot the free page where you can find and create routes for long haul flights.At that page, you just gave the ICAO code from your Dept and Arr. City in and the page generated your flight path including SID, STARS.Can you give me some homepages. 2) The aircraft starts rolling although i have it on idle - what shall i do.Thanks viennaman

I'm having problems with LNAV veering off course for no apparent reason:I've been running the 4-4 type rating lesson flying from Phoenix to LA. Everything goes fine through takeoff to establishing cruise. Along the way I am using LNAV to track the horizontal course. During the cruise, LNAV is tracking the magenta course line perfectly, and then during a segment without any upcoming turns or banks, LNAV suddenly banks the aircraft and veers way off course! I disconnect the A/P, fly it back in line with the magenta line, then re-engage LNAV and A/P. It tracks for a little while, then veers way off course again. At these moments I am touching absolutely nothing, and up until…

Page 2-8 Cruise and Fuel Planning (PMDG)Distance: interpolate time and fuel ex: 5400@fl410 equals 11:15 and 104,100kgs.How did they come precisely to this figure?Are there any more detailed charts ready to use with all intermediate trip lenght like 6900-7000-7100 etc...?Thanks for your attentionRegardsRakhamToshiba Satellite P4 3.4 Ghz1536 DDR RAM nVidia GeForce FXWinXP Home on the road andPIV 3.4Ghz, 1536 DDR RAM, ATI Radeon 9700 WinXP PROYoke & Pedals CH Products at home

I saw this pic on airliners and i noticed the comment. When did Delta operate MD-11's or DC-10's? The dbase has no other Delta MD's.http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0222671/L/

Hi everybody, i need your help,

Hi,Just bought myself a new FS rig and reinstalled everything and now when in the 2D panel of the 738 everything in the panel is a bit blurred and hard to read, especially the small text like the altimeter values.I'm running in 1280x960x32 using an Asus EAX1900XTX with 4x AA and 16x AF and mipmap at the 'High' setting and with the latest drivers.Anyone...?

Hi captains,suppose it's Christmas and you can order a high-end Gaming-PC to make the optimum FSX-DirectX10-Vista-PMDG744-online-gaming-machine (price/performance which is sufficient). Don't want to buy a CRAY!I'll use FS2Crew and will fly at VATSIM.What ingredients would you use? The only things I have so far are two 19" TFT-monitors, a MS-Force feedback 2, a plantronics-headset and TrackIR. OK and a 4GB SDSL-connection.regards,Volker

When I fly the 747 and pass the first waypoint the plane does continue to the second. However the navigation display still displays the first waypoint. After crossing the second waypoint the plane returns to the first. How do I correct this to have the plane continue on?

I'am new to PMDG 747-400 and just about ready to cross the pond from heathrow to JFK but i don't see a flight plan for this route in the PMDG flightplan folder. Like i say i'am new to this, is there a place where i can find this route or update the folder any advice and help would be gratefull

Am I just crazy or is the stick shaker sound a little bizzare? I dont know exactly how to describe it, but it sounds a little odd. Is that the correct sound?Thanks

Hi what is the course for on the 737? and what is the diffrence from thatand heading ?

This is NOT about soundset relsease dates!Hi all,ASIDE, from missing exterior sounds and lack of realism complaints you all have, my comment is regarding sound crackling or static when throttling up or down.The problem is the PMDG sound processor in the panel.cfg and the 744 configuration settings. Simply put, this processor controls all the button-clicking and packs/apu noises and general panel sounds. Meanwhile, your sound folder where your engine sounds are located controls just the engine noises and all other regular airplane noises. The problem? These two don't mix! The PMDG sound processor causes the crackling of the engine sounds. Otherwise I am quite satisfied wit…

Hi Am I missing something or is there no 747-400 pax forSingapore Airlines?thanksa3ifs40

Hi is there any pattern to predict the runway ?f.ex runway 35 and 17can i watch the wind or anything to figure out what runway is in use?so basicly, what factor play when runways are chosen?

Now that I am in college, there isn't really an awful lot of time to fly. I haven't flown in almost 2 and a half weeks. My last flight was from Newark, NJ to Lisbon, Portugal. An overnighter that left at 10pm like the real flight. I figured it was my last flight for the summer so go all out right? I always remember this flight and it was wonderful. So what have you all been up to? Any good pics, flights, expericnces, share with me I am going through MSFS withdrawl lol.Alex

It's already 2 weeks that i have the aircrafts of PMDG (the 737-600&700) on my FS but still, i don't know how to fly it in GPS mode. and i also find it very hard to figure it out what's the NAV hold and GPS or NAV in the PMDG aircrafts because in the others it's very easy to fly a flight when it's planned in a flight plan in VFR. so can anybody of you teach me how to fly it with the GPS and NAV mode?

For some reason the THR and SPD lights do not illuminate even with A/T armed. Any ideas?Ron

HiWherever I get my TP from, be it Planepath or Navdata, I get the error LEBL err: CLE unknown.I have used several versions of the LEBL file from various AIO collections and it happens on every one in both the 737 and the 747. Has anyone got one that works they would like to share?ThanksBill

Hi everyone and thanx in advance for your attention!I have installed the 737 ng and I've a problem:the fmc don't sign correct vertical speed for the takeoff...I mean I have done any passage correctly, I set all weight parameters but the fmc don't return on the screen the vertical speed so I can't prepare a correct takeoff.Someone can help me?HaPpo

New Questions on thie same thread,Some other questionsOne the way down i usually place the alt value lower ( 0 ) than the calculated alt in the fms BEFORE the TOD circle . In this way the plane follows the vnav for alt-fix values, Does anyone else do this?Any other methods to ensure the plane follows the vnav path on the way down to the intial approach fix.. Sometimes when atc give you a restriction you need to go to the fms and insert the alt and lsk it, The fms will recalc.the v-path, would you then hit vnav or use the flc and enter the fmc , What is everyones preference.also, another little glitch. Several times, on autoland I am lined up and I push Loc then App,, but …

Hi,I recently reinstalled my OS and Flightsim. I then installed the Beech 1900D from the original download, I then went to apply SU1_1 and received a message that I had to install version 1 first. Version 1 is installed and flyable, any ideas as to what has gone wrong?Regards

I purchased the C&H Quad Throttle, it went on the fritz so I disconnected it. I had a problem with the yokes throttle, it would not close until I pushed it wide open then quickly closed it. So I moved it's sensitivity slider about 1/16" from the low end. I figured their was noise or whatever that was preventing the sim from detecting the throttle was fully closed.I then landed at LAX 25L and turned off at the end of the runway only to meet head on with another airliner, held my position to allow it to turn left onto it's takeoff runway.I noticed a roaring sound while holding my position. Checked back to cockpit view and saw the reversers were deployed. A slight push c…
