PMDG Turboprops (Legacy Versions)

I got this plane this week as an early Christmas present to myself and I find the process to load it really annoying. To load it cold and dark I have to: 1. Load a default flight (C172) 2. Load the J41 tutorial flight 3. Move the J41 to the departure airport Are these the correct steps or am I doing something wrong?

Well, still haven't managed to take off the JS completely from Dark & Cold because the engines flame out either right at startup or at the moment I advance the throttle to begin taxi. Until there no joy. If on the other hand I just start my simulation with engine running I have no flame out problems, just configure the rest and I can start taxiing and take off, go through cruise... But then... either earlier in the simulation I get problems with random flickering of parts of the screen (only with the JS41) or sometime during flight the simulator crashes. Apparently FSX doesn't like if you go around zooming/panning/clicking, if you do then the dreadful "waiting…

I am preparing an aircraft profile for my flight planner and need some specs from the JS41 that I haven't found anywhere yet... Vle = Landing Gear max speed Vx = Best angle of climb speed Vy Best rate of climb speed Vne Never Exceed speed Vmc Min Control speed Also need some performance data Climb speed Fuel flow @typical climb (gallons/hr) Fuel flow @typical taxi (gallons/hr) Descent fuel flow (I think recommended speed is 190kts) Thanks!

Hi I have only encountered this problem after recently formatting my C: drive and reinstalling windows, FSX, and all my addons, but about 50% of the time when I switch to NAV mode, the JS41 will ignore the LNAV route and turn to 360 degrees. I have the navigation display set to LNV and can see the programmed route, but the autopilot takes no notice. Entering a direct to routing into the FMC does nothing. NAV mode still seems to work in VOR/LOC mode and all other autopilot functions work as expected, just seems like the LNAV route isn't getting through to the autopilot for some reason. I have only had this problem twice out of four flights since my reinstall, the other t…

Is it possible to map a button to the J41 Ground spoiler? It would have been so easy, if PMDG had mapped the standard FSX Arm Spoiler key command for this function :(

How does reduced take-off work? and what is the function of the set torque button? And the apr button? I cant find a good answer in the manuals. Maybe someone could explain them in normal language? Thanks for reading

I have just purchased the PMDG Jet Stream and after a succesful Install When I start FSX and then select the aircraft FSX fatal error and shuts down any help out there why as no other aircraft do this. I have a AMD 4100 3.6 Quad core 8 Gb DDR Ram 2gb NVIDA Graphics card Windows 7

This is not a query on the PMDG product JS41, as it is, in its own nature, a simply perfect simulation jewell. My question is on the real life FD system designed for this aircraft and many others. Why not select ALT SEL automatically whenever the pilot change the altitude selector? Maybe there is a logic behind the action in this FD electronic innards, but I cannot think why not turn ALT SEL on automatically. Is there a reason for a pilot who changes the ALT to 3000 and apply a VS any other than go to 3000? Regards, Heron

Hello. I changed my computer last year. I reinstalled FSX and all the addons connected. I have the PMDG 747, the MD11 and the JS4100. With the latter I can not fly any more because I do not recognize the license key. All panels off. What should I do? order 151629 code NLR6231268995 Thanks for help Carlo Merli

Just out of curiosity as I wanna do some j41 flying again can anyone suggest some nice routes for this craft. Cheers Paul

Does anyone know why panning with the hat switch when using FSUIPC instead of FSX for joystick control is slow with the J41 both in the VC and spot views? It works fine for the NGX and MD-11. Thanks.

When I go into the FSX Aircraft fuel and payload manager to reduce the fuel for flight it always goes back to 100% when I get back in the A/C. I tried many times to be sure things were correct. It will stay at the selected load for a second then go to full tanks. The last time I selected 0 in both tanks and it stayed long enough to kill the engines then went to full tanks. Any ideas? Thanks, Ron

Hi, Just purchased the J41. I have Saitek rudder pedals are not working correctly, when I operate them the pedals in the plane just shake up and down. I have checked in settings and they are correctly assigned. Ideas appreciated Regards Tim

Can anyone tell me whether in the real-world Jetstream 4100, the toe brakes need to be held down while setting the parking brake or only the lever needs to be pulled ?

I have tried searching the forums on this problem. My J41 started a problem yesterday where I can't power up the Avionics unless the Ground Unit is attached. I am sure that when I first got this model it did. And I have read you can start the plane on the Batteries, Battery Condition is 25.5 when I load a fresh aircraft and not a saved file. Thanks in advance. Charlie G.

Hello Guys, The js41 is a great plane ! I love it !! So my problem is in the download version gives not a german tutorial. I can english but 98 pdf pages is to hard for me. So i search in google and many guys wrote the german pdf tutorial gives only on the DVD BOX version. So can anybody send me the german tutorial PDF ? pls cheers -Christian

Hi guys, I've got a strange problem with my right propeller. After I have started up the left engine and look out the right window in order to check if the right propeller is unfeathered, the propeller is rotating although the engine is not started yet. And it can't be windmilling either, because from an outside view, the propeller does not move. Now, it's pretty hard to check the feathered/unfeathered state of a rotating propeller. Has anyone encountered this and can provide some hints on how to solve this? Thanks in advance, Stefan

I seem to have an issue with the J4100 while using the x52 pro joystick and throttle. I really think the issue is in the x52 but wanted to see if anyone else has an issue like this. Simply put, the condition lever will return to taxi position during flight...needless to say this causes catastrophic loss of the airplane. I am running windows 7 64 bit, fsx with acceleration pack, and a new registered copy of fsuipc. This only seems to happen with the J41, not with any of the other turbo props in fsx. I set up my latest test with my old trusty CH products yoke, no additional joystick or rudder pedals. Everything seemed to be going normal, so I plugged in the usb connec…

Recently purchased this great product. Have read many concerns re loud engine sound in cockpit but my problem is very quiet external sounds. Cockpit engine sound loud but spot plane sound unrealistically quiet. Any advise please?

I was thinking in a spim/spzo flight but I found an altitude limitation in tha AOM. Permisible landing/takeoff at 8000feet. Given the Alejandro Velasco Astete 10.860 elevation( SPZO) I dont even bother try it........right?

Hello, I just bought the J-41 off the PMDG website. When i went to run the installer, I got a message about 2 seconds after i started the installer saying setup.exe error. Iv installed the PMDG 737 about a year ago and that ran fine. Im running Window's 8 x64, can anyone help me figure this issue out? I can supply order number if needed! Josh!

Climb performance? When ever I am climbing out say at 13000 to 21K , I do alright until I have to turn on de-icing then no power... even if I am at 21K and at around 220 knots... turn on anti-ice and I slow to 150knots... Is this right?

I hopped into the Jetstream after not even thinking about it for quite a while, and I noticed that the taxi and landing lights don't seem to do anything at all. I can't remember, should they light up the ground? I know it isn't supposed to look like the NGX, but should it do something?

Hello I have a problem with FMS in JS 4100 the FMS WILL NOT OPEN when on button pushed. Could someone send suggestions about what might cause the problem I simultaneusly use GNS 350 Plane works perfectly otherwise. Thanks in advance George
