Hello. Purchased the 64Bit version of the Maddog and enjoying her. It's nice to have an aircraft that requires pilot attention throughout all phases of flight. One thing I did notice is that the Maddog is quite frisky on the ground. With throttles at idle, the a/c begins to taxi and it can reach speeds of up to 20+ knots. As I said, this is with my throttles at idle. I am unsure if I have overlooked a setting somewhere or possible my joystick/throttles are getting old. However, I would like to add that I am not experiencing this issue lets say for example, the PMDG 737 NGX. Any feedback/suggestions/tips from the community would be greatly appreciated.…

Hi, I like the view manager (shift+1), but I don't like the way it stole the F9-F12 default view change keys. Does anyone know a way to liberate the captive F keys whilst retaining the usability of the view manager? Thanks Nick

As per title, all my dimmers are not functioning for any panels (overhead, main panel, CP panel, pedestal), except for the digits. The dome light does work with insufficient intensity even at max settings. Storm lighting is not working either. I am using Windows 10 Home, P3Dv4.2, i7 8700K (OC 4.7), 32 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070 latest drivers. True Light was shown as successfully installed. Can you please shed some... light on this problem? Thank you.

Hi, I recently bought the Mad dog 2018 and i am very happy (When brakes works). Im not familiar with the FSX/Maddog organisation specially for the routes. I cant save routes and probably load with the FMC(i follow the procedure) and dont know where they are stored. Thanks for your help because i lose to much time to write the route. Bruno

Hi all, Anticipating FlyTampa's offering, but in the meantime, is there a freeware KBOS for P3Dv4.1 that has runway 14/32 open for departures only? TIA, sg

I tried to do a Flaps 6 takeoff today, as demonstrated in the KATL-KMEM flight posted on YouTube. However, I got a Flaps warning on takeoff, and had to revert to a flaps 11 takeoff. Here is what I did. 1. Set 6 in the TO Flaps Selection Window 2. Entered 6 in the Take Off Trim Computer 3. Prior to Taxi, set the flaps to the "0" detent. Then on takeoff, the dreaded flaps warning. Did I miss something? Thanks,

i'm not seeing the usual ground returns when the wx radar is set to operate in 'map' mode. 'wx' display mode works with active sky. went back to the 'classic maddog' on fs9 and i saw ground returns in the 'map' mode. any ideas?

N2 dry motors on both engines to 24% without apu or start valve open. Happens right away. This is from cold and dark and ready to start panel states as well as one I saved.

Hi all, Not a big problem. Something for a next service update. If you activate the Cold&dark in the Loadmanager the full levers are in the On position. The off position is the correct postion in Cold & Dark. When you use the Cold&Dark in the Add-ons the fuel levers are in the Off postions. So the correct position. Add info: on this side No brake problems at all. (I'm using Brunner Hardware) Regards Jo va Bra

Should I switch from Nav to Approach when in autopilot for a WAAS RNAV (GPS) approach or is it only to be used in ILS approaches? Thanks, Dennis

Hi guys! Just to let everyone know that the paintkit its now available http://www.flythemaddogx.com/en/media.html

I have P3d V4.1 and Orbx Global Base, Land class and Vector installed. Plus various Orbx scenery FTX Globals. Can they coexist with MSE? Thank You. Bill McCracken

I have done a couple of flights with the initial version and the wx radar was working fine. Today I installed the latest release and the Wx does not seem to work. I am in MAP mode, pressing PWR on the WX radar does nothing, no tilt inidication, no test pattern when test is pressed. Anyone else sees the same? Using latest AS as well.

I am away on extended snowbirding trip down south. I was just trying to catch up on recent sim news finding out there is a new update for P3D V4. I am seeing many treads about issues of every description, scenery, planes etc. When I left home in Jan3 my P3D V4 and all its updated addons were working well....but it appears that stuff is broken AGAIN! Is this true? What's broken? Is doing the update worth it at this time? Any short comments would be appreciated Bryan

Hello! I just bought the 64bit version of the plane. But when I load it in to the sim all panels are black and I can't click on any button. The install and registration went all fine. can someone please help? Thanks, Max

Anyone else think the text backlighting makes everything look a bit fuzzy? Or is it just the 2048 textures?

Hi, I know an updated soundpack is currently in development as shown on the TSS Facebook page, but has anybody tried the TSS MD-8X soundpack made for FSX in the maddogx for v4? I think it would be worth it to atleast give us better sound immersion while waiting for the updated one.

Will the product be sold on any other site other than simmarket? Like maybe fspilotshop?

Hi, here is a nice video with some ins and outs of the MD80: Kind regards, Ben

After going through the forums I noticed that there are several items that don’t work and plan to be updated during SP1. Items like the JoyStick/Keyboard events, thunderstorm light switch, etc, items I have come across that aren’t working. I was about to put in a ticket myself for these items. To save on everyone putting in tickets for know items can some kind of change log be added? I know other devs have started doing this to let users know what is still being addressed.

This started this morning, worked fine last night. When I am sitting on the ground, loading up the flight plan in the FMC. When I go to dep/arr. I load the dep no problem. When I click ARR beside the arrival airport...... It CTD. P3dv4 Thanks

I noticed that my AI is using moving jetways at my payware airports. I always thought (for FPS purposes) they never did that. I remember when I use to UT it had an option to turn off moving jetways for AI, but not that I use freeware AI how can I turn off moving jetways? Thanks you!!

Hello community, after applying the hotfix the load manager does not update the load & fuel in the aircraft. I tried all scenarios. With/without admin rights, p3d running/not running. Always stuck to max fuel and max tow inside the simulator. Does anyone have a idea to solve this problem ? Thanks a lot ! Daniel

Is it possible? I went under events and set the toggle yoke to a keyboard shortcut but it doesn't hide the yoke.

For some reason, the Thunderstorm lights are not working in my maddog. All of the individual flood, panel, and dome lights work, just not the Thunderstorm light.
