Hello How is the IRS aligned in the Maddog X I cannot see an IRS alignment setting on the overhead panel Clive Alexander

Hello. I did full v4.2 install and I have no addon installed yet. I was thinking to install all ORBX products first starting with Global and Vector but I am not sure if it is a good time do so. In ORBX support forum it says that they released FTX Central v3.2.5.4 to Fastlane users for now which is a beta version. I wonder if I install ORBX now it may create a mess, or I'd better wait till FTX Central v3.2.5.4 will come out of beta. Thanks

Hi Captains ! That's a fact we already have a fligh manager with the maddog. It works pretty fine and I like it a lot. However I like to understand myself the aircraft. I mean, before I blindly trust any automated calculator. Therefore instead of jumping into the plane, I studied documentation. This is the way I first get a big picture and learn a new aircraft limitations. At first sight performance chapter lacks a convenient "trip fuel and time table" in the available documentation from Leonardo as well as from Boeing, in contrast with other flight manuals for other types. To my taste I missed EPR values and more runways limitation tables. But I made …

Hi all, Am I the only one who's packs heating isn’t working (and it is freezing cold where I am). I have the APU running, air is on and the packs are on auto, but the temps keep going down and the cabin is complaining. Cockpit temp is 5 degrees Celsius. 😫 Any advice? Jos.

I noticed the two mirrors are on the dash but when you pop them up there blank. I look behind the pilots seats and don't see a compass. I take it this was not modeled on this version?

As the title says, I just bought the FSL A320 a few moments ago and after a short test flight, I have to say it really is something incredible! I’ll have to start pouring over the tutorials tomorrow on how to fly it, and spend many hours in the pattern retraining my Boeing flying style, but man am I excited to do so! My only regret so far is not buying it sooner, it is that good! Feels so bad cheating on my Boeing’s but at the same time it feels oh so right!

Is there a trick to get the Auto Throttle to work. When it is engaged it blows right through the airspeed bug.

Though my sim seems to run smoother, I’ve noticed that I am getting my nigh5 lighting to pop up more often as well as autogen close to my plane. I havent changed settings. Anyone else noticing this? My settings are a little right of mid for the most part. My pc specs are below. This happens with or without dynamic lighting. I run orbx US without vector, payware airports, pmdg or fslabs, black marble vector and base (these seem to shimmer in the distance), active sky, sky force. Anyone else getting this and know what I can adjust? Win10, Gigabyte Aorus Z270x Gaming 5, LGA 1151, Intel 7th Gen Core i7 7700K (4.7GHz Overclock) Quad Core, Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid…

Hi all, Is there a fix for this problem ? Most of the time, while looking around in spot view (in VC too), the cloud shadows disappears at some angles. If I pans back cloud shadows reappears again. I am running P3Dv3.4. I had the same problem in P3Dv3.3 too. thanks ! Mike

Hi, I've just completed my first flight at night and can work out the lighting for the overhead panel, the MCP panel, the centre pedestal, the Captain and FO panel - but not the centre forward panel where the engine displays, backup instruments etc are. Where are the switches for this panel? Everything else is lit except for this dark patch in the middle. Thanks

I have a 32 inch 4k monitor and the load manager screen is tiny, about 4.5 x 5 inch. Extremely difficult to read anything. Is there any way to at least double the size? Thanks so much. Bernd

I am not sure if this is related to the other post about framerates and disabling the TFDI stuff or not. When it loads up and I start down the runway everything is smooth and then about 8-10 mins in, I start to get bad studdering.

Has anyone downloaded this yet? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Also, I don't see it on Imaginesim's site and when I go to where I bought the previous version, there is nothing that indicates the download being the latest release. Please advise. Thanks!

i enter my email and my purchase code/reg key provided, the serial number seems to autopopulate....but the register button is grayed out....what the heck is the enable key? help!

Does anyone know why Pilotedge was offline yesterday evening? I was t aware of any issues. Thanks.

I was on approach and needed to deviate from the STAR and when I tried to dial in a new HDG the dial would not turn for some reason. Reloaded the aircraft after landing and it worked.

Hi all! Just another update on our P3D v4 exclusive; KGPI. Lots of screenshots to show off this time! For all of them, check out our site: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/kgpi-glacier-park-international-airport-approaching-beta/ Here's a few preview shots! Hope you're liking what you see! Thanks, Russ

I can do the PA/Light test, but nothing else, no prep for takeoff/landing or anything. I'm probably missing a switch somewhere...

Does the engine fire test works? I tried pushing both mouse buttons as in the previous version, push each mouse button, and nothing. Do I miss something?

Hi, I've always loved the Maddog and flew it quite a bit in FS9 and 10. I have the Maddog X but haven't had the chance to really get into it yet. Just wondering: Wasn't there an aircraft state menu choice in the Load Manager, along with "Cold and Dark', "Ready to Start" and "Ready to Fly" called "User Settings" or something like that? In other words, a setting where the user can setup his/her own scenario and save it? I ask because I normally like to start my scenarios parked at the gate, with power on the aircraft but, instead of running the APU, the aircraft is getting it's power from a gpu or a direct connection to the terminal through the air bridge…

Is there a paint kit anywhere for this aircraft? Would love to make a livery for this beautiful bird!
