Hi, I want to make a mission. I'm from Belgium, we speak Dutch and French and German, and most of the people can speak English. So I want to start my mission with a language menu: 1 Nederlands, 2 French, 3 German, 4 English. If the player choose English, He push buttom 4, an I write "4" in a scenario variable. So good so far. Everytime I want to play a message, it should be in the correct language. So I must check the scenario variable. If it is 2, I play a French message... code: if L=1 then play dutch.wav if L=2 then play french.wav ...... And there I have a problem. I do not find how to program that. Anyone …

How do you silence the autopilot disconnect alarm after landing. This is very annoying? I am using the new Maddog80X on P3D

Hello Madddog-Devs, I contacted you some weeks ago regarding LINDA support via Facebook. Until now, I get an error message when I try to contact you again via FB messenger. I then tried via your support e-mail, but I have read that it probably won't get forwarded. So, my last hope is, that we could get in contact again this way. Please write me a PM where I can contact you about the LINDA support if you are still interested. many thanks, Günter

I make a new thread to share some results I have found so far regarding MD80 routes from former and few current European Operators, so its easier for people to come and find some destinations to fly in Europe. I In USA there is fortunately still Delta and American, with multiple current routes, so I think we should fill the gap for Europe to find destinations for the amazing MDX for us to fly. For me it is important to fly realistic routes to fully enjoy the simulation of the amazing MaddogX. I will be updating this post for routes that I find. Anyone who knows or have data for more routes is welcome to pm me or write here and I will update the post. SAS …

Hey guys Loving the bird.... its been a fun challenge converting back to the MD from the 717. I got a problem with starting from Cold & Dark. I get a looping "starter" sound. Someone mentioned this on the facebook group but I did not see a solution. It plays the entire starter sound file and then starts over. I've tried spawning with a default aircraft first, spawning with default aircraft shut down, trying the old "press Q" trick to kill out a stuck sound. But there it remains, sitting at the gate, battery off.....with a jet starter sound looping endlessly. Thoughts?

Hey everyone, First all, congrats to Leonardo SH team for this awesome addon, it's for sure THE must have of early 2018 ! But - because there's always a but - I found out after my first flight that some parts of the model could be improved: -First, the most obvious one..wingflex ! On the addon, the wings seem flat or a bit toward ground during the complete flight. IRL, wingflex is really more pronounced as seen below (sorry flatearthers, you see the curve ) Then, there's the flaps animations, not much to say aside from the fact it's not smooth at all compared to the other surfaces And last but not least; the virtual cockpit height, it was somethin…

Hello, Will 4.2 accept and use new atc_callsigns in vcpmod format? Thanks in advance

Great add on, however after installation I am unable to either tune radios or use the MCP panel. Example: nothing happens whenever I try to change an altitude or heading. Help!!!

Good morning, I must say I am very pleased with the performance of the plane. I do have one issue though, the VC panel (entire screen) seems to flicker at unknown intervals. Its more of a flash then a flicker if I am being honest. Am I the only one who sees this?

I was wondering if there is a way to fix the ActiveSky window (ctrl-f11) when activated. Only in the Maddog does it go full screen and I have to keep resizing it. I noticed it did this on a few Twitch streams today. Anyway to get the window to keep it's size? It only does this on the MD.

Anybody buy this one yet? Thought they'd be more talk on the boards regarding experience with the product. I never owned the original but heard great things about this one.

Hi community, i´ve expierenced now two times, that the access door won´t close. After that i´m not able to engage GEN1 & GEN2. It happened both times at a stand were no push back is required. After reading the manual i triggered the internal push back to see if the "ramp agent" closes the door after the procedure, but no luck. Is there a way to close this door by myself ? Thank a lot, Daniel

I'm trying to fly BWI-ATL, I got a waypoint KATL that is stuck after TEEMS, and I can't get rid of it. It won't go away. I've tried moving FLASK up to the proper place, and it insists on flying direct to KATL.

Just purchased the Captain Sim757 for p3d4. Everything works except the speed knob won’t allow setting of any speed. Every other MCP knob works fine. Hoping maybe someone else knows how to fix this. Thanks, Jim

For external view on my home made cockpit I use three screens with eyefinity and wideview aspect enabled When I operate jetways they are not rendered correct during closing and detaching When detached they seem to be ok (see photos) https://www.dropbox.com/s/ktkjzrlexu0gm70/detached.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/j90txgyz0yghcqx/detached WIDE.jpg?dl=0 When attached they seem not to be scaled for wideview (see photos) https://www.dropbox.com/s/uc0q55barej9zjo/attached.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/a0waizvg9b20mvp/attached WIDE.jpg?dl=0 During motion for attaching and detaching the graphics are messed …

Having controller problems that I can't fix since 4.2. Want to try revert back, but can't find 4.1. Revert back just client ?

Hello, Truly beautiful simulation - a big thanks! Please can you advise where the basic user manual and AOM are saved after install. Is there a tutorial flight? Thanks in anticipation. Andrew

Hello! FSX SE version - a one question. Are these number of the weights correect: DOW = 38175 kg MZFW = 55338 kg MTOW = 67812 kg MLW = 58967 kg Passanger = 166 Cargo Capasity = 6892 kg Fuel Capasity = 16755 kg Thank You Rolf

Hi, I know the minimum specs state a 2 GB video card, but is there any chance it will run in FSX with a 1 GB card? My card manages the PMDG 777 and 747 v3 very well so I had been hoping it would handle the new Maddog. I flew the previous version endlessly in FS9 and I'd love to buy the new one, but I just can't afford both the plane and a new video card at the moment. Paul

I installed the Maddog X and i'm getting realy low FPS. I saw some topic on this yesterday, so i tried some solutions mentioned there, uninstalled / reinstalled without true lights / true glass. It helped just a bit, but still a slideshow. My P3D settings are modest, i'm not using DL. So, i checked what happens with my system when using this plane, and i discovered it uses almost all of my RAM - i have only 8GB, and it uses well over 7GB. That's almost double vs FSL A320 which was my heaviest addon regarding RAM usagge(with FSL, arround 5 - 5.5 GB is used). I belive this is the reason for a low FPS i'm getting, it's unflyable for me. I find this figure realy too high, com…

I am new to P3D and just installed V4. Just wondered if anyone knows of a recommended P3D V4 Nvidia Inspector Setting? This AVSIM site has a really great guide for Nvidia Inspector settings for FSX which I have used with awesome results and was hoping to find something for P3D V4.

Hello guys, amazing work you guys have done here.. The are a few things I think that could be improved.. 1- The flaps animation are a litle laggy.. It should be more fluid. Looks like it's moving on frames. 2- I've noticed that the parking brake sound is missing. That lever is kind of noisy on the real plane.. TFDI did it really good on their 717. Also in this matter of sounds, the external sounds are not on pair with the terrific internal ones. On outside views the plane is too quiet.. There is already another post on this forum about it. 3- The load manager is perfectly usable but it should be more like the new add-ons of today.. Something inside the sim,…

Hi all, do you know where can i fine a full comprehensive tool that one can manage all his sceneries for P3Dv4? i am not talking only about scenery.cfg, but also supports the addon.cfg, add-on.xml files (both in the scenery folder and the %programData%) and consolidate them all into one management view? "SceneryConfigEditor", the latest version I couldn't find a way to manage both scenery.cfg and add-on.xml in consolidated view (or at all), so it doesn't meet the needs.

Hello there, Refueling panel is not working in my sim as I can not change fuel. The first flight I was able to change quantity per tank with the mouse but now is not changing. I tried several times, with sim open and sim closed. No antivirus, no defender and selected load manager as admin. Apart from that, when I change fuel in Load Manager, when I save and then select update from cfg it changes but immediately changes again to the initial quantity that is more. Is it normal that if the ZFW button is pressed it remains inside and no goin back to out position? Sometimes if I press quickly it changes again but if I press one second or more it stays insid…

Hi, I thought I'd read somewhere (Facebook?) that owners of previous Maddog versions would be offered an extra discount but there only seems to be a flat 7% on Simmarket? Is the loyalty discount not happening now? Cheers James
