PMDG 777

Hi gents, From day 1 and even after SP1 (and updates) I'd been suffering the same dreaded pauses (sim freezes from 5 up to 10 mins., after which it continues from where the pause started, but with fuel burned) some other people reported. On longer flights (longer than 6 hrs.) they would vary from 3 up to 5 pauses per flight. It never was a real show-stopper for me and sure didn't keep me from enjoying this magnificent bird, but it was annoying. Now the strange thing is that since the last number of flights the pauses seem to be entirely gone! Strange because I didn't make any big changes to my system or FSX at all. The only thing I could think of that has chan…

I've been flying the 77W since the day it came out. Loving every minute of it. I had service based failures enabled since day 1 hoping that it would make me get to know the MEL quite well. I have since accumulated around 150 hrs across the 4 aircraft that I fly. I have to say that I seem to be getting the same old failures over and over again, mostly the bleed system (APU BLEED VALVE, HP SOV valves, etc) and an occasional NOSE WHEEL BALANCE problem. That's good, but it gets old after a while. What I actually started doing is programming 2 random failures per 10 hrs - this gives you more variety as any failure seems to be a possibility, bringing things like electr…

Hey everyone, Quick question, I've been unable to switch between the two time formats on the 777 clock. It seems that switching between MAN and UTC both give me the same time regardless of location. Is there something I'm missing? I know on the NGX it was as simple as pressing the button, I'm not sure if the 777 clock requires anything extra or if this is a bug I should report. Thanks in advance!

When flying between the U.S. and Europe the transition altitude changes from 18,000 MSL in the US to 6,000 MSL in Europe. At what point in the flows is this supposed to be done? As far as the procedure goes, I set the TA from the CDU VNAV Climb page during the preflight when entering the flightplan. How do you make the change prior to the descent phase? Is there a publication that lists the transition altitude for each region?

I keep getting a yellow advisory on the PFD "Landing Altitude". I don't know what this means, as unlike the 737, there seems to be no way of setting the cruise level altitude or the landing altitude, although there is a knob on the overhead labeled "landing" which doesn't seem to do anything. Some advice requested please. Tonym

Hi, I tested INTC CRS FROM function yestarday... and observed strange behaviour of aircraft (200LR). Aircraft, fly over fix from which I set outbound course and then turns to intercept this course but turn was fairly steep – thus it crossed outbound course. After few seconds, it tried back to course, so started turn in opposite direction to catch course, but crossed the course again. Generally speaking – it looked like „zigzag pattern” flight. After a few „crosses” it finally stabilized on outbound course. I think it should starts turn to intercept course from fix around 2 nm before that fix – right? Is it a bug or there is something I’m doing …

Hello, I am trying to submit a ticket for additional license activations as my harddrive crashed this weekend and I am reinstalling everything but am getting a max activations error. However when I try to click the register/login button I am getting a "this webpage is not available error" Is there an email address or another way of contact PMDG support?

Can someone tell me what is this? PMDG 777-200LR/F BASE PACKAGE for Lockheed Martin's Prepar3d. DOWNLOAD DELIVERY ONLY!. INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED TO INSTALL. Digitally delivered products are not refundable! Price: $350,000,000.00

Dear Captains, i just love the PMDG 777-200LR and -300ER. Today, i flew both T7 variants and i noticed that the cabin window glass of the -300ER seems a little bit darker, less transparent if you look on the -200LR windows. Is this normal, a more than small "bug" or is this an option? Please compare the cabin windows of both airliners and you´ll notice the same. Cou can clearly see this at night: The Cabin lights of the -200LR seems to be brighter, caused by the brighter window glasses.

Hi , do you have any personal experience on using FSPS Frictionality and specially FSPS Sim Physics in FSX along with PMDG 777, PMDG MD-11 and Active Sky Next? Do you recommend this combination?

hello I have a problem with the PMDG 777 ND. For example RJOO to RJTT. ( ASUKA-SHTLE-Y71-XAC-Y233-PQE-Y108-KAIHO ) Departs from the RJOO, is taken as SID ASUKA4. Normally, fly left curve, as PMDG 737 NGX and also of course do real Airliners. NGX ND show exactly SID for ASUKA with left curve. Unfortunately 777 ND indicates not as NGX, goes right curve. :blink: Although the same AIRAC12/14 and Flight Plan use. This problem applies not only to me, also my friend too. I have provided first at Navigraph same question. I enclose his answer below. It is very nice if you could give me an advice. OS WIN 7 64bit Thanks. :rolleyes: { by navdata » Thu Nov 13, 2014 4:04 pm Hi…

Hello peepz. Im not sure if this has been asked here before. But can you guys adjust your seats? The reason im asking this is because i want to be able to push my seat back and adjust my view with ezdok to zoom level 1 and still be able to see the nd and the windsheild altogether. Because sometimes the headrest of the seat wont make me click anything if im on it. Thanks

For those who can, I am able to see the "hidden" layer within the VC number file for painting the 777, but I cannot edit the layer because it has a LOCK. How do I UNLOCK the layer to edit it? I have looked within the program I use, Photoshop Elements 9, and I see no where to UNLOCK. As a painting kit, why was this layer sent out locked if it was not intended to be edited? I see others can, why can't I? Any thoughts / guidance to my ignorance / ineptitude would be appreciated. But please, be kind. I am a novice painter. More to the point, I am trying to change the VC number. When I edit it, I see 8 channels, and ONE, the "Alpha" stays the same, as though I didn't e…

PMDG has always had a fantastic custom lighting solution for the NGX and LRX. Is anyone able to say whether the 77W will feature the ground maneuvering camera system lighting? Example - http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-China/Boeing-777-39L-ER/2423905/L/ Thanks!

Quick question, I have noticed that sometimes when I test the WXR system in the 777 is shows all the colors on the ND and an aural "Monitor Radar Display" this is heard when FS2Crew FO is running through the checks. However say later on I press the test button again, I still get the color test on the display but no aural warning. Did I miss a switch or something. Or does it only sound off one time? I could be doing something wrong, any input would be great. Angelo

Hi guys, I was flying from O'hare airport when I noticed that the wing root texture seems to be missing, leaving a gap between the fuselage and the wing. Can someone help me identify and fix this issue? Thank you! Here are some photos:

When shutting down the engines, RTE 1 is automatically cleared as expected. But RTE 2 still remains uncleared. Is this correct? I can't find it in the FCOM to verify Also, the ALTNs remained uncleared as well?

Hello I am experiencing the following issue where I seek for you advice (stock FSX, PMDG 777, ASN, no other addons - win 8.1) The autopilot does not disengage, neither the assigned yoke button, nor the keyboard, nor pressing the AP button works. For the keyboard key, I see the button getting depressed on the MCP, but with no effect. The only way to disconnect is by using the bar, but then I cannot silence the siren as the yoke button has no effect. As additional observation, engaging the left AP always also engages the right one, both lamps come up simultaneously even if I activate only one side. Any ideas? Thanks Ross

HELLO, I am new with the 777-200LR. I love approach and landing and use FSIA for them. I use FMC mainly for ILS rwy code. I have a couple of problems: I usually fly with A/T+A/P+ILS; I disconnect A/T abt. 15/1000 ft. and A/P abt. 500 ft. The first problem is speed; with low fuel and low load and flaps 30 It does not go below 164 knts, when I disegage A/T below 146 knrs it stalls. I know speed it is supposed to be be less but..................................suggestions ? The second problem is that I arrive at abt 147/148 knts disengage A/P (pushing z) at 500 ft. and with the first inpunt I give with the flight stick a horn begins to blare and it does stop till …

I'm at a loss and can't find answers. Since last week, all three 777 variants show up with white flaps at night, as if the alpha was screwed. Any livery, stock or downloaded, or my own repaints. It works as it should in daylight. I checked everything I could. It was out of nowhere, I installed nothing in the mean time, have had SP1C for a while, and happens with or without ASN, payware and stock airports, I can't make them work. Ideas?

What is the event that causes the ALTN destinations list to be updated? Cheers, Richard

Hi guys I wish to print the normal procedures on FCOM1 but the PDF is locked how do I do that please? Wayne HART

My PMDG 777 crashes while on approach as I am configuring the FMC. This issues is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING considering I just flew a 10 1/2 hr flight to come upon approach and face the dreaded OOM or CTD, or FSX IS NOT RESPONDING crap. This is the third time this has happened after taking many steps to try and diagnose this issue. Why is it that PMDG has the guts to sell $100 addons like their PMDG 777 and not provide a direct customer service option even though they KNOW that this game is already unstable, and they KNOW people are bound to face issues such as this. PMDG, your products are great. But when you make them available to a game that has long sinc…

Hi My T7 was working flawlessly until I decided to update to SP1C yesterday. All cabin interior sounds disappeared : the Callouts, Pushback, RAAS and all the clicks and whistles and warnings What has happened here. Engine sounds are OK. ATC sounds are OK. I am using Sound Blaster Z with 5.1 Bill

Hi All, Got a little request and please don´t turn this subject into a VC vs. 2D war. I am have been using 2D cockpits since I started simming back in the mid-90s and so the transistion to VC is not an easy one which I think many can rely to. My biggest issues is the views and a few days ago I bought Aerosoft Airbus (A318-321) and was surprise of one thing. When in VC and the cockpit is zoomed back to fx. .40, the view "outside" (runway view) isn´t changed as it normally does whcih means that I can see my instruments and look outside the window at the same time, one thing I have problems doing with the 777 ect. . So my question is if its possible to make that…
