PMDG 777

I had to stop my flight to attend to some matters that came up, so I decided to try out an engine out failure. I programmed the failure for eng 2 severe engine failure, set it to trigtger in 2 minutes. Right on schedule the engine died, but there were no master caution, audible alerts, or EICAS messages. When I brought up the ECL, it was set to the engine out abnormal checklist as expected, but I would have expected at least a master caution alert? Has anyone else run into this? Tom Cain

Hello Everyone,

Any word on a performance manager like that on the NGX? I would like to supress the external model cabin and change the VC displays/Texture quality

This may not be a 777 issue at all, however, but I'm posting it here in the hopes that maybe someone has experienced it also. When I advance the throttles manually, they behave eratically although they go in the proper direction after some fiddling. It doesn't happen with the NGX or Majestic DH8. I've reprogrammed them in FSUIPC numerous times to no avail. Any Ideas? Ted Belden

I have just purchased the 777 , going through intro pages it asks me to download th UIAutomationCore .dll file. The link it gives I cant get through to A) Do I need it? B) How can I find it Hope I have explained it clearly, I am new to this forum thing

I think this is a sale just before the lunch 777-300ER

After making a decent at Brussel Airport EBBR ILS 25L there was a problem, APP didn't work , cause PMDG NAV/RAD is making frequentie 110.35/250, but it should be 110.30/250, see FSX/FSC.

When flying an international flight, what are the average reserves you would expect to have? I am landing with 9 or 10 kgs of fuel left, the sensor warns you with 6. So should I have less than 9 or 10? These are ETOPS 120 flights so I am thinking that extra fuel is required. I'd like to get a better understanding for how much fuel I should be loading so I don't waste money! Thank you! David Frank

I took off out of Dubai and the aircraft was having issues maintaining speed and getting to altitude.

reinstalled twice and no load editor or fuel planner. where are they?

I think the sake is for the new pmdg 777-300ER

Hi, I export my flightplan from PFPX to: - FSX format (.pln) - PMDG 777 format Then I load the FSX .pln into ASN: I would have 3 questions: 1) I don't understand why all my flight plans have FL180... which turns to be the transition altitude and not the cruise altitude? 2) I know it's a dumb question but do I have to change manually within ASN: Cruise KTS, Climb FPM, Climb KTAS, Descent FPM, Descent KTAS? 3) I read that ASN has an interpolation feature. So I understand that it is capable of detecting the position of the aircraft. So why do I need to load a flight plan? Does it help to have a more accurate weather?

In first I apologyze for my language When I fly every think is correct, exept I can't use my FMC. I can't modify my route, I can't pass a point to the top, and if I have to change the runway (for the wind by exemple), even if the dep/arr window is open, I can't. Please if someone have a answer. Thanks. Patrick from Nice in France

Hi, Just a word of caution for those planning on flying into Runway 26 for Tel Aviv (LLBG), using the default scenery for FSX. There is a radio mast right next to the runway, almost on the runway border. I've just clipped it with my left wing after a 4.5hrs flight and a perfect touchdown. Even with the 777 bang on the centreline, the wing will not clear the mast. All I can say at the moment is that I'm not in a happy place right now. I'll either have to get add-on scenery to replace the default LLBG with or I'll have to edit the airport and move the mast myself. Regards,

Hi All, Is there a EZCA file for the 777?... It would make things much easier with the virtual cockpit Thanks Andrew

Think I've got too much free time here.

Would it be possible to show a video or something about the Data Uplink?

Hello, today I found anothe rissue with the 777. Flying form ZBAA to YSSY all of the sudden the capt seat VC went unclickable. No pointers, no hands. Everything works as it should from other views like to FO and all panels. All pop-up panel work just fine as they should. Just the capt side is inop. Thought it may be a screen issue. nope. Also tried the f9 button as sometimes the vc is inop after changing screens. nope. I am at a loss on this one. anyone else have this issue? I have quite a few flights in this bird and this is the first time I have seen this one. Google and other forums offered no help. Am I the first ?? Thanks.

Ive been following this forums since release and I haven' seen any mention so here goes. Im currently doing EGLL-VTBS with the following route: DVR 5101N L9 KONAN UL607 AMASI UM149 BOMBI UL984 PADKA L984 FASAD B493 TIKNA A87 KEKAL N644 ABDAN LEMOD N644 DI A466 SAMAR M890 LLK R460 CEA L507 OSUKA DCTARONS Now between OSLAN and BULIG on L984 airway the plane just decided to turn left off the magenta line and make the plane scream "bank angle bank angle". This is the 2nd time its happened, the first on EGKK-TBPB. Now I'm new to the plane and still learning things but I don't know what is causing this to happen. The magenta line is drawn properly and there are no dis…

Hi all Just wondering if you think it is worth getting ezdock for 777 Is it easy to use and do you have any preset views and is it easy to select the views I'm quite a novice when it comes to new things etc Thanks

There are many things about the SP that you will love and appreciate, but the one I have come to appreciate more than most is the finely tuned interaction betwixt pilot and aeroplane this SP brings- that amalgamation of ones and zeros, that enthralling tango of logic and art form, that hallowed place we as transport drivers cocoon ourselves into and spend most of our "piloting" hours- manipulation of the AFDS/AT/AP systems. A long time subscriber to Bill Bulfer's mentality of tactical MCP manipulation in a saturated environment (think change in arrival and/or runway flying into LGW- a radar target rich environment to be sure) vs. strategic FMC manipulation in a more seda…

Hello, I am wondering about the reasons for the difference between the autopilot in the 777 compared to the 737 and other Boeing models. When I fly the 737 ngx and I am, say, practicing t&g's I like to partially delegate to the autopilot things like the throttle and even the pitch so that I only have to manage turns at the cruise portions of the exercise, however I am finding that I cannot do this with the 777 since only the throttle is independent of the other autopilot controls so I can either have both the heading and pitch managed by the autopilot or not, and to me this is a little bit frustrating since I really enjoy having control of the heading without managing…

So, I know a bunch of you have been looking for an update on the progress of SP1. While this isn't an official update, and more work is still being done (as I say in my videos whenever I'm using a beta version: "this is BETA SOFTWARE - it may or may not represent the final version"), I figured some of you might appreciate seeing a few more pictures. To that end, there is still work being done on the weather radar to tweak it to look more representative of what crews would see, so if it doesn't look quite "perfect" yet don't get your knickers in a twist :wink: Disclaimer: I ran these through a batch Photoshop conversion to get them from BMP to JPG so it wouldn't mur…

Hello Everyone! I have bought the T7 a couple of months back and since then I have been reading the forums quite avidly. I remember reading that PMDG runs code out of the FSX main process. One of my tweaks to run FSX better is to give it real time priority in the task manager. It works great to avoid stutter and to get textures to load faster. When I read that PMDG runs code outside of FSX I looked in task manager to see if there were any PMDG process going on to set a higher priority too. Unfortunately there are none listed. But now I was wondering if this has something to do with the freezes, I get them quite often in every long flight that I do. Excuse me the igno…
