PMDG 777

Once in a while on a flight where I guessed what the payload was and got it wrong, I will go to the fmc and change the payload and fuel, while in the air flying. I noticed that later on in the flight, sometimes a few hours in, the game will freeze and I'd have to ctrl alt del. Does anyone else get this freeze in the middle of a flight, and did you also happen to change fuel or payload after taking off? This is for sure the cause of it. FSX just froze about 15 minutes after I changed the fuel and payload while at cruise altitude. I changed the payload then went into the pref page and adjusted numbers there. Then a few minutes later, bam, fsx frozen.

I don't want to blow 89.99 when the 777 can't run well on my PC. Specs: AMD Phenom II X2 565 Processor 3.40GHz AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series 4GB RAM ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard

I have two problems on my 777, that prevent me to fly (especially the 2d) - The TCAS test is allways displayed on the Flight director - The Gear won't retract

Folks, I'm curious what others consider essential add-ons for using the 777? Things like scenery, airports, flight planners, WX, etc... what's everyone using for the most immersive experience? Cheers, Busdriver (Bill) KPHL

I meet a problem since last week, in 5 flights on ivao network i crash 3... all the crash was when i was quietly on my cruize altitude not on the ground or approaching. I have an i5 8Gb of ram and GTX660Ti, Fsx is on the HDD 1To and i have one SSD 60Go kingstone for my win7 64bits.I already put the Uiautomationcore.dll, i don't understand why im crashing like that.I have another computer i5 sony vaio 4Gb portbale computer and that not happen. My graphic is not on ultra high but high and i use the default fsx.cfg. Any idéa to optimize my system? Best regards

Hey, probably a silly question, but you guys in here know about everything, so I'll ask. I had to do a Go around over KJFK in my new 777 (first trip over the pond). I've never had to do Go arounds before, and I understood nothing. I just pressed TO/GA, and the plane proceeded. I just waited it out, curious as to what would happen, but the plane just kept on climbing and climbing against FL200, the annunciators just showing TO/GA TO/GA. The boeing procedures wasn't much help, and I ended up ending the flight. Anyone know a good detailed tutorial for TO/GA in either the 777 or the NGX, preferably text and not preferably video? And especially how you return to the airport.…

I see a low fuel temp in dash display. How can I fix it? With the upcoming winter schedule, I would like to know the procedure to fix this issue. fly lower? change fuel type? I remember this issue similar to the MD11s. The only thing I can do in the MD11 is to cheat the fuel type in the FMC. Any help appreciated. :wub:

During flight switch EFIS to PLN mode, crashes every time. Beyond this issue the T7 works great.

I have the Saitek Flight Yoke Pro with 2 Throttle Quadrants. The configuration I want to use is from left to right - Elevator Trim, Spoiler, Throttle Engine 1, Throttle Engine 2, blank, Flaps. Configuring the Flaps was by far the easiest in FSUIPC4, then the Spoilers were fairly easy. The problems began with the Throttles which I will not get into it since I did figure it out. I am having trouble configuring the Elevator Trim Lever in FSUIPC4. It is very touchy and doesn't make sense (no, my pots are not dirty), one should be able to move the lever up to increase trim and lever down to decrease trim and the middle of the travel should put it in neutral. If only that w…

Hi Everyone, So I finally bought the PMDG 777 but I'm having a few problems. Every time I load the aircraft, I get a warning telling me that the product was unable to create its work files and to make sure that I'm running FSX as administrator (which I am). Also, when I load the aircraft, I get horrible VC views. In fact, the only clear displays are the PFD, ND, and FMS. I'm not sure if this is because I'm using Windows 8 or if there's another reason for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got a problem Editing the decal. Any suggestions?

Thought you all would enjoy this pic... It is of my personal 777 over Germany at sunrise.

I like to express my appreciation to PMDG staff for all their assistance in getting my 777 up and running. PMDG is commended for their all their support of their products. I like to thanks them all help and guidance. My sincere appreciation to them all. Kind regards, Charles M. Huckelbery

Many thanks for PMDG for helping me in getting my 777 up and running. I do appreciate all there assistance and their kind advice. PMDG staff provides excellent assistance to those who need help. I like to extend my thanks to all of them that makes flight simulation fun and enjoyable to me and other customers. Kind regards, Charles M. Huckelbery

Hey guys, First of all, I do not know whether this issue has already been adressed or not (at least I have not found anything in the bug thread). So please do not rail against me if I am too stupid to find it ;-) For some reason, my 777 FMC occsionally shows some very strange behaviour. It changes from 'climb mode' to 'des mode' before reaching the T/C. In this case, the aircraft levels off and holds the current altitude. This happend to me on a flight from OMDB to CYYZ again today. But this time, I noticed that there was a T/D displayed about 50nm before my T/C on the screen on the right of the PFD (guess it's the MFD but not sure). Once I passed the wrong T/D, …

Quite a few times I have said that I am so overly carefull with my FSX install. Well two days ago I did things I usually never do, and BOOM CTD! What is worse, after this I kept having graphical glitches in the form of Flashes while in VC. I have also stated befofe that a CTD is really not good because it can cause software corruption. Well, here is the proof of that! I normally close FSX completely after a flight before I start a new one. Time consuming because for me this means shutting down OPUS FSX and TRACKIR as well and rebooting it all again in the correct sequence :-( Good thing I usually only fly one flight per FSX day :-) Anyway, two days…

I posted this in the general FSX forum and no one has even viewed it so I am posting here since I figure people in this forum would be the sort of people that would use airnav.com and be familiar with what I am talking about. When I click on "Download" for any SID, STAR or approach I get an error message that states "Page can not be found" and a bunch of other stuff instead of the SID/STAR/Approach popping up in a new window. This is happening on two different computers and each computer uses a different internet provider. Is anyone else seeing this? On both computers I have tried IE10 and Firefox 26.0. This was all working the last time I looked at somethin…

I installed the aircraft and when I selected the 777 and started the simulation and nothing happens; black screens, inactive VC. There is not a popup to activate whatsoever. I received to code via mail. I can use the OPS center but neither there I can find a window to activate the 777. EDIT: Double topic, can be removed

After disengaging the auto pilot the aural warning sound wont stop. Cant cancel the warning no matter what i do. Any thoughts???

Maybe you smart people can figure this out, because I'm stumped. According to the QRH, this message means that the aft lower cargo temp selector knob is in the off position...except when I get this message, it isn't. My knob is in the 12 o'clock position, which means a target temp of 60*F in the AFT/BULK lower cargo hold. I confirmed this on the AIR page on the lower MFD. 60*F set in magenta, and 60*F showing in white beside it for the actual temp. But for whatever reason, I can't get CARGO HEAT BULK to disappear off the EICAS. I've tried rotating the knob to C, W, L, and H, and still the message stays. On the ground, in the air, doesn't matter. I'm flying the…

Alright guys, I know there was a thread on this back in September, and reading through that hasn't helped me. Here's my problem: I have FTX Global, FlyTampa OMDB and Aerosoft Male X addon. When I fly a normal aircraft, I will turn all of the above on, and I'm fine, I don't have any issues. I can complete a long haul flight with no problems, even letting it run at half speed all day. However, when I fly the PMDG 777, within minutes of taking off from Male Int'l (Using the tutorial flight plan until I can comfortably navigate the cockpit and try other routes), machine crashes and says "You have run out of available memory..." I have disabled all of the addon…

Hello folks, I am not very experienced in regard to wide body A/Cs, so I see myself as a kind of beginner in that area. It happend twice over the last two weeks that I "softly" slammed the T7F onto the runway (sim-in-sim mode for sure): :huh: -first occurrence: ROD > 1000ft/m (fsx crash display) -second occurrence "Tailstrike" (nicely displayed on the ECAM) Both happened at flaps full, 148kts approach speed (as recommended by FMC), manual Thrust (with A/T arm switch off). Reason of crash/tailstrike: airspeed too low because of insufficient thrust. Thrust levers set to full power too late by PF (me). I know, that the operating manual underlines "A/T arm switch alw…

Hi guys, I just started using the PMDG 777-200LR/F, and I went through the tutorial and it works fantastic. Absolutely love it. However, now I'm trying my hand at a route of my own. So I'm going from OMDB-VABB, I went to RouteFinder and they gave me the following route: OMDB SID RIKET M428 GOMTA UM428 TARBO M428 MUNGA A777 VAXIM L301 NOBAT L505 BIDIX M638 EXOLU DCT VABB So I'm entering this information into the FMC RTE (VIA/TO) page, and when I get to UM428 - TARBO, I get INVALID ENTRY at UM428, and everything after is invalid also. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way for me to validate these waypoints? Any support is appreciated Thanks, …
