PMDG 777

All the approaches I've made in the 777 have been a struggle. I can't keep the nose down while on final I trim it to where I need it, get it on the GS then the nose starts to rise even when I mantain the same airspeed or slow down. It's like there is a little gremlin in there and when he sees I'm nailed on the GS he decides to hit the up trim. I had to push the yoke most of the way forward to get the plane to respond. It's not a hardware issue as the yoke works great with the NGX ect. Any thoughts?

Can anyone point to somewhere in the manuals or tell me how to use the Route 2 to set up the next leg of a route? Specifically, I can't get it out of "Approach mode" after landing the first leg.

Hello i wonder if there is a way to power up the T7 from cold and dark without using the apu but ground power. Cant get any CDU working without APU and therefore it is not possible to select ground connections. Regards stefan

Hello, Today while i was trying to learn the T7 i opened RAT and pressed it, it moved to the unlocked position, when i tried to press it back to it's normal position it didn't work, after engine start the press button appeared, but again pressing it didn't help. i got the RAT unlocked message on the upper EICAS. is that a normal behavior? how can i lock it back to normal? cheers.

I have my default panel state/load state as long turnaround. The Check list is never pre-flight and on completing the pre-flight it jumps to before taxi, never before start. It's been like this from day one of the T7 coming out. Is it a bug with panel state or a bug my end? Thanks

Hello guys, My name is Jordan. I have used the 777 with my code i purchased. A couple days ago i had to re install the 777 due to useless problems. It asks me for the activation code however when i put it in and click on activate it comes up with this message.. "Only deployed entitlement line item can be fulfilled. [incident# 6626-4143496]" I have contacted PMDG and i am awaiting a reply however i just wanted to post in here in case one of you has also had this issue. If you have and know a solution to it PLEASE help me! Thank you guys, Jordan

suddenly out of the blue I get an fsx style message requesting product activation . so I tried to uninstall the 777 and re install but still the same and I cant find any entry for it in the registry. any help appreciated tks kav NOW SOLVED

It calls for the "cabin door locked". Is there a click spot for this> Thank you.

Hello, I looked into specifications of 772LR and 777F. The max Range of 777F is 4.900nm and of 772LR 9.395nm. As I understand both airplanes are more or less the same in weights, engines etc. Why is the max. Range so significant different. Thanks in advance Regards Andreas Hövel

hello everbody i am having this problem since yesterday morning i disscused this on an other topic but no answer(http://forum.avsim.net/topic/422248-terrain-terrain-warning/) i get a terrain alert on rotation on takeoff just after the nose gear lifts off.until 500-1500 ft agl. im having this on EVERY SINGLE takeoffs since yesterday and before submit a ticket i just want to make sure that im not doing someting wrong. any advice ??

Noticed during my first 2 flights, yet to make another, but so far I've noticed the aircraft pulling to the right during taxing. Asymmetric Thrust Compensation is on, and the N1 values for both engines were the same. Could I be missing something?

Here's a reproduceable bug: 1. Arm the Forward Cargo Fire failure. 2. When the fire is activated, bring up the ECL. 3. The first item in the ECL is a closed-loop item to ARM the FWD Cargo switch. When you do this, the check list item does not close. Interestingly enough, if you ARM the AFT switch, the item is checked off. If you run the aft cargo fire failure, the check list works as it should. Can anyone else give it a try?

please help me

Hi All, Wich version is runing now, the OC gives 1.00.5376 and on the Fmc it says Version 1 !! Sid

Hi all. PmdgT7 is awesome. I have one query here. While I am departing from airport I have over rotated and Tailstrike has occurred and immediately on Eicas corresponding MSG appeared and Ecl is gone to non normal thing and Tailstrike checklist has appeared. According to checklist the pressurisation should be turned to manual and it is done by pulling the knob and outflow valves should be off which is done by clicking on two valves. The second step is where I cannot able to do what is given in Ecl. It has mentioned to keep open the valves by holding them for certain period of time until open warning is displayed. How do I do that? The both switches in pressurisation p…

Hi, Any ideas when they will have the 5-1 soundset ready to go? Thanks Rob

I'm having problems with the thrust increasing on it's own after I start the engines. I use the Saitek Pro Flight yoke without the throttle controls. Meaning I use F1, F2, F3, and F4 to control the thrust. Before I start the engines I press F1 to verify that the thrust levers are at full idle. I have the GPU and Air Start units hooked up to the aircraft while performing the engine start. Here is what I do to start the engines. 1) Left click Start switch to the Start position 2) Right Fuel Control switch to Run 3) Wait for Engine #2 to stabilize 4) Repeat for engine #1 Now this is where the engines start spooling up on their own. For about 30-40 seconds after bo…

I've been living so long in DX9-land with Bojote's excellent tweaks + shaders that I really haven't bothered revisiting the age-long battle of FSX performance/blurries/stuttering, etc. With the recent release of the DX10 fixer, I've taken another good look at my settings and stumbled into a veritable performance gold mine for my T7. Your mileage can and will vary, but I throw this out there in case others have adopted similar "tweaks" that once helped them that may now be hurting them. My settings are tailored for a a 4Ghz system, HT quad core, with a 1GB ATI video (6870HD). I've been using a variety of performance analysis tools to measure VAS, texture bandwidth, GPU…

Hi All, I am wondering if PMDG has confirmed in any way that the FBW/handling behavior has issues or is being tweaked? For the third flight in a row, I had issues after disconnecting the AP to perform a manual landing from an ILS approach. I was fully established, had a very smooth 3deg glideslope, and was stable in trim. However, as I crossed the threshold at the "50" call out, the nose pitched up about 2 deg and my ROD decreased to about -450 fpm without and (and I mean ANY) input by me. It wasn't a wind gust (wind was steady 090@07 at RWY07R in VHHH), and I had also completely disabled AS2012's thermal effects. It is very frustrating after a 10+ hour flight (co…

As I was coming into my final landing phase and at around 30 feet I realized I am being missed the Tdz of runway and thought I should go around and this is what happened. Pressed my toga assigned button on saitek throttle setup and nothing happened. Aircraft has just touched its wheels on runway and a/t started to decrease the throttle no matter what I'm inputting into my hardware throttles. Finally I have disengaged my a/t and pushed my throttles to full power and I initiated go around. I don't understand. Maybe I have done arming the speed brakes and auto brakes to 2 which is normal for landing and when gear touched the ground a/t decreasing the throttle. What should …

I remember seeing it somewhere in the PMDG configuration setup but now I can't find it. Can someone tell me where it is? It's annoying to have the flight pause all by itself. i'd like to turn that 'feature' off. Thank you. One other thing- try as I might I can't seem to make the 777 start up with "inches/HG" for the altimeter, it always starts in HectoPascals. Anyone?

This feature is mentioned in the tutorial and introduction, but I can't seem to find a definite answer on how it works. Anyone know?

Hello, So i have been flying around the virtual world with this wonderfull plane! But one thing has come to mind. I land the plane, park her at the gate and then open some doors for disembarking of pax and cargo. When the plane is turnaround manually the doors when closed for departure do not automatically go to arm. (it being a sim makes that its not an issue). This means that I have to open all doors manually and close them before they can be armed. Why not make a seperate button on the CDU (doors page) to arm all the doors at once? Any thoughts?

I forgot to set the RTO switch before pushback. During taxi I found that selecting the switch to RTO was immediately reset to OFF by the sim. Only when I came to a halt at the runway holding point was I able to set RTO. The FCOM manual only states "Selecting RTO (rejected takeoff) prior to takeoff arms the autobrake system. The RTO mode can be selected only on the ground". No mention that the aircraft has to be stationary.

Hi PMDG Just a quick question have you released Amy vortices yet? I notice the ops centre is updated and that you have indeed found/fixed some bugs just wondered if they have been implemented or a Nordic would-be on the way soon. Kind regards Duncan Odgers
