PMDG 777

Emirates to launch world's longest non-stop flight, using 777-200LR to connect Dubai and Panama City. It will clock in at 17 hours, 35 mins. going westbound. www.boeingblogs.com/randy/archives/2015/08/worlds_longest_flight.html

Before starting a long flight, I programmed the FMC for the correct STAR and arrival on ILS runway 26L at London Gatwick (EGKK). However on approaching Gatwick, the ILS frequency (110.9) was not 'picked up' so 'LOC' and 'APP' couldn't be selected. I also tried manually entering the frequency on the FMC RAD/NAV page (LSK pre-populated with 'PARK'), but got the message 'invalid entry'. Any ideas what may be wrong....? Thanks!

This is the first time I've heard this sound... is it Aerosoft EDDF (that's where I'm at and finally got lights working): PMDG 777 at the gate on ground air/power, engines and APU shut down and GSX not tasked. No traffic. Sound is a high pitch fire-alarm sound, and it is loudest in external view and muted in cockpit. I don't think it has anything to do with PMDG but thought I'd ask here first. I can stop sound by reseting the flight. It comes back after a minute or two, every time. Kinda makes this location impossible to use. Thanks for any suggestion. EDIT: I've eliminated everything but the PMDG-EDDF combination. I can sit there all day with the BE-58 an…

KCVG-OBBI route on FlightAware has this as part of the route TOPPS N213A ELSIR. N213A is an airway that starts about 600 miles to the WSW of ELSIR and 100 miles to the east of TOPPS. SkyVector shows no waypoint to get onto N213A and SimRoutes says N213A does not exist. I am flying direct from TOPPS to ELSIR. Is there a way to get onto N213A using the FMC?

Hello Everyone! I know this must be in another thread but Im not finding it. Can you please help me out or point me in the right direction as to what settings to use on sensitivity and null zone for the most realistic feel of 777 and 737NGX? (aileron, elevators and rudders) I read that the best settings are to max out sensitivity and set null zone to 0, but the 777 then handles like a cessna. Im using Saitek pro flight yoke on Prepar3d v2 Thanks!!! Good Day!

Hello! I´ve got a strange problem but i´m sure that the problem is my fault because i do something wrong. Today i wanted to take off without arming VNAV and LNAV. I engaged the V/S Mode and set a VS of about 3000 fpm, and the V2 speed on ground. After that i clicked on HDG select. Now i rolled on the runway and pressed the TOGA button and the take off are working until i´m in the air. And NOW the problem occurs: At about 500 ft over ground i enganged the AP and the selected ap holds the selected vs of 3000 ft for reaching the first initial altitude. And i thought that the AP will maintain my selected speed but it´s not the case. The autopilot does not hold my selecte…

Hello, I have a problem with my 777 : it's moving left and right from his route some times during the flight. It's not stable on LNAV. Anything to do??? thank's Yves

I have finally set my 777 in a throttle intervention mode that suits me the best - NEVER allow for manual thrust. This avoids any misplacement of the throttle axis in my controller, saves me from a few surprises, and it can still be override if you use your F1 / F2 / F3 / F4 keys, or use a fancy controller programming script to assign these key presses to buttons. In Hold mode, during takeoff, for instance, if I need to abort before V1, I simply press F2, or F1 in a hurry :-). During a stormy approach, if I want to momentarily override the A/T settings, I use F2 or F3, or in the limit, F4... I had never explored this mode, but it's the one I am keeping, for …

Not sure what's up but the climb rate gets extreme and FSCaptain don't like it one bit! I had initially used vertical speed set rather than VNAV and of course that works, but my sense from FSX days (using P3D now w/ T7) was that climb was exquisitely controlled w/ VNAV enabled. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I will spool up to 55% EPR, hit the TO/GA button and advance throttles, take off and control the climb rate w/ trim then when I hit the autopilot she shoots up to a climb rate of 5500+. While I'm here, also when I have to do a manual/non-autoland, I can't figure out how to get the blooming horn to shut off after disengaging the autopilot to manually la…

Hi Hope someone can help me with the little problem I have, I done a complete re-install of the PMDG 777 last week after upgrading to windows 10. The 777 it's self is working fine but I'm unable to access any options in the Operations center and the livery installer is also not available . The main problem is that when I select the FSX 777 in the operation center I get a message telling me I've installed the product in FSX:SE, likewise when I click on FSX:SE it's tells me I've installed it in FSX???. I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how I can correct this ( I'm using FSX not FSX:SE) Thanks Owne LEE

hello everyone, i recently watched the justplanes video Air Canada flight from vancouver to sydney and i realized that the flightcrew entered step climbs into the flightplan (in the fmc) manually at certain waypoints via a command (e.g. 350/S). My questions are now the following: When do you "hardcode" the flightlevel change into the flightplan instead of climbing when the fmc wants you to, i.e. when reaching the s/c point? Is it due to some restrictions along an airway or due to the reason they were flying over the pacific? If the second question is not the case, wouldn't it be more fuel efficient to just climb when the aircraft says so instead of climb…

Hey guys I bought the pmdg 777 since june and now I have a big problem when I start pmdg from long or short the left engine will not work when I throttle up, only right engine is boosting the power and left engine was like died not moving like is has no power! But I start from cold and dark it is working pls some people help me I love the pmdg t7 alot helppp

I am getting a the following error message when attempting to download liveries via Operation Center "there was an unknown error downloading the list of liveries!". Is there a fix for the error. Thanks!

This may have been answered but I cannot find it if it has. I had to reload FSX as well as all addons and now I do not have dep/arr rwys or SID/Stars. Any suggestions please. Thanks Rohan Holmes

I guess this place is as good as any. I have my 777 with something hanging from the tail wing and although I don't use the external view much, I like to take pictures in flight and I'd rather not have whatever it is hanging from my tail wing all unrealistic like, it takes away from the immersion! Anyways folks, whatever you think this might be your help is greatly appreciated. PS that pretty little island there that the plane is about to cross is San Clemente Island off the coast of California. Because Learning is fun!

Hey Guys - I'm finally back at it with P3D instead of FSX. I completed my first round the world without a single hitch for the first time since...well...I can't even remember how long!! Anyway, I've noticed the plane fails to maintain the VNAV profile coming down. So far it only happens while getting close to the approach, say 5,000'. It'll totally ignore the VNAV profile. Any ideas?

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. When landing the 77F, after main gear touchdown, the sound of the nose gear hitting the runway seems to play too soon. Everything else is fine with the landing, gross weight about 230 tonnes including fuel, approach at Vref+5. It's just that after I hear the sound of the nose gear making contact, the nose continues to drop significantly then stops abruptly, as though it hadn't reached the pavement when the sound played.

Hello everyone, just a little question, in wich option can I disable the "pilot response" please? And another question, does anyone know about a master caution alert whitout any notification on the EICAS? I don't understand because I did my cold and dark correctly. Thank you very much :rolleyes:

I am thinking about a February trip to Miami to spend more time on the 777 full motion simulator. 2 years ago I split 4 hours with another member here and it was an excellent experience. It is costly about $1000 for 2 hours - we'd get 4 hours, 2 in the left seat PF and 2 in the right seat PNF. If you are proficient in the PMDG sim, you'll be very comfortable on the 777 full motion Level D sim.. My other option is Ufly in Toronto - anyone try that? I'd like to know. Or I can wait for PMDG to get their simulator up and running (if it isn't already)

Helloo... Pls help anyone have problem about the FMC freeze after putting the Cost Index..? Also it wont let me change the ALT and Speed during flight even the OPTIMAL ALT is being said. I have a Sample image but don't know how to put it here....

Is it possible to add this effect into the 777 engines? Or does this after burner only happen on the PW engines? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Japan-Airlines--/Boeing-777-346/2675132/L/

Hi, I have a x64-based PC with Window7 Home Premium OS, Intel i7-4770 cpu,3.5 Ghz, 4 cores,8 Logical Processors, Asus MoB, GeForceGTX780,16.0 GB Ram.. So should not be part of the problem. If I fly the T7 fully manual i.e. with FD and A/T disengaged, I am not able to use my trim wheel to trim the bird. If I transfer the trim control to a yoke button, sometime I have control, sometime not. Since I have a sticky yoke (anyone have a solution for that), having to fight the pitch on landing makes things a bit frustrating. Would sure welcome a good suggestion for this problem. As for the reversers, the effect of applying reverse thrust on landing is always felt but when I …

Good Evening Gents, Well I've been waiting for the previously promised in-depth tutorial #2 for the T7 that was promised by PMDG since the launch of the service pack (because they always launched their second tutorials after a SP), but I can't see any plans for one. So does anyone know if there's anything on the horizon for the tutorial? Much appreciated, Mohammed El-Dakamawy

For some odd reason when I installed my pmdg 777-300er it thinks im running it on steam, when I'm actually not running on steam. It is not activating when I install it. any suggestions???? thanks

Hi out there, I am not a Steam FSX user - so do I need the update SP1d? Cause it is a full install I hesitate to update and will not if it only improve on Steam FSX. Thnx Tom
