I hope some one to fix my issue here ...!

first of all, I use FS2Crew 747 SOP2 Voice and some time FS2Crew 747 SOP1 Voice just in my last flight in my channel from JED to SHJ and in DESCENT CHECKLIST after saying "LANDING DATA" the sim will crash. I tray it many time in different airports in many flights. second, why the is no electronic checklist same like in the FS2Crew 777.

Thanks

Mansour

you can see here before i descent i can up link the video when it is crash as privet video so you can see it. see the Link:

Thanks

I bought the FS2Crew for the PMDG 747, installed it and at the first try to start the FS2 Crew i get a message with SDK Error visit Forum. So I was looking here in the forum but the solutions i found didnt help me. I reinstalled the Fs2 Crew but still the same problem. I just cant reinstall the 747 because i just lost my CD from the PMDG 747. Is there another solution for my Problem? 😩

best Regards

I have some questions about the 747 fs2crew:

It is mentioned in the manual that several pre flight checks are not performed by the flight crew, but by the maintenance engineers (tcas test, fire warnings,...).  Is there a possibility to add this as an option, perhaps some kind of 'pre- preflight' ? So for example in the same manner as the fo starts up the plane, there is first an engineer that does some checks and then leaves the aircraft in a situation that the pilots normally see it?  Or is this something that will be done by UGCX (some kind of maintenance crew)? 

Or if not possible can all the pre flight checks be performed by the F.O. with some option?

Another question, some options are marked as 'reserved' (ex. climb thrust, failures). What exactly does this mean, are they features that will be added or am I missing something?

Thank you !

Kind regards,

I have just bought a new computer, and therfore, bought also PMDG 747 plus FS2Crew package. I installed it with no problems, I can see it in a plane. But.. I don't seem to get forward from "preflight" checklists. I heard co-pilot to go outside, she came inside also, but that's it. I don't use voice commands, and also cannot go forward with key commands. I am not native english speaker, so something I missed from the manual, but cannot figure what.. I used to have A320 package and it worked via MCDU which was preatty word not allowed proof. Can some of you kick hard my word not allowed to point it to right direction?

However. it does not show in P3D even after running it twice. I tried to run the configurator but it is insisting that I am not running it from the correct place, (which I am),

then says that it cannot find the Option.ini file for PMDG.

I have not changed anything, it loaded automatically after I chose v5 option.

Which directory should it be in. I have a Lockheed Martin and a Prepar3dv5?

Thanks.

I tried this step but does not work:

Question:  The 747 Config Manager crashes.

Answer:

1. Repair your .Net files by re-downloading .Net via this link:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=863262

Both FS2CREW Configuration Manager for NGX and B777 work fine and open without crashes.

Windows 7, FSX, Latest version of PMDG B747 Queen II

Do not use default panel states.  No saved panel states for startup.  You can see if you have any in the PMDG Options.ini.

If you want to use the PMDG Long or Short panel state, manually select it *AFTER* the PMDG has loaded.

I have 2 problems.

1:

I try to change audio device. It is possible to change in the interface but when I do the audio test it always come from same source regardless what I choose.

2.

When I change from button to voice interface the config-setup line 1 turn red and states that the interface is locked and I can not change. If I restart the sim it is white again but if I then switch to button it will lock again. Is it not possible to toggle betwwen the two interfaces?

regards,

Will this support windows 7 Pro (64 bit) with FSX? Just wanted to confirm before I purchase it. I have the product for the QW 787 with Win 7 and it works fine, but I am not sure if the 747 produce will work.

Thanks.

I would like to use Landing, Runway turn off, Taxi, Logo lights until 10000ft (Can you add it to SOP? 🙂)

I turned off "FO TURNS ON LDG/TAXI LIGHTS" in CONFIG - MISC option but FO still turn off RWY turn off, Taxi lights when i say "Flaps up"

Many airlines Turn on/off Landing, Runway Turn off, Taxi lights when passing 10000ft because 747's Runway turn off, Taxi lights does not illuminate until their main gear is touchdown on ground

Also many airlines use Logo light even they passed 10000ft

Could you add it to option or add it to SOP on next update??

FO turns on/off Landing, Runway turnoff, Taxi lights when passing 10000ft

Like this 😁

Thank you

using the 747 (both 744 and 748) with SOP 1 I found 3 things. I haven't checked the other SOP.

1. when calling for engine starts I go 3-4-2-1 and when I call for "start engine one" the starter switch for engine 4 gets pulled again too.More noticable in the 744 as the light illuminates but it happens on all versions. 

2. When doing an ILS approach and the localizer diamond becomes active my FO calls "Glideslope active" and when the GS moves he calls LOC active. 

3. at T-9 minutes the rear left cargo door opens in the freighter and sometimes at T-2 ish the nose cargo door opens. 

I use version 1.6 in P3Dv4.5HF3, PMDG addon is up-to-date.

Cheers and thank you

A software update for FS2Crew: PMDG 747-400 QOTS II is now available!

This is a free update.

The update is built into the main installer only. There is no stand-alone update installer.

You do not need to uninstall the current version.

To obtain the update, please login to your FS2Crew account (it's on the top of the screen) and click "COMPLETED ORDERS", then re-download and re-install the package again.

Change Log:

Version 2.0.

Fixes and Changes:

• Potential issue that could cause some users to have a non-clean shutdown of FSX/P3D indented and fixed.

Version 1.9.

Fixes and Changes:

• New Config Option: DISABLE FO CTRL STAB TRIM.  This is useful if for whatever reason you want to set the stab trim manually.
• Runway Turn Off and Taxi lights will now come on when gear selected down, not at 10,000 feet.
• Removed possibility that FO could ask you twice if you want the flaps left down during the taxi in due to contaminated runways.
• New possible voice response for the "Transponder" challenger in SOP 2.  "Code Checked Transponder" is now a possible response.

Version 1.8.

Fixes and Changes:

• Engine start procedure updated if the start sequence is 3-4-2-1.  When calling for start on engine 1, the FO should no longer also start engine 4.

Version 1.7.

Fixes and Changes:

• You can now respond "OFF" for the Packs Challenge in SOP 2 in Voice Control. 
• "AUTO" is now a possible voice response for the Anti Ice Challenge in SOP 2.

Version 1.6.

Fixes and Changes:

• FREE Support for P3D v5.  To install, run the FS2Crew 747 installer exe and select the P3D V5 install option.
• Minor bug fixes and enhancements (for example, if using GSX Level 2, the pilot model won't walk to the plane since he's already on the plane.  This only happens if you run the Pre Flight events.)
• IMPORTANT: You must be running the latest version of the PMDG 747.  If in doubt, run the PMDG Operations Center to check if your 747 is up-to-date!

Version 1.5.

Fixes and Changes:

• For Speech Recognition, you no longer need to have your speech recognizer to ENGLISH US.  Your speech recognizer setting can now be set to UK, Australia, Canada or India.
• Audio Reset function on audio page updated.  It's much more robust now.  If your audio ever drops and you can no longer hear your FO, press the Audio Reset button on the Audio page on the Secondary Panel.
• Minor bug fixes.

Version 1.4 (Special)

Fixes and Changes:

• Applies to FSX Version only:  A bug was introduced into the last update that resulted in 748 panel entries being added to the 748's panel.cfg file in the FSX version.  That should never have happened, but it accidentally did.  The result was that FS2Crew entries were added to the 8 model's panel.cfg file in FSX, resulting in the window panel limit being exceeded, which resulted in the EFB no longer working.  We just updated the file on the server that addresses this issue with the FSX Config Manager.  If you use the FSX version and you also own the 8 model upgrade from PMDG, we suggest you re-download the product via your FS2Crew account.  Again, this is for FSX owners only.  Nothing changes for P3D V4 users. 

If you already have V1.4 installed and you use the 8 model expansion in FSX, we suggest you:

1. Disable FS2Crew via the FS2Crew Config Manager.  That will restore your panel.cfg file to its original, pre-FS2Crew state.

2. Re-download FS2Crew for the 747 QOTS II via your FS2Crew account.

3. Run the FSX Config Manager again and re-enable FS2Crew.  Your 400 model panel.cfg files should be updated with the FS2Crew entries, but your 8 model panel.cfg should remain untouched.

Version 1.4.

Fixes and Changes:

• 800 Model: Panel Switcher fixed.
• Missing Arrival Cabin PA added (US and North American voice sets).
• Button control: Autostart for the 8 models.
• Takeoff Safety Brief Added.
• "Unstable" call logic during approach improved.
• "Social" section removed from the 737 Config Manager due to updated Facebook/Twitter policies.

Version 1.3.

Fixes and Changes:

• The 8 model is now supported for free, but with some limitations:

747-8 USERS READ THIS PART CAREFULLY!!!

1. FS2Crew 747 QOTS II only supports the 8 model in P3D V4, not FSX.  The reason is due to a panel window limit in FSX.  Again, this is all the more reason to move to P3D V4.  FSX is old and out-of-date.  FSX is  yesterday's news.  It's time to move forward to P3D 64 bits.  It's the future.  

Do NOT try manually copying the FS2Crew entries into the 8 model's panel.cfg in FSX or you'll mess up the plane!

2. Due to SDK, legal, and technical limits, the FS2Crew FO cannot interface with the Electronic Checklist System (ECL), so you'll be using the same paper checklists you used in the 400.  

3. How to add FS2Crew to the 8 mode in P3D V4:  You must run the FS2Crew PMDG 747 QOTS II Config manager again and re-enable FS2Crew.  This is necessary to add the FS2Crew entries to the 8 model's panel.cfg file.

• Anti-Ice callouts fixed.
• Other minor bug fixes.

Version 1.2.

Fixes and Changes:

• During the Pre-Flight procedure, if you ask the FO to turn on the APU when the FO prompts you, the FO will set the APU start switch to ON after 3 seconds instead of roughly 12 seconds.
• Descent procedure: Baro Inches/ HPA issue resolved.
• Touch and Go's fixed.  Remember: The FMC must be completed in full for it to work.  FS2Crew still needs the speeds computed in the FMC.
• Cabin PA's fixed.
• During the pre-flight flow, the FO will now set the EIU knob to AUTO on his side.  This should resolve any issues users had with a "NO LAND 3" EICAS warning.
• If flying a model whose EAI and WAI switches have an available AUTO position, the FO will now set the NAI and WAI to the ON position, and not leave them in AUTO, if NAI/WAI are required as per your Departure Brief selection.  Based on our 747 consultant's report, this is the actual correct procedure.
• If the pre-flight procedure is run, door 2L should now open properly.
• For the approach checklist, you can now use the backup phrase "SET AND CHECKED" if you don't feel like reading back the actual altimeter value.
• For the landing checklist, you can now say "NOT ARMED" or "DISARMED" when responding to the position of the speed brake if doing a touch and go.

Version 1.1.

New Voices:

• Additional German Male Capt.
• Additional German Female FO.
• Additional American Captain.
• Additional American FO.
• Additional Australian Captain.
• Additional Australian FO.
• New UK Ground Crew.
• New United States FA.
• New United Kingdom FA Public Announcements.
• New German FA Public Announcements.

New Features / Config Options:

• Integration with the PMDG Ground Service Vehicles (controlled via a new Config Option on the Secondary Panel).

• Option to have the Captain (that's you) only control the Hydraulics.
• New allowable start sequence: 4 - 1 - 2 - 3.
• New Config Option to allow the FO to select Terrain during his takeoff flow.

• Gate arrival procedures enhanced.  Please see the tutorials for updated procedures.  FS2Crew will only attempt to connect the ground equipment after you announce "Shutdown Procedure".  This allows you to set the parking brake during taxi without triggering the ground equipment to be connected.
• New Config Option to allow the FO to turn on both generators in the Freighter, not just one.
• You can now talk to the ground crew by holding down the R/T INT switch.  Hold it in the INT position.

Fixed / Updated:

• Manuals updated.  Some available voice commands were not listed.
• FO now properly calls "Plus 100" not "Approaching Minimums" based on associated Config Option.

• Can no longer call the ground crew while airborne.
• Touch and Go's fixed with respect to the Landing Checklist.
• Captain's no longer plays when you run the Pre-Flight events in Button Control.

• Missing sound file in the Secure Checklist (Emergency Exit Lights).
• FO will not announce passing the Transition Level during the descent if the altimeters are already set to QNH.
• Strobes On/Off voice command fixed.
• Match Speed / Bug Up/ Bug 1 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 25 -30 fixed.

• On the FS2Crew Map, the the Flight Number now displays.
• FO should now properly acknowledge engine start commands.
• Config Manager panel.cfg handling updated to handle a rare situation where Vox ATC was on the panel.cfg file, resulting in Window numbers being put out of alignment.
• "Passing Altitude" math improved to generate more accurate values taking your rate of climb/descent into account.
• FO will not turn on the strobe lights when crossing runways (Voice command: "Confirm Clear to Cross/Enter Runway XXX" must be used).
• "Set and Checked" now works as a possible response for the Before Takeoff "Flaps" challenge.
• FO now responds to FMA callouts while in Descent Mode.
• If final sector, packs off deferred to the shutdown procedure.
• "Set Heading 000" fixed.
• Ground crew volume amplified.
• Dome light handling improved for 2nd legs.
• Twitter / Facebook integration now working again (Social Integration tab on the Config Manager).

I really enjoy your product but I have two issues. The first is FO asks: "Shall I leave the flaps down" after landing, I reply "No", FO answers: "Cool/okay" or anything like that so it's confirmed that my voice got recognized but don't put the flaps up. After about 10-15 seconds FO asks again:  "Shall I leave the flaps down", I reply "No", FO answers: "Cool/okay" and put the flaps to the "up" position. So Fo asks two times but does nothing at the first time and just replies.

The second isn't really a issue but it does not makes sense that the FO turns on the taxi and runway turnoff lights after passing FL100 because in the most cases the gear is still up (probably useful for any mechanic still sitting in the gear bay :D). Normally taxi and turnoff lights got turned on in the final after the gear is down. Could you probably change this? 🙂

Thanks,
Dennis

is there any reason why the f/o is switching of the Packs during its Preflight Flow?

It's quite annoying when you are on a freezing cold airport and wondering why the aircraft not geting warm 😉

Greetings
Michael

On the B747-8 the F/O configures the Fuelpumps incorrectly during the before start procedure:

With 26tons FOB, the F/O activates the override pumps & opens the x-feed valves, which leads to a "FUEL TANK/ENG" EICAS-Message. Thus, I have to deactivate the override pumps and close the x-feed valves ( which extinguishes the EICAS Message ).

Most current PMDG 747 update and FS2Crew v1.7.

Best regards,

Toto

I‘ve noticed that during touch&goes the F/O does only respond to bug-speed commands during the first circuit.

During the succeeding circuits you will get „ehm, are you sure?“ as reply.

E.g. during the first circuit, the F/O will set the speed bug to Flaps 5 maneuvering speed after the call „Bug 5“.

During the succeeding circuits he will deny any bug setting.

Best regards,

Toto

Also, related, I think there should also be a "Fuel Low Stabilizer [Both]" (same for Aux) that prompts the FO to turn off both pumps. It's awkward to say "Fuel Low Stabilizer Left … (wait for her flow) … Fuel Low Stabilizer Right".

I would like to describe something I noticed and I would like to get any feedback from you in how to fix ou what happened. Its not really an issue.

While flying the 744 with normal livery downloaded and installed via Ops Center, during engine start, fs2crew shows "start engine 4 and 3", at the same time, as usual. Great!!

I have downloaded another livery, the *ptp file, installed via Ops Center and it does not happen on engine start, the option shown is one engine at a time.

Any feedback??

Best regards
