Hi Lorenzo,

Welcome to the forum.

The 737 FMC can't compute the fuel required directly. It can only tell you what the fuel remaining...

Hi Dana,

I understand perfectly your satisfaction with P3D. I avoided MSFS for a long while for exactly that reason. Eventually I succumbed...

[Kevin Hall]

I would suggest anyone having problems with nose wheel steering take a look from outside the aircraft to see where the nose wheel angle is. It's very...

The logo from the first previews onwards was "Microsoft Flight Simulator". Were there adverts for it before that?

[Kevin Hall]

No, me too. I had enough of that kind of treatment from teachers at school to last a lifetime....

[Kevin Hall]

No problem Frederico, glad to help. It wasn't a silly question. If you don't know the answer it's always best to ask.

[Kevin Hall]

As Dan said, PMDG added in the 777 in P3D so it's possible they added it to the 737-800 in MSFS, which is also prone to tail strikes. I haven't tried...

[Kevin Hall]

I wonder whether you got a tail strike on takeoff which could cause a cabin leak and that damage might be what was persistent. Simply being unpressurised...

[Kevin Hall]

Your panel state may be corrupted. Try loading a PMDG saved state.

[Kevin Hall]

No, you didn't break the aircraft so you don't need to reset it. You just need to wait until cabin altitude is within limits and the warning will cease....

[Kevin Hall]

If the pressurisation is in AUTO you only need to switch the packs on and descend the aircraft to recover the situation. The outflow valves will already...

[Kevin Hall]

RSR's announcements in the forum and interviews online over the past year or so make this clear. They are currently concentrating on the 737 but beginning...

Hi Frederico,

You need to make sure your brakes are fully on before you try to set the parking brake. Then press and release the joystick...

[Kevin Hall]

Sorry for any confusion. I didnt see your post as a challenge, I was just trying to clarify things. I had been talking about using the Z key to disengage...

[Kevin Hall]

Z is the AP ON/OFF toggle, so usually a second press would reengage it. I thought I'd read a post months ago that PMDG had changed how the Z key worked...

[Kevin Hall]

It's no different to their DC-3 addon for P3D, and they used to charge a lot for that. It's free these days. I don't think they changed the functionality...

[Kevin Hall]

There is more than one AP disconnect input in MSFS. I found one that works as the yoke disconnect switch in the 737, but I'm at work so can't identify...

[Kevin Hall]

He may be using a button to apply the brakes, which would be "both brakes". It's not clear.

[Kevin Hall]

Try setting the parking brake by applying the brakes then using the mouse to move the parking brake lever. If that works then the problem is in your use...
