There are deadband settings in the CDU you can adjust to suit your setup. That might help smooth things out.

The original 777 release trimmed for speed like an Airbus. The real 777 does not do that. PMDG fixed this with a service pack but it's a compromise. This...

That's the method I use. Move the scroll wheel as fast as you can. That should increase the selected altitude above your current level rapidly enough...

You need to set the missed approach altitude after you have descended through it. Use a fast input on the altitude selector so it quickly goes above your...

No, it's a pneumatic system problem, nothing to do with the engine compressor, and could be easily isolated.

I got SEQM in the sale too. Well worth it.

The Capt Sim L-1011 is pretty good. No deep systems but enough detail to be interesting.

Korean Airlines do still have a few -400s. Other operators I've found include Saudia, Thai and Corsair. Atlas Air have a few for charter operation.

They removed that effect because it wasn't working properly. The post about it will be on the old Avsim forum.

The option is for MAN or OFF on the Main Deck cargo selectors. Lower Lobe are always the OFF type. According to the FCOM, the OFF type was fitted to main...

Yes, I know. I would have been surprised to see the problem. I'll watch it whenever I fly the -8F, but that isn't often. I still think it might be worth...

19ab67 Andre, I tried your set up but had no problem with the temperature selectors. This problem sounds like it could be a software corruption of some...

Thanks Flying_Viking, that's the kind of information I was trying to find. Does the X-BLD indication logic include EGT above FL200?

There's...

It looks like you may be using the previous flight panel state to load from. That can cause problems. Try selecting one of the PMDG defined panel states...

Sounds like you have your sim set to show pounds, but the PMDG simulation will display weights in lb or kg depending on the livery option settings. By...

FCOM vol1 describes a software error for the -200LR and -200F which causes X-BLD to disappear at 260 knots, not 270, so the QRH procedure for those types...

1. The transfer pipe (crossfeed manifold) is in fact usually closed. It isn't shown in the FCOM but there is a valve in the center of it (between the...

There isn't much of a 777 or a 787 that isn't run by computers either.

[Kevin Hall]

Yes I know but only just (a backlog of 6 freighters) and mainly because of military contracts keeping the line open. But I said that it will be out of...

That's a bit like saying the 737 MAX is a 787 in a 737 body. The 787 is very different in having bleedless engine systems and therefore much greater installed...
