I've never noticed that click sound in the airplane honestly. I usually fly with BoseA20s so maybe that's why. Sometimes cameras register sounds that...

Hello! Welcome to the PMDG forum.

I'm not sure which sounds you're referring to. In the 737, the only click sound you'd hear on lift off...

[Aeromar]

Yeah. I used to do that in GA airplanes. We don't do it in large airplanes. In the wheel well there's a device that stops wheels on retraction with a...

[Aeromar]

Nice. It would make life so much easier that thing. Aviation is so backwards sometimes...

[Aeromar]

The fact that your autobrake is immediately showing the autobrake disarm light is a good reason to suspect a bad brake axis. Make sure your brakes are...

Welcome to the forum.
The ground friction in FS/P3D is one of those things that is just never right. The sim has a huge limitation there and airplane...

[Aeromar]

Yeah, but it's not at the same level of PMDG level of detail. Cockpit realism is important, true, but I value systems accuracy more.

[Aeromar]

Only during landing roll the speed you call is the ground speed. This is for runway excursion prevention. In some airlines, after every RAAS distance...

Those clouds and the lighting are 100% MSFS....

[Aeromar]

Yeah, that's true. These things are so well simulated that it becomes evident why these airplanes are meant to be flown with 2 pilots (In real life, a...

[Aeromar]

Well, if all you do is fly from A to B, then what you're doing is the part that real pilots only do because they get paid for it. It's boring, it's about...

[Aeromar]

Remember the radio altimeter is offset to read -4ft when the airplane is on the ground so that 0ft happens on touchdown when the struts haven't been compressed....

[Aeromar]

You can tell because the runway centerline is aligned with the PDF, lies to the right side of the screen and remains vertical. Also, the horizontal parts...

[Aeromar]

And that's exactly what I was looking for. Perfect solution. The only thing about it is that, apparently, chaseplane ignores those CFG entries. I'm still...

[Aeromar]

Why so? During the pandemic many people with IRL experience are using the sim to stay current. Besides, some of what he's saying about the modes make...

[Aeromar]

You're right. It's not officially "on approach" but it's an extension of similar functionalities. I thought the flaps thing was part of it,...

[Aeromar]

I think when you say RNAV you mean PBN. RNAV is just one specification within PBN (performance based navigation). You also mention departures specifically....

[Aeromar]

Or flaps not up...

[Aeromar]

Oh, I think that's where it's at. I've never used the SDK. I'll see if doing so breaks my ChasePlane settings....

[Aeromar]

Yeah, as I said in EDIT 2, that way it works but, by making the window wider, all 2d panels get stretched. I use the 2d popup of my CDU frequently and...
