[22SEP18] PMDG 747-8 Queen of the Skies II Released
krisyyz replied to rsrandazzo's topic in PMDG General Forum
I know your team must be crazy busy.. my ticket is 238-23396938-0456. Thank you! Kristof Barocz -
For me, Norton was the problem. Ezdok stopped working after I installed a new addon scenery and pmdg 737NGX repaint. After numerous attempts and solving this issue, I uninstalled Ezdok, reinstalled it with my Norton completely disabled and added the Ezdok exe to Norton's exlusion lists, and now it works. Kristof

Prior to PMDG's 777, I flew my 737NGX with an average FPS of 15-20. After installing the 777, my FPS dropped to 5-8 FPS for both the T7 and 737NGX. I've played around with the settings for days, carefully followed Word Not Allowed's tweaking guide and read all the threads relating to performance issues. I finally had some success last night after updating my Nvidia driver and creating a new Fsx.cfg with the 3 recommended tweaks. I'm seeing 8-12 FPS on average with the 777, but the 737NGX is a bit slower at around 8-10 FPS with default scenery and low to mid FSX settings. My laptop is definitely sub-par, so I never expected much, but I was somewhat surprised at the decreased performance. Why would the 777 affect the 737NGX's performance? KrisYYZ

Are you using VNAV? If so, try using FLCH or speed intervene via VNAV instead and see if the problem persists. Just an idea. Kristof

Nice! Thanks so much for posting this. KrisYYZ

Overall, I think she is amazing. Like with the NGX, it will take a few months to really feel comfortable with the flight dynamics, commands and overall set-up of the aircraft. The 777 sure flies nice! I do miss the some add-on applications such as a fuel planner and take-off calculations, but I'm sure all that will come in due time. Kristof

30AUG13 - PMDG 777-200LR/F Release Plan Update (Important!)
krisyyz replied to rsrandazzo's topic in PMDG General Forum
Thank you for the update! I appreciate PMDG's devotion to quality and reliability. PMDG's products are as real as it gets, so it is quite fitting that much like some Boeing and Airbus aircraft, the first delivery is delayed in order to work out some bugs and to ensure a top-notch product. Greatly appreciative of all your work and dedication to the FS community. KrisYYZ -
Very happy to hear this fantastic news! Thank you PMDG for all the work and dedication involved with the 777 project. Pay week, 5 day vacation and probably the best FS add on ever being released, life is good! KrisYYZ

I actually watched some JustPlanes videos last night, the pilots did enter the ToC wind in the PERF INIT page. Thanks for all the input everybody! Kristof
-
So if you are doing a short flight, let's say less than 500nm, entering the TOC wind as the CRZ wind on the PERF INIT page is sufficient. However, if you are doing a longer sector, entering the average wind component would be the best approach? I recently flew KDEN-CYYZ in a B738, I had to change altitudes several times due to CBs and winds variations. I updated the winds on the LEGs page to match the new winds aloft (based on AS2012 flight log) and my ETE was still off by about 20minutes. Is that the correct procedure? Thanks, Kristof
-
Thanks for that! I wasn't sure if the AS2012 weather snapshot txt file includes global weather or simply included the weather for the flight plan loaded in AS. So I take it you could change the route and destination in FSbuild as long as AS2012 is going and you'll still get an accurate weather picture. Thanks, Kristof
-
Thanks! I meant say TOC wind, not TOD. Entering the average winds make sense. I appreciate your suggestion, but one of the reasons I got AS2012 was to inject a level of realism into FSX. I was worried about the S-turn issue with PMDG, but I haven't experienced it yet. As mentioned, I've played around with the winds settings so I don't get massive changes in wind direction/strength. Currently, I load up AS2012, then start FSX once I'm parked at the gate in the PMDG737, I start FSBuild for route planning. However I have to reload the flight plan within AS2012 after the route is complete so I can get the waypoint winds. Is that the correct order of setting up a flight? Greatly appreciated, Kristof
-
Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed in the past. I'm relatively new to using FS build and AS2012 with PMDG. The 737s FMC page asks for a CRZ WND entry. Is it better to use the TOD wind or the average wind component for the CRZ winds entry? I did some flights using AS2012, and the winds aloft from AS2012 were not as accurate inflight when compared to the AS flight log predictions. This affected the ETE. What method do you use to connect AS2012 wind predictions and PMDG CDU planning? Thanks Kristof

Don't expect much with an Intel Graphics card, I fly my PMDG 737 on a laptop, but it does have a Nvidia Geforce graphics card. I'm running FSX with a framerate locked at 30 and getting pretty good FPS, granted the internal graphics settings are set to almost the minimum. It took me a while to fine-tune everything so I get the best performance with the best possible quality. You may want to turn off the co-pilot displays, external animations and reduce the display refresh rates via the PMDG-setup page found in the PMDG CDU. KrisYYZ
