VNAV issues.

Ditto on the great wing views. To lower your view without changing the values in that config file just hit Shift-Enter once. This should lower the view to a lower angle. I noticed that as soon as I fired up the sim and how high it appears. I'll have to change the values in the config file to meet my liking.

There are xxx_DIR= definitions like

VIEW_FORWARD_DIR= -7.5, 0, 0

first value
-7.5 = 7.5 deg up against the normal view

third value
0 = 0 deg view angle, straight forward
(90 deg would be right and 270 deg would be left)

So if your view is to up just use may be 0 instead of -7.5, a positive value goes more down than the default view.

Hello,
I tried all to get a nearly real flying 738 using PM software. I can also confirm all the bugs stated in the forum for such a long time. There is still no way to use VNAV or all the other software related functions to make a nearly realistic onlineflight. To do that I have to use the PMDG 738 software on a desktop. But I am a cockpitbuilder. It is not my job to test and develop a software to make the easyest functions working. PM System is not finished at all. The CDU is not usable to make one realistic flight. VNAV is far away from

Sorry,
that was finger trouble...
I will wait ,what else can I do, for some updates. Otherwise I have to change to Airbus using a nother software.
So, all the best and a happy new year
Brian

Hi Thomas,

...using what you suggested for front view (zero degree) worked perfectly for me, thnx

Thomas,

Thank you for the Panel.cfg. Using the stripped down version of the Panel.cfg removed all the small little problems that i was experiencing with FSX aircraft interaction with CPflight's MCP and PM Software.

It is such a real treat to fly again. I was one that jumped to FSX as soon as it came out and never really got it to work smoothly until now. So between your panel and Bob Reeds help, I am flying the blue skies again without having to bang my head in frustration for the minor problems that took away from the fun.

i hear you brian, we use a three man crew to fly a full size deck online and its very dissapointing. pm have a commercial licence aswell. surely this would perform its duties correctly? i remember when the announcement was made to steer the pm ship slightly away from the home user. hope this is not a reflection of that. i love and have the utmost respect for pm. its a wonderful and complicated little piece of software. hope it gets resolved soon

The above is incorrect for the 737. The only time FLCH will come on "automatically" is if you activate one of the AP in this phase of flight. If you have ops information that is different please send it to me via e-mail. It goes against my understanding of this systems which I always cross check but if there is really a real world indication of this I am very interested to see it.

Disregard my statement. I did some homework and you are correct. It isn't supposed to happend.

RENE' you're absolutely right!

I'm using the same cockpitsonic stuff (Throttle, mcp, efis and MIP) and I have exactly the same problems you're having.
The servos of the throttle are connected only in VNAV CLB during wich N1 mode is active on the MCP. During VNAV CLB everything works fine for me
But as soon as VNAV PTH is engaged the servos are disconnected and the position of the throttle levers seem to conflict with PM CDU autothrottle settings. For me it's actually impossible to use VNAV during cruise and descent.
BYE !

This has nothing to do with PM software. Should be solved with the next Driver of Cockpitsonic as well Speedbrake and some other things, I have been there and we could get them fixed with Uwe and Mathias.
