This is why/maybe I earn in this forum my bad reputation ,I being flying this Best of the best with a poor system ,I saw this thread and I just couldn't keep my mouth shut..sorry! but the dude have a better machine than mine and all the reply claim that IT WON'T WORK ,well I said IT SHOULD!

http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1253553956

and as a former bad designer ,for the love of God this is a FSX-SDK made aircraft and when the proper textures format (DDS) ANY AIRPLANE WILL RUN VERY WELL,
I being learning and enjoying this wonder for two weeks and I don't see a frame killers as some of you claim

Why Do I care so Much ? you may ask
Because I finally found something very good Yes Is expensive but It worth it every penny ,in fact ,Now I'm back in FSX

I have a lower Video card ,lower CPU ,less RAM (all readably in my specs below and in the video..
I did this quickie video, to demonstrate that At least to me in WinXpSp2 Runs well as almost if it where the default 747 of the game ..

fraps is the one whos killing me here my frames Not the plane!



Now I being follow all this procedure to mak a start Cold & Dark and I still have some problems to get the IRS using the  FMC on the correct line, after all the starting  Undecided
I been following this tutorial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgmB7mJEzw8&feature=email

I have trouble in the displys only If I set the cold and dark start up ,but normally when I choose the plane everything is On...still  Embarrassed
...

If there's something that put that compass aligned and you know it Please let me know ..Thanks

Alex

Of course it all depends on your FSX settings, and Vista uses more resources than XP.
Might be a wild shot, but do you have to enter your latitude and longitude into the FMC?
Glad you're enjoying it  Wink

I really would appreciate if anyone could help me with this ,as I already said I follow step by step this guy tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgmB7mJEzw8&feature=email

But I can't make the compass screen moves or work in fact it remains in this position

...

Yes the airport is SVVA the coordinates are good ,I don't know what's going on  ,by starting the Airplane it works fine ,but not Cold & dark start ..

Hmm, did you align the INS?

And try a reinstall, and it doesn't work, go on the PMDG forums, they're usually very professional and helpful.

It was all about the "Time to Alling"

     ...

this tutorial help me a lot  Smiley Its all about set up the FMC ...and Wait!!with patience
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEKYSQzpDQA



I had no idea that everything take time, the APU to powering the aircraft the bleeding the FMC,pumps  (Jezz! we have to set the departure and destination in the FMC ) Like in real life,among many other parameters of cruise speed ,climb and decent rate ,But it feels so amazing

, (I wonder why the default FSX 747 is like a toy? Huh I couldn't understand why it stalls at 190knots full flaps no weight) almost everything in the default FSX is not true and Dummies buttoms everywhere, I used to think that this was the 747 supposed to be,without no necessary bottoms,..
  I was so far from the truth.. 

I have this videos from a very long time ago ,I find very interesting how accurate to the real life Boeing 744 this FSX model it is ( Roll Eyes eventhough I have a lot of trouble to understand the British accent) ,
these videos are very helpful and instructive,and manythings are
IDENTICAL
to the FSX PMDG model

Aye, 8 minutes*...

...but you can shorten that down to 10 seconds in the settings. Lets face it, there is not reason to wait that long in a simulator.  Wink

...and yes, the PMDG 747 is worth every penny. It has enough systems realistically simulated for you to safely land the aircraft in the event of the death of the entire flight deck crew Tongue

*Also the reason why Air Force aircrafts are on Alert 15, and Navy aircrafts are only on Alert 5 Smiley

YES it does  Smiley ,you know....we got a saying in my country is kid of a the good things of the life  make us wait ...something like that 

Cheesy My FSX life is divided in two stages
1) after I bought FSX world FSGenesis (2007/8)
2) and PMDG FSX 747

Makes all the default and the rest of all airplanes looks like toys for kids (including all my designs ,well I never being on a real plane in my life,so I got and excuse for that(and I never charge anything too)  ,Dude this is a serious Payware ,and I think even real life Pilot can really train in this 747,don't you think?

BTW this was a gift from my Sister-in-law who lives in Houston,and came to visit us,she ask me before came here what would you like? and just for to annoy her I ask he for it ,I though was just another payware ,but dude!! Shocked this was very far from what I thought It could be

,there are things I can't afford at this moment ,but I also got my eyes on that PMDG MD-11 must be good asn realistic as thios one ,I see if I can sale my one of my kidneys  Grin 

Cool

Half ..maybe more, But that doesn't matter to me Tomaz ,FSX Brought issues that even SP1 and SP2 never fix ,still its more realistic than FS9 ,and as you can see in the video (without frames caused by Frap recording software) It runs decently to me ,Enough to Do its work Flying ,training , learning ,enjoy, prepare to make your flight plan ,Learn VOR , TCAS ,ILS aproach And See!! Wink I already learn how to start a Boeing 747-400 which maybe I will never see a real one ,this is the closest thing I can get near a 747

, this isn't about to Pull to the top all the sliders, to me is to enjoy a simulation ,in the other post Every One claim that PMDG 747 wouldn't never run in a machine superior than mine ,I said It runs great in my lower pc ,and I'm about to make a flight to Miami in IFR ....again Cool..
Is just my opinion
