Over at the PMDG forum, a couple days ago Randazzo posted a new update for the DC-6, below he also said: ‘We are also beginning to map out unveiling our next release for MSFS… Exciting times ahead!’ We may very well see the 737 announced this month or the next

If I could ask one of the RL pilots here - what do you typically display on the lower DCU? The expanded engine data? Otherwise, it seems like a waste of space to use the system data option, just showing a couple of bits of data that could easily be included with the engine page. I also saw a s…

[image] SuperSixBravo: I noticed the issues when landing at Zurich. There is a runway I beleive that is banned from landing after a certain time of day, but MSFS ATC did not get the memo, You think that’s bad, check this out. St. Petersburg/Clearwater Int’l (KPIE), located in Pinellas County…

On another topic, I’m having an interesting problem. I’ve got both the -700 and the -800 installed, running the latest beta and both the 737s are fully up to date. The -700 is working fine. When I try to use the -800, the ailerons are hard over to the left, other controls including buttons and di…

Questions for RL 737 pilots: Is VNAV normally used for descents? Or FLC? VS? When using VNAV is it usual to get the “drag required” message? I find that using VNAV I get the message virtually every time.

don’t you have to manually add in the fuel you are actually carrying in that plan/fuel location? If my simbrief plan says 9.1, I put that in the ‘plan section’ and most of the time the fuel section is usually .1-.2 tone more i.e 9.1-9.2

Re the ‘drag required’ yes, it’s fairly common. Can’t speak for others but unless it’s miles out, or exceeding a set restriction on the STAR by more than 10kts I tend to ignore it to be honest. The atmosphere is unpredictable so it’s an inexact science for the FMC but it generally does a good job.
