A substantial bit of digging to model the door warning on spool up! Just a transient but pretty strange. Mostly a pretty convincing sim experience, still control tuning for the most authentic presentation. Not doing perfect flights yet.
It’s not just the over-wing exits that can cause nuisance warnings in the flightdeck. If when the cabin crew close the main doors they don’t push the door handle down firmly the proximity switch can also wiggle a little during take off. It’s a safe state but it can trigger a door light in the flight deck. It’s happened many times. So much that we always remind them of this during the pre-flight briefing to avoid unnecessary rejected take-offs (Below 80kts we’ll stop for anything).

2nd time in the last 10 flights that my right engine failed. First time was on the ground, taxying to the runway, 2nd time was on final approach. I didn’t get any master caution alerts, just noted that the autothrottle disengaged and when I looked down to figure out what was going on, noted that the right engine had shut down. Any thoughts on what the issue is?
Maybe any button with shut down function assigned…and you don’t know about that. Check “Controls Options”

It’s not a PMDG issue. Never had it. Most probably a controller binding or some AI stuff

If you have a throttle quadrant with mixture control levers (used for flying piston aircraft), be aware that they can shutdown the engines on the PMDG 737 if they move out of the “full rich” position.

Very weird pushback. As soon the aircraft is lifted it makes a complete rotation. What is going wrong? I was using the external pushback app. Meanwhile I discovered that it only happens at EDDP.
Any ideas?
Obviously an airport problem.
Which one? There are several that can handle pushback. Using GSX, I have never experienced that anywhere.
I’ve seen other planes do this on VATSIM. Some sort of FSLTL model-matching mayhem, I guess.
Seems like every flight I’ve had in the last couple of weeks I’ve looked up at some point in the flight and the left Engine Start knob has mysteriously moved from Auto to GRD. I’ve gone through my Spad.Next profile XML file to look for any control conflicts, none found.
Anyone else seen this? I’m rarely on the overhead view, so unlikely to be some mouse clicking.
I have hundreds of flights in all variants of the 737 in the sim and literally never had that occur. Very definitely something amiss in your system one way or another. The obvious suggestion is to try some flights without using Spad.Next at all and see if it occurs.

Does anyone know why everytime I get an PMDG update I start outside the cockpit (first officer side) ?
Never had that occur. Are you using custom camera settings that are being overwritten?
Also, what PMDG update? There hasn’t been one in several weeks at least.
just updated.. Not using custom views.. I’ll try to completely remove it and reinstall.. Since I don’t know the standard custom views.
No updates on my end 
@ScoobyDK Maybe its your VR settings somehow?
But again, there hasn’t been any PMDG update in quite a while. What exactly did you “just update?”

Anyone having any weirdness if you opt to do a second flight without closing out and re-starting MSFS? I’ve tried it a few times (want to just simulate a quick turnaround and depart from the same gate for another leg. Having issues with GSX and FSLT. I suppose I could just not close out of the first flight but then loose (the little that there is) ATC functionality. Any thoughts?
I also think so. Never had it again in oyher airport.
Few questions for RL pilots (know we’ve got a few here). I work about 20 miles South of KBOS This AM, I noticed a Jet Blue A320 overhead, much faster and lower than the typical jet traffic inbound to Logan. I pulled him up on Flight Aware, he was doing 290 at 1,700’. The average jet overhead is at 4,000’, doing around 250-260. I followed him up on the flight tracker, he went straight towards Logan, before turning onto final for 33L a mile or two from the threshold. I assume he was on the visual approach for 33L, wondering how common it is to be that low and fast that far out? Was that altitude requested by the pilot or assigned by Logan Approach? When flying a visual, do you still have the ILS tuned for final guidance or is it truly just flying visual? Weather was perfect this AM, hope that Jet Blue pilot was enjoying him/herself!
