zap51 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The last few times I have attemted a long flight with my pmdg 747-400X, it has done the weirdest things. I have double checked my FMC and pre-flight setup to make sure everything is right. Read the manual and view several video tutorials . I started a flght from EHAM to KDEN. The first several hundred miles everything is fine, then all of the sudden the plane goes into a type of holding pattern. Then it will lose speed and stall out. I have to disendaged the autopilot and reset everything. It keeps flying around in a circle then stalling out. Anyone else experienced this?

donair Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Did you complete the INIT REF page especially entering your POS ? http://s298.beta.photobucket.com/user/afsouth/media/DonaldLeatonSignature.png.html?sort=3&o=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zap51 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yes I did. I read the manual and followed the tutorials to a T. Another problem with the FMC is it won't delete way points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexzar14 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It doesn't delete it, you must select the next one and enter into the previous. For a starter you can't avoid manuals. Afterwards you can, I don't read these much but when I started (it was a PMDG 737v1), I printed out the whole thing and read it 10-20 pages aday before going to sleep. I skipped some info (10-15%) but the theory and especially the FMS operation I've read 2 times start to end, then I still had to read some sections another 10 or 15 times ))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyclown Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've got the PMDG 747X Model, and I don't have those type of problems during any of my 3000 to 12,000 mile flights just so ya know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap51 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well, it wasn't doing this when I first got the product. Then it started. I used to be able to complete flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefu Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What about -route discontinuity cleared -bad trim, in my case, my ariane b737 looses autopilot and does exactly the same as you. -did you check whats programmed on "hold" key ? - winds, fuel, altitude ? FSX ACCELERATION, ASUS P5QPL VM EPU-INTEL E8400-3GHZ-DDR2RAM4GO-WINDOWS7SP1 -GT220GEFORCE if you never wonder about something, its because you know everything....:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap51 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I just flew the PMDG 747X from KLAX to PHNL no problem. Trim is fine as is route discontinuity. I'll have to try it on a flight that is 4000nm+ and see if it holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
