hello,
i've seen on a real 737 that when starting the engines the screens of the pdf and nd go on and off very quickly. can this be done in fs9 with the PM software ?

Phil,
I saw 2 times a 737-800 from a cold start and every times the PFD-ND's screens came to life very very slowly... Much more than pM....!
Strange!

yest that is also true, have you got an idea how we can create this ?
by just turning the power off and on of my computer screen isn't working.

Phil,
I did not noticed that you were talking about when starting the engines... Sorry! So you are certainly right.
And to answer your question how to reproduce it with PM, I have no idea... Maybe someone else...!

Check FSUIPC (key assignement I think) and in the scroll down options you have something to that effect under "PM electrical...."
It is then possible to assign a key that shuts off the displays and makes them slowly returning to normal brightness.
If U do not find it send me a PM.

[phil.]

ok, i will check it out and let you know.

Hi Phil,

what you probably mean is when the GEN´s are changing the BUS...from APU GEN to ENG1 and ENG2 GEN or from external power to APU or ENG GENs.
Then the displays shortly become dark and bright again.
It's discussed in this thread:

This is also already included in the great TSR Boeing 737-NG program.

It's working like a charme for me in my setup

Hope this helps...

hello Ralf,
i have the autobrake pro from thomas richter, will it also work with this or what just do i need to buy ?
Phil.

Hi Phil,

All these functions are not included in AB-Pro.
You need the TSR Boeing 737-NG program,
there is an upgrade option i think .

Just go to Thomas's site or send him a mail.

ok thank you Ralf, so when i buy this, after that do i need to change someting in a certain software lik the PM GC software ?
Phil.
