PMDG 737-800 Advice
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2016 12:12 pm
Hey all,
I purchased the PMDG 737 package and I absolutely love the realism and all the simulations.
I have some questions though about using it on SAX flights:
Does anyone use the flight computer to program in their flights? When you do, do you use the ATC that comes with FS? Do the decent calls from ATC match what is programmed into the flight computer?
Also I tried to do a test flight from KSTL to KDAY and when I was programming my route (GATEWAY6 VHP RID) and I used the active given to me by ATC (12R) and noticed that there was not SID of GATEWAY6. Is that just because of the runway?
Also when arriving at KDAY how would I program the flight computer for a runway not knowing which runway they're going to assign me until ATC tells me when I get my approach clearance? Am I just going about the flight the wrong way?
What do you guys do to program the flight computer to have the most realistic and automated flight possible when flying SAX routes?
Thanks!
Matt
