United 747 Landing at Kennedy

FLying the 31L ILS approach at Kennedy in a slight crosswind with rain and clouds. United PMDG 747 400. You'll notice that during the virtual cockpit portion of the video, the aircraft continuously calls out "too low flaps." This is a result of my poor skills at making flight videos. I flew the appraoch with flaps 30, and retracted them when I landed. All the while, I was using FS2004's video recorder to capture the footage so i could record it later with FRAPS. When I recorded the footage with fraps, the flaps were retracted, resulting in the wierd callouts, when during the actual landing, they were extended completely. Also, it may appear as if the ILS bars representing the glideslope and localizer on the second PFD screen are missing. Once again, this is due to the fact that the FMC cleared the NAV1 frequency of the ILS for 31L, so when I recorded my footage with fraps, the navigation bars didnt show up. I just figured out that in order for the aircraft to be configured properly during a flight video, you must put configure its systems the way that you want, before playing the video. In other words, the configuration of the aircraft is not saved for flight videos. Is there any way around this?

[jbflight405617]

no, its the 747 400 by PMDG. its a great add on.

how you get the wiper on

[jbflight405617]

the knobs that control the wipers for both sides of the windshield are located above the landing/taxi light switches.

@AirbusA380rox What the heck are you on about? PMDG aircraft come with a 2d cockpit. You must have a cheap version of It.

@jbflight405617 do i need PMDG to turn on the wipers?

[AirbusA380rox]

i dislike the pmdg for fs9. there is only a vc and if you want 2d cockpit you have to download it and it doesn't work well

@rickyguti

ok thanks man...really appreciate it....and please give me the link of the PMDG

[rickyguti]

@louisekaille sure, download a torrent, a torrent downloader, and install the Queen of the Skies for free, with EVERYTHING included.

@rickyguti

is this Free PMDG what your saying?

[antichavista1000]

XD what a crazy landing no flaps OVERSPEED LOL!, well that's one of the good things of any of the MSFS including FSX you can use it as a game or as a a training tool , specially with this PMDG which is one of the most realistic model having an accurate Flight Dynamics among many other good things .

But I don't like is that NAV1&2VOR ILS has to be set in the FMC ,real 747-400 you can set it in the centre console MANUALLY
