Hello.. i have just buy the SSG 747-8 Intercontinental Advanced package version 1.92. when i start the plane in cold and dark mode. All the switch that has the flip i unable to unclick it or flip open it. Kindly advise i need to do anything changes to make it work. other button without flip it works. Thanks
hi guys just got the 747 8f version .i can bind most of the glareshield to my switch panel but not the overhead is it me or the way you have done the plane .many thanks andy
I have tried multiple times from two different airports, KLAX and CYUL, to fly this plane. I am new to it but already fly the FlightFactor A320 and the Zibo 738 without issues. The LNAV is completely messed up. It IS on a heading and it suddenly turns out of the path and banks hard, crashing the plane. I recorded videos of all the preparations I made and I am sharing the link below. It also seems like, both these airports have a "vector" component to the flightplan, which means ATC should be vectoring me. But even when I get rid of the vector portion, like I've done with other planes and flights, the plane has a hard time keeping its LNAV. I also see that inputs from the yoke actually change the plane's course, even though I'm using the FMC with LNAV and VNAV engaged, possibly because it was already off-course right after take-off. The first flight from KLAX, the plane was in climb for a while without issues, when suddenly it veered into a hard bank and crashed.
Here is the link to the videos. There are 5 but the 5th one is where the crash occurs. The others are just preparation videos, so you can check if I missed something. My flight plan is in UFMC format, not FMS format.
I can't copy/paste the log.txt file probably because the post has a character limit. I have posted this on the X-Plane forum also. And there doesn't seem to be any way to attach std files here...
Using X-Plane 11.34, SSG 748i version 1.9.2 and CH Flight sim yoke and pro pedals.
**NOTE: I just tried again but this time, did not use an imported flight plan, and manually entered the entire flight plan and the dep/arr in the FMC. After about 2 waypoints after take-off, the plane again veered off course and had extreme bank angle and crashed.
I also noticed that I cannot import an FMS format flight plan following the instructions. Nothing is showing in the FMC after several attempts, after selecting the correct file name from the X-Plane\output\fms ... folder.
I want an explanation for this ASAP! Otherwise, I want a refund!!!
So can you help me figure out what is wrong? I have flown the 747-400 from PMDG many years ago, on FSX and FS2004, so I am somewhat familiar with the 747 series.
Just to update my post from the veering to the side problem... It turned out to be a totally unexpected problem - with my pedals! I had used the CH Pro flight pedals which were old and totally unbalanced. When I checked the response curves in X-Plane, I realized that full rudder deflection on one side was only up to 69% and it went well past 100% on the other side. I manually calibrated the pedals using X-Plane's own response curve tool and the problem was basically resolved!
Since then, I have purchased new pedals - the MFG Crosswinds, and love them. They are extremely stable and have a high degree of control and physical adjustability.
*As for other problems with the SSG 748i, here is how I have worked around them:
(1) Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) not increasing or decreasing quantities - I accidentally noticed that using my mouse's scroll wheel works perfectly but clicking on the + and - signs do not, so I'm using my wheel. Of course, this won't be much help to those who don't have a mouse with a wheel.
(2) Fuel quantity calculation from SimBrief is totally different compared to the SSGs FMC. You can do two things here: Adjust the SimBrief "airframe" for the 747-8 with edit aircraft/airframe option on Simbrief and add, say 20% to the Simbrief calculated fuel. Or just use the FMC fuel calculation after you have entered all the weights into the EFB.
I actually find the SSG 748i extremely stable during a manual landing. It probably is true in real life too. The 748 is the longest plane in the world. If you have good quality hardware (which I learned the hard way from the experience with the pedals), you'll find that fine inputs result in small, controlled movements of the plane when landing. So if you have irratic behaviour, it's either you doing too many corrections during a manual landing which amateurs like us tend to do sometimes, or your hardware is not calibrated, oversensitve or getting too old.
Hi. I bought b747-8 months ago.when I first installed it, it run very well. I had to format the hard drive of muy laptop. I reinstalled x-plane 11 and the airplane. But I need the activation code. And I don t know where to look it for. Can you help me
I have just downloaded VMAX-747-v2 B 747-8 Inter Anniversary Edition.I am using a 27” iMac with X Plane 11. When the zip file was decompressed, I copied it into X Plane Aircraft in Finder, ran X Plane and clicked on the SSG V2 B747-800 icon. I changed the scenery to KSEA. The aircraft is sitting on a taxiway at Seattle, dead - nothing running. My trackpad arrow works but I cannot get anything to happen. It will not switch anything on or activate anything.
What am I doing wrong. Any ideas.
Hi I am starting to get problems where problems didn't occur before. On approach despite selecting APP and following the glide path aircraft will not auto-land? This wasn't an issue before?
I bought the SSG V2 B747 anniversary about 2 month and until now i wasn't able to do a single flight. The FMC is not taking my flight plan. try to loaded through simbrief file but the FMC rejected the file. I cannot see the arrival airport also when flight try to choose that on the FMC.
Hi, I recently updated the 747 800 I and Freighter to V1.9.2. but I have a problem.
X-plane 11 crashes when loading SSG 747-8
isn't there anyone who can help me?
Hi please, send us the file log.txt after load and crash, this file is located into the x-plane folder.thanks
you can use the support e mail for that support@supercriticalsimulation.com
