Just a quick question, what rating do I have to achieve to obtain the A340 rating. I've checked the manual but it doesnt really specify wether I need the 747 or 777.

Can yo use the PMDG 747 for the check ride? I was thinking of the 747 rating.

Lucky me, who recieved B747 and A340 with the old B777-Rating. =) However, I was told that I'm not allowed flying any payware for my 757 Check-Ride. Why would there be any differences to higher stages?

I guess it has to do with ACARS can see if the auto pilot mode is on with the PMDG aircraft but not the other, and every check ride I have done, part of it is flown without auto pilot engaged.

I'm sure you could, but it has been my experience the payware are more accurate.

I dont think default 747 installer is allowed.
When i did my CR, it only said to use PMDG, either Fleet, no other options.

still the fleet aircraft is the ifly 747-400 which is still very realistic with and fmc and fully working overhead panel....so even the fleet is accurate. i use pmdg though best 747 addon ever

I seriously doubt it as all the developers are abandoning FS9 in faver of FSX even though both are out of production.
