PMDG General Forum

Can anyone provide me with info on where I may access the SU2. I have the web link but it has changed - no longer available. I already have service update for 1.2 to 1.3. I also have the latest 800/900 product. I had to re-install everything and starting all over again.

Hello,I use CH Yoke and Pedals. After updating my Fleet to 738/9 I have the same Problems with the Autobrake (Autobrake disarm) explained by other users. Can somebody explain me the best setting to fix this problem.Thanks for InformationStefan

HelloJust wanted to tell you about error in one install file:PMDG737-900 Boeing Corporate.EXEAfter installation, aircraft does not load proper textures for the non-VC model. And this is due to error in the line in the aircraft.cfg file:It says:texture=PMDGShould say:texture=BCAG

I'm very interested in purchasing the PMDG 737. It looks great, but I really like flying corporate stuff and was wondering if it comes with any BBJ liveries. Or even anything like a Net Jet or a private livery would be great. Thanks for the help!

Fellow Captains, While I was awaiting and still am an email from Tom Van about the flag information I painted a Hamburg International. I am going on vacation tomorrow so I do not know if I will have it uploaded. The Futura should be uploaded by tomorrow if I get the information from Tom. I have some pictures. Feeback is welcome. Enjoy. Scott

Hi, There is still one thing that is never corrected: when we load the aircraft engine start levers are always ON in the pedestal. That bug comes from the beginning and if you save the configuration and then you load the aircraft from that situation, that

I have been involved in Internet dicussion groups and newsgroups on aviation and simulation related topics for about 9 years. In my opinion, this Forum is the best of any I have tried on the internet. The questions are good questions , and the answers are just as good, and the usual Internet "noise level" appears to be totally absent. I really enjoy visiting this group and reading the posts, in fact it is my favorite " Sim" place to visit as of late. Not only is the PMDG aircraft great, but so is this Forum :)Keep up the good work!!

Do commercial airline pilots fly IFR or VFR, also do they use SIDS/STARS for landing procedures?STEVE

Hi fellow pilots,I'm looking to buy a weather program or weather radar program.What about Activesky 2004? Any 737 drivers use it? If so,whats it like? does it generate better weather than the default FS9 weather?Also I've been looking into Reality xp's weather radar,anyone care to comment on it.Your opinions would be appreciated.Thanks,Regards,Martin.:-)

Hi,I've noticed tonight that GMT as reported by the FMC was about 5 minutes slower than my clock time(allowing for Daylight Saving). Can anyone tell me how I can reset it so that the time is accurate?Thanks in advance,Frank

I am still making my way through Timothy Metzinger's complex 737NG tutorial, and have encountered a problem. As part of the pre-flight preparations, Timothy recommends(p18) that the engine start levers be moved to idle, then back to cutoff, to ensure that the start valves are closed. However, this procedure causes the ENG VALVE CLOSED and SPAR VALVE CLOSED lights to illuminate bright blue, which indicates that the valve in question is in transit, or disagrees with the commanded switch position(7-79 of the AOM). I presume it is the second of the above explanations which is correct in this case, as the lights remain brightly illuminated and it is not possible to correct the…

Hi All,Just another 737 paint, yawn, :-lol, anyways, hope you think its ok ;)CheersDan.http://www.flightsin.com/737_m0.jpghttp://www.flightsin.com/737_m1.jpghttp://www.flightsin.com/737_m2.jpghttp://www.flightsin.com/737_m3.jpg

I downloaded the updates for the 737 series 700-900 the other day and installed them as per instructions. I found that in the 737-700 with the virtural cockpit or cabin that the fuel pump switches on the overhead panel not only refused to click but the lights were not on. On the other switches, the cursor changed to indicate you could click it except on this panel. The 2d cockpit seemed to be fine as did the 800/900 series. Diving into the panel config, I noticed that the line for the gages didn't match up to the backup copy or to the ones in the panels that worked. When I changed only that line for the fuel pumps in the configuration, the switches worked like a charm. …

Fellow captains, I have just completed Icelandair Old Colors and New Colors. You may download them from my site. http://www.geocities.com/pmdgrepaints The url will soon be http://flightsin.vze.com If you are curious as to why it is the same as Dan's is because we were thinking about merging, the idea is still on the drawing board. I hope you enjoy. When you get to the web site go under scott's menu and then click "repaints". Feedback is welcome. Scott

Hi,Just looking round some of the other developers websites and a lot of them have a forum such as this,but some also have a screenshot page were we can upload and share with others screenshots of your excellent aircraft:-) Its always good to look at interesting shots of where other pilots fly to,and with FS9's better weather generator some quality shots could be there for all too see.:-) Perhaps a monthly screenshot competition.Any thoughts?Regards,Martin.:-)

How will PMDG be represented at the September AVSIM conference in Denver? .... and if not, why not?

Does anyone know if someone has created a Voice Buddy checklist for any of the planes?Thanks,Joe

HiI just downloaded the 738/9 package and am having a few problems.Firstly, the yaw dampner will not stay on. I switch it on, it stays on for a few seconds then switches to off.Secondly, the autothrottle will not stay on. I switch it on, the 'arm' comes up very briefly, then it goes back to off.Has anyone got any suggestions?I am not starting from a cold flightdeck, I just load the plane with all engines ready to go.

Hello,Would someone make BIKF(keflavik, Iceland) procedures???I'm just terable in making these things.Thanks in adv.

Hi, just upgraded to the latest version and have done 2 flights now. In BOTH flights, I experienced something strange. Just cruising along, nothing out of the ordinary and then suddenly the plane would go in a 4000 fpm dive. VNAV got disconnected, ALT was still set at cruise level and Autopilot was still connected. Still, a dive. Had to switch off autopilot & autothrottle and tried to get her out of the dive. First time it succeeded, 2nd time the overspeed was too much and the airframe overstressed. On the 2nd flight it happened once at cruiselevel and the 2nd time was at 4000 ft during the approach. That's not much air between my plane and the hard Dutch soil, I'll t…

Hi fellow Captains,I'm adding 4 more screenshots of my KLAX-KDEN flight.Hope you'll appreciate.Here someone at FL340 below in the opposite direction:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/86436.jpgThis shot is overflying Las Vegas, very nice view, the airport and some of the big hotels on the Strip:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/86437.jpgApproaching the "Mile High City" from the West, crossing FL240 descending:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/86438.jpgTurning right to regain the localizer for Rwy 26, that is just in front (tight left turn on the LOC and overshoot a little...), nice light with the setting sun:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/86439.jpg

Hi.I think this is the best place to ask this since PMDG customers now what is quality.I own the 737 PMDG planes, but I need to complete my fleet with the best out there:1 GA Single prop Aircraft1 GA Twing Engine Prop AC1 Twin Engine Prop Commuter.I own the B1900, it is good but I am looking for something better, I need Systems simulations, the best FD, full of docummentation and performance to the numbers, just like PMDG 737's - and I am A VC lover, so most of the flying should be from the VC.Please fell free to suggest:How about Siai Marchetti SF.260?? Is there something better?what about the other 2 categories?Thanks

Hello,Sometimes when you make an IFR flight with the FS ATC, we can loose the sort of slash on the ND during the descent. How can we do to make it reappear ?Thanks.

I tried the Geezer guide and things worked more of less normally. When I program my own flight plan into the FMC (via FSNav and the patch for this task) things start to go pear shape. The flight plan comes up as complete. I take off and reach maximum altitude without any problem. Then the VNAV light goes out, and wont come back on again. No matter which buttons I press, VNAV light stays out, even when I should be descending. There`s a message on the FMC which says "Check MCP altitude". I`m at 25000 and the altitude is set to 5000 on the MCP so surely VNAV should be working. Then I get another message which says "VNAV Dis-connected".Most of the time I use Radar Contact, s…

Does anyone know why this site below does not show fixes that are transatlantic.....example: go to site and type in the departure airport: KEWR and the arival airport of EDDM. THIS IS A TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT. Fixes should pop up after pressing the find route button... none show. It just says unable to find the route. Why is this? Does anyone know of a better web site similar to this one that will show transatlantic routes with fixes?THE SITE IS: http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/Thanks,Brandon
