PMDG General Forum

Lots of people have asked the same question recently - when will all the new liveries we've seen previewed ("going for installer writing") be available to download from the PMDG website?Nobody from PMDG ever replies to these questions.Please PMDG, can we have an answer?ThanksJames Stevenson

I seem to be unable to turn this display on, im talking about the one just infront of the throttle unit?All other displays are litAny suggestions?cheers steve

I`ve just finished my first flight. I can`t say the FMC behaved impecably, but I`m sure that`s down to me.I was lined up perfectly with the APP switch on. Then it went out, but the aircraft still came in for a perfect landing. Is it normal for the APP to switch off but still work?Also, I couldn`t get a second autopilot to light up, even though I was perfectly lined up.One final point - the manual says there are two flight director switches. Is this a missprint or am I going blind?Hope you guys can help.Cheers,David

When I load SIDS and STARS from the latest data on the PMDG website, none of the SIDS and STARS have any altitude or speed constraints in them - I have to insert them myself. When I have loaded these before in A320 PIC they contain all of this detail. I thought the whole point of these was to make sure aircraft were at the right height at fixed points - Have I got something missing ? Also can I use the SIDS and STARS in A320 PIC with the PMDG FMC ?

I know probably you'll have a plan on what to do next after the 744 but the quality of the 737-600/700/800/900 is excellent and you should think about doing the rest of the family 200/300/400/500 or maybe sometime in the near future doing a 757-200/300?Your planes are really out of this world and designed to such a high quality, I cant wait to be behind the yoke of the 747-4 roaring down the runway! :(Kez..Tcx

This is the first version of the 737-800 in the new United Airlines colors.I will upload it after checking it for errors.CheersThomashttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83370.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83371.jpg

Hi all,Dear PMDG members: We all are still impressed (as you should know) with your great products for Flight Simulator.Since flying the PMDG 737 NG family has been (and still is) an excellent experience to us, it's normal that all of us do both, flying the 737 and thinking about what products are still to come.Usually some of us start a new thread with this issue. In a few hours, the thread has not less than 25 replies. And always the same thing happens...This is why I would like to suggest you a little *easy* thing: could you (PMDG members) please start a new poll in this forum so we can vote (simply vote, no comments) for one model?I really think this is the best optio…

Hi folks,when using the virtual cockpit model with the 737NG (both 600/700 and 800/900 series), I lose control over the engines after about 2-3 minutes. At this time, the throttles move to about 50 % N1 and stay there, without a chance to move them in any way (by throttle levers, engaging AT and TOGA, not even dragging them by mouse or using the F1-F4 commands).This problem stays until I load a totally different plane (loading another NG, even with 2D panel only, does not solve it).Setup:FS 9, PMDG 600 - 900 with updates and service packs installed, Precision Flight Control Throttles, all drivers and FSUIPC up to date.This problem seems to only occour with the VC model. A…

When saving halfway through a flight, when i reload it every setting is lost and i have to pause it to resetup everything again, this seems to be the case with all planes apart from the default ones.Iv always assumed its an MS thing, i dont spose it can be gotten round ne way?Steve

I was wondering if any of you talented painters is willing to paint the 737-700 in the new Maersk Air colors? There is one available in the avsin library, but the color is wrong.Joseph Feleppa

I'm using a multiple PC/Monitor FS2004-PMDG737-800 setup with WideView: - 1 Server with 4 monitors (2 for the mainpanel **here is my problem**, 1 for the overhead panel and 1 for the FMS and pedestal)- 3 clients with 1 monitor each, one showing "frontleft-", the others "front-" and "front right-view".The problem:The mainpanel has a fix small post with the inbuilt whiskey compass.To get a bigger undocked mainpanel stretched over 2 18 inch monitors, I had to cut off the small post and the compass from the original 800panel.bmp file, and I repositioned the gauges.Everything works fine and it looks great during daytime.When I change to night, the gauges are dislocated! Can an…

Hey PMDG,I was wondering if you still plan to release some modified BBJ models for the 737NG customers. I know Robert was talking about some BBJ's in the past but I haven't heard anything about it ever since. Although you guys are probably focussing on the 747 it would be awesome to have an extended range 737 or 738, in order to fly some Private Air flights over the pond.kind RGDS,Flo (TXL, Germany) http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Hi, I`m new to this aircraft and have a problem with the FMC. I was doing a flight from London to Manchester. My cruise altitude was 25,000. The FMC took me to 5000, but when it was required to go to 25,000, it went up so slowly that it would never have the required height at the checkpoint. It got to about 8000 and then made no further climb. Vnav was lit, the FMC was showing 25000 and I had set the altimeter to 25000.Any help would be appreciated.Cheers,David

Hello mates,GPSis there a GPS system ? Something similar as the default fs one. Not so much for navigation (i use FMC) but for viewing a geographic map of the area flying above.StairsI own the latest edition of B700-600 NG. I follow the instructions of the manual (on how to extract/retract using The Ctrl+F10, F11) keys but it doesn't work. Any idea ?UpgradeI am a bit confused on how to upgrade from B600/700 to B800/900 version. At first is that possible and if it is so, is it going to be a free upgrade download ? orThe package of B800/900 is something completely different that someone has to buy ?Thanx in advanced,nikolas vegas

Hello PMDG,and sorry but i really would like to know when we can expect the B747-400 previews? and eventually, approximatively, when will it be available?Thanks a lot.

Hello ladies and gents, I am doing an Icelandair B737-700 for everyone out there, especially the eager ansgar. Here are some preview pictures. I am only about 1/3 done because I am doing a package. I will be completing Icelandair New Colors, Old Colors, and the cargo scheme. So I will let everyone know when it is done. Feedback is always welcomed. Thanks and enjoy the pictures. Scott

hi guys .. Im new to the forum ..Ive been having some trouble with framerates on pmdg not that my system is the best to run it .. but I am getting a new system in the next month .. however I really love aviation and cant stop using fs9 not even for a second .. The 737-800 is my favorite plane and now that I got the chance to fly it as close to realism as possible I really dont want to give it up .. my framerates go down to 5 most of time around detailed airports and my sliders are really back so that isnt it .. I even tried pulling back all my sliders just to check it out and well framerates didnt go any higher than 6.. and on non detailed airports it stays around 7.8 .. …

Hello, I'm using the pmdg 800/900 and when engage the CWS mode if i press the keyboard to roll nathing happens, the question is the cws works using the keyboard instead of a joystick? or i'm wrong the way i use it? If a enage the CMD mode instead of the CWS, always appears in the display CWS P and CWS R activated, is it normal?thanks

With the future of FFS so uncertain, why don't you guys go ahead and do a Saab 340B? We all discussed it here a while back, but then Flight Factory Simulations announced theirs and assured us all that it would be soon. Members of that team have worked on a Saab 340, on and off, for almost 4 years. Something always happens to get in the way. In the meantime, it keeps others from doing it . I think it would be an ideal choice for an Express product. Anyone second the motion?CH

I downloaded the latest version of PMDG Sidstars_0407 and when I try to select an approach for KMIA ( Miami International) I get an error that states "Runway 08L unknown, as soon as I go to the Approach page." I looked at the MIA file and everything appears to be OK. I did notice however that in FS9 , they show the runways at Miami as 9R-27L and 9L-27R and 8-26, while the navdata MIA file in PMDG ( which I believe is the correct one) shows an 8L-26R and 8R-26L and a 9-27. I believe the problem is the FS9 runways are incorrectly labeled, but I am at a loss as to how to fix it. Anyone else run into thisBob
