Hi,I was wondering how you calculate the wind speed?Look at my pic. and you see all those arrows, how do you calculate the wind speed for a specific arrow??? Then wat is my wind speed for my assigned arrow?Thanks,http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/82817.jpg

Hi I just found this on airliners.net!It would be nice to see it.http://www.airliners.net/open.file/615566/L/

It was a good show, (if a little cramped. Got very busy Saturday, Sunday was easier to move around and try out the sims.Your very own PMDG Lefteris Kalamaras was there as was Aerosoft, RC Sims, Just Flight, Vatsim, Voice Buddy folks. Good Seminars from several people incl Oxford Aviation and Vatsim. One or two very cool sim projectors there and tremendous help and advice from Vatsim people and Bob (RC Sims)Very successful I would say.Thankyou to the organisers for such a good effort.Did anyone else from this forum go?PMDG still top of tree

How you become a beta-tester for PMDG products, and are more beta-testers required??Through my company I have regular access to B737-700/800 & B747-400 full-motion simulators; very useful for comparing the PMDG products with the 'real thing'.Also, we employ about 30 airline pilots to operate the flight simulators for public & corporate visits on their days off; the B737NG and B744 pilots would also be able to provide useful feedback.James Stevensonhttp://www.virtualaviation.co.ukPS: Our NG pilots love PMDG users as they can just sit back and let them get on with it!

Simple as that - can I identify the OAT and windspeed from within the 737 without 'cheating' and using the sim menus please?Thanks:-) (you were as ignorant as me too once.... so thx for patience!)Gordon MacKay

Captains-I would like ONLY those of you who own the 737NG 800/900 and are STILL experiencing issues with their Radio Stack freezing *AFTER* having installed the Interim Update to contact me privately - we're getting closer with the release of the 800/900 update, so I wanted to make absolutely sure we have nailed this issue 100%.Again- only those of you who STILL have this issue AFTER the interim update has been installed, please contact me privately. Due to the number of people who might contact me, I will not guarantee personal replies, but this way, I hope to get a significant number of individuals who can test this exact problem ONLY.(At this point, those of you still …

How do you add ILS frequencies into the 737 databases so they show up in the FMC? KIAHs 26R only shows 0.00 / 260 for the ILS. The freq is 111.55. Also, KMCOs 17L/35R is the same way.

Evening all. The 0407 procedures for the PMDG 737NG are available now at http://home.sw.rr.com/filesherenow/page1.html.Later allTerry

...for the AA 737-800 we'll be getting this month. I'll get reference to do a photoreal -800 on the PMDG model. :) In the meantime, I decided to paint this thing up. It should keep me entertained 'til the AA comes. Opinions welcome, of course...Daniel P.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpgMember of SJU Photography.

Whats your takeoff thrust set at? Is the STAB TRIM set properly?Are the flaps set properly?Floyd

PMDG, Just wondering if the 747 will include the other part of the overhead panel (the part behind the switches) that looks like it has a bunch of lights and stuff on it, I don't know what it is called, but it maybe the circuit breaker panel? I'll try to post a photo of what I'm talking about.P.S. I usually try to post more intelligent messages, but I've had a few, err 10 beers and I don't feel like engaging in deep thought right now. (I'm celebrating because I have a 4.0 in college, and also have finished my academic AWACS training and finally start my formal flying portion of my training on AWACS.)Thanks,Jeff Smith USAFhttp://www.airliners.net/open.file/596900/L/

Does anyone know if Terry Yingling has a site to download the latest SID/STARS or does he release them through PMDG?

Thanks for any advice in a advance.I have been using the PMDG -700 for a long time now and have been very happy with it. The handling is wonderful and I'm very comfy in the cockpit.I recently got the 800/900 and I feel like I've taken a step back to what I've been used to. The plane doesn't auto land the same, the spoilers are not pilot friendly anymore. I also don't enjoy the pitch issue I've seen with the 800/900's.My real question is if I go back and reinstall the -700 will it mess anything up? I want to be able to fly the -700 again with the old panel and still keep the 800/900's with the new panel cause I don't want to give up on it just yet. PMDG is a great com…

I moved my FS2004 to WinXP from Win98SE, without a reinstall. Basically Win98SE is better for gaming as you dont use much of the extra "desktopyness" of XP and its more minimal and uses less resources. However it only supports 512Mb of RAM and I had just upgraded to 1024.Jumping into the game, it all worked fine.... Except that the 737 AP was drunk. It attempted to land me 50 foot of the runway in the grass and when I hit TO/GA and set a heading for downwind all appeared normal, but... then it started making up headings on it's own. I checked and double checked modes and disengaged and reengaged, I even altered headings and everything, but yet it ignored me and flew …

Hi PMDG Team,will there be a BBJ version of any B737-700/-800/-900 or even all versions build as BBJ? Have you descided if you will create BBJ at all for us?

I just found this list of FMC software revisions and I noticed a lot of interesting features in the latest 10.5 version.Are there any plans of adding them to the PMDG 737NG in the (near) future? I'd love to see GLS and IAN and the improved VNAV (FPA limit) :)regards,Wanne.Update 10.5 - 10 Feb 2003 - Ref 737-SL-34-172Approach Ref Entries- The Approach Ref page will now accept landing flap entries of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10 or 25 for the landing flaps, with a corresponding manual Vref entry, in addition to the standard landing flap settings (15, 30, 40) for non-normal procedures such as landing with flap asymmetries.

I can't seem to open the cargo bay door on the B1900D. Shift-E opens the front door fine, but when I try to use the Shift-E-2 combination, the front door shuts and the radio stack appears! Any ideas?PS Love the aircraft!
