This is an early version have to continue to tweak the seat colors and have to do the carpeting but it's coming along nicely. Hope to have this up by Friday at the latest, hope you all like.This will, of course, work on the -700, 800 and 900.Jason Diazhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83085.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83086.jpg

When stalling the 737-700 the nose dropped without a judder or one wing falling away.Is this normal in the real aircraft?Cliff

Hi !As you said that your plane would be highly detailed i was sure you would also have a look on the detail of the livery.The Lufthansa 747-400 has a Special Upper Deck, it has 2 more windows on the right side, used in the lavatory.ThanksMarcello

I have to say first off that finally having time off this summer to practice with my PMDG 737NG is fantastic! Now, with that I have two issues I've found so far that irk me. First, where is the selection made to switch between active Comm radios, i.e. the switch to transmit on one and receive on the other. I have keyboard commands set up now to switch, but there still is no visible display on the PMDG 737NG radio stack or anywhere else as to which channel you actively are on. On the default MS FS radio stacks you have that capability, as do most every other addon aircraft I've seen. Secondly, as we're talking radios, where are the switches to turn on/off the Nav iden…

Gentlemen:I installed the Service Update for the B1900D this afternoon and am happy with the changes--except for one thing: I'm not getting any sounds in the spot-plane view. Exterior and VC are fine, but nothing to hear in the exterior view. All other planes are working fine. Anybody else having this problem?Regards.

I know you guys are working hard at this project, but I am just trying to get a general idea as to what to expect regarding this product.My questions,1 - Will the product be made to the same standard as the 737-800/900 or will it be more in line with the PMDG lite 1900D?2 - Given the limitations of MSFS, can this product be ultimately comparable to the PS1.3a simulation by aerowinx?I am trying to ascertain whether this product will have the potential to be used as a training aid. As a real life airline pilot, I can honestly say that your B737-800/900 software is most certainly usable as a training aid. Although there are a few minor bugs, there is nothing currently avai…

Whenever I load the PMDG 737-600/700 the trim automatically trims down so when I try to fly my plane goes literally straight up, also I try to correct the trim but it doesn't move. Anyway I can fix this?

hi allcan someone tell me,when i go to select the arrival runway at an airport there is like 10 different approaches to chose fromfor example there is a funny number before the runway like 103232ILS01 then there is VOR 01 then there is just the runway number itself like 01.what does this 13131ILS01 mean ?thx

Are there any plans add 3D switches to the overhead panel in the virtual cockpit as the default aircraft have? I find it a bit tricky with the flat switches to know what position ther're in.Also, with all the talk now turning to the 747, does that mean that the ACARS and IRS for the 737 have been axed? Or will they be added after the 747 is released?Thanks for any ino.-~Phil

I love the 737 NG 600-900, and the manual is very comprehensive. Trouble is, trying to fly whilst screen-swapping to read the PDF is a real hindrance. I don't mind running off small manuals on my home printer to use, but to run this manual off on my inkjet will cost a small fortune. I spoke to someone I know in my local printshop, but they said that they couldn't print the manual off for me because of copyright. Is there any way that this can be addressed? Surley manuals of this size and complexity should be able to be p[rinted off once within the EULA?Cheers

Heeeeeyyy!I have so many butterflies in my stomach that I already have started to copy/past flightplans for the various 747s from some of the worlds airlines...I use this txt file to then decide where to fly and what time and flightnumbers to use...This is something I did in the NG's mid life state, but this is something I already have done with the 747...I know this might not sound like much but hey what preperation is there to do???I have a question for you though...I saw a table on AIA's forums that showed a poly count of your 737NG model, and well it was NOT pretty!Now I love your model, but I do not like the frame rates I get in external view at airports.Have you any…

Cannot get MCP to work with PMDG 737 600/700. Will work with FS 2004 B737. Have loaded the mcpfw104 and patch2 from CPflight. Knowing my skill level in computers I probably did it wrong. If any body can help me with step by step instructions I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks Frank

Hi All, I have a question for the pros: Is the ability to enter the forecasted winds (DES page, FORECAST option) used much in real life? I have had the chance to jump seat on a couple of flights on the -800 and did not see that the FORECAST option was actually used. I saw the flight plan the captain had, and it did list the predicted winds at all the waypoints in the flight plan at various levels. If one were to use that in our simulation, would the best option be to use ActiveSky to get the weather from VATSIM and then taking the information from there (ActiveSky, that is)? Also, what levels would you enter? I do assume that the functionality in the PMDG FMC is actually …

Hi there I seem to have a problem after installing the recent small update.I now get the message ' FSUIPC 290 or later required to run pmdg products ' well I am using the registered version and have not had any problems previously.Anyone seen this error message before?Maddon

Hi Everyone,I have read the manual a few times trying to figure out how to insert altitude constraints like pass at/below 17000 but I cant figure it out. Can anyone give me a hand?Thanks,

My PMDG 737NG seems to have become unstable. Can I re-install it over my present installation, or do I need to uninstall it first?I have the 800-900 with the temporary patch.Tnanks Gabriel

trying to install the new service pack, but a message comes up saying you have to have the B1900D installed etc etc, then the installer quits. I have purchased and installed the 1900, can anyone help me out with this problem?

Hi all, I am currently in a world tour using PDMG 737 CD Version.What is the Shortest route in NM that a 737 would fly for an Airline?When the update for the 737NG is released will we see the improvements in the models using less poligons in the VC and the overhead clickable?I know that once the update is out I will have to run and buy the 800 900 because I don't have it, in order to get those improvements, am I right?I hope the 747 rolls out fast from the Factory... I need it to continue with my trip!!!Thanks for the best AC in FS history.

Hi guys - is there a way to imprt flight plans into the FMC of the 737-800? I have tried exporting FP's from FS Nav into the flightplans folder, but the FMC will not recognize any of the formatsMany thanks in advance, Philip

Hi all,I have a question about payware packages in general I'd like to put to people.First up, if this is considered inappropriate by the PMDG folk, I am happy to remove the post, however as a forum populated by knowledgable users of payware aircraft I'd appreciate some advice...OK, with that out of the way here goes!Besides the PMDG 737NG packages (which I KNOW are good!), what products do people here recommend as being particularly good purchases? Reviews are one thing but as a community of payware users, what else do people recommend in the way of FS2K4 payware?On the other side of the coin, are there any packages that don't represent good value or simply don't perform…

Hello, Captains,Could anyone tell me where (directory) to install the PMDG Liveries.I assume it should be <.../FS9/Aircraft/... > but OMDG has aircrafts grouped by type (-600, -700 etc).Thanks for any clue.BPilot

I was just wondering what PMDG, and others, think of X-Plane? I haven't used it yet, just downloading the demo/patch version to see what its like. Would you ever consider producing products for it?:-)

Hi !I've got some problems with the Sid/Stars on FMC.For example on Miami Airport i got a runways not found error and no Sid/stars were available for Miami.I downloaded the latest Sid/Star all in one package on www.navdata.at.any hinds?Marcello
