HiI don't know if this information has already been posted, but, for what it's worth..I live in Spain and therefore have a European/Spanish keyboard. I've discovered that the "

In the recent review for PMDG737, AVSIM claim for an update 1.4 released on April. I have the service update 1/1.1/1.2/1.3 (and the temporary for 800/900) so where is this update?Thanks in advance

Hi,Can someone enlighten me on how the engine start switches should be used to follow IRL procedures. I know you use GRD to start the engines when you're on the ground and the switches then returns to their OFF positions and I think you use FLT if you end up in a situation where you have to start up an engine during flight? But what about the CONT position, when should that be used? Also, which engine should you start first when on the ground - differs between different airlines? And does it happen that you start up both engines at the same time having the IGN knob in it's BOTH position and if not, why is there a BOTH position in the first place?Lots of questions :-) Than…

Captains,just a little engine work and some final tail graphic alignment then this one will be ready for the next livery release.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/77426.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/77427.jpg

Hey allPretty innocent question I suppose. I first purchased the PMDG products all at once and began flying them like they were going out of style. I am very impressed with these aircraft!!!However, seeing as how I wanted a weather system to complement the cockpit realism of PMDG, I went and bought AS2004. I've read in other posts that PMDG A/C and this weather application just don't mix...is that generally true still?The reason I ask is that twice now, when I begin my descent the winds will start shifting and I start getting rocked around pretty good. Then, I hear the FMC chime (no chance to see what it says..although I'm assuming it was overspeed disconnect) and in th…

does anyone know where I can go to get a NON-AIRLINE paint scheme for this product? Has anyone done a private paint?

Hey all,Today was the first day since the 800/900 was released (and the intrim update obviously) that I went back and was gonna fly the 700. However, when I went to load the -700 after clicking "Fly now" FS loaded only to immediately have a black screen with any annoying buzz/hum playing. Went back and first loaded a -800 then switched to a -700 with no problems. Any ideas/suggestions on this one? I'd really like to avoid having to load the -800 and switch to the -700 to fly. Thanks for all the help in advance!

Hello,>> I have a problem each time i save a flight in flght> when i reload this flight , i lose all data in FMC.> Could you give me an explaination and a solution to resolve this problem>> Regards>> R

For all my Tutorials please go to:http://www.teamspeak.organd download the Voice Client so that we can talk whilst flying and so on. This is much faster and easier for everyone. Do not worry if your English is not good as we will also use teh text chats as wellbut it is good that you at leasthear what I am saying as much time can be saved when I am talking people through FMC and MCP setup etc.Once you have TS2 installed please ensure you are using a Press to Talk Key. This is set via the Settings/Sound Input selection. I recommend you use the Scroll Lock key for this.Also please ensure your name is set under Settings/Options/Other tab and use your real name so that I know…

Hi, Im using tcas with the internal fs2004 option, which works fine when airborne, but when I'm on the ground it displays ground traffic with the yellow traffic warning. I believe it shouldn't do this? How do I rectify this?I'm having trouble using aibridge with fsuipc which I think would cure this issue - when using either aibridge2.4 or 3 I see no traffic at all.Thanks for your help!Matt Crowe

Hey,I have been using PMDG 737's whole collection 600/700/800/900, for my computer for about 2 months now...I must admitt a very well made product hands down...I have been having probelms tho...everytime I go to use the 737/900...and as im getting prepared for a flight on the ground...the scenery all around me turns black then back again...like flicking on and off every couple of seconds...its only when I used the 900...i use the 700 and 800 fine, nothing happens...when i first download the 800/900 this didnt happen..but then i started to realize only when i used the 900 it did this....i think, it doesnt do it for any other aircraft...Im in a vitural airline and whenever …

Hi I'm looking for a decent NG flight deck DVD which would compliment the PMDG sim - I've seen a couple on the world air routes site - the Helios and Hapag Lloyd dvd's look OK. Can anyone comment / recommend?Cheers!Matt

Hi all,I have seen several references to the Saitek X45 stick/throttle, has anyone produced a profile for the PMDG B737? If so I would appreciate getting hold of it. I have spent all day trying to poduce one and I thought, why re-invent the wheel. If someones done it.....?

Hello all,I'm new to the PMDG 737 series (600-900). I already did some flights and I'm now trying to board the correct amount of fuel for a trip. Currently I always get the message "Insufficient fuel" from the FMC, after programming the route.What I do is to first use the PMDGLoadManager. I choose the 737-700_Single Model. After I have choosen the pax and loadout I save the loadout. I now start the FS2004 and chosse the PMDG 737-700 aircraft.Now I do my route planning. I now start the PMDG 737 fuel planner exe and push the "Reload payload weight" button. The data is received correctly (it matches the load manager data). I now enter the trip distance (e.g. 600 nm), the fli…

Hello,I have a question about the behaviour in descent of the real 737NG. - When you pass from VNAV to LVL CHG, do you set 240 or 250nds on the MCP ? - In real life, If you are in LVL CHG with a speed of 250nds, is the VS stronger with 250nds than 240nds ?Thanks.

Hi AllI was wondering if anyone would be willing to do a repaintin all or at 2 of the models of the 737. I would like to have a Eastern Airlines livery done in the white and the bare metal they used. I know they never flew any 737's, but Im sure had they stayed around they would be part of their fleet today.A great big thanks to anyone that will do this for me.Thanks

Before I say anthing I want to say how much I love the PMDG! It is absolutely incredible and I take my hat off to you guys for making this exceptional addon...One question however; for some reason the air conditioning is always on..I always hear the air conditioning when I go to Tower or Spot views?How can I switch this off.?Cheers,Daryl

Hi CaptainsPlease could someone point me in the right direction to enable the interior cabin views and/or wing views.Which Manual should I be searching?(BTW, I do not have Active Camera installed.....)ThanksToni.

Hello, I am having trouble with the auto throttle-it will not turn on. What do I have to do to get it working? I click on speed,vnav,to go,fd,etc and nothing happens.... Please help.Thank youAS

Hello there, just a quick question, where can I find the different layouts in the cockpits to be used with the different airlines, thanks a lot,Jacobo D. Dib

It's been a month with these beautiful aircrafts. I'd like to thank developer PMDG and this amazing forum.I admit that I'm fairly new to flight sim and still there are lots of things to learn.This forum has been a great resourses and a teacher since I bought this product from PDMG. thanks again.here is one of my major pains since I fly PMDG B737.How do you plan the flight ?What programs do you use for the planning flights ? I eventually, found that 'Find Route' feature in FS9 create flight section does not generate acurate profiles for this complex FMC.There seems to be lots of other considerations besides VORs & Intersections like optimium crusing alt. , fuel bur…

Hi everyone. While being a big fan of the PMDG 737NG package, I went ahead and bought the 800/900 package so I could fly the ATA 738 around, having once worked for ATA out of KIND, and being there when the first 738 was brought to the ATA hangar by Boeing back in June of 2001. I was in love the first time I saw those winglets after the aircraft came through the hangar doors, and, apparently, everyone else was too. We had a huge party in the hangar that night to celebrate ATA's first NEW aircraft in quite some time (the 753s didn't start showing up for a couple more months). Anyhow, I was looking through the cockpit styles and noticed that ATA wasn't available in the l…

Does anybody know approximatly what the emty weight is of a 737-700 BOEING BUSINESS JET, not counting the pasangers,cargo,fuel.Thanks,Nebojsa

I an attempt to land on the BC of an ILS runway with the -700, it did not capture the BC and the aircraft flew straight on. Close checking this situation on the VOR, the bar is present and where it should be on approach. When the aircraft crosses the axis of the runway it flicks to the opposite side. The bar does not gradually move to the center and align itself as the aircraft turns towards the axis of the runway. It is either one side or the other with full deflection as you cross the axis of the runway back and forth. Tne -800 does the same thing. I checked this with several other aircraft at different airports and this problem does not appear. It is a problem unique …
