Hi all, could someone tell me if the term 'heavy' relates only to the '747 queen of the skies' or also to other types, such as the 737, etc.Also, is there a definitive list of abbreviations used in the aeronautical world available to us newbies, on a particular website.Thanks.Keith Sandford

Hello I have a question for real 737 pilot life. How do you make a descent with the plane? Are you all the time in VNAV during the descent? If you use LVL CHG, when do you activate it ? A last question, If your are to high on your FMC descent plan (with lvl chg or v/s) do you make a holding point?Thanks in advance

A while ago I posted a flight in another forum. A reallife pilot made a comment. I had a question, but the I didn't get a respons yet.So, I'll ask the same question here:Shot 4http://forums.fs2002.com/uploaded/may04/fsscr015.jpg>> IRL Pilot >>> "In shot 4 I can't figure out how you're flying an LNAV VNAV PATH Descent and you have a speed showing in you speed bug. Did you get a Disconnect?">> Me >> "Nope, I used Speed INTV to slow down to the speeds shown in the FMC. Or was Level Change the better option?"BTW, I was slowing down in this shot. All the movements in the displays freeze when you pause the sim. The green arrow was pointing down at tha…

AM TRYING TO OPEN THE EXTERIOR DOORS...ONE REPLY WAS TO HIT ALT AND THEN ASSIGN A COMMAND IN THE PMDG OPEN DOORS SELECTION...FOR ME, USING A CD, NOT A DOWNLOAD, THERE IS NO OPEN DOORS SELECTION TO PRODUCE A COMMAND KEY...SO WHAT DON'T I UNDERSTAND? THANKS.

I understand 1)entries and execution in the FMC and the need to have the commands become BIG 2) inherent conflicts with speed and altitude changes 3) how to fly the aircraft with MCP commands only 4) the need to dial in altitudes on the MCP.I am having problems with speed/altitude constraints from the FMC.

Nice pics, Mr xxx?, but I may have to ground your aircraft.... I see some serious safety breaches... 1. Incorrect parking of the aerobridge in Sydney.... One giant leap for mankind.... parachutes optional? :-)2. The rear left hand door is wide open and there is no safety strap fitted.3. Someone has forgotten to install the second ADF Antenna (i.e. one of the black, flattish types on the roof). Sounds like someone is out to ruin our excellent safety record???!!!! :-)Cheers.Ian.

Hello Captains,After reading Tom Metzinger

Hello,I've a question that maybe sounds strange but when I have a PAX weight of 10636KG (only passenger, without there backs), how much would the cargo weight then be????Thanks,

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to do a repaint of my 737-275 flight deck that I bought. The a/c retired from Canadian Airlines on 1-31-02. I have refence photos at my website www.projectb737ng.com and would like to continue flying the a/c in FS9, but as a 737-700 which I am now modeling it after. I have additional photos if needed. Can you tell me who does repaints of the PMDG 737-700 a/c if you are unavailable. I would also (sorry for being Greedy) would like a plain white 700 with Project B737NG in royal blue letters. Thanks for any consideration. Regards, Chuck

You guys wouldnt happen to continue the Express part of PMDG and possibly make a Dash 8-100. I absolutly love the Dash 8-100 and I would pay any amount to see it. Would you happen to ever consider it????ThanksRyan Davis

I was just wondering if there ever was going to be a release of the 800/900 for FS2002 users? I hope that we havn't been forgotten just because we havn't jumped upto FS9. Thanks in advance.

I was going to ask about the discrepancy between V/S on the Descent Page and on the PFD, however I found the answer, so here it is for anybody else who's puzzled.John

hi. just a screenshot i made. well, actually, it's a screenshot of my 737-700, placed on a real photo in which i removed an A340. i was surprised by the effect myself! the 737 looks so real, it's just great!wanted to share this work with you, i hope it's not off topic and you like it.amazing what PhotoShop can do if you know how to use it...:-)Greets to all,keep up your amazing work PMDG!!!Stuhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/75929.jpg(Original photo by Ismael Jorda.

Hey, Anyone fancy putting this design onto the PMDG 737-800?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/75861.jpg [P CLASS=style1] Matthew Murray [/P][P][sPAN CLASS=style1]-|www.precisionmanuals.com|-[bR][/sPAN] http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg[/P]

Hi everybody!Just saw a photo of a Virgin Blue 738 and the F/O FMC shows prog. page 1 of 4...from PMDG we know how progress page 2 looks like (wind+temp. data, deviations from track etc.).I guess on Prog. page 3 there is RTA stuff, but what's on the 4th page? Any ideas?The airliners.net link to the photo: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/576915/L/Thanks in advance,Stefan Bergertedited: Link attached

Hi PMDG flyers,Anybody else had flew a "REVERSE ROUTE" after a normal FMC flight?I did five or six different flights with the B737 800/900 and flew back using the FMC REVERSE ROUTE way.Just reversing all the legs of the route (is an automatic function of the FMC) I just modified the departure and the arrival runway, but had a little problem:In the ND (Navigation Display) the Active Leg is not drawn in the ND (magenta line). I can see the next Route Leg, but when arrives to the new waypoint the new Active Leg disappears again

OK, I'd like to try to change the panel display type in 737ng 800-900. There has been mention of a Styles menu. I have FS 2004-Century of Flight. I cannot find this menu! I do not have a top menu bar within FS. How do I access this??? Can someone please point me in the right direction...Thanks much

Hi all PMDG 737ng Pilots, Can someone please tell me the minimum distance that you can intercept the Loc at, and is the rule of thumb always speed 180, 3000, flaps 5 no matter what the distance?Thanks in advance.Keith Sandford
