PMDG General Forum

Hi, I just installed the reality Jetline 2 guages and everything looks and works great in the B1900D, but I found that the Radio (RTU panel) does not popup when I click on the "Radio" Icon on the panel. I get the original radio panel popup. It works OK on the FSD Cheyenne though. Is there something I have to change in my Reality xp configuration or .ini file to fix this for the B1900D? Not sure whether anyone else has noticed this. Any help would be much appreciated.Regards,Tom Stewart

Hi PMDG flyers, Need a little help on this:In a VNAV descent I receive a DRAG REQUIRED CDU message.Must I keep deployed the spoilers while the DRAG REQUIRED message is visible, and stow the spoilers when the message go out?Or must I administrate the spoilers (deploy-stow) for keep the ND Descent Guide pointer centered?Which method is correct?Thanks for help.Dirk Trotteyn (SANT)

I saw this on airliners.net http://www.airliners.net/open.file/186263/M/ and decided I needed one...It is a work in progress. When I'm happy with it, I'll post the textures.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/75723.jpg

HiThe gears don't down when i need land and happens online after +/- two hours of my flight. I just try gears up and down offline and online after take off and it work well but two hours late, and online, the gears leave of function.Problems with radios too.Best regardsJorge Sobrinho

I just upgraded to 737NG 800/900 today.What a disappointment the PFD was...I much prefer the 737NG 600/700 display.:( I know your going to tell me that the 800/900 has this modified display (In which case I appreciate the realism and would expect nothing less from PMDG, the product is superb), so I loaded the 700 model from FS2004 only to discover that all my 737NG 600 & 700 fleet now use the new 800/900 PFD.In reality does the 600/700 have the same display layout?Do you have any pans to retain the original PFD for the 600/700 in the future when customers like me upgrade to the 800/900 series?Many thanks for creating such a detailed, sophisticated enjoyable product.

Hi PMDG and others,I've testing something for a while and just discovered that if go to DES page in the FMC and I delete the SPD restriction(240/10000) then I can get 245/FLAPS as new SPD restriction. But in the previous version(-6/700 series) it auto. transit from SPD/ALT restriction to SPD/FLAPS rest. And also it stays to the Flap maximum manoevring speed. Is this all correct??? Or should it be like the -6/700 version were it auto. transit from SPD/ALT to SPD/FLAPS?Thanks,

Almost done..http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/75596.jpg

Well eventually after 3hrs I've got the -800/900 downloaded, well so I thought. When I click the file, and I get a black (dos like) dialoge box appear for a few brief seconds, then it dissappears and nothing! the file size downloaded is 45,640KB, is this correct? Please help, i'm getting nowhere with downloading this :-( :-( :-(

Hey, I am having trouble finding any information in the manuals regarding the usage and purpose of the ACARS modelled. I know hows ACARS works, but I am wondering how to operate the PMDG implementation of it? So far it is only logging key events from what I can tell.Another thing, got the chance to visit an EZY NG Flight Deck the other night, that cockpit sure is great looking and tiny too! Anyone who gets the chance should see one, quite interesting!

Hello,Before everything was just fine, then a strange problem started... The issue is that when I push out, start the right engine, everything is just fine, then when starting the first one the problem appears. I turn the fuel valve of 1st engine to IDLE when N1 is approx 21.5 and then it like hangs the FS for some seconds afterwhat the situation stabilizes again and I can continue with my procedures. Its now facing up everytime I start the beauty up. Any ideas?P.S.Maybe somebody here can answer to my other question - for some reason, when in full screen mode and for example pressing ALT key to get menu, FS again hangs for a few secs and then I can do what I want. Also it…

Hi all,I've been following this board for quite a while and also tried out the PMDG 737 (from 600 to 900).As an old 767PIC fan (if not to say FANATIC) I was very disappointed about most of the outcomes of airliners the last years. Wether the Dreamfleet 737 nore the PSS Airbuses (and so on) satisfied my search for a well modeled airliner(-cockpit). One have to remember that the 767PIC is nearly 4 years old now. She was and still IS state of the art (regarding simulation!!! not pretty opening doors and smoking wheels on touch down). After this plane moves into my computer, it was for sure not easy for successors. Many little things in nearly every new airliner peeved me bec…

Hi all,I'm sorry, but I don't find the webmaster e-mail address.On the download -> documentation page, the link to "PMDG documentation - Cruise Performance" don't work.It seems that the linkhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/file_libra..._678900_V14.pdfis bad. The correct one ishttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/file_libra..._678900_V14.pdfThanks.Bye bye.

Took these on the flight from KSAN-KABQ. Great ATC in SoCal. Unfortunetly, I didn't take the return trip into SAN(I know, I lied ;)), so you guys in SoCal will have to ding me with that NDB approach at some other time ;)This is is as I am climbing out of SAN on that BORDER5 (;)) departure.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/75147.jpgI decided to go for the ILS8 arrival into ABQ, and this is what my FMC told me I had to fly. So naturally, instead of letting the AP have fun, I flew the approach.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/75148.jpgThis one is about 2500ft AGL. The sun is just barely visable.

Hi,i installed the 737-800/900 addon for my pmdg. I also activated the Undock panel option in the pmdg menue, but then i undock the overhead and move it to my second monitor, i have a radeon 9600XT graficcard, i am not able to klick the switches. They won't change there actual position, and the pointer of my mouse begins to flicker. The same thing is when i want to move the FMC to my second monitor.Can anyone help me please!greetingsMark

Ive done two flights hand flying the climb from takeoff to cruise level. If you havent done it yet, its really fun. :-)

Why on these charts there are entries with weights above the MTOW?If you can't even takeoff with such a load, how is you could land?ThanksClaudio

some fun pix:1st one is over Nevada at 35,000 ft. Headwinds put us with a ground speed of under 400 kts. The 2nd one is on final approach to KSNA at 1400 ft. The 3rd is directly after exiting the active runway 19R. And the 4th is at the gate "Welcome to Orange County. There was a pesky United Express Beech 1900D right under my right wing when i arrived and it looked like clearance was only a few feet.could somebody tell me how to paste the pix directly into the post as well. thank you very much.david

Im, sorry But I have been looking in the manuals, and in this forum, the way to change from Inches in the Altimeter, to QNH.I have tried everything but I cant change it, could some one tell me how?, Since I fly Airports with the for example 30.00, and other with QNH 1200.

Hello. I may have missed this somewhwere in here, so sorry if I am asking a repeat question.1- when I put the originating airport into the FMC to initialize I am getting a message on the FMC as follows: "err at 3,line 104", I also have the identifier for the station with a yellow line through it.2- tonight while going from BOS to ORD, about 1 hour in, the PFD and ND locked up. I undocked and finally got it to work after about 5 minutes.Thanks in advance for the help. The only change is the updated version of FSUIPC, and it seems to be fine. And I added FS Flight Keeper 2, but that isn't working yet...and that is a hole other story.I really enjoy flying this B737, have ign…

Hello and thanks for any help in advance. I was wondering if I installed the new 800/900 and then reinstalled the older version of the 600/700 would this affect the 800/900.Would I have the older layout of the 600/700 with the new 800/900 layout as well. This probably sounds a bit weird but I like the older layout and I am trying to keep it whilst having the 800/900. I realize you can configure certain aspects of the 800/900 to look like the older 700 layout but you cannot alter some things like the radio stack. I am sure I will get used to the new layout in time.

I "bought" the 737 last friday and got a broken download link. I've been sending emails to support since then without a single reply.They did charge my VISA card the same day so there doesn't seem to a problem in that department!Does anyone know if they are still in business?Hoskuldur

With respect to setting the DH or MDA does one set it on the radio altimeter or the barometric altimeter??

But I went ahead and bought it anyways since you guys have established yourselves as a great team.What can I say?Wow, have I been missing out! What a great aircraft. The model is fantastic, the liveries are beautiful, the FDE seems like the Beech I flew on a while back, the sounds are very nice, it is cheap (the wife loved this one!), and it is a blast to fly!Top it all off with the complete Reality XP Retrofit (JL2, 530 XP, and WX Radar) and WOW...just, WOW.Excellent product PMDG. You guys keep continuing to amaze me!!!!:)

Dear support,I discovered a strange hick-up sound when flying the 737 in FS2004?Its like a small zoom sound for just 1 second and everything stands still for also +/- 1 second....It happends sometimes every minute but also sometimes one's in +/- 5 minutes more or less....its depends every time. If I fly other planes there's nothing wrong with the video and sound!?Whats wrong?Regardsvortovor
