Hi All again,Forgive me as I have not read the manuals fully but my question is this,I am used to flying with the Dreamfleet 737-400 and using there FMC. When ATC tells me to decend, I would set my altitude in the MCP and then go to the FMC Decent page and hit the capture button and the airplane will decend using the FMC.How do I accomplish this task with the PMDG FMC?ThanksCYQRVincent

I can't help myself any longer I been reading in this forum for some time now about the particulars on how to do certain things with the NG type aircraft and how to perform basic and non-basic prodedures such as takeoffs, landings, and approaches. The link below will take you to a very useful and must read for any 73ng pilot. http://www.fmcguide.com/media/profiles.pdfI hope this helps some of you!Mike G

Hello,on the PMDG Homepage is a Hapag Lloyd B737-800 available but without winglets. In reality all Hapag Lloyd B737-800 has winglets. Can you fix it?Best regards.Matthias

Hi,I am having a few difficulties with the PMDG 800/900 series, and I would like to do a complete uninstall of the PMDG product followed by a fresh install.I have the 600/700 removal tool but cannot find the 800/900 removal tool.Thanks,Mal

Hello,is a paint kit for the PMDG B737-800 with winglets available? I would like to paint some textures for the PMDG 737-800.Best regards.Matthias

Hello,is for the Beech 1900D a paint kit available??Best regards Matthias

High again, crew!I whish there was a prewiev photo of all liveries, so that I could decide if I wanted it or not. Some of them are obligatory for me, of course, and I installed them bfore I even started the sim.I allso would like a few just for the eycandy, and the way it is now, I have to "kiss a lot of frogs" before I find the prince.(Noooo they are not frogs, lovely done all of them) but I still hope you see my point.This allso applies for the B1900D

HiI was just playing around with some failuresFirst I did an engine fire in both engine 1 and 2. First engine number 1, FIRE ALARM, pull fire handle, switched to left and right but nothing happens. I shut the engine manually down using fuel cut off. Did the same for engine number 2. After the two fires I tried to start the engines and was surprised it worked. Is this normal?When hydraulic system A fails, I read that the inboard spoilers do not work anymore and when system B fails, the outbourd spoilers do not work anymore. But I don't see any difference when deploying them?When Both systems A and B fails, why can I lower the gear normally (and not via the alternative way)…

HiSorry for starting a new thread, but I realised what may be a -800 problem whilst trying to get the Stab Trim figured out in the B737-800 in another thread.When I start FS9 and load the -800 it has (nearly) full fuel tanks. If I accept that fuel load and program a flight, the FMC Take Off page predicts a VR of 154 Knots. The actual unstick occurs at 155 knots. Close enough.Now, if I start FS9 and select the -800 and then manually reduce the fuel load by emptying the centre tank, after planning the same flight the predicted VR becomes 140knots. The Stab Trim is 4.9. However when I execute the takeoff, the actual unstick speed remains at 155 knots in spite of the predict…

I've had the 800/900 update installed for a couple of days and have had quite a few problems. I'd like to start again by uninstalling everything and re-installing from scratch. Obviously I can use the removal tool to take out the 600/700 but what do I do about the 800/900?Bud

Hi,I`m a owner of the box-version 737-600/700 and had now downloaded your 737-800/900 version.When I try to install the 737-800/900 version, I get a message, that I must install the 737-600/700 version before.Of course i had installed the 737-600/700 before.I have installed the 737-600/700 in D:ProgrammeMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9. In that same foulder i try to extract the 737-800/900. Is that not right?Can you write me please, what I must do to get a succesfull installation.Thanks Joerg

Hi there i was wondering why on the 737NG-unlike the 767 it will not autotune ILS frequencies andinstead u have to manually tune both rdios to the correct ILS frequency??

Hello,I have read (as far as I remember in the manual) that there is a possibility to click the yoke in the VC for better availability of the FMC. But sorry, I cannot find any spot or checkbox to use this feature.Is it there in 800/900 series or was it a misunderstanding?Best regards,Wolfgang

Since I'm only SEL certified in the real world I won't feel so bad about asking this one.On the FMC; after the STAR shouldn't the next waypoint be the FAF for the ILS if you have that selected in the arrival?Thanks in advance :-)

First Q: are there any tables of calculating cost index?second Q: Wat is the exact and correct collor for the Old collor FMC, Hapaq LLoyd still uses the old collor in there FMC.Thanks,EDIT: I also was wondering if in the side by side eicas display option is also the SYS. page avail to show or flight controls? Or does the real NG doesn't have that option?

Hi I installed 737-600/700 for pmdg. Then I installed the 737-800/900.Everything worked great. Then when I create a flight with 737-800.And I press Fly Now button. Then a error message comes: Fs9 need to be restarted. When I look at the error report it says that the file 737ng main.gau is the reason of the crash. What is wrong? I installed both the 737-600/700 and 737-800/900 for fs9.I also use Windows XPHope someone can help me quickly!!!!!!!Staale MoumNorway

Hi;I'm having problems when landing the new 8/900 NGs.Here are the full details:Delta Airlines livery 800 in 2D only, RW 6L, CYUL. In load manager I have 5 PAX in first class, 68 in coach, 10397 pounds in forward cargo, 9955 pounds in aft, for a ZFW of 124792 pounds. About 15 miles from runway, FMC calculates vref at 146 for 30 flaps, with a GW of 139.6 thousand pounds. I set everything up for a full Autoland, dual channel Cat III landing. MCP speed is set to 151, spoilers armed, autobrakes set at 2, the aircraft flares like it should, but when I touch down, I bounce back up to finally come down again. Tried the same flight but setup for 40 flaps and still bounce.Then I t…

Ladies and Gents,Excellent work on this aircraft, you guys really did it well, however I have a couple of cosmetic problems:1) I love the passenger cabin lighting viewed from the spot view, however I can only get this to work if I have the landing lights checkbox selected in fs2004. I hate the fs2004 landing/taxi light effect, plus all my AI traffic have the lights hence fps goes down. Is there any way to get the lovely passenger cabin lights to be on without having the fs2004 landing lights checkbox on?2) The overhead logo light switch doesnt seem to work, and similarly the a/c logo light only comes on if the fs2004 landing lights checkbox is activated in fs2004.Many tha…

Awesome work with the new releases!I haven't "gone to the airport" yet, but I currently have a shiny new AAL 737-800 sitting in the hangar ready to go. :)When can we expect to see an updated fuel planner for the 800/900? I realize that it wasn't made by PMDG, but I didn't know where else to ask.Thanks!NickEdit: I actually took a moment to look it up. If you're as clueless as I am you can find information on it here: http://www.metacraft.com/737NGFPIn other words, it's on the way. :)

When running the 800/900 upgrade for the first time, FS crashes out while "updating AIRAC data". The aircraft never appears....

PMDG you have done a Fantastic job!!! I noticed in the Preview you Posted you had a 737-800 taking off that was unpaited Bare metal that looked like they do before they paint the 737!! Anychance off releasing that as a download???? heres a pic http://www.airliners.net/open.file/550061/M/Cheers

Ok,I've installed the PMDG and the new 800/900. Is anyone having problems with other aircraft not working now.I have 3 other aircraft that CTD's after 1/2 hr. or so of flying. All 3 planes worked fine before the install, (I think). Did you guys write anything to the registry or FS9 that would cause something like this. Any possible gauge conflicts. Marv
