Will it show planes in MP?Also, how do you get lights on panel to only light up the white writing, not all the lights?

Hi allOn the product feature page it mentions:9. Added pushback capability/compatibility Were exactly is this feature?Been flying the new 800/900 all afternoon....absolutly brilliant!! I have had no problems whatsoever. You guys certainly know your stuff.Well done PMDG...a fantastic job......WELL DONE!RegardsPaul EGCC

Just curious...its been almost 2 hours, and I'm trying to figure out when to get concerned.Thanks!

OK guys. I would pay two or three times the asking price for this package. It really is worth that to me for the enjoyment I'm getting. But,,, between the manuals, Bulfers FMC guide, misc books on the 737, AOM's etc, I've spent $400.00+ on paper, ink, binders, etc. *:-* I will be sending you a bill shortly. It is totally your fault that I have become this obsessed with the 737NG:)

Hi, I asked this is the announcement thread but it may have gotten overlooked. I just bought the plane and downloaded, but can I install it with no internet connection? I am working in NH for two weeks and have no internet at the condo I stay in. I could bring the computer in to work if I need to, but it would be easier to bring my laptop home and install that way. I spend a lonely two weeks all by myself couped up at night with nothing but my computer. No wife, no cleaning, nothing but pizza for dinner. Alright, so it's every flight sim nut's dream :) We are hiring :)

I can't download the 737-800-900. The server is down.

hi,has anyone tried it on windows 2000 yet? Does it work? I would like to buy it but don't want to buy and find out it doesent work. The 600/700 work fine on windows 2000 but what about the 800/900?Andrew

Good evening folks. The new 737-800/900 looks great, but I have one question. In order for me to fly the 737-800/900 do I need to buy both products. Thats a total of $62.90 (including the promotion) for flying the -800/900.How come you don't offer it as a standalone product for $39.95, like you do with the -600/700? Is that option available? Any information you can share with me will be much appreciated. Thank you.Regards.Edgar Del Valle

Hello,I hope this is the appropriate place to post this question. I am strongly considering the B1900 as it appears to be a beautiful add-on. I would like to know how much, if any, of a system performance hit it will give me, using it in FS 2002. I have a low end machine (Pent. 3/800mhz, 512 mb ram, Geforce 4 TI 4400). I can run most things in FS 02 pretty well, but certain planes, especially the default King Air, drag the performance down to unacceptable levels. This is due, I believe, to my antiquated sound card and the sound of the King Air, since killing the sound brings the performance back up. The Flight 1 Cessna 421C runs fairly well, but hits the system a bit…

Just a qucik note to say thanks to PMDG, the new birds a great. I love them and I love you guys, superb stuff.Oh and a big hand for the painters, they are great.Jason

Hey guys,I bought the 800/900, and I am pritty much happy with the product, the FDE seems to be more realistic in an area I wasn't happy with on the 600/700, AOA on final approach. Other than that, I love the new panel backgrounds.I do have 1 major problem though, on climb out, VNAV follows the path, but doesn't control speeds like it used to, ie set speeds to the flap speeds:S secondly, before descent, I lower the MCP alt, as I am supposed to do, but the aircraft does not begin decending when I pass over the t/d point...or at all. Do any of you guys have any idea why? The scale for how far under/above the path I am comes on, on the ND, and the readout in the DES page in…

Hi all,Is there a huge difference between the manuals? I am asking this because I printed out the original 600/700 and made a nice book out of it. Is it advised to print out completely the new 800/900 manuals? Thanks for your help. WilfredThe Netherlands.

Patrik,Do you have the 737-600/700 v1.3 installed? The 738/9 Installer won't work unless you have the 1.3 base pack installed.

Stuck at home this weekend without high speed internet. Purchased the 800/900 started the download got to 42.5 megs and my dialup disconnected because of a thunderstorm. Fortunatly I can try again on Monday at my work which has High speed.But I feel sorry for anyone who has to depend on dialup for this purchase.Dennis Waggoner

Dear PMDG team,thank You for making the 737-800/900 available for us.My Problem is: After downloading I start the exe-file (for testing) and there a dos Window opens shorty telling me that the program is too large for the memory --- and that was it.Am I doing anything wrong?Any Help is appreciated.Best wishes and nice sunday,Wolfgang

Can I use the same removal tool for the 737 600/700 and 800/900 or if there is a separate tool?ThanksAndre69

Is it my imagination or has the radio alt in the middle of the PFD disappeared in the new 800/900?? Should I be setting a switch to activate it??ThanksGeoff

I just did my first flight with the new -900, everything worked great! One small question. How do you switch the ND between full display and side by side display?The manual shows pictures of both, but doesn't show where you switch.Lee

Hello,Everything goes just fine, but I have little problem with framerate. I dont know how it is with others but anyways it gives around 15-25 fps max in VC here (without Cabin). I have autogen Very dense, but it didnt change much if I decreased it. Usually its about 18 fps. Sometimes it even shows 27 but I dont know how to explain, it like makes some 0.2 sec pauses all th etime when I pan around. It doesnt act like default 737 VC for example. I can understand its more complicated one ofcourse, but I have heard that some have got same good frame with same type PC as I have. Should I get a new GFX card? Though I think its not so bad, the 9500 Pro. Do you have any ideas wha…

Why did you release the 8900? :-8 What are we gonna wait for now??!!:-hah Just kidding! The baby is beautiful and was well worth the wait!Been flying it all day and i love it more and more for each nautical mile i do! Flightsim will never be the same again :-hah Congrats with the new bird and best rgds from Kevin!:-beerchug

How big is this file? I read somewhere that it was 47meg's. Is this correct? Anything over 50 megs and my ISP kicks me out. I waited for the CD since I was unable to download on my Slow-mo modem.Regards,JackKGSP

Is it a problem with high usage or something else?Jim O'Brien

Hello,Now I made a complete and realistic flight with it EDDF-LKPR as there is a big flyin today. I arrived nicely :-). Though, I have some questions and any help would be appreciated!1. I found that its better to fly in 2D view as its very nice, instruments are refreshing better and dont have delay like in VC, also its much faster on FPS in 2D. I went to instrument panel menu in FS and I found the second EICAS from there, though I cant find a place where to open it from panel to get it up quickly. Is there any clickspot for this?2. Then, is it normal that when RTO, autobrake disarm light is on all the time? I know that it should go off after 2 secs or so.3. Now something…

Great product PMDG! What numbers should we put in the FMC for the -800 and the -900 for the ZFW?Thanks,Lee
