Are you still producing the BBJ because their is no information about it and it is rarely discussed on the forums. So is it going to be released next or after the 747-400? Or has it been completely dropped.Also, if you do make the BBJ will you need to have the 737-800/900 or can we just have 737-600/700?Thanks so muchDoug T.

HiI have a question, in fact I have a lot, but first this one. I couldn't find the question in the manual.On the MCP there now two new buttons - Speed INTV and Alt INTV - what are those for? I thought I knew the 737 cockpit - but now these new buttons :-)BrSteen

Maybe could we do like a Hall of Fame place where you can see the 1st to 10th people to buy the new 737-800/900? :D ;)All the Best, Robin Bilgil

I just got the 737NG and I have the NW sceneries KPDX scenery. On my first flight I was taxing to 28L. When I got to taxiway B5 near the terminal I got a building crash. And it happened everytime. I tried other planes, ffx 733, poskey 747, my DF 177, and none of them got a building crash at that spot. Only the 737ng. I had to turn off crash detection for it to work. Any ideas as to why only this plane and not any others would get a building crash? (And there is no building there). Also, well there be away to get the panel upgrade for the 600/700 ie TCAS without getting the 800/900 planes? I usually fly Southwest and they don't have any 800 or 900 planes. But if…

How do I activate the TCAS. The manual doesn't even mention it.

6 hours ago I recived my downloadlink, but I still can't get through. I have send my informations to support.com but no answer yet, couldn't somebody evt. from PMDG tell me if I shall wait or what. I don't know what the problem is. I have paid and don't feel I can do more.Ole

Hi,I'm trying to buy the 800/900.With Microsoft Internet Explorer, I just can't add the 800/900 to my shopping cart. I'm using version 6.0, win xp. I can add the base 737 NG and the B1900D, but not the 800.I tried the same thing with mozilla firefox, but have just been getting credit card errors. It's not mentioned in the purchase page, but on the authorization page, you don't accept american express?I tried a mastercard and a visa but keep getting "The following errors have occurred.(98) This transaction cannot be accepted."I am trying to purchase it with a visa/mastercard issued in Mexico.Thanks,Alejandro Velasco

Hi Guys,I was just wondering how long you are having to wait to get hold of the 800/900 after getting to the "you are authorised to download page"As I have been trying to download since 11AM spanish time.When I click the link it just keeps trying to load for ages and I have to refresh the page and keep trying. As everybody would.but I feel I am not doing something right (Am I meant to right click save as better? although that does not seem to give me any better results at the moment)(If I am lucky I sometimes get the server busy page...or not so lucky I mean)Are others having to keep trying 100000 times or are you getting it quite quick??Thanks for your answers!Im not imp…

Dear Sirs,First I would like to thank you for your excellent addons, I own both the 737-600/700 and the B1900, I am extremely pleased with both of these addons.The reason I am writing this is that I, like many others, are unable to get broadband due to my location, I dont mind downloading large files, as long as I am able to resume the download should my connection drop off.Normally, I use Getright for all my downloads, I have never had a problem with this program.I tried to download the 800/900 this morning using DAP, which you state on your site works for your downloads, it looked as if it was going to be fine, and after 4 hours the download was "finished", untill I tri…

You guys rule, and FlyTampa has just announced FlyDubai, i'm gonna be busy this weekend.Just waiting for my download e-mail now.Cheers,TonyGlasgow,UKEGPF

I am looking for a tutorial for the 800/900 I do not see any, unless I missed it, could some one help me in this matter, and also what would be the minimum required for a computer to run this plane properly.ThanksAndre 69

Hey all, what a happy suprise to find that she's out this morning.One question, how's the framerates compared to the 600/700?If I have only one complaint about the PMDG NG, she's a little hard on frames, but considering the complexity I guess it's warranted.Thanks guys,

Dear guys from PMDG, as always you guys did a very good job!. PMDG is in my opinion the most friendly and helpful group in the flightsim scene. I made one flight with the 737-900 from Miami to Tampa and it flew like a dream, only a few small things came up to me to look atfirst a rattleling sound from the trimstablelizer., and beeps as i used the trottle on the taxiway for taxispeed. Would be nice to hear some comments from real 737 NG pilots!Best regards,

I bought the 738/9 today and sometimes it works normally, but sometimes is crashes FS, when I check the error report to see what crashed it, it says that the G3D.dll did it. Can someone tell me what's wrong.CheersTomi

Hi folks. Just installed the great new 800/900 this morning and took a quick VFR flight around the pattern at BFI. One thing I noticed, "shift + /" seems to arm the auto speedbrakes (they deploy when I land) but the indicator light on the console does not illuminate when I arm them on approach and the speedbrakes lever on the throttle panel does not move to the "armed" positon.Any ideas? This worked correctly on the 600/700. I just took another flight around in the 700, and actually it looks like it's not just an indication problem, but the speed brakes don't seem to deploy until the thrust reversers are deployed...is this correct? I was under the impression they dep…

Hi PMDG,all my compliments for the new 737 800/900... beautiful, stunning, striking and... very reliable starting from the first flight I've done.I have only a problem with the TCAS: I can see a yellow "TCAS OFF" message in the navigation display, and no idea about how to activate it.Can you help me?Andreahttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Hi EveryoneJust finished my first flight with the new 800/900 and I'm absolutely amazed!!! If I'd try to write here how you surprised me with all the new features I would need several pages...But I think I've found the first few bugs:- The new trim air switch is not using the same soundset as the other switches. (minor problem)-Look at the picture below: Something seems to be wrong here!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72868.jpgSeems that in the zoom function is command bug or something similar.Anyway thanks for that beautiful FS artwork...Martin

Hello. Was doing a flight from DFW-LAS in the AA 737-800. Gear wouldn't go down, the lever would move but the gear wouldn't budge.

I know I am doing something wrong but I read the manuals and still have the following Problem:http://www.edbb.org/img/temp/tcas.jpgI get the aural warnings and advisorys on display but I dont see any Aircraft-Symbol. I tried it via the Internal and the FSUIPC one. Range is within Limits (<=40nm) - TA/RA set and bias normal. Max aircraft is set to 200 and "show all non threatning traffic" is also checked (as initially set)And I also get no TCAS-RangeRings displayed (yes "show tcas range rings" is enabled)What am I doing wrong?ThanksArt

I wish to thank all of you who take time to give informations we need it is most usefull;Thanks againAndre69

Good Morning Gents, Just got the 800/900 DL'd as well as a boatload of liveries. Very much looking forward to this bird. Not mentioned in the readme is what version of the AIRIC data is included in the 800/900 package. All my SW is still using 313 and would like to know if I need to update everything to 403? or whatever the most current is in order to be consistent across the board. Thanks,Jay Eklund - Pilot 4332Senior VP Denver Operationshttp://www.pacificwestairways.com

I've been cheating lately, by Mapping the Master Engine Shutdown key onto my Joystick, and a simple press at the end of my flight shuts down the engines.Since upgrading to the 800/900, it doesn't work anymore.Any idea why? I've checked the map, and it's still mapped, but it won't shut down the engines. Thanks.

Hi,I've just started building my 800/900 fleet using the download pages at your Web site. I have one very small suggestion regarding the format of those pages. It would be great to have a second "page selection" at the bottom of each download page so that you do not have to scroll back to the top to go to the next page.Thanks for getting the 800/900 to us so quickly.Charlie - KSJC
