PMDG General Forum

Hi All,I just bought the 737NG and B1900d tonight and LOVE them. I was quickly wondering if anyone was in the process of doing a repaint of the 737-700 or -600 in UAL colors (yes I know they only operate the 737-300/500 but the models PMDG are just too good). Also, is there anyone who's the process of updating the Great Lakes UAL Interim Livery, it's a bit annoying that the grey on the fuselage is off and a huge blue square is covering the tail where the UAL logo usually is on the UEX 1900s. Thanks :)

Hi Please can you tell us when you anticipate the patch for your great piece of software to be ready,flying with the mouse is so boring when you have the MCP sitting on your desk!!thanks Keith

Having been asked by someone about something, I just did a search of my old reviews here on Avsim and came up with this little tale...http://www.avsim.com/pages/0999/pm/pm747aom.shtmlLooking behind me on my shelf unit, I still have all of the FS98 manuals, neatly printed, filed and immediately available.One of these days, I really must try the numbers that the FS98 B747-400 .air file used on a new one and see what happens... :-hahSlightly more seriously, would it be even remotely practical to release those again? Given the number of models which supposedly have accurate flight models, it would be nice for VA types to have a better method of working out fuel requirements t…

With the purchase of the new 737's, will the purchase include the mentioned updates for the 600/700 that are already required. Goran

I have just noticed that when I click on the 737NG main instruments display eg HSI, it no longer pops-up to a bigger size. Please don't tell me I have to do a remove and re-install.

I'm wondering what other people do to help them land at obscure airports in less than favourable weather conditions and without ILS. I set up a psuedo-ILS by adding a fix point/navaid to my legs page between 8-10nm from, and lined up with, the destination runway. If such a fix point/navaid is not available, I create a user waypoint (ie. lat/long) to achieve the same objective. I then set a speed restriction of 180kts for this waypoint and put in an altitude constraint that gives me a 3 degree glideslope. I calculate the 3 degree glideslope using some good old high school math (anyone remember SOH CAH TOA?), which is a function of the distance the way point is from the a…

Bon Soir, Does anybody else have any problems with loading the 73?????i use FS9 (got it last week for the 8/900!!) and i havent been able to load the a/c since i started testing.i have a reg vers of fsuipc and the fuel loader that one of our esteemed captains provided for us and this works fine.but whenever i load the fs2004 a/c loader for the ng, FS never uses the weights i put in.. the weight loader that comes with fs9 seems to be the default weighti am certian this isnt a pmdg problem but more a user thingany ideasThanks"Lairy" Liam Reynolds

HiI was wondering if the 737 has and autoland feature? The 777 has an auto land, and thought maybe the 737 did also.Jay

I was curious as to why the 600/700 does have TCAS working since the real one obviously does. Is this going to be fixed. Great plane BTW.Jack

I got the e-mail on how to download it, but when I click on the link at the bottom of the e-mail, it just links to a white page with the normal 'action cancelled' and 'no page to display' which is what I get when a page has been deleted. Help, Chris, [email protected]

You need to select the appropriate PMDG Express Beechcraft model. You will notice they are labeled 2D cockpit only, with VC, and with VC and Cabin.VinPMDGwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

Firstly just like to know if there are plans to implement the TCAS2 system in the new 744 as many have asked the same question, and seccondly what are PMDG's views on developing and including a weather radar for the Queen, i mean it is possible right?Another really nice touch would be fuel jettisson system, could this me modelled too? If these features were included along with all the latest promised 737-800/900 system enhancements i know that "the" or any opposition would simply not get a look in with their products and most of us would proberbly never look back!!Kavan

Please could someone tells me the meaning of ACARS what this has to do with the PMDG 800/900ThanksAndre

HiWhich key do I use to operate the Stairs on the PMDG 737?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/67960.jpghttp://www.onlinesimulationsolutions.com/Athlon 64 3000, 19dba Zalman CPU fan, MSI K8T-NEO, 1GB PC3200 DDR400, HIS Excalibur 9800 Pro 128mb, 60GB HD.Trainee Airline Pilot (Completing PPL, ATPL this year).

I had played PMDG 737 without any problems (FS 2002, WIN98) , then I was forced to reinstall my windows, and now (with the same computer, same FS, same Windows) I CAN'T!! ... it tells me: "FS 2002 was unable to load some 3rd party software: PMDGOptions.dll" .... and then the same thing, but with PMDG *.gau files. What's wrong? .... I have THE SAME configuration of FS as before, I tried to install GDI+ , tried to reinstall PMDG thousand times, with every possible service update - and nothing helped :-(((((( ...... what should I do now?AMD 1600256 MB RAMGeForce 2 MX

How can I find a solution to that the aircraft textures are not loading.Can any body please help with advise.Thomas

Just wondering, will there be a afterburner option available to add STOL capabilities to the NG? Braathens in norway obviously have this option on their 737`s just look here: http://gassundertrykk.com/movie/engine-start.wmvNaaa, just kidding about the afterburner but the movie is pretty spectacular anyway!: )Bests Kevin

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is anyone who is using this Radar Contact 3.1 with their PMDG 737. If so I would like to hear you opinion as I

the 2d panel lights up nice and bright...but there are NO virtual cockpit and cabin lights no matter what i do...is there a solution?

I have the PMDG737ng. I purchased it a few weeks ago. Question #1 I am supposed to have version 1.3, why does it say v1.2 in Flight simulator 2004? Do I need to apply the patch? Question #2 The textures load soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow between views, and frame rates are poor in vc mode.Why have this aircraft if I can't enjoy all views. My system is way above the minimums! I have a P4 2.8 ghz XP barton processor, 1 GIG DDR ram ATI 9600se with Windows 2000 professional.no other apps are running in the backround. I do not have any settings maxed out. Is there anything I can do? Eaglesoft's CessnaCx is a complex aircraft as well and is much better in loading textur…

I thought I had to turn down clouds, autogen and so on, until I get my PC upgraded to a 5000MHZ machine or so...UNTIL!!! I read this:http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031...38-nv36-40.htmlI then bought the number two on the graph, an ASUS Radeon 9800Pro 256mb DDR...And I bought another set of 512mb Kingston PC2100 266Mhz DDR rams...Now clouds and autogen have no impact, there are of course stuff that my CPU has to work with, but I have 20 frame rates on all medium sceneries like The new Simwings Ibiza and so on...And that's with ALL set to max! ALL!!!The PMDG panel has now little hit on frame rate, even the model with out VC has little fps hit...WOW!So when you relea…
