PMDG General Forum

Hi I was flyin earlier and had the fmc loaded up for kmia-katl.Somewhere in loading the FP i entered a waypoint in the wrong order.this would have had me backtracking and circles for an extra 20 min or so. How can I remove the wrong waypoint without messing up the whole FP. I read in the manual something about this in the tutorialwell maybe Im not understanding somwthing there casue it didnt workwithout discont the route. Can soemone take a min or two and shed some light on this as simple as possible. LOL Thanks

I am SO much a PMDG fan now that I don't think about adding third party apps. and freeware to FS:)So, my questoin is:What are the best freeware or payware add ons YOU'VE found to work with the PMDG 737-?00 to add:- Flight Planning- Airport envoronments - sound, procedures and scenere- Cockpit environment - sound and procedures such as flight attendant announcm,ents, checklist enhancment, etc.- Weather enhancments- ATC enhancments- Etc. etc.Lets get a comprehensive list going of add ons that work well with and enhance the PMDG experience, and where possible please include items such as performance hit, conflicts with PMDG functions, pay or free, etc.I'll complile a list an…

Very early days on this livery. Tail/aft art work re-do and align. Engine color to match aft fuse. It has begun.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/68881.jpg

I'm finally on the path to Flight Sim freedom. Now my current box has served me VERY well for 4 years. But, my love of flying, real-world and sim alike is pushing the limits of my system in FS9.I finally threw in the towel and shelled out the bucks for a new system. My current box is a:Dell XPS T700r 700HMz640MB RAM, nVidia FX5200 Ultra 128MB card 30GB main drive and 40GB secondary. Well with my sliders and stuff turned way down, I get about 7-8 fps with the PMDG 737NG. The Beech 1900D gives me about 11-12 or so fps. That's actually fine for me. But I gotta have my NG!!!So, my new box is a:Dell XPS system P4 3.2HT 800MHz FSB1GIG DDR SDRAM, 400MHz256MB ATI Radeon 9800XT ca…

Was wondering what most PMDG users do when flying the 737NG. I like being able to talk to ATC etc but I dont like being put on redundant headings, not using SID/STARS, descents at wrong times etc etc. So what is most user's solution to this? Alex P.

Hi, PMDG FlyersThe most current SID/STAR library (MAR04) is ready for d/l (from Friday 26).http://www.precisionmanuals.com/downloads/...le=351&iType=13Regards.Dirk Trotteyn (SANT)

Hi PMDG, will we be able to see the fmc reset in the event of a missed approach when the TO-GA button is pressed?Thanks,David

Hello folks,I'm trying desperately to find/change and edit this cocpitsound which starts when I push battery on. (PMDG_electrics)?In my opinion it is too loud. I tried to edit this sound butno effect. I took it away and here again, NO EFFECT. The soundstays there and tend to be louder than my engines?Is there some kind of a script in sound config?Thanks beforehand,Markus

I got the new CD version of version 1.3 and did not see any clock in it.Is it a bug or am I the bug?? thanks for help.I am writing newly my fuelplanner for this plane, and need infos on:Consumption in lbs/NM for climbConsumption in lbs/NM for CruiseConsumption in lbs/hour for HoldMean speed for climbMean speed for cruiseMaximum allowed altitudeI did not find these infos in any documentation. If anyone could provide these infos, he will get a free copy of my excel sheet.features:calculation of gate fuel to tank in lbs and Kg, depending on the flight plan,,headings, flight level, and mean cross or tail wind, flight level test a.s.o.thank you for helpphilippe Strasbourg

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on these boards for a long time but have never had a need to post anything. I love the PMDG products. My first one was the 777 for the original Fly!. Here's one of the main things I use MSFS for (other than to practice holds and approaches to augment my real-life flying) - I play baseball on the computer as the Chicago White Sox (using High Heat or MVP baseball or whatever is the good baseball game that year), and play out the season in parallel with real life. I've done that since middle school I think. A couple years ago when I got the 777, I decided to use it to "fly" the team to and from all their away games. After all the hardest…

Hi Are the wipers suppose to work ? I know they arent gonna wipe anything off. Was just wondering anyway.

Hey guys, im new to the flight sim world and just purchased your PMDG 737-600/700NG, GREAT PLANE by the way! here's my problem. my IAS when im on the ground and taxing from the gate to the active shows 45mph, and not 0. It starts to move when i prepare for take off and go ABOVE that ground speed i.e.50mph!Is there a problem or bug in the insturment reading?THANX ever so much! COLE! ;)

What about a Dornier 228 or 328 Jet/Prop as the next PMDG Express product?cheers, mads

Captains-I'm placing this in a second post because I feel very strongly that it is important for the information to be seen by itself!Many years ago, Lefteris was one of the first programmers to focus a significant amount of energy into programming a TCAS system for simulation. In fact- it was Lefteris' TCAS system for FLY! in mid 1999 that eventually led to his joining PMDG on a full time basis. The addition of TCAS to a PMDG FLY! based product was pretty significant back then..... and Lefteris is now Lead Developer for PMDG... Who knew?!!!As many of you know, PMDG is very very picky about our beta testing team. Many of our beta testers are individuals with whom we h…

What do you have to buy a new PC for? I'm running the 600/700 just fine on a P3-1.0GHZ Machine.

Hi there,I just was wondering if the NG doesn't have a RTE 2 route, in real ofcourse?And if so will this also be a option in the FMC by the -800-900 series?

Is it possible to edit the config file so that certain types of the 737NG do not appear? I only ever fly the 737-700 2D cockpit, but tonight I mistakenly selected the VC cockpit and didn't figure it out until I taxiing out for a flight on VATSIM. I didn't think I could change at that point without messing up the FMC programming.Mark Kuebeler

I have written 3 times, posted in the forum and still no reply from you. My Name is George Lehning and I purchased your 737NG for $39.95. I filled out the form and it said it was approved. This was on March 25, 2004 at around 10p to 10:30p. I have received no reply and don't understand why you at least don't respond to my email. Please advise me as to what I should do and how I am to receive my software that I purchased. At least let me know your working on it. Something please. If I have to cancel the order on the credit card or that you will send me the order. I can send you the Credit card name or number if that's what you need. George Lehning MY Email is lehning@evair…

Just in time for the 800/900 I have finished my transformation of my computer. My old system was IWILL XP333 AMD XP 1800+2x256mb PC2700 GenericCodegen 300W PSUGeforce 2 mx 440 video cardMy new system is Abit NF7-S V2.0 AMD XP 2600+ (166x11.5 default) O.C. 220x102x512mb PC3500 OCZ running in dual channel at 440mhzAntec 550W True Control PSUGeforce 4 Ti4200 I did all this with only spending around $250. And all because of this beutiful aircraft that I now get to see locked at 30 FSP with almost all my sliders maxed out. I want to thank those of you that helped me to get started on this project if it wern't for you I would still be in the slow lane.

Hi AllOk first off I had the a/c installed and but the a/p didnt seem to work right such as the auto throttle would not engage. I uninstalled the whole package and reinstalled and loaded the a/c up and bingoi was able to click on the a/t switch and it worked. Now nothing has changed i go into FS again and load the 737 up and guess what?The A/T wont engage . The switch flips on then off just as quick onetime and wont work again. Next problem I have is while in the middle of the my flight I noticed that after a certain waypoint going into miami CYY3 arr. now before I even got to the arrival I see the FMC say something to the effect "route discontinuity" . Whats this cause I…

Hi thereI have been watching the screenshots of the new B738. Shouldn't the B736 and the B738 cockpits be the same? It seems like the new B738 panel has the things missing on the B736? Is that right? I think of TCAS, and the oppotunity to change the layout on the navdisplay?BrSteen

Quick question about VNAV. I have been reading the Continental B737 manual posted elsewhere in this forum, and note that some non-precision approaches have a descent gradient coded in them. An example of this, I believe, would be KSAN RW 27. Does the PMDG 737NG have this capability using VNAV? Are the STARs so coded?Ennis

I purchased the 1900D the day it was released and was told 2 weeks for a paint kit. That about 6 weeks ago or more. Any idea when the kit will be ready. I mean you guys HAVE to have one to do all the repaints you have available.Thanks,Keith
