PMDG General Forum

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are some good fs9 video software for converting the .fsr video file to an .mpeg one.(either freeware or payware)It would be nice to upload a nice landing with the 737!By the way, is it possible to upload such a file and if yes what are the size restrictions or formats.Thanks,Davidhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/65700.jpg

I know Alaska does but anyone else fly the -900?

Can anyone please tell me where the TOGA switches are in PMDG B 737 600/700 series. I have looked in the throttle area and cannot find them. Where are they:-hmmmMany thanksfonawah

Hi Folks:Is it possible to change the barometric setting from In of Mercury (IN) to Hectopascals (HPA)?The manual says that it should be done through the appropriate switch in the EFIS control panel. However, this switch only increases or decreases the altimeter setting in IN.(With regards to the SU2, it was worth the wait!)Regards,Roberto

I'm much happier with this one now. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/65507.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/65508.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/65509.jpg

Hi all.I cant download the service update from yor site.Please help me.Best regards Willy brobergDenmark

There is a scary animation available by the NTSB of the fatal crash last year of the Beech1900D in Charlotte, North Carolina.http://ntsb.gov/events/2003/AM5481/board_m..._path_wme01.wmv( size: 4.03MB)The board determined the cause of the crash was due to, "...loss of pitch control during takeoff. The loss of pitch control was the result of incorrect rigging of the elevator control system compounded by the airplane's center of gravity, which was substantially aft of the certified aft limit."Sobering stuff.DonaldS

Is it just me or does the prop blur on the B1900D look too constant, regardless of the current prop pitch setting? Could someone please fix the prop.bmp file so there is less blur affect (more blade visable) when the prop-pitch is retracted? I have attempted to download various other prop.bmp files from avsim but non of them represent the 4-blade prop very well. I have really been enjoying this aircraft as well as the 737ng and PMDG has provided great support. Now I realize this is a PMDG "express" aircraft without all the bells-and-whistles of their high-end product line but IMHO, even the default FS9 prop aircraft represent this feathering affect better. Thanks in …

I have been wondering about this for a while. Why did the cockpit designers create a glass cockpit that emulates the old steam gauges for this aircraft? In the end, do pilots like the separate gauges more than the more complex glass displays? Would love to know.

Preface - I was flying online via VATSIM. LAX_CTR came online after I started the STARI was flying into LAX and was flying the YENNI ONE Arrival. I was bewteen PGS and CONDOR when ATC changed my route. I was given vectors to HEC then to turn direct to CIVET for the CIVET FOUR arrival.This is what I did.1. Switched out of LNAV and set heading to the vector to HEC2. Tuned HEC VOR flew inbound on the radial that most fit the vector.2.1 Went to myairplane.com and brought up the CIVET Four arrival3. Attempted to revise the routing in the FMCA. I deselected the YENNI ONE arrival and "EXEC'd"B. Could not find CIVET 4 listed as an arrival in the FMCC. Added CIVET as a FIXD. Went …

I posted here some time ago that when I launch the NG in FS2004, that I keep getting an old texture (installed with the original NG release, SU1 I believe; I now use SU3) in my aircraft menu. The plane doesn't exist anymore, and displays in the rotating aircraft window in the "aircraft select" menu as an untextured model which can't be selected. Someone from PMDG advised to run the removal tool and re-install. I did that but it hasn't fixed it. It doesn't bother me that much so I haven't persued it much.Then I see a recent post about someone asking regarding clickable switches in the overhead in the VC. I believe the solution suggested there too was to run the remova…

I'm really interested in buying PDGM 737 but for now I'm checking my performances. Having actually 25-30 fps on default FS9 737 or 777, can you please tell me what will the fps on PDGM bird?I know this is a beginner post, but don't know where else to goReally thank you a lotMichael, Italy

Captains-Development and buildout of the PMDG 737-800/900 is well on its way!You will recall that we showed you some images of the -800 in an unpainted format during early testing. Well all three airplanes have come out of the paint shop and they are looking VERY nice!The 800 has two variants.... Winglets and non-winglets...Here the 800-Winglet airplane is prepped and ready for testing on the hard stand. (The door is still closed because Vin forgot the keys....) ;-)http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...8900/800_W1.jpgImmediately adjacent we find the standard configuration 800.... To make the airplane stand out, Pete designed this bare metal treatment of the PM…

Question for you guys:I am a little bit worried. I haven't received a single email regarding my purchase of the 737NG. I paid for it through the precisionnamuals.com website and read that I would get a purchase confirmation "within moments". Well, I paid with my Visa and never received ANYTHING! No plane or email. The transaction took place yesterday afternoon. I have emailed them twice, and not a single response. Is this normal??? I made SURE that I put the correct email address in the purchase order form. I emailed them all of my payment information (credit card info that I used to buy it), time of purchase, etc. so they could track my order, and still no response. What…

Hi,I saw here some posts mentioned about weight and balance of B1900D. But, does it have this function? I bought and installed it but did not find weight and balance.Thanks.TCC

hello all.I cant download the serviceupdate 1.3please help.NighthawkWilly broberg.

Hello erveybody!Now I know this is not quite related to PMDG, but as I know that there are many guys around here who know what they are talking about when its about computers. So I post that one here.I recently upgraded from an P4 2.4 & Radeon 9800SE to a P4 3.0 & Radeon 9800PRO (for complete specs see below)Nice, ha? But... the problem is, the performane of FS didn't improve with this upgrade.Example: Taxiing around Bill Melichars Honolulu in PMDG 737 (nonVC-model) gives me ~8 (!!!) fps. I already had that with my old specs.Of course I let FS create a new .cfg, and I followed most tweaking tips I found on vorious forums, including this one.The only thing I haven…
