PMDG General Forum

Hi All,Been having a great time flying my new B1900 around Princess Julianna Airport in the Dutch Antilles. Great Aircraft - Thanks PMDG. So impressed I went down to Fairoaks Airport Transair shop and bought a set of Rudder pedals.Problem is: I seem to have the brakes locked on. The differential braking seems to work but acceleration is slow and I get the red warning in the bottom left of the screen that the brakes are on. It sometimes flicks to "Differential Brakes" - so I know the pedals are connected. I've tried to use the tops of the pedals to deselect the brakes and I've ised the "." command to stop the brakes. I've tried to change the command too but no joy. …

Please could you advise me the required computer spec I require to use with the beech 1900D (e.g.:(/S,Ram,MB of space etc)ThanksAndrew Moore

Hello PMDG!Your Express line of aircraft is what I've been waiting for! I never could sit infront of the computer for that long so these are perfect! There isn't anything wrong with the 1900D, nothing at all, the price is right, the model is beautiful, it handles like a light aircraft should handle. It's great! I hope you guys keep up the great work on the Express line. I had a few suggestions though, would you be interested in creating a Metroliner? This is my all time favorite commuter aircraft. The Flying Cigar! :) It would sure be great to see one of these flying around in the FS Sky! http://www.airliners.net/open.file/404304/M/Thanks again PMDG!-Kellan O'Nea…

Hi there,I must be missing something (again). I used the PMDG download to install the Reality-xp Jet Line 2 and everything is working fineexcept: I can't find the icon to bring up the RTU. Can anyone help?Thanks,Bill

PMDG, Thanks for a great plane, runs like a dream on my machine! I was wondering where the Continental Connection/Commutair repaint was, I can't seem to find it in the repaint section of the downloads. Thanks again for a great product!

I've just installed the JL2/WX Radar into the B1900. I'm also using the default Garmin 530, now when I switch to VC the radar is there, but the area where the 530 should be is blank, just a black box. I've followed the directions to a T.Any ideas?Dave FisherCYYZhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Thanks for a beautiful little commuter in the B1900D. I'm really enjoying learning to fly it.Thanks, too, for the most logical choice of first officers! Now if I could only get the pilot to stop hitting on the flight attendants!heh.

Hi Guys,Great Plane. I sprung for the Reality XP Jetline 2 gauges. A very nice combination. One problem though....I can bring up the GPS gauge when using the model with the VC, but when using the 2D only coclpit the GPS gauge will not open. I have d/led and installed the Reality XP panel.cfg files from the PMDG site, and I am certain I have the right one installed for both the 2d panel and the VC. Any suggestions?

Hello pmdg,I saw you've juste released the beech1900 and your on the way to give us the stretched version of the 737ng but :Please do not forget to add to your great first big work some minors update like the irs simulation wich should be so great and so important for a 737ng !Others little things to add should be :the aural warning when descending to a mcp assigned altitude (we have the climbing one)and a disengagement of the autobrakes when manually braking.But anyway a great thank you for your work !Christophe.

In an earlier post I noted that while trying to meet specific speed restrictions, while complying with the flap schedule I would find myself in the RED. Being in the red is not good! However the closer I study the tape those red bricks are not in the area the current speed. If this is so, am I still flying within manufacture tolerances?When I see those red bars anywhere...well I guess I'm not exactly sure how to interpret their meaning. I would sure be grateful for a good explanation of how to read the tape. John Franklin

Could you guys remove the commas in the folders for the configuration combination for the B1900 with KL2+WX500+GPS530 for both the Panel and Panel.VC options in FS9?.Because of the commas my WinZip in Win XP kept ignoring it and was not able to access it.I brought the file to my work machine and was able to unzip it correctly. However, if you could update the file removing the commas in the folder, this would make sure that somebody in the future with the same config as mine or not knowing how to do it right, wouldn't have the same problem as I did.Just an opinion.Enrique O.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/checkcapt.jpg

Hi;I'd kind of like to know what cruise settings everyone is using for the beautiful new Beech 1900D.i.e. RPM, Torque, etc.I don't seem to be getting anywhere near the cruise speed shown in the "Select Aircraft" section. This is okay, but I'd like to think that at least I'm setting everything somewhere close to normal crusie speed or not.Thanks!!Regards,DonaldS

Hi PMDG :DJust before I purchase, I need to know what cards you take? Will you accept Switch cards (United Kingdom)? Please help, its not quite clear on your site. Thanks in advanceDan Pawley

First of all let me congratulate the team for producing another outstanding product. Well done! Now on to my question, I'm using the JL2 HSI/ND but I can't find the RTU anywere on the panel. I can access it from the pull-down meneu, but is there a clickspot on the panel I'm missing? Thanks,Dave FisherCYYZhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

PMDG, the framerates in the 737NG VC are still the most demanding of resources more so than any other VC made for FS2k4. You guys have took the crown away from VMAX 747 (FS2k2 version). You have done an outstanding job of updating this package but the VC needs a little more refinement. I fly this aircraft the most but have to resort to 2D if I expect to hit an overcast during my flight. The VC in this bird doesn't do well with clouds. Are you guys still working to improve the VC because I also noticed that FS9 seems to slow down periodically when using this panel??? One while my framerates are at 31 and then they'll drop to 9 for no reason at all. I hope you contin…

Hello everyone....The 1900 is a beauty and I have got one flawless flight a short pattern around KSEA last night.....My only issue so far is when I go to select an aircraft and I choose the PMDG B1900D FS9 freezes up and I have to reboot the PC to get back into the desktop.I am using the latest FSUIPC and the newest ATI drivers for my PC....I am thinking about uninstalling the 1900 and doing a clean reinstall to see if that corrects the issue but I cant find a unistall.exe file to do so.....Can you help me out on both of my issues, I was planning on a trip from SEA to GEG today.Randy Smith

Hello all, I am currently deciding on a base model to build a simpit. In the running are PMDG's 737NG and the upcoming V2 PIC767(whenever it gets here). My question is, has PMDG published any SDKs that would help a builder interface his cockpit? If not, are there plans in the near future to do this? I really want to take my simulations to the next level and without this info, that would not be possible. I do not want to get a product and spend many hours learning all the ins and outs of the systems, only to find out that I cannot use it in my future setup.Respectfully,ChuckCYXU

Now that you have done the small one, please finish the big one :-)Seriously, your products are great, big thanks to the team.

Is there any plans of making an Express version of B737?

Hello all,PMDG, A simple question. Is it or is it not possible to install the 737NG onto two personal computers (i.e.Home and laptop/work)? I've had a look around at your site and also on this forum but haven't been able to find a FAQ, T&C's, EULA or post that answers this.I understand that the license system PMDG uses requires machine binding and the inability to reinstall without contacting PMDG, is this correct? If so I take it that CD backups don't work either? Hope you can clarify this for me.CheersDavid

HiI have been caught up in the delay receiving my e-mail to download the B1900D. Some hours after purchase, I got the e-mail, but when I click to download it tries to take the windows default download path, no good for me with a 56K modem (no broadband in my area yet). If I try to use FlashGet or DAP or GetRight, it will not activate to download. I would be grateful for suggestions to help me obtain my purchase.Many thanks Captainsbest regardsBob Wright

In the 1900D, is there a way to "grab" both Prop (or Condition) controls with the mouse? I can only change them one at a time unless I use the keyboard commands.Charlie

Hi,The manual states that you set the cruise speed via the fuel flow, the figures given are 450lbs fuel flow gives 280TAS and 280 fuel flow gives 230TAS.I have completed a few flights now, and using the above fuel flows I cant get anywhere near the quoted TAS figures, with 450lbs I get 240TAS and with 280lbs I get 200TAS.Any help please?CheersDanny Watkins.

Any ideas how to change the displayed approach chart in the Virtual Cockpit to one of your choice? I've just changed my version to 1.3 and can't find the instructions anywhere. Apparently you can do it.:-jumpy

I might have missed it but I thought something was said about a tutorial flight for the 1900 and there is nothing in the manual. JeffG
