PMDG General Forum

Hi thereFirst a Happy new Year to you all and hopefully a quiet one.I just bought this addon and so far it looks and feels like itis going to be a winner. I printed out all the manuals and nowgot a Q. Can I use FSBuild with PMDG? Where are the tutorial Flightplans? Is anybody working on a checklist for FDC?Thank you team.Carel.

It's an insignificant bug, but I've noticed that when selecting a warmer temperature in the left selector during daytime, the animation of the selector is acurate, but with the panel lights on, the selector apears in the wrong position, but if I turn off the panels light, the correct position is shown. This is only an animation bug, the function is perfect (very nice adition thank you :-badteeth ) and independent of the light condition. now that I'm in to posting a diferent kind of question: I use the triger button in the joystick as the brake, so it has not an axel assigned to it thus the braking power is allways max when pressed. I find this (in other planes) anoying a…

Just after PMDG released the SU2 update for 737NGmy network card broke down, now i finally gota new and internet is up and running again!BUT!! I can't find the update anywhere :( and the linki got in the mail from PMDG is not working either! :-violin ;( Where can i get the SU2 update for 1.2 version??

Hi,There's one feature that I would find very cool on the future PMDG 737's : automatic pause at TOD. PSS has incorporated it on the A330/340 and I really love it, makes "life" a lot easier.I know it's a little bit away of the "as real as it get's"-idea but then a real simulator has flight freeze as well !:-walksmile RegardsThomas

Hey PMDG,I'm really happy with the new plane and I fly it as often as possible. But there is one thing that still bothers me.Eventhough this topic was posted before I wasn't able to find a solution. On approach and also on ground I am not able to arm my speedbrakes. Neither with my keyboard nor with my mouse.Since I am still one of the FS2k2 users this occurs over and over again. Is there maybe a small mini SU for Fs2k2 users that solves that issue?Would appreciate any kind of assistance.kind RGDS,Flo (TXL, Germany)

Hi,Last week I downloaded the 737NG.I must say that I love this aircraft.Today whan I wanted to do a flight from EBBR to LEAL I got the following error.When I entered LEAL as destination airport in the FMC I received the following error :ERR AT T1, Line 109.I correcte this error as instead of the runway there was mentioned T1.The I tried again an I received the Following error :ERR AT ALT, line 138 This is an error in the approach section of the sid/star file. I do not know how to change this.Could someone please help me ?Regards,Peter

Hello,I'm a newbie to the PMDG 737, bought it this weekend and I'm totally excited by it ! ;-)After some short-haul en long-haul flight there's 1 thing that I've noticed and that is an error in the FMC fuel calculation :This morning I flew KPHX-KBOS with the 737-700, full fuell. During climb the FMC told me to expect 22 000 lbs of fuel left in KBOS. The moment when I am leveling of and going into cruise the FMC tells me there will be insufficient fuel. Once passed the TOD the FMC 'updates' itself and predicts 21 200 lbs of fuell to remain (sounds logic considering wind aloft).--> Some rough analysis led me to the conclusion that in the cruise portion of the flight, the…

Hi people.Im tryed to get the stars of LEBL into the already exciting LEBL file, so basicly just a add to the file that Terry maked before.But the stars doesnt make sense. So i ask someone how can mod. a star into the lebl airport procedures, would you do that?thanks,Ramon.PS.Just did a realy nice autoland.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/55382.jpg

Hello,Just a quick note, in reference to another thread, but in the other way.Flying from KMIA to KPHL, I was steady in cruise, using AS2004 as external weather prog. All was quiete and perfect upto the time where I set up the FMC for the arrival and approach.After that, for any given reason, suddenly the AP goes from VNAV LNAV to MACH and start to descent, with the CWS in amber in the right side of the PFD. Using the yoke to regain control with out disconecting the AP does work fine, and after reingaging the VNAV, it goes back to the selectedc alt.This did happen 4 times in 15 minutes, upto the time it did happened when I was away from the desk.I have no idea where it co…

Where can I get the SID/STAR files at?Thanks, Jase

Sorry, I realize that this is non-PMDG related, but thought I'd post it for all to see.I just got an email from the A&E Channel announcing a new weekly series entitled "Airline: We all have our baggage" that begins on Monday, January 5th at 10:00pm. It's a behind-the-scenes look at what Southwest Airlines deals with on a daily basis at a few of their busier airports (sounds pretty similar to the Discovery Wings series "Airport", in my opinion)...They have a webpage with a preview available here: http://www.aetv.com/tv/shows/airline/- Alan Liebowitz

Is there a place for user procedures now?I was flying into a major Europena airport (EKCH?) recently and I hjad no STAR's or approaches listed in the FMC.Tim

Hello,would like to know if you are planning to release an update that will make available the TCAS system on 737.Thank you.

Hi Airmensince SU2 I have a major problem handflying this bird. I use a well calibrated Logitech wingman force and a fresh and clean install of SU2and I had to shut down the forcefeedback because of major stuttering of the stick during taxi and flight a n d the rudder is so sensitive. On each move the aircraft starts turning imediately.I tried a crosswind 10 Degrees with around 12 knots and was not able to bring the bird to the centerline. (Which afterwards with the 757PIC was not a prob at all) What can I do to improve this?

Sometimes when I try to activate Vnav after 1000 feet it refuses. If I wait one minute or so then it works. Why?Georg Langrath

Hello captains,When I start FS9 and I load up the 737 1.2 I can fly no problem.But after 15 minutes or so I noticed some hick up in framerates and especially the sound. When I switch from cockpitview to spotview, fs9needs a very long time to build up the textures and when it builds up, the whole sound stutters and framerates drops to nearly zero....I noticed another thread somewhere that the problem could be the Audigy card in my PC. Because when I shutdown flightsimulator after using the 737 all the memory gets freed (Task manager) but the task mixer.exe stays at the reserverd memory (lately 91mb) until I kill it with the taskmanager.4 days ago it had 211mb reserved with…

Hi Lefteris,Do you happen to know what the status of the 747MCP is? I know you sent info to Aerosoft some time ago, but we haven't heard a thing from them in ages. In the mean time my MCP sits on the shelf since all I fly is the NG.By any chance have you been able to get yours working with the NG? If so would you be able to share how you did it?Thanks for any info you might have and thanks to all of you at PMDG for a great plane.Sincerely,Tom Hibben

Would love to have a Frontier Airlines livery with this animal: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/362106/L/Thanks.

Hi,Last night I was preparing the FMC for a flight from EDDF to LEMG. When I entered LEMG as my destination airport, I got the following message:Err at 40, line73Also, when I checked the arrivals page, Not a single runway was listed for LEMG.Did anyone face the same problem?Thanks for the help in advance!

...for this wonderful add-on! Took this beautiful wingview shot on my way from EFHK to ESSA and I think this must really be the closest you can get to the real thing in front of an ordinary PC!Again, thanks for all your hard work and giving all of us the opportunity to fly this kind of a/c!!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/55208.jpg

Hi,I am wondering if the CPflight 737 MCP is compatible to the PMDG 737 NG.Does anyone have any information ?ThanksBen (EDDT)

Umh, sorry for that question :-)To which folder do I have to extract the SID/STARS I have downloaded from Navdata ?Same for FS2002 and FS9 ?Thanks !Ben (EDDT)

Anyone know what "DILS" is on the runway approach page? I know what ILS is. What is DILS, & how do the 2 differ?ThanksChris Catalano

Hello Captains!I'm sure this has more to do with FS9 than it does with the PMDG 737, but since I happened to be flying that aircraft at the time, I figured I ask here in this forum first. I had a very strange occurrence which I'm hoping someone might have an explanation for. Early this evening, I was flying between Denver (KDEN) and Boise (KBOI). My flight plan had me on J154 to J20 to J54 at FL350. At some point, I flew over OCS and turned onto J20 toward PIH. I was at cruising altitude, Mach .810, weather was clear and the FMC was in control. No problems whatsoever. However, about half-way between OCS and PIH, I suddenly noticed that the aircraft was climbing rapidly.…

Hi,This is the error i get when i put VTBD as the destination into the FMC. Have installed the lastest NAVDATA.Any ideas??Regards,Darren TaylorSydneyAustralia
