Does anyone know where I can find a modified 737-700 air file that reflects the increased fuel capacity of the BBJ? Does one even exist?Thanks,Jonathan

Hello,last night I've installed the SU2 in FS2004. I have an annoying flaw regarding the baro value. As you can see in pic 1 the pressure is mB 1013/inHg 29.92. Then the pressure changes (either manually or by downloading with real-world weather or when flying online), say now it's 990/29.23.In pic 2 I've changed the setting as shown in the PD, but in the s/by alt while the inHg pressure is correct the mB pressure is wrong. There is no way to correct this, and this happens on the ground and in flight, changing with the main baro knob or with the s/by one.A clue may be in pic 3, where I'm just changing the value. From time to time a dark strip appears on the inHg window an…

Seasons greetings,Since installing the the new version SU2 I've noticed an additional paragraph has been made in fs9.cfg file.I now have 2 sections named keyboard_main. I can only assume it has something to do with the additioal PMDG keystrokes.I have deleted all the PMDG and FS9 default key strokes and only programmed the ones I use.I have the aerosoft ACP compact and I can now program the knobs / buttons to do some of the new PMDG controls.Thanks for s great Up-date.Mal

Hey PMDG,it's xmas time and very suprisingly I got a new PC... Now after the SU2, what should I do exactly in order to use the 737NG again with my new machine?Merry christmas to all of you and a happy new year from Berlin...Kind RGDS,Flo

sorry if i'm not supposed to be doing this, i have'nt uploaded it or made it available to anybody except me. I think it really adds to the 2d panel, if poeple agree it might be something to consider for the 800/900.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/54384.jpgrgds,Callum Richardson

ChapsLovely 737 by the way, I'm having a great time with it, here's a shot over the wing of my Britannia 737 en route to Tenerife!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/54305.jpgJust a quick question though, since I installed SU2, I've not been able to extend the airstairs. I've assigned the concorde visor up/down keys but it still doesn't seem to work.. any ideas?Ben

Hello!First of all a Merry Xmas to all of you! While reading the manuals and trying to do the tutorial flight I noticed something strange :In the FS2004 load program, both the 737-700 and 600 show a much higher MTOW than it says in the manuals...The -700 shows as 153,500lbs (manual : 133,000) and the -600 shows 144,000lbs (manual : 127,000)First I thought this came because I use metric settings in my FS2004, but even after switching the the US system, the same MTOW figures remained.Any idea what could be wrong here? A friend of mine has the same indication. To me this sounds more like the data for the 800/900 series? I use the new version of the 737NG, downloaded yesterda…

Does probe heat really work or does it need the SHIFT+H treatment? I've been running into icing conditions through clouds which is causing the airspeed indicator to blitz out even with probe heat on.ThanksJason Barlow

-I was just wondering, is there a way to just takeoff and everything yourself, and then get in the air, and then have the plane follow a flight plan?-Also, I have never had a problem with the PMDG, but I was doing the tutorial v2 by Fred Clausen, and I left the room and then the screen was black, and I could here the sounds, but nothing was happening.

Help support team, I don't understand what all this mess is about. The new link you have sent doesn't work and now I have been locked out of the old one. I finally got 28 Mb of my file saved and then it just stopped and locked my out saying I wasn't authorized for this file. As a dial up user I really feel there is no support for us. Is there a way to get a refund for something that wont work? There are other user with the same problems but we get no answers Why? This is not really good customer support as we when you answer my question through email you ask the same question, I answer and you give the same answer to my answers. Not good since it didn't work the f…

Just a shot to say Merry Xmas to everyone. Thanks to PMDG for this mighty fine product!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/54311.jpg

Hi all,I am an aircraft engineer but a an NOT an aircraft re-painter :-) I ahve tried but faied miserably, in fact my 6 year old daughter does a better job. I would love to see the 737 in the following liveriesFLY-GLOBESPAN.COM, ICELAND EXPRESS, BLUEBIRD CARGO, RYANAIR, HOLA, TRAVEL SERVICE.Anyone else got some favourites they would like to see the 737 fly in?Merry Christmas Si Jones

Hi,I made a few VNAV PATH Descend tests at ISA conditions. (no wind, std temp etc.)I programmed the FMC for a descend on direct course to RWY TDZ, from FL310 to 162ft. Based on B737 FCTM, it should took ~105 nm from TOD to TDZ. But FMC Calculated TOD point is only 82 nm out from TDZ. I think VNAV PATH descend TOD comes a bit late than normal.I'm used to check my descend rate with "3nm for every 1000ft alt" rule, and now I feel a little weird with 737.Do you feel yourself late for descend or feel high when descending too?

I can't speak for others but I'm really looking forward to the BBJ version from you guys. Looking at how Eaglesoft had done wonders with their Virtual Cabin, I can't wait to see what you guys would do. I'm imagining a virtual bedroom, conference room, etc. Only the Gulfstream can compete with the BBJ for the most luxurious accommodations in the private business jet market. I actually would love to see this version first over the 800/900 (I know that won

I have noticed that after updating to SU2 that after preflight and entering into the FMC the SID and dep rwy that the track line for the nav display shows incorrectly. Example if I selected a rwy for dep 09 and position the a/c on the rwy the track line displays the end of the rwy that I'm sitting on which would be the dep end for the opposite rwy 27. Is this normal or is it just me?

Is the FMC meant to calculate the take-off speedsor do they have to be entered manually?Also how does one change the runway conditionfrom say wet to dry, etc. I've tried a few thingsbut could't get it to work.Is this sort of info in some manual?thanksJoaquin

I have two questions that I am not sure about:1) When choosing the climb for the take off, what determines which one to use. Derated climb 1, 2 ect? I always pick the last one but am not sure why i do it. Is there something in the manual that tells us how to pick?2) When choosing the different approaches, I usually pick the RWY and an extension point of 10nm. First, can you put an extension in the real plane? And as for the approaches set up in the FMC, RNAV's, DILS approaches, ect, when should I choose the new approaches set up, and what would make me do so instead of just picking the runway and extension point? What are the benefits of choosing one of the new ap…

Hi guys,I thought I'd give the PLN2RTE utility a try, which should be able to convert FS flightplanner .pln files into PMDG FMC .rte files. However, I can't get it to work, probably because I am doing something wrong.Has anyone succesfully used it and if yes, how does it work? I've tried dragging the .pln file just about everywhere and pushed the pln2rte.exe a number of times but I still only have the original .pln file.Thanks,Leo Bakker

When I am in 2D panel mode I get 2 sounds in background.One is the circulation fan which I have been able to turn offin the overhead, but the other which also sounds similarto a fan and I have identified in sound directory as an electricalaudio file I have been unable to turn off. Any ideas?Second question has to do with the spoliers, when I retractthem they don't appear to work and sound continues. How canI disable them?Many thanks in advance for help and happy Xmas to everyone,I'm on my second glass of port already...(not flying tonight).Joaquin

Good morning all,I recently purchased and installed PMDG737NG into FS9.My question is, whilst most of my Goflight modules work with the PMDG737NG the Autopilot doesn't - neither does my MCP747 which is quite frustrating.Does anyone know if a fix is in the worksBTW I did a search on PMDG737NG+Goflight and it produced nothing so I assumed no one had raised this topic before.....Cheers......Doug

Hello everyone,am sure I can find this *somewhere* in the forums, so forgive me beforehand for asking ;)I find the default forward view eye-position to be one notch off. Before I start flying, I always move the viewpoint down 1 step (Shift-backspace).How do I edit the (panel).cfg file to make this the default view?Thanks a lot & happy Holidays!
