All:I don't know if this is right or wrong, but after installing SU2, N1 at idle during flights (specifically descents) is in the mid 30's, instead of low 20's. This makes for descents where the airspeed is hard to manage.Is this right, or should N1 at idle in flight be in the low 20's?Note: when I'm on the ground, it's definitely around 20% N1.Thanks,James

hello i can not download this file fs navigator /pmdg export module 737thanks janwillem

Hi All I am a brand new Product user--very cool product--I downloaded some extra liveries and noticed that you need do do some changing to the aircraft config file--I cant locat the area for that information--the link on the company web sit shows me a page not available messageThanks for any helpDorn

Hi Pete,Don't know if this has been asked before.Will you consider painting an Avianca Colombia livery?I don't think they fly the 737 for real but it's a beautiful livery.Regards,Harold Mo

HiSince I installed SU2, there is no more Wind Indicator on the ND.

Hi PMDG, i know it has been ouched on already but i'm certain that i had the 80kts, v1, rotate calls present in the Virtual cockpit with SU1 and now with SU2 they have dissapeared.i'm aware that your wating for SDK's and things for other sounds but if these were present in SU1 can the not be made to work in SU2.Or is there just a problem with my set up and these should still be there?As i fly mainly VC i swapped the sounds for some with british accents that i got somewhere else by just re nameing them. Have i possibly messed something up here that SU2 relies on for proper installation?and help is appreciated........thanks.Callum.

I don't know if they are supposed to, but when I use the trim, the stabilizer twitches!Aside from that and me not being able to get autothrottle to work, this plane is absolutely fantastic@!

Hi allWhen I fly an ILS for RWY 07 I dont get a DME readout.The frequency is correctly tuned. And I have the correct NAV selected.Any ideas as to why?Thanks for your input

hi,I wanted to download the 737-700 paint kit but once I get to the download page it says Provider error '80004005'Unspecified error/downloads/inc_search_form.asp, line 29thanks,Andrew

G'day,I would like to know if the B747-400 under development will have an option to select LCD type EFIS displays. Since the B747ER comes fitted with LCD, thought this might be a selectable option.Thank you for your time.Andrew

How do I turn use the keyboard with my FMC...what is the hot key to press to activate the keyboad to work with it?

For some reason my last 2 flts the FMC is off 10-15 degrees from flt plan. I built my plan with FSBuild2 and exported to FSnav and PMDG. The correct route shows in the color mengenta on the display but the FMC won't fly the exact course. Also when landing when I press the Nav|loc button, the AC intercepts the localizer then fly right pass it. It won't hold on the localizer. But it will follow the glidescope down. Even when the glidescope starts to desend, I press the apr button, the AC still won't follow the localizer.Bill M

hi all,i was emailed a link to download the new SU2 file, i downloaded it, it was approx 67 meg, i unzipped it, i read the read me file and it was the same old initial file (SU1).Did i download something wrong?Also in this zipped file it had instructions and there were like 3 parts to it, i thought the SU2 was only 1 file. ???

I noticed when aircraft is at the gate with engines started and on idle power with parking brakes set the aircraft moves slightly but constantly forward - so after about 30mins you are almost 10-20 meters ahaed from where you should be.When you cut off engines the movement stops.Flightsim is FS2002. PMDG SU2 fresh installation (old version removed with the latest removal-tool)Anybody experienced the same?ThanksArt Vandalay

I find that sometimes the speedbrakes deploy at touchdown and sometimes not. More often not.What is (in detail please) the proper way to arem speed brakes so that they always deploy properly at touch down?ILS(I find that when doing an aoutoland with 2xA/P and autoflare the aircraft - despite the correct approach speed and properly entered data into the FMC - lands *very* smoothly, first touching its main gear very lightly and then again touching down. Perhaps is the autoland landing the aircraft a bit too smoothly, hence the speedbrakes not sensing it is a real landing and not deploying accordlingly?)

1. I'm setting up the final approach so that I have 18 miles stabilized flight down to the runway. Plane flying a perfect stable approach.2. It's doing the autoland.3. The the noses stays up for too long ( I suspect...). If the appr speed is 126 knots/30 flaps, the nose doesn move down until around 95 knots. Looking at the replay, it looks like the nose up position is in a kind of "freeze" mode.Any solution to this strange behaviour during the landing roll?ILS

Hey guys,I just purchased the PMDG737NG, downloaded it from the link I was sent via email but now I have downloaded it, I cant open the ZIP file or extract it because it says that it is corrupt or invalid.Please help becasue I really want to get it installed and start flying it.Thanks,Craig

hi everyonehere is my latest artwork of the latest member of the Malev fleet. i hope you like it.if so, i will upload it to avsim.comthe full story - > in the screenshot forumcheersMartinhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/54061.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/54062.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/54068.jpg

The new update has allowed me to fly vc. I want to know how to control the vc panellight, it differs from 2D where I can fly with very little light, only the glasinstuments. How can I get the same low amount of light in vc.I don't know what 'SDK' is, a short explanation please.Ole

1. Taking off2. After take off and at around 1500ft I turn right (I'm on autopilot having "SPEED" angeaged, "HDG SEL" engaged and "CMD A" engaged3. Speed is 230 knots4. I turn HDG knob to 002 degrees. 737NG turns beautifully (good flight dynamics!).5. FS2004 red characters at the top of the screen tells me I'm flying HDG 002. Which is exactly what I dialed in on the HDG on the AP panel.6. Looking at the ND display however, it indicates I'm flying "TRAK 007 MAG". 7. I shut dowen FS2004. Launching it again, and and the PM 737NG does the same. I try with a few other sim crafts and there it's 002 degrees heading all the time on all displays.8. Why does the PrecisionManuals 73…

...I start up the PMDG 737/700, with running engines, open the FMC, select departure, select via/goto, select arrival, select RW ext with 10NM, select ZFW - cost index - temp - FL, select PERF, select V1, VR, V2. Arm spoilers, RTO, setting the FL in ALT sel, press the TO/GA button - and I have a "beeping" sound while rolling until lift-off. Climb to Cruise-level , TC then TD. The problem is that the plane is approaching the ARRIVAL way too high - not locking to the ILS- localizer, - set in the radiopanel - therefore not engage the APP- mode and GS. As an example the aircraft is at 5000 feet 5 NM from the arrival RW, and 3000 is selected altitude at 10NM from RW. Can any…

Hi people how using the AS2004,I have some question for you.-can you post some pics about the WX screen in PMDG aircrafts (if that is a possibility with AS2004, to use it in PMDG aircraft)??-Is AS2004 a good product or do you say: no way, dont buy that?Thanks,Ramon.

Programming the FMC for a real simple route. Directo from DEPART airport to the RX-point of the DEST airport runway:1. Entering the FROM airport2. Entering the TO airport3. Taking off.4. Flying straight ahead until around 1500 ft5. I am now approx 10 nm left of the FMC/ND track to the TO airport6. So after clean up, a bit of more climb etc I engage the A/P for VNAV and NAV. The aircraft turns right and heads towards the RX-point for the destination airport. Here's where I'm getting a bit confused:7. I'm used to the aircraft turning back to its designated track and adhering to this. Instead I see the 737NG flying towards the next waypoint (in this case the RX-point for the…

Hi Guys, Sorry for the question slightly off topic, but, I'm wondering exactly what observer mode does, will it allow me to see the instruments of another persons plane, even with the default A/C, how about with the PMDG 737?Thanks,Shane Lewis

Guys-Satisfy my curiosity. I can set up a beautiful flight plan with all the speeds and altitude planning I want, however, since I'm flying an IFR plan, ATC seems to have different ideas! What exactly is the point of having predetermined TOC and TOD if ATC is assigning altitudes to you during all phases of flight? I can perhaps see it for a SID or STAR but even then, with MSFS ATC or Radar Contact, you basically have to employ "cheats" to do them. But enroute, what good is a TOC if ATC is telling you when and how far to climb or a TOD if ATC has you coming down at their discretion?Maybe I'm missing the obvious?Thanks-
