I can't seem to locate the key combo to get the ladder to work on either the so equipped 737-600 or 700. Love the birds............. Thanks for any help.

Hi.I know the CWS is simulated in SU2, but the manuals does not describe how to use it. Missing pdf file in the dokumentation?Jan Roar R

Hi all,When on the ground i can now move also the autobrake selector to the 1,2,3 and max position. In the previous version that was not possible. Acc. to my references it should not be possible to select those autobrake functions, because the airplane must be in air mode.In the previous version, when on ground, you could only select RTO.So is this a bug or not?Who can help out?Alex

The virtual cabin is designed to be walked-through using a third party program called "ActiveCamera". When the 737 was in design, ActiveCamera was a freeware program for FS2002. When ActiveCamera updated itself to FS2004, they went to a payware scheme. Unfortunately, this was one of the perils of using someone elses software to enable all the features on "your" package, and it bit PMDG square in the rear. Luckily, it's not an essential feature. You should still find ActiveCamera for FS2002 around, but you will have to pay for the FS2004 version. And no, the free version is not compatable with FS2004 - I tried. :)ActiveCamera also does more than just let you walk around. I…

Hi, PMDG FlyersI am entering Custom Waypoints in the FMC (Place Bearing Distance format) and can

Hi friends,I keep reading about a 68 MB download size; however, my SU2 download was only 67 MB.Am I missing something?ThanksAndres

HelloI am trying to make charts for LJLJ but I have a problem. I want write a procedure for one specific turn, but I simply can't find the appropriate grammar.This is the example:http://users.volja.net/brelinej/sid1.jpgI want to write a procedure for a turn after takeoff from RWY31. I crated FIX for MKR WEST, which is called MKRW.I have already tried as followed: RNW 31 FIX OVERFLY MKRW SPEED 250 DIRECT NAVAID MG. When I open the procedure in the FMC, I get a discontinouty after MKRW.How would you write a procedure for that turn?Regards, Nejc

Hi guys,I have the NG with the update 1.2 running in FS9. Incredible job!but... I can't get acceptable frame rates unless I turn off ai traffic. I did a test where I knocked all sliders and settings all the way to the left but left AI traffic on (50% airline and GA). The frames were only about 14 in open sky and single digits (8-9) on approach. When I disabled traffic I get 14-19 on approach and much higher in open skies. The other display settings don't affect the NG performance that much.Does anyone else see this? Could it be my video card, memory? Or is it strictly CPU?specs:P4 2.4512 ramGeForce Ti 4200 64 meg Thanks for any feedback.

Hi! i have installed SU2 and i am testing the new SID/STAR/IAL syntax. however, i porgrammed a SID that calls for a turn that's around 180 degrees. When i flew this turn i coulden't see it show up on the ND. All i saw was a straight line beetween my Conditional altitude constraint ( (2600) ) and the VOR radial ( (TRO214) ). Why is there no turn to be displayed on the ND? Would this have been the situation in real life 737NG? Roar Andre Nicolaisen

I tried posting this before but seemingly noone had an explanation, and now I'm going at it again for more info, just in case anyone cares.It's fully repeatable and didn't happen pre SU2. The facts:ENZV to ENBR, cruise set to 16000, and using the following SID/STAR:SID LUCKY2R RNW 36 NAVAID RSY NAVAID KRM NAVAID LUCKYSTAR LUCKY1E NAVAID LUCKY 4000 NAVAID BENTI 4000 NAVAID ROBIX 3000 NAVAID GOLAX 3000 NAVAID BR443 3000 NAVAID BR441 3000 NAVAID INTEL 3000 RNW 17In the LEGS page I've modified the altitude constraint on the STAR so that I'm supposed to be passing LUCKY at 16000, BENTI at 10000 and GOLAX at 6000, and I've added RWX-17 at 5 miles with a speed constraint at 180.…

when I set the FMC speed to VREF before landing it do not show up on the PFD.

HelloYour AC is great...looking forward next releases...this is a real great job...So my lil' question is : "why, when A/T in ARM or THR HOLD, throttles axis is still disabled???"...Is it your choice or FS limitations???Thanx in advance...Essono Fritz

I remember seeing a screeshot on the forum of a 737 livery that I was impressed with. I recall that it was blue and perhaps Hungarian.Can anyone point me in the right direction to find it. Thanks.

I was just wondering where I can find the SU2 liveries?Are they not up yet or am I missing something on the web site?ThanksAndrew

Hi All, First of all, let me express my happiness over finally having gotten SU2 downloaded and installed. What beauty. I set up a flight from EKCH to EGLL and noticed when I planned the approach into London that all the runways in the Approach Page were listed as DILS27L etc and also as 27L. I have briefly skimmed the manuals, but have come up emptyhanded. Anyone?Thanks for a great plane and a solid piece of work, PMDG!Boaz

Hi,I haven't the callouts "twenty-five-hundred" in the approach phase.I have activated the (RA Callouts-2500) from the style menu of PMDG.You know something for this problem?Thank you very muchFriendlyPaul

I just read "Appendix 1: How to write SIDS and STARS". I find it rather fascinating and would like to start writing complete airport procedures for the airports in my area (based on NavCanada charts) Is this a good place to post my questions (eg. Why doesn't my SID work? Why am I getting errors?) Is there a different forum for this?Kenny Rogers

HelloI attempted to buy the PMDG 737 today, but couldn't get to the checkout, because the validation script stubbornly insists that I have to enter 5 characters into the Bill to: Name field, since my last name is 7 letters long, I was assuming the the error message, even though unspecific, refers toi the "First Name" field.But unfortunately my Name is Max and that is only three letters instead of the required 5 and that name won't get any longer anytime soon ;-) Well, the overamericanized 5 digit zip code requirement can easily be overcome with a leading zero (Swiss Postal codes only have four digits), but the 5 letter First Name requirement seems to be a little on the th…

After you kindly emailed us the upgraded file, I have tried to download the product from the emailed link, however, the file will not download through my download software - Get Right. Get Right works on everything else?

Hi!I've tried to download the paintkits from precisionmanuals.com. The download itself is working, but all I get are files with "0 bytes".Has anyone downloaded them successfully? I know the liveries are currently not available for bandwidth reasons, but the paintkits should be there, right?

It is practically since yesterday ' afternoon that my DAP it is firm as from the screen

Hello. I have a quick question regarding tuning an ILS. I think I'm doing it right, but obviously I'm missing something.Was inbound on the KORD JVL4 arrival on VATSIM with Center staffed. After getting turned for vectors for ILS 27R (IIAC), I went into "dumb" autopilot mode (HDG Select, ALT Hold and MCP Speed), disconnecting VNAV and LNAV. I tuned the ILS freq (110.5) into both COM1 and COM2, shifted them from standby to active, and dialed in the approach course of 270.This all happened while I was still to the northwest of KORD, so I expected the nav radios to pick up the 9L ILS (IJAV) since it's on the same freq (which they did). Well, the NAV radios never succeeded in …

When i insert waypoints and airways i get lots of discs on the rte page. I have tried Airac0312, the default 0311, reinstalling the pmdg and reinstalling FS9 but same problem.. With SU1 everything is going fine.Some discs are easy to remove others gives route disc inserted when i try to del them with the del button and clicking between the disc.I have uploaded some pics to get an idea what i mean:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/53300.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/53301.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/53302.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/53303.jpgThanks for all help!Marcel
