PMDG General Forum

Hi All,Does anyone knows has a tip to perform the startup sequence (then from cold and dark) at night? because it is impossible to see anything and then to find the overhead button.......Thanks,

PMDG you out did yourself on this updated 737NG package. This thing is awesome...

The right engine stop responding after a few minutes into my flight.I enter the flight with the engines running and I'm using FS9.Very annoying. Impossible to make a flight. Strange thing is that it responds to the reverser.

Hello all,I've started using PMDB 737NG. The only problem I have is that I can't do a full preflight as the FMC doesn't seem to have anything in the database. I tried every major airport in the US and outside and all I get is "not in database". Is there any simple solution to this problem or am I just skipping something important. Thanks in advance for your help.Simon

Hello Guys,I must first say that I am delighted with the upgrade to this wonderful airplane. It is a delight to fly. My one concern and I know others have reported a gain but I have experienced a loss of FPS using the new 737NG. I lock FS at 16FPS and with the old 737NG I was getting 16 consistently. Now I am only seeing it when flying high on the airways.It

Gentleman~I have half way through my first flight with the SU2 version. BOS-PHL AAL style. I am throughouly (sp?) impressed!! You have outdone yourselves! Those guys at PSS can't touch you with a 10 foot pole! The FMC, the sounds, the flyablity are amazing!!! One question: Is there a limit to the amount of liveries you can add? In my SU1 version I could add about 20ish liveries before they would stop showing up, I should I could put [flightsim.20] before I couldn't see anymore. Not a big deal if there is, who needs that many anyways?? lol. PLEASE keep up the hard work!

Just saw a great commercial Soutwest is using to advertise their carribean flights.It has some nice shots of a pair of pilots going through checks in an NG, and it looks and sounds just like the PMDG!

Hi GuysIf i click "P" to pause the simulator - it will not work - anyone know why ? It is assigned to pause the sim under the button assignments.Also - if i want to press SHIFT-Z to view framerates, that also does not appear to be workingAny Ideas ?Thanks

PMDG: Delete is you feel this is inappropriate!I found this while searching the forum for the list of what SU2 was to include. I know some have asked, as I was interested as well.NOTE: This is an unofficial pre-SU2 list of fixes that was posted a few weeks back. Only PMDG can verify what has been done for sure as it pertains to the released update!! PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN if this list contains something not included in the update :-)ChrisFMC/CDU:===========================================================New pages- RTE DATA page- PROGRESS page 2 (head / cross winds, LNAV Xtrack error etc)- REF NAV DATA pages (wpt, navaid, airport runways in review mode)- FLIGHT PLAN SUM…

Hi PMDG Team,first I would like to say that I'm very happy with your SU2 release. It works very fine! Except for ..... in the radio panel (SHIFT+9) as well as in the virtual cockpit mode I am unable to change any of the turn buttons for the radio frequencies ... when i move the mouse over those buttons, I see the small "+" and "-" in the mouse pointer but I cannot turn the mouse wheel or push the left button to alter the values. Also the two arrow buttons which are to switch between STBY and ACTIVE freq do not work, nothing happens when I click onto this. These problem occurs for the both COMMS (VHF), the both NAV and the ADF receivers but not for the transponder - there …

I continue to enjoy flying the PMDG 737. During my flying experiences, I have come up with a couple of questions or items of possible concern.1) When decreasing flaps from 5 degrees to to 2 degrees, flaps decrease from 5 degrees to 1 degree only.2) With the CDU fully programmed and you turn on the FD, should you not get the crosshairs appearing even while on the ground. I can only seem to get them to appear after the LNAV and VNAV modes have been selected.3) I notice on the ACT PERF LIMITS page, just below the page title, the following message is present which I would like to know what it means: "Time Error Tolerance" "30 sec at RTA wpt)"Regards,Gary Ar…

Hi PMDG Team!I was just wondering whether or not you guys recieved my email from the 16th of December? I sent it to support(at)precisionmanuals.com.(It didn't have to do with downloading SU2)Thanks,Mark

Hi allJust a question. I have sent 2 emails now regarding my change of email address to [email protected] but so far have not heard a peep. Just wondering if the change of address emails have been sent out yet or if it has just been too busy to get around to all of them or if i am sending it to the wrong address etc. Would love to get my update soon is all!!Thanks for your helpBeau Jackson

HiFirst of all my congratulations for the plane until now it's beeing a reliable and well balanced package full of details like the VC FMC.My problem is regarding FSBUILD2 imported FP. Tried a EGLL EDDF and:- SID sintax error just after import;- The EDDF rwy is choosen in the import process and I'm unable to delete it from the legs page.- The EDDF arrivals page is blank;ThanksJos

Guess all got it downloaded now? A few tears and a lot of entertaining posts this week :-)Time for a quick semi -serious first impression one hour flight in Seattle area.Just a manual flight - no autothrottle or autopilot. Started with engine running on active runway.Noticed oil qty 100% - should be less with engine running. Same with hydr qty - should be less with gear down and slat extend. Just minor - no need to correct this.Overhead: Panel cut just below IRS and gear warning lights. No problem - I dont miss them.Anti -ice on and advanced throttles: Wing TAI auto cut off: I am impressed!!T/O warning test:Flap simulated OKParkbrake simulated OKStab trim greenband - not …

After removing PMDG with remove tool and installing upgrade I am getting two errors. When I open FS9, within a few seconds, I get the following error: "Aircraft initialization error. B737-7H4 Southwest Airlines Classic." After this, FS9 locks up on the opening screen with the error "Microsoft Flight Simulator has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience." I never get past the opening screen.I thought I removed the SWA liveries that I had installed. I have tried removing and reinstalling the upgrade several times.Anyone have any ideas?? I hope I don't have to reinstall FS9.I am also using FSNavigator, RC3, SoCal MegaScenery. Didn't have…

Ok, I have to ask you guys at PMDG: Why would you announce yet another 747; albeit of your renowned superior quality prior to your delivering the long awaited (overdue?) 737-800/900??? As I fly a lot of flights with Continental Virtual, I'm attempting to be very, very patient waiting for the 800/900 birds. Any idea of when I can cease holding my breath? (I'm turning bluer by the second):-hmmm Steve

Captains-During the past few hours Lefteris and I have been working make some final adjustments to server. As many of you know- it is now working as we expected.I expect that some of you may still wind up waiting in a small que to obtain your full PMDG 737: THE NEXT GENERATION version 1.2 download, but the server is properly sending nearly 400MB of data per MINUTE- which is closer to what we expected upon the initial release at 0400Z on Saturday.As we've mentioned a few times, the server certainly has the capacity to handle the load we expected- and you can imagine that this has been as frustrating for us as it has been for some of you!This being said, it is important to…

I am getting error at DIST

Some useful advice that may help some of you out. DO NOT TURN RENDER TO TEXTURE OFF - DOING THIS CAUSES A CTD WHEN USING THE PMDG 737 This is probably the cause of the CTD that some of you have been having. I know that there has been some video drivers issues lately, a flickering on screen at times. Advice was given on other forums to turn Render to Texture OFF to prevent this flickering from happening.Doing this and flying the 737 will cause a CTD with an unknown error in the FS9.exe file.Hope this helps.

hello!just wonder if it meant to be, the ground power sound is off.the sound for stby power is now inplemented during all flight and on the ground.the ground power sound like in previous ver. is not there.Is it supposed to be so ..just wonder

Hello,Please I just purchased 737 my downloads stops at 25% and does not go beyond that for the apst few hours i tried many times .Kindly Assist

Thankyou PMDG for the upgrade. In the e-mail which you sent me for a link to the upgrade you mention; 5) We have changed a significant amount in this version, and for that reason it will be necessary to replace ALL of your SID/STAR files, as well as the user liveries. As we update our free liveries to make them compatible with this version of the airplane we will add them to the DOWNLOADS section at www.precisionmanuals.comAs of this moment I have not yet seen any new liverie downloads on your site. Will the old ones still work (I have not yet tried) or do we have to wait for you to upload the new ones to the site?Also I tryed downloading the paintkits for these planes a…

Hey guys..I hope i am not throwing you off with this question...But in any rate when do you estimate the livery downloads will be resumed from your website. I had to reformat a few days ago, and since you had most of liveries i needed situated on your site i didnt back them up.Cheers.
