What type of joystick / controller do you use?

Hello, I have a big problem here. When I'm in the virtual cockpit of my PMDG 737, I can't click on anything. This problem occured yesterday and I have no idea about the reasons. In the 2D cockpit, everything is working fine. But back in the virtual cockpit, I can't click on any instruments, from the overhead panel to the MCP, nothing works. How can I fix that ? Best Regards

I was wondering if non 777/737 etc pilots will be able to purchase this for P3d, or will it be limited to those who actually fly the birds? Patrick Boynton

Don't know whether this was already posted, but I think these videos are very informative: More at: http://www.jetstreamtv.net/

Greetings all, When I'm painting the 777 and want to check alignment of items on the model, these model viewers are a great tool to use without constantly loading up FSX to check something. I noticed that all other models I view display all their textures, but the 777 is missing a slab off the side fuse, as well as the tail. For any painters (or the model dev here) that may know why this is happening and more importantly, how to fix, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also if you know why there is a big checkerboard wall splitting the model that would be great too. Please see screen below for reference.

Captains- This morning we were working with a few of you that reported trouble installing either the 200LR/F or the 300ER versions of the 777 into FSX-SE. If you had trouble with the installation- such as any of the following: 1) The installer would report that it could not find your FSX.CFG 2) The installer would tell you that FSX or some other required component was not installed. 3) The installer would run and appear okay- but when you launched the sim, nothing worked... 4) Some other problem UNRELATED TO the Operations Center or liveries that appeared when you attempted to run the 777 for the first time in FSX:SE..... Please go to your account an…

Captains, We are in the home-stretch with our first release for P3D. The first product release for P3D will be the PMDG 777-200LR/F and the PMDG 777-300ER products. New 08JAN15 Information Condensed Here: We are tying down a few licensing loose ends and we anticipate that both products will be in the hands of our testing team for final approval within a week or two. Right now the **only** item we are waiting on is a module that we license from an outside vendor that must be updated to run properly in P3D. Once we have that module, we will be booting the 777s out to the test team, then pushing them out to the user community. I am going to refrain from putti…

Hi, When I want to check the version of 777-200L/R (which is 1.10.6320) the OC says that it is unable to determine the version on the server. Is this normal behavior (maybe info is not yet availalbe on the server) or did my update went wrong (although everything seems to be running fine)..just wondering kind regards,

Hello, i have a question to the Electronic Checklist. My preflight checklist looks like this but in the previews it looked like: Best regards Jean-Pierre Hofmann

I am actually planning to set a flight club in school, and I saw the extended download services before, where it could save a lot of money without requiring new people coming in and paying 100+ Canadian dollars to buy a PMDG product to fly. But just now, I found out that the extended download services are gone and why? Will the services be back?

Hi All I have just read this topic- http://forum.avsim.net/topic/459512-08jan15-updated-p3d-development-information/, and do not understand it 100% so can someone confirm my suspicions that I'll have to buy the 777-200/300 and eventually the 737 and JS41 again. (I have them for FSX already) Thanks

Good afternoon PMDG staff, Would it be possible to spin up a new 747X (new 747) forum for us to post questions and thoughts to and to help keep the legacy product separate from the new one? Just curious... Hope all is well DR

Gents- I am collecting information from anyone who is having trouble installing the 777s into FSX:SE. I need to know what your installation process was like. For example: 1) FSX Installed. Then installed FSX:SE. Then uninstalled FSX. 2) FSX Installed. Then installed FSX:SE. Both remain installed. 3) Never had FSX installed. Installed FSX:SE. FSX:SE remains the only installed sim. 4) Never had FSX installed. Installed FSX:SE. Then installed FSX. 5) Something else... please describe? I suspect there is an installation scenario we might not have accounted for and that is tripping a few of you up- but I need help identifying the patters so we can …

Hello, I have the PMDG 747 and the PMDG 777 (recently bought) With the 747 i have no issues. But now with the 777 i have the issue that at the EBBR airport there is no database. I have already reinstalled navigrah airac 1501 and PMDG 777. So once i start and fill in my origin (EBBR) i get the message "EBBR ERR: 01 RWY N/A" http://imgur.com/wPKlzi8 So i get a look in the DEP ARR menu and i see it's empty. http://imgur.com/GuAzm4n With the PMDG 747 i have no issues the product is working great. http://imgur.com/3Osvn0Z May there only be 1 PMDG aircraft be installed? Anybody has a fix? Thanks Syfen

It's been a very long time since I haven't been able to sleep soundly through the night. Last night however, I ​was awake tossing and turning- something was ​nagging at me. I had received the 777 for Prepar3d a couple of days ago, and while I had been testing the freighter, I hadn't installed the 77W. She was calling. Quietly, so as not to disturb my sleeping wife, I got up and fired up the two sim computers in the den. A few minutes with familiar installers had the 77W sitting happily as one of my "favorites" in P3d. Then (and perhaps because it was 1am and the house was still, and inspiration running amuck) I decided to work on my Prepar3d.cfg and Inspector settin…

when will you release the new patch for pmdg 737 to work on steam?

Hello Folks! The latest updates/information from PMDG regarding 777 updates in Ops Center has been a disaster. I currently have version 1C of the 777-200 and the 777-300 installed but yet, the Ops Center tells me that there are new versions available. When I click "More Info", there's no info on the release and you are prompted to go download the full installers. Now they have added the FSX-SE installers to add a little to the confusion. If you go to the PMDG downloads area, the latest installers for both 777's say version 1C. So, be careful with following what the Ops Center says under notifications cause it can cause you to make a big mess and have to re-instal…

Hi Guys, Here are a few preview shots of my latest repaint - It will be available on AVSIM shortly. Page - www.facebook.com/goldstartextures or goldstartextures.com Enjoy!

I've updated the pinned topic as well, but I've just noticed there is now a 2015 version of the magdec.bgl file available since the 1st Jan. Sorry if this is old news. http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids.html

I have FSX Acceleration box edition, which has been on my system for several years and has steadily acquired modifications including the PMDG 777X. I'd now like to slowly migrate over to FSX:SE, so about a week ago, shortly following the announcement that SP1d was available (i.e. on 25 Jan 2015), I redownloaded the 777 installer from my order page and attempted to install it on FSX:SE. However, the installer found the existing installation and gave me only two choices: Repair (INOP), and Remove (unwanted). This raises two questions, which I have also raised unanswered on the Steam Community forum: 1) If I want to install the 777 on FSX:SE, do I first have to remove…

Hi Guys, I have always run EZDOC, but recently received a birthday present of Trackiir. Do I run them both side by side together or is there a set procedure on when and where to run them.

So I noticed something yesterday that is bugging me. If I use PFPX to file a flight plan with a PMDG 777 when I go to calculate my d-rated takeoffs I get v1 -1 vr 0 v2 0. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if someone else could check for me if they are or not. I am using FSX:SE single install. It just happens with the 777 family and it is only on the paperwork but I use the paperwork as a cross reference. Things get imported into the FMC and show up on the CDU just fine. II know that this forum is more active than the PFPX forum and I just need eyes to see if it is just my comp. or if it is something I will need to submit to support. FYI I am runnin…

Captains, It's with a very heavy heart that we report the passing tonight of PMDG's Extended Download Service policy. EDS was born on March 15, 2006 in Reno, Nevada. It grew up in a happy home surrounded by some of the best developers in flight simulation. EDS travelled the world, helping simmers in dozens of countries obtain their lost downloads. EDS was reported deceased tonight in Washington, DC and is survived by Robert, Paul, Ryan, Michael, Vangelis, Vin, Jason, Henning, Kyle, Chris, and the License Reset, General Support and Billing/Sales departments. EDS will be missed. A memorial service will be held Sunday at 1200Z on the ramp at KHEF. In lieu of flowers,…

So, me being a sort of new person at PMDG, how would I go about getting the new installers for the 777 + expansion? Is there a link for the installers or do I need to log in with some account?

short and sweet: how do I delete a flight plan in my FMC
