PMDG General Forum

Greetings!I have, like some other people;-) been waiting for thenew version of your wonderfully crafted product.Today I realized your website was updated and couldn't waitfor the update-email to arrive.. I tried.. But couldn't..So I payed again! Well, compared to other products I feelthat yours holds at least 3 times the value anyway andwhen I saw that the version was available for new costumersI couldn't hold it anylonger!Well, I guess I was jumping up and down to hard, cause Ididn't notice that the file I was downloading was about18 meg.I did notice that something was very familiar when startingthe installation, though..So, dear sirs, did I pay in vane? Is the link not …

I use CH Pedals and Yoke. I have them calibrated and everything seems to be running smoothly. Yet I find it very difficult to keep the plane straight when on the ground, especially when I apply power for takeoff. I'll to "S's" down the runway. Once in the air im fine, and actually once 80kts hits it seems to get a little easier. I also have FSUIPC. What can be the problem and how to get it resolved? ThanksBrad Zimmer

How does the PMDG 737 compare to the new default;Paul

Developers of pmdg,I would like to buy your product. i bought a mcp hardware, but it only work with defautls panels in FS2002.Its just like the 737 mcp. What i do in it, the same happen in the software panel.If i have to pay one more program, do you can create a litle interface that can comunicate with your panel?Thanks for your help and i holpe you can help me to join my mcp with the best aircraft hever made to FS.Sandro Becker

Captains-This morning's NOTAM will give you some additional information to keep you informed as to where we are with the upcoming release- and also provide some information on what's going on around the PMDG site to keep the conspiracy theorists at bay at least until it is time to dissect my grammar again... (yes- can you believe we had a thread here dissecting my use of the word "and" in an announcement.... hhehheehe.... I feel like a White House Press Spokesman!)Okay- we found some issues with the VERSION_72 that we sent to testing 24 hours ago. It has been superceded by a VERSION_73 that has eliminated the problems identified in VERSION_72....with the exception of…

Hy guys,I just saw the new website and it looks good.And then I saw it....... the B744. I know you are all busy getting SU2 out the door. But I was wandering if all the final decissions are made about the 747? Because the information on the site tells me there won't be an ER, F and ERF model for it. Will those be added in some kind of addon or so?Regards,Gallie

Hi PMDG team,Thanks for a tremendous aircraft in your 737. Like everyone else, I look forward to your update, and find your customer service outstanding.My question is, is there any possibility that a "Save/Load panel state" feature can be implemented in a future release? One that would save all the panel switch positions, as well as the state of the FMC?I would really appreciate such a feature as I like to practice different scenarios and having this ability would make things much easier.Thanks in advance.Happy Holidays,Craig Keating

I LOVE the PMDG! I haven't been able to fly it because my MS Precision 2 broke :-(I will, however, be back to flying it primarily, especially after SU2! I mainly flew the PMDG before my joystick broke for that matter. No negativity towards the PMDG team or Beta testers here!!Chris

Active sky 2004 will have properly functioning weather radar when it is released. I know PMDG are thinking about it for the 737. So as you want to make sure you can do it properly if your going to do it at all, why don't you speak the the Active Sky people and see if they can help you?Thanks, Mark

Are there sources for downloadable flight plans in PMDG 737 format somewhere on the Web? I found some by Pete Pitman at Avsim, but I'm mostly interested in the US. NavData has some, but no US either. With all the flights we 737 pilots have been creating, there must be a place to upload them for others. Any suggestions??Ed Gates

A few days ago I've bought the PMDG 737 NG which is really a beautiful airplane! Soon SU2 will be here and I would like to ask you if the "mailinglist" contains all new customers? (Since the mailinglist (as I read) took quite some time to create).Thanks in advantageDavid Walschots

A friend commented that he couldn't enter long /lat entries into the FMC. Not the SID STAR files.I have had a play with it and some work and some don't (Not in database message). I have looked both at posts in this forum on the subject, and in the Bill Bulfer FMC Guide for help. The forum seems to suggest entering a 13 character code, whereas the FMC guide gives five character examples (Which work).The test I have been trying to do is enter TABLY (Near EGCC UK) into the FMC using long lat data. This is shown on the Honily SID if that helps.On the SID it is shown as 531619N 0022702W.My flightsim International settings are: Lat = Northern Long = WesternI would appreciate…

HelloI have been working through Tim Metzinger's tutorial, trying to get airborne. I get everything set up as described, and hit the TO/GA screw, the aircraft reaches Vr and I just get off the runway and the engines cut out, and I am rather uncerimoniously dumped back on the runway(if there is any left). If I anticipate this happening and press f3 I can climb and gain speed, if I then engage the autopilot and LNAV and then VNAV I am subjected to a rollercoaster ride where the engines race up to about 96% N1 then they drop back to around 52% and then race up to 96% again. Has anyone any idea what is wrong?BestDudley Brooke

The website looks very nice.I will only complain about the use of frames on the new website, which makes it impossible to store specific pages in favorites or go directly to pages with URL.Do you have no one to design your pages in SSI or PHP so you can have the header included on every page without the use of frames?

Gents- Speed tape now showing 45 on the ground! Also Navigation Display's runway symble corrected as two lines insted of one solid ;)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/52472.jpg[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/betaimg.jpg

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm looking forward to the new manuals as much as the aircraft! The wife is not real happy sometimes with my obsession with this plane. I just tell her to bring me a 7and7 and a pillow:),,yea,,right:)

Congrads on your new web site. Looks great. However, I noticed information about the 737-800/900 and a new announcement about the 747, but no information about the 737-BBJ. Please tell me you will still complete that version. I am looking forward to long flights from east US to Europe!Mike at RDU:-hmmm

Hi folks, great job on the new website! I noticed something though which I'd like you to clarify if possible.In the support section you mention the following, regarding the release of SU2:PMDG will contact each user privately with access to their user account. This email will be sent to the email address to which you registered your purchase originally. If you have changed your e-mail address since your purchase, please write an e-mail to [email protected]. **Be sure to include all purchase information, such as your full name, purchase date and Order ID.** I understand that your instructions to people who have changed their e-mail address were NOT to e-mail yo…

great news on su2 and the new site looks great!!!cant wait for that 744.callum

I'm a bit confused now. This has been asked before, but there seem to be different answers.Will the 'old' liveries (like the ones I made) be compatible with SU2?Robert Randazzo wrote: 'Even the liveries will change to make them compatible with the new version'And will the liveries that are not made by PMDG also be put on the homepage or will they remain on avsim?RegardsThomas

Sorry for the questions...but how can i do to load my flight plans ( i use Fs Build and FSNav.) into FMC of 737/600/700?Tnx a lot for the help!!Marco

Hi chaps,Will the notification email come from your normal 'support@' address ?If not, would it be possible to indicate what account the email would be coming from (just by provid ing the account name without your domain details, so the spam email trawlers don't pick it up)?I ask becuase, if you are not using the support@ address I will need to configure my spam blocking service to allow the email through and stop it sending a response back to your mail address (the support@ address is already added to my 'allowed' list.)It will also save me from having to wade through the deluge of daily blocked spam I receive, trying to find the notification.Many ThanksPaddy(Satchmo) H…

Kudo's on the site guys. Very nice indeed!

For those of us who have purchased the 600/700, do we have to buy the 800/900 when its released? Or is it just considered an update?Keith Yingling

FSHotseat brings your system to it's knees, and you want to watch DVD while flying? :DI'm all for a weather display on ND.
