ok i probably didn't choose the best name but i have a sister with cerebral paulsy paul so i can assure you that it was'nt intended in the way that some seemed to take it! it's kind of a shame that people automatically think you're having a go.lol anyway i guess i'll change it.good news on the ryanair repaint by the way!come on SU2 that will be a week tomorrow the notice went up!!!!callum.

Me and some other people brought this up before about the 737NG loosing it's tracking on final. Now i have a great explanation of the problem that i have. Today i was on a flight from KBHM-KBWI i was on final for ILS33L i pressed (APP)mode as the glideslope came alive, i was flying at a speed of 180Kts i slowed to 151Kts my i was about 10Miles out then suddenly the airplane started climing and the airspeed started going up the autothrottle suddenly was not working and this message appeared (GPWS)in yellow in one of the CRT's. Usually when this happens i turn off all automation and i start flying the approach completly on manual.I Will Be Waiting For Some Feedbacks. Randy …

Greetings!Warning: I've had nearly 24 hours of experience with the PMDG 737, so if any of you think I don't know what I'm talking about ... you're probably right! :}Seriously, I just purchased and installed this aircraft and so far I'm extremely impressed. What a difference between this and the stock MSFS 737 I'm used to. It's obviously going to take me a while (and a lot of reading) to fullly become comfortable flying her, but I've taken her up already on a couple very short flights and now have a few initial questions. Perhaps one of you can give me a little guidance.First, a "non-flight" question. How do you extend the outside stairs? I'm guessing that you must sel…

Hi all,I need an original 737-700 no winglets pmdg cfg file. I copied over mine by mistake. Thanks, [email protected], Do the failure settings function correctly now our is it in the next update?Thanks,Rob

This is my first problem with the 737. I am currently in flight from ATL-BOS AirTran style. No matter how much fuel I load, the FMC comes back the the Insufficent Fule error. I thought this strange b/c I've never had this problem before. Could it be the AirTran livery? b/c this is the first flight I've done with it. That's all I can think of! Thanks for a great aircraft! I'm sure you don't hear that enough.

Changing company - my present email adress will be deleted. Where and how to report new email adress to PMDG for SU2 download?Thanks eker :-) waiting..... and waiting.... :-)

Hi, i know it would be a fictional livery until the release of the -800 series but after SU2 is out is there anyone out there that would attempt a ryanair livery for the -600/-700??As far as i'm aware there's currently none floating around.Thanks

I decided (like many other's I'm sure) to upgrade my computer a bit towards FS9. Namely for getting FPS up with those sweet PMDG gauges. Personally for several reasons I went the overclocking method. It also kept me busy while waiting for SU2._____OVERCLOCKING IS NOT RECOMMENDED, DANGEROUS, CAN VOID WARRANTIES AND DAMAGE NERVES._____Because I was able to play with various speeds and different settings I was able to clearly see what gave MSFS with PMDG's gauges the most increase (for me anyway). __ system specs __AMD 2200+ 9.5x207 1960mhzThermaltake Volcano 12 CPU cooler1 gig KINGSTON HYPERX PC3200ATI 9700 PRO 12880 gig 133ATA 8mg cache HDabit A7n8x rev 2.02 21 inch C…

hifor some reason my menues of PMDG not working....not style not faliures.. even not the ABOUT!WHY?

O.K., I guess this is a bit off topic, but I have a small question:On Sunday I took my 737NG from LFPG to EGLL. After landing on runway 09L I didn't know whether I should exit the runway on the left or on the right side. I decided to take the right side, but then I was told to go to a gate on the other (left) side, so I had to cross the runway.I did the flight again yesterday, and after landing I thought "Ah, this time I'll exit on the left side". But then I was told to go to a gate on the right side.x( How am I supposed to know on which side I should exit the runway?And how is it in real life?RegardsThomas

I found these shots and thought it was a cool way of viewing the glass cockpit. Can this be done? Let me know!http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=1223...D%3D&static=yeshttp://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=2153...D%3D&static=yesBrad Zimmer

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a list of fixes, additions, etc. that the upcoming service update will address?Thanks,A1C Jeff SmithUSAF

Hello!When selecting APU on and turnng off engines everything lokks out fine.After approxametly 5minutes my instrumentpanel goes black.What can I do to remain the APU gen working correctly after shutting off the engines.When grnd power is avaliable I choose this.But still my instrument panel and FMC goes black after 5minutes.I read manuals and didnt find anything.I think I am doing as told in the manuals.Is there some switch/manouver I miss here?Thanx for all answers../Artur

I have just realsied that since purchasing the 737NG I have not registered and as such will not get an email advising me of the link to download the SU2 update.I went into the Registration page and filled out most details. When I got to the last item I opened FS9 but cannot find the details I need to complete the registration.What do I do from here?Andy B

Maybe i'm completely oblivious. But i've looked everwhere on the panel and I cannot find how to engage TOGA mode? Where is this button. I must be missing something. Can someone point out on a picture where exactly it is.Thanks,Jon

I had to do an inflight restart after a flameout, but once I had power back I could not engage A/T. The switch kept flipping to off. How do I engage A/T?Dave Fisher

Let me say first that this post isn't made in any ways to bash anyone repainting PMDG's aircraft, you guys are doing a great job and are contributing to make PMDG a success.I am wondering why some repaints appears blurry when the side of the airframe is viewed at a certain angle, yet this doesn't happens on all of the repaints. Is this something related to the way my computer is set up or is it related to the way the textures were designed? Thanks a bunch.Here's what i mean.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/52012.jpgNick.

Well, while we all PATIENTLY wait for the fabulous upcoming SU2 for our Boeing PMDG737's, have any of you been reading about Boeing's troubles in the real world? This link, entitled "How Boeing Blew It" provides a sad tale of a once great company, gone bad or going bad through unfortunate business decisions and practices: http://slate.msn.com/id/2092031/ I once asked my daughter, recently an aeronautical engineering intern for Boeing Satellite in Santa Monica, CA, whether or not she would ever consider working for Boeing satellite after graduation and she smiled and said, "No way daddy" and proceeded to tell me about Boeing's generally bad relationsh…

On approach to KIAH tonight in Houston, I was told to:"expect vectors to RWY 15L Approach sidestep RWY 15R"What does that mean? Thanks everyone!Chris

I was wanting to know what the best sound settings are.Like how loud the engines are supposed to be and the cockpit. the nav ect ect.

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what settings they use in FSUIPC to get the most realistic experience. I have FSUIPC, but am not sure if I have it configured correctly. What are some opinions that people feel are good? Or is it good right after the installation with no tweaking? Im talking flight control, clouds, ect...thanks!Brad Zimmer, counting down the days, maybe hours, till SU2!

I am just letting every owner of the 737 NG that I am going to soon release a new airline paint. Hapag-Lloyd. Don't ask me how to pronounce that.... anyway I thought it was a pretty paint job so I did my Real First aircaft paint job. I will post some pics of the real one and the one I have done. I need to tweak some thngs here and ther but it all should be done sometime within the next two weeks. Also with this, for all of you VC pilots.. I have also repainted the inside acording to photos taken from a real 737 Hapag-Lloyd cockpit. Like I said look for posts of the paint job soon. And PLEASE remember this is my first attempt, so it more then likley will not be perfect...

Hi PMDG!Great news about SU2! Thanks for all your efforts!One suggestion for the -800/900 release...Joel DeYoung will provide informations how to make transponder gauges compitable with SB3, to change Transponder Modes (Stby, TA/RA etc.) in the cockpit, which will than change the SB Mode as well. This would be a really great improvement for all of us who are on VATSIM. Are you planning to include this feature in a future release? Would be great!BTW - Send you an E-Mail about two weeks ago.. Asked for permission if i may upload some B737NG SOP (made from real books) to AVSIM, but did never got an response to this... I am allowed to upload them?Thanks for your efforts and f…

I see everyone using the NG locks their framerates at 20... even on supercomputers like P2.8s... I only have a 1.5, yet still have bursting frame rates of 30 in the 2D panel... with fluctuations down to 12.. on my Radeon 9700 PRO. Locking at 20, it still looks jerky to me and I still so no advantage whatsoever.Can someone convince me that I too should lock my framerates? As I have used FS9 through beta testing etc... I was floored MS wanted us to always lock it, seems like an excuse for less than fluid FR - not like the smooth ones we used to get in 2002. I have tried it all over and over... and still think leaving it unlimted is better.. yet, please tell me as a new NG c…
