PMDG General Forum

Just wanted to purchase the expansion pack for the 737ngx but can not login, just wondering if that is being worked on and if so a redirect to "we are updating page would be nice" if not someone needs to fix that; I needs me jet. :smile: .

I can find no PMDG documentation on these buttons and what they actually do? Even the manuals that came with my 8-900 do not show these buttons on the MCP pictures, or talk about them.Am I not looking in the right place...or did I miss something. My forum search resulted in many talking about them not working as they thought they should, or only working in certain models. Not much good for me as I have no idea what they are :( . Where can I find info on how they (the PMDG ones, not RW) work? Thanks. Vic

Hello, I recently had to reformat my PC after getting a virus. My url's for the 747 and 777 are passed their date. Am I seriously expected to by these products again?

Greetings & Happy Holidays, I recently had to re-install Windows 7 (64 bit) and FSX on my computer. Right now, I have minimal installation with the follow FSX items: 1. FSX, SP1 & SP2 (started FSX after each installation) 2. Go-Flight GFconfig 2.24 build 4 3. Go-Flight PMDG Interface 4. ActiveSky Next SP1 Build 5410 5. PMDG NGX 800/900 & 600/700, both 3219 SP1c update 6. PMDG B777-200 & -300 Expansion pack, both with SP1c update I followed the PMDG B777 Introduction document to configure FSX.cfg and internal FSX settings. Here is the problem. I start FSX using the Free Flight option to load my PMDG aircraft and departure airport. FS…

Hi, In the NGX and the 777 I am trying to assign a keyboard command to the transponder knob. Then I want to bind the keyboard command to the engine knob my Saitek switch panel. I can't find an option to set a keyboard command for this in the FMC. The reason I want one is because the workload when entering/exiting the runway is extremely high, especially when flying online. And having to exit the runway correctly while simultaneously point TrackIR to the correct spots in the cockpit to click the correct knobs and switches can be very bothersome. I would be a much easier for me to just flip a few switches on my Saitek panel, and then turn the knob to move the transponder k…

Hi it my dads birthday on sunday dose anyone know if its possible to buy a download pmgd aircraft for some one as a birthday presant & have the plane registered to the recipient for product support etc. Tim :huh:

Well, what have you got for us, PMDG?

Hello guys, I'm brand new here and I was looking for some advice. I've been an off and on FSX simmer for a while now, but I haven't played the simulator in years. I'm just getting back into it and looking to spend some money. The only thing I've purchased so far was the PMDG 777-200 base plus 300ER expansion. I also bought Ground Services X. After flying the aircraft I think I made the wrong purchase as I may be a bit different in terms of what I find fun. I know most of you are saying "but the PMDG 777 is the greatest thing since sliced bread! How could you not like it ?!" The fact is that the things I look for in an aircraft are this: 1. Panel…

I still haven't bought the 777 yet, but I will as soon as I get home. My phone is kinda terrible at browsing AVSIM. Can anyone point me to an official thread or reply that states the non-ER -200 will be made someday? It was/is the only thing holding me back from purchasing.

Hello Again and happy 2015 in advance. I am now 99% done at happy with the new paint job. I have 1 nagging issue remaining, which ones again I can't find anything for on the web. Using the PMDG base model for the .DDS template, I am sitting with several windows on either side of the plane at the front and back that are either greyed out, or has reflective glass but you still can't see into the cabin. I tried using a mask layer for the respective windows, R2, R44, R45, L42 and L43, and even tried deleting the window blanks themselves. No change. Does anybody know how to fix this? Please. Kind Regards Hentie Loots

I recently bought FSX Steam Edition only to find out products from PMDG, Aerosoft ECT: Dont work, will PMDG be supporting this version of FSX for the MDG Products in the near future ?. I have read in places that PMDG havce refused to update installers for the Steam Edition and only support the Disk version of FSX. is this true or are you looking to support the steam edition? Many thanks, Sean

Hello everyone. I truly hope someone can help, as I am at the end of my rope. I scoured the internet and can find absolutely no information on this, the PMDG Paint Kit tutorials on Youtube shows how to do everything except for how to paint the decals for the equipment. I do it the same as with all other .PSD and .DDS files, but keep ending up with only the the parts of the decal showing where the "PMDG" letters were on the template. I even created layer from background and erased the PMDG logo, but it makes no difference... PLEEAASSE HEEELP... "sob" "sob" "sob" The documentation that comes with the Paint Kit doesn't even mention the equipment decal file. …

Hi, I saw once a pilot with an app for his smartphone where you could put in those numbers from the metar and it would tell you the icy conditions for that runway. Anyone who knows it ? for instance R04L/420161 Thanks Michael Moe

For some reason when I loaded up my NGX today it asked for an activation code. When attempting to log in to the PMDG site to access the code at displays a "web page is not available" message. Is this a known issue or is it user error on my part Thanks. Bryan Lee

Hello i'm trying to reinstall my 737 and it tells me that i have reached my max number of activations, can someone on the PMDG staff let me know how i get this reset please Thank you JHo

Do PMDG products purchased from Aerosoft qualify for the same support and service packs as those purchased direct from PMDG? Thanks

I have been simming since 2002 but are just now getting into VATSIM. How many of you fly the NGX on VATSIM? Of course it will not be the first AC I fly bit I have seen on some forums that there are some issues with the detailed add-ons such as PMDG produces flying with VATSIM. Any help would be appreciated.

Kind PMDG Team, as a Xmas gift, I was aiming to buy a bunch of your products (777LR/F+777-300; 747-400X+747-8i), so I went to your website and placed them into the shopping cart. But, when I clicked the 'Checkout' button, an 'error 404-Page not found' was displayed. I repeated the steps several times but no luck. Is there something wrong I'm doing, or is there something wrong with your servers/online shop? Thanks so far......

Merry Christmas all! Hope everyone is having a good time - maybe even fitting in a sneaky flight... Quick question for any of those in the know - some of my landings recently have been somewhat, firm, I would say. I was wondering if it was possible to set up a save game/panel state with either the 777 or 737 (I'm better at the 737 at the moment) on short final, so I can practice my landing technique... Any suggestions how I would go about doing this? Is it just a case of doing a save game in FSX and then saving an associated panel state at that time? Ideally - so I can just reload and try again. Also - any nice tips on perfecting that landing (and any s…

Hi, When i try and install a livery the manager program just crashes. Any fixes? Regards Declan

Just curious, there are times when I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling due to some problem or other, and I'd just like to know. Patrick Boynton

Hi Folks, during my T7F world tour I yesterday landed at CYUL, Montreal/Canada (tour leg: CYYC-CYUL). I must say that it was (by chance) one of the "most surprising" approaches/landings I have ever experienced in my FS livetime: :blink: CYUL, ILS24L, 2014-12-25, 20:15Z (16:15 LT) overhead SLOKA @ 3000ft (using ASN historical weather) I just recapitulated this scenario twice from scratch with a left hand traffic pattern 24L/24L via CYHU in order to make sure that these conditions are reproducible. AND: they are! B) Forget A/T and AUTOLAND. They both "might fail", so you "perhaps" have to make it all manual... I can highly recommend this scenario for t…

After use of the 'top-hat' while in VC view, what is the best way to reset the 2D view to where it should be? Any constructive advise welcome.
