Hello all...I havent noticed any posts recently on the progress of the -900Any ideas? or do the folks at PMDG have any comments?I totally enjoy this aircraft... Thanks,Ted Panamarioff - Kodiak, Alaska

Hi Everyone,I'm running SU 1.1 and the latest STAR/SID database. Before I attempt a reinstall PMDG again, I wanted to check with anyone to see if they new of potential problems or fixes.My issue is that the plane dives to the ground, just prior to leveling off at cruise altitude. Coming up on 31,000 feet and WHAM, down we go at 8000ft per minute. I have LNAV and VNAV engaged.Has anyone else had this known issue and any advise on how to correct would be great? It's unflyable right now.Thanks very much,Brian

Was wondering if any of the painters could take this one on.Would be a nice addition to the PMDG fleet. The winglets were installed at CYVR in the Air Canada/ex Canadian Airlines Hanger. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/429485/L/ A beautiful looking aircraft. Thanks Chris

Hello GuysI was wondering if there is somebody planning to do a Swiss International Airlines repaint for the wonderful PMDG737NG? I know that Swiss has never owned a 737 and is not planning to buy them even if I think they should (The 737 is just the better plane in my opinion than the Embraer used by Swiss).So if somebody would do this repaint, I'd really appreciate that...Best regardsMartin :-waveMartin Pauli---------------------Martin Pauli @ [email protected]

Captains-We are still getting reports of wide inconsistencies in the fuel usage between tanks on the airplane, and some users still experiencing engine flamouts when the center tank fuel is exhausted.NEITHER OF THESE THINGS SHOULD BE HAPPENING!I've been trouble shooting this since early July and thought we had a good fix in place with SU1, but apparently that isn't the case.I've tried about 50 different variations to duplicate the flameout and have so far failed to duplicate....I HAVE been able to duplicate the excessive fuel usage from the right side tank but I haven't determined the cause yet.Here are some KNOWN CONDITIONS that each of you should be aware of:1) If the A…

I have been using real world flight plans for SWA 737NG. A couple of flights have entries that look like this:DCA266 and one like this CWK040.My question is where on the route page would I enter this so I dont get the not in database error message. I have tried the right and left lsk.Thanks for any helpAndrew

Hello,I believe the Radio and Baro selectors are part of the same knob that you just turn around (Lower knob), then with the upper knob you select the altitude.Will you fix this for SU2. If I'm not mistaken?Here are 2 shots at night.BARO:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/41924.jpgRADIO:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/41925.jpgAs you can see, in the Radio pic you can see 2 black lines, where there should only be 1 pointing at the RADIO setting.

Hi,Is there a way to enter a waypoint in the LEGS page of the FMC with their latitude/longitude coordonates ?ex : N5948.1/E03015.4 like 767PIC (and i think it's the same format without the "/" for 320 PSS)I didn't find any mention of this type of waypoint in the documentation and several tries give NOT IN DATABASE or INVALID ENTRY message...Emmanuel

Hi friends,i really dislike default FS2004 pushback engine.So, as most of you surely do i'm using FS2k2 pushback/taxispeed combo gauge (i did a small panel edit using FSPanel Studio).Now my question: is there a way to get back those pushback voices i could ear during 2k2 days?Or a way to make (LAGO) FSAssist pushback FS2004 compatible?Thanks in advance for helping.Luigi ;-)

Just flying from EFHK to EGLL, the flightplan has been created with FSBuild 2.1.During CRZ, I refiled my FP for FL340 - in order to do that, I disengaged VNAV, set FL340 in FMC, set FL340 in MCP and tried to renable VNAV, but got the error msg "check MCP alt" - ok, this is the known problem I thought, let's continue with LNAV...Looking at the map (see attachment), I find myself drifting away from the plotted course (about 10 NM), although LNAV is enabled - ATC even asked me to correct it. I disabled LNAV, got back on the plotted course and enabled it again: LNAV directed a turn off the course.Looks like either the export frm FSBuild didn't work correctly or LNAV has a pro…

Hello,I discovered a fuel system bug while enroute to LICC.With all fuel pumps ON, the center fuel thank became empty and suddenly right engine shutted down in spite of left and right fuel thanks were full.Is this normal?

Had a few good flights since upgrading with the service packs. One of the original problems was that engine 2 would 'die' when the main fuel tank became empty. Well, it happened again last night and no matter what I tried it would not restart. I had plenty of fuel in the wing tanks.anyone else had this happen?Alan

Pete-Great job with the repaints-Any chance you could do a freight livery like ups orfedex for us people who like to fly late at night ?Maybe dirty it up a bit....Thanks for any consideration....Dave ColavecchioKOXC

Can someone tell me if they can repaint the 737 PMDG bird in "new" TWA colors before I purchase it? It looks like a great plane and I fly for www.fly-twva.com Thankshttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/40711.jpg

Randy,A bit off topic but is there a way now to turn off the interior cockpit lights in VC mode at night? It is very bright at night in VC mode. Thanks.

Hi all,Since few days, here's the approach speed displayed in the FMC approach page :15

Heads up to ATI users, the catalyst 3.8 drivers have been released with a mention of FS2004 in the fixed list. I havn't tried them yet, still downloading, but fingers crossed.Paul ( SPIM )

is there any chance mac paint ,that you can do an old british airways livery plane for us brits ,and is the bmi baby plane coming out with the new su2 patch , thank you martin

Anyone come across this.As I'm carrying out my sim. pre flight exterior, the port engine casing suddenly slid apart revealing the interior. I zoomed in to get a better look and they slid back together. Managed to get a shot of it tho' - see attached. Bud

Replacing the front logo and darkening the door frames is all that's left for this livery.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/41953.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/41954.jpg:-spacecraft

Hello,I'm having a hard time making a single ch. or autoland approach and need to find what I'm doing wrong.

Greetings,I have almost finished my Aer Lingus version, although they never had -700's I have painted it as a -500 series which they are currently operating.Regards,Niall O'Reilly

I have read the genious FMC tutorial by Timothy Metzinger, but maybe I have missed an important point.I think I enter everything correctly in the FMC before take-off. But after take-off, the FMC limits the speed to below 180 KIAS, and then slows down the aircraft to about 130 KIAS. At the same time, the aircraft climbs too slowly, at about 100 ft. pr. minute, making ATC yell at me. The aircraft is close to stall and crash.I would like to climb at about 2500 ft. pr. minute at 250 KIAS. How do I make FMC give me a proper climb?Thanks in advance for any help.Nico

Hello kind simmers and PMDG,I seriously need a FMC tutorial for dummies, or a complete idiot's guide to FMC.I have been reading the ultra short tutorial provided by PMDG. Can somebody explain how to do the following:"Enter your current position into the RSK5. If you are unaware of the coordinates, use the reference airport function by entering the ICAO code of the airport and then copying/pasting the line of coordinates that appears. Now press RSK6 to get to the route."How in the world do I copy/paste, and from where??? I really don't understand it at all. And I never gets anything that even comes close to the illustration next to the tutorial text.Where can I find a more…
