PMDG General Forum

Hi guys, I like to fly with a friend together who own PMDG Airplanes as well. With the FSX Airplanes the Multiplayer Function is working fine. But of course these airplanes are crap. That's why we have you Multiplayer is working with your airplanes as well but the controls are not shareable. We have tested only the PMDG 737 NGX so far and there it is not working to share the controls. There is one guy you made so far a good job http://www.desk-pilot.com/ But not all functions couldn't be synced. 1. What I would like to know if it would be easier for you (as you did develop the airplanes so you know exactly how the codes are) to develop that the airp…

Today I received my extended download for the 777-200. Also coming from technical support says:All new downloads are fully up to date versions of the product in question and do not require any service updates as they are already integrated into the new installer. Thus, I guess don't have to download sp1, is that right ? Secondly do I still have to delete panel states and saved flights for the PMDG 777. Finally before installing the extended download, do I still have to delete my PMDG ngx, 600-700-800-900 Need help on these 3 questions. thanks, Ronny

Hi, Can anyone tell me the easiest way to change FSX ICAO codes to make them compatible with PMDG fmc database codes loaded from Navigraph. I use FS Commander as my flight planner and as you may know it gets its airport data from FSX. Unfortunately, since FSX is an old program, and since a few airports - notably African ones - have changed their airport ICAO codes, the PMDG fmc is unable to recognise the old ones. Thus any flight plan compiled in FS Commander and exported to PMDG will not be recognised. A typical example is Johannesburg which until 2012 used to be FAJS. Now it is FAOR. The only way I know to overcome this is to manually enter the plan int…

Dear PMDG TEAM, I tryed several times to contact the support regarding an expired download link for the PMDG 777 Basepack. The support sent me a new download link after i bought an extended downloadlink for a few euros. The link they sent me was just for the Extension Pack not for the Basepack that i requested. After I wrote several email regarding that issue i didnt get any answere! They just ignore me! It is not a good way to show how you care about your costumer. I paid a lot of money and even more for a produkt without a satisfying result. And btw how difficult can that be to send the right link!!!! I m waitng now a few weeks without beeing able to consum the …

Hi, I have all PMDG FS9 aircraft installed. As I have now bought iFly 737 and am going to buy iFly 747-400 v2 I would like to uninstall my PMDG B737 for fs9 and PMDG B740-400 for fs9. Is there any risk that my PMDG MD-11 will stop working (because some shared file will be removed during the uninstall process)? I have a vague memory that something like this could happen. But maybe that was a long time ago? I have searched for this and was not able to find the answer there. rgds Krister Renard Uppsala, Sweden

Hi I can't seem to be able to get the 3D cockpit. In the config page I set it to 8i, but no virtual cockpit. Only part of the cabin seen from behind. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance. John PS- On the B747 PMDG.

Hi Gentlemen! I am not a fundi in internet use but in spite of long scratching around on the PMDG site I cannot find where and how to re-download. I logged in with the correct e-mail address, order number, and the password. I purchased the said product 2005 and have been thoroughly enjoying since. I have bought a new PC and need a re-download. Please somebody out there help. Thanks Kind Regards Ken

I have integrated ROb's pushback and taxispeed gauge in all my panels as this makes pushback a much nice experience than slewing the plane. Howver, for some reason I have not managed to get that to work in the PMDG panels.Anyone succeeded?

Hi folks I myself am looking forward to the P3D release of the 777, but all in good time. No doubt I will also get the 744 when its released (i can kid myself that I wont need it alongside the 777, but lets be realistic here..... ) Anyway, i thought a nice way to break the angst amongst the impatient people might be to concentrate on what we will be doing with our sims until the day of release. Now is ther perfect time to learn something new about our simming - glass half full and all that! Personally, I have bought the C182 from A2A and am very much enjoying learning variable pitch prop flying. Once Ultimate Terrain X is out for P3D (any day now), I will pro…

I'm looking for, New style US Air Liveries. Is there one out there. Love to have one. Thanks.

a friend of mine wanted to send me PMDG 777 as a gift. But the problem was he wanted to download it himself and forward it to me. I received a message from him stating he had a hard time figuring out how is this done or if it is ever possible at all. He lives in Austria while i live in the United States. any idea if this is actually possible him purchasing the product and forwarding it to me? thanks

I am looking into getting the PMDG 747-8i. I have the disk version of the 747-400. Can I buy the -8i without having to buy the -400 again?

Captains- Tonight we have released another Service Pack for the 777 fleet. This update addresses some items that surfaced with the original SP1 update, and addresses some other various cleanup items that we wanted to tend to in the near term with the 777. This update brings some further refinements to the Autopilot Flight Director System, the Flight Management System, the Flight Control System, some changes to various other items that we felt might benefit from a bit of polish. It also brings further optimizations to the way in which the 777 uses information from the simulator in order to make it a bit more "bullet proof" against interference from outside applic…

Any word on anybody making high quality Gulfstream products? I currently work for a company that flies G550's and I would like fly the aircraft without having to spend a butt load of cash for certification and gaining years of experience before flying for my company.

I'm having trouble recently installing new liveries for the 777 and 737. The texture files appear in the models and the .cfg folders OK but do not appear on the aircraft list. This was working before. I don't know if I need to reinstall the Operations centre executive again or if the file has to be repaired. Any ideas. Ron

Ok, now before everyone goes flaming at me on how PMDG isn't going to do a 767, I know. But here me out. According to my knowledge Level D and PMDG are friends. and while that 767 is really good, from the graphics point of view its really not that great. So maybe (with Level Ds permission of course) PMDG could possibly spruce up the vc and make some nice repaints? It's just a suggestion, and I'd like to think of peoples thoughts about this.

Have a look at the latest Qantas 737-800NG's paint scheme. Can someone do it for the PMDG 737NGX, please? It looks very cool! http://www.airliners.net/photo/Qantas/Boeing-737-838/2536789/L/&sid=379a5604aca4f158c205c9807894b38b

Is it just me or are the download servers slow for PMDG? I'm in the midst of downloading the updates for the 777 and I'm getting speeds of 75KB/sec. Dan

Does the boxed version (only just available) need the SP1C upgrade installing, or is it already included?

Hi everyone.. I was just wondering when PMDG will bring out or start on the 787-Dreamliner? If it is already in plan or production, could somebody Link me to some news? Kind Regards Mehdi

Hi, I have, PMDG 777-200LR/F Base Package for FSX and PMDG 777-300ER Expansion Package for FSX But I didn't download on pmdg website. I'm getting a not "This URL has expired" Can you help me for this problem ?

I just jumped into my MD-11 and flew this evening and I noticed the Taxi/landing lights were weak and also about 200 feet way in front of the aircraft. ANy Ideas? The only thing new about my FSX install is REX 2.0Gary Trammell

Hello fellow pilots ^_^ We all know about that FSX is a great flight sim and it's still much used over there. But I've given a try to X-Plane 64 bits since a few weeks and after hours of hard work and patience, download of tons of Giga of HD Photo sceneries, it now looks great. There are about 4 major good liners for it (777/757 Pro, 747-800 and a 2D x737 freeware). I dreamed about PMDG gives a try to this sim. Not because X-Plane is better or not than FSX, but because it is 64 BITS !! So the great PMDG 777-200/300 landing at EGLL will not crash the sim after flying for hours from KJFK..... Any hope that one day my dreams come true ? :rolleyes:

hi everyone Im facing 2 problems since the latest service pack of the T7(sp1c). *the first one is that the auto thrust cant keep the speed on short finals it even drops to the yellow bar ( ive tested it almost 10 times in diffrent weather conditions ). *the second one is that when approaching 100-150ft agl, the the aircraft levels off (on manual flight and trim good) and i have to put a good amound of forword input to the yokes. now i assume that the t7 fbw system has a kind of flare mode but in this case it levels off at approx 100 ft agl where i sould be somewhere around 600-750 fpm Anybody having this kind of issues ? Maybe they are not issues and im…
