Urgent: I may have to call FAA if PMDG's Radio Panels are not secured properly! :-)Panel fastener slots should all be aligned, top to bottom, not at angles (If the fastener slot is at an angle, the fastener has not been secured properly and the affected panel may leap out of the pedestal/overhead panel at unexpected times and hit the pilot in the head!).I've ticked the most correct fastener position in the diagram below....http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/737/...elFasteners.jpgEasy graphics fix, perhaps?Thanks.Cheers.Ian "Trivia" R.P.S. Exceptions on fastener slot angle can be found on 767 EFIS control panels (more trivia).

Hi,It has been a LOOONG time since I've done a repaint and I've found good tutorials (www.freeflightdesign.com) on how to repaint for FS2002/FS2004, but I have this question about the paintkits:once I've worked up the left and right sides using 700_full_right and 700_full_left, what is a good method to get them into pmdg_700_fuse_t?I am using PSP 8.0.Any suggestions?Thank you,Jeff

Just wondering if the DUAL BLEED annunciation logic will be fixed up in SU2? (It's been mentioned before)The DUAL BLEED light is not illuminating with APU bleed valve open (APU ON and APU bleed selected ON) and:1. Engine 1 Bleed selected ON (engine switched off)2. Engine 2 Bleed selected ON and Isolation Valve Open (engine switched off)The (real) aircraft logic is based on main engine bleed switch position, rather than actual engine bleed pressure. Wiring schematic available on request ;-)Also, I'm sometimes getting DUAL BLEED light illumination even though APU bleed is selected OFF. This is a possible sign that the APU bleed valve is still open (if the Eng Bleed Valve SW…

Hey guys I had two questions:1st: I just bought the nice looking 737NG and patched it and now cannot extend my registration. There is nothing that says how many days I have left and when I click extend registration nothing happens... Could someone please help out.Also some testimonial to how great this sim is, I am forking over the $$ for a new motherboard/cpu/ram to run this baby at decent fps. I was thinking about a PIV 3.06Ghz or 3Ghz with hyperthreading and 800 FSB. I also was gonna get 512 PC3200 RAM, with all this and my GeForce4 Ti4200 128mb vid card should I be ok as far as FPS go? FS9 win XP. Any recomendations???ThanksBilly

Dear Robert,Tomorrow ie., August 15th is Independence Day in India. So how about the Jet Airways Livery as a present for all us Indian simmers?? Hehehe.....or is this pushing it too much?? :-hah :-hah :-hahLol,Dinshaw.

I have been flying this beauty for about 2 weeks now. I really like to taxi with it too. Unfortunately I hit a buildingsometimes or have a runway incursion (dont tell the FAA). I believe a real 737 can be turned on a dime by using the hand wheel.Is there maybe a key command other than differential brakingthat reduces the radius of turns?David

Hi, PMDG-er's....I'm having trouble understanding the operation of the Baro/Radio Mins controls.... I thought they would operate like they do on a 747-400 (newer type) or 777, but this doesn't seem to be the case.Firstly, you can set some ridiculous Radio Minimums values.... e.g. 7000'. Considering that the max range of the Radio Altimeters is just over 2500', this surely has to be wrong???On my last test flight, when aircraft was approaching a number of Baro Minimum settings (from above), the Baro mins cursor on the altitude tape was already amber and turned to green when the aircraft descended through the minimum altitude... Shouldn't it be the other way around?I recall…

HELP ME PLEASE!!! :-yellow1I'm just started to learn how to create SID/STARS for 737... It's not a problem to do it inserting FIXes. But in my example (image below) I can't create correct SID (red). I started to write this line:RNW 25R RNW 25L KEEP HDG UNTIL 1030 NOT BEFORE 1 FROM NAVAID MR HDG... And how to finish it? Aircraft has to fly rwy heading climbing 1030ft till 1nm to MR and then must turn to the right heading 116. But how to do it??? If I inserting this line:RNW 25L NAVAID MR NAVAID BP plane turns to the left x( Can somebody help me?THANKShttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/30749.jpg

Hello all,Sorry if this has been discussed already but I have been away for a month or so......I seem to be having a few problems with my auto throttle.I depart from a airport - since I have no SID/STAR data, I engage Auto Pilot then fly the SID via co-ordinates (used to doing that from flying the 747-200 ;-)), but when it comes to using the auto throttle, it seems to just not work. There is movement in N1% but it only moves a small amount (5-10% N1) over time. I am becoming near a stall since it is giving me such low thrust.I have tried this a few times, using LVL CHG, selecting manual rate of climb and simply just using auto throttle on its own to see what happens and n…

A short question and I hope a short and clear answer. Will I on the PMDG downloadpage be able to find and donwnload the SID-STARS to my 737 NG, and if so, WHEN ? Regards Ole

About ever 15-20 seconds I get a slight stutter with the engine sound. Just about 1/2 second of silence which is enough to be a little annoying. I just upgrades from a AMD 1.6 GHZ to a P4 3.0 GHZ with 512 MB RAM. Didn't happen on my slower system so I'm assuming its some kind of driver or configuration issue. Using onboard sound system that looks like is by SoundMax. I've made sure to be using latest sound drivers.Any ideas?Matt

I just noticed something odd - in 2004, the trim indicator on the pedestal moves incredibly fast compared to 2002 - it jumps several numbers with just one press of the button on my joystick...Anyone else seeing this?Ryan

I noticed that I do not get a wind arrow and speed readout on the ND when I am sitting on the runway although there is actual wind (checked by hitting Shift + Z (German keyboard)). Once I am airborne and have some altitude I get the arrow and speed. Anyone else havingthat prob and is there a sollution? David P.EDDW

I made a new folder named PMG_737 in documents and unzipped the setup.exe and copied the WO2-4 into it. The WO2-4 came as data files and I could only transfer them from main documents to PMG_737 by copy rather than extract. So, I have all four files in the same folder. I then ran setup.exe and got the message to insert disk#2Did I screw up by simehow not extracting the WO2-4? if so, how do I do that?. Otherise, how can I get this plane installed?Jim [email protected]

I read that the use of Manual Stab Trim (column switches) should trip off the A/P on a 737NG. It does on most Boeings, but, depending on what the A/P was doing at the time e.g. Autolanding, and the type of trim used, it may not. Does the NG trim have similar if's and's or but's?Does the NG have the old fashioned hand-driven Stab trim system... and would this trip off the A/P if used?Thanks.Cheers.Ian.P.S. Also, should I be able to, say, in cruise, switch from A/P A to A/P B simply by pushing A/P B switch. I thought it would have been necessary to disconnect A before pushing B? (Or is this not like other Boeings?)

Firstly, PMDG team, thanks for fixing up the EICAS Hydraulic Indications when using the Elec Hydraulic pumps (with SU1)... and all the other stuff, including the FPV :-)Just one more problem with the Elec Hyd Pumps... They don't appear to be doing anything other than providing pressure indications. E.g. On the ground with the engines switched off and the Elec Hydraulic pumps ON, powered by either External Power or APU Gen Power, I can't get the flaps to move. It might annoy the cargo loaders if I had to start up the engines just to inspect the flaps (say, after a birdstrike). BTW, I hear that the new Gibralta scenery adds circling seagulls, so you never know when you migh…

Hi,Please can i know if the engine view from the VC for the 700 seriies has been fixed in the last update as it was incomplete when viewed from the VC?

Hi, Until last week I had a this configuration:Athlon 2100 XPAsus A7 V333512 DDR 333Geforce 2 GTS/PRO - 64 MBNow, I have this one:Athlon 2500 XPAsus A7V8X-X1024 DDR 333Radeon 9600 ProSTRANGE!!!!! I have the same fram rate with FS 2002 and I have less frame rate with FS 2004. Specially using PMDG we can notice that since it is a heavy aircraft in frame rates.The question is: what to do about this. ThanksCoimbra

Whenever I engage the autothrottles on the PDMG 737NG, the airspeed returns to zero knots and the airplane enters a stall. Can anyone shed light on what to do to use the autothrottles?

I would like to request that the PMDG menu item not appear when in other aircraft as it is inappropriate. Besides, is it consuming any resources in this mode?I know that PIC's menu is only visible when in PIC (if so configured).Lee Hetherington (KBED)

Is there going to be a fuel planner for the 737 series?Andrew
