Hi everyone, I have been interested in the 737NG product since it was first announced on flightsim.com. The website offers great insight into the product but I want to know if there is more than on that website. I was wondering if I could get screenshots of the wingviews, can you actually see spoilers deploying and flaps extending ect. I was very dissapointed in DFs 737 wing view. Can you move your eyepoint around, like say i want to sit on a row above the engine or a row behind the wing so i can watch spoilers and flaps, do i have that freedom? Also, where are more liveries?The only one I saw was the Southwest with winglets, and southwest dosent even have that part…

Hello, great product, and can't wait for the patch. This is the reason I am writing this post because I wanted to know if these outside visual problems will be fixed. 1. I noticed the slats go directly into full down position when extended one notch, this is not correct I do not know the exact degree but should only by about half for takeoff and full for landing, look at any pictures of airliners.net. This can be corrected easily just simple cfg edit.2. The slats move straight out and then curl down when fully extended, this animation is very wrong, should be a slow gradual slant and extending at the same time. This is a big flaw in my eyes when looking at the outside …

Hi all,has anyone tried Instant Replay in FS9 with the 737NG yet? If not, I thoroughly recommend it :). Here's what happened:Against my better judgement, I decided to take her for a quick spin around JFK, using Shift+Z and some not-so-educated guesses to compensate for the low gauge refresh rate, and I thought I managed a fairly respectable landing, considering the circumstances. So I wanted to have a look at it, and chose the default 60 seconds instant replay. To my surprise, it set me up at the departure runway, and started to replay the entire flight at warp speed. But it wasn't like standard accelerated time, more like alternating between 128x speed and normal rate. B…

I have the PMDG 737 installed into FS9. When I start FS9, a Fault Message "PMDGOptions.dll" appears. Can anybody help.Thomas

First of all congratulations on a great product.I have been following your development since the early years of Fly series products and always associated your 'brand' with sophisticated/comprehensive systems and excellent customer service.I have purchased your 737 product and enjoy it quite a lot.There are several issues though, that bother me much and I shall mention those that I could not find mentioned elsewhere in this forum.First of all, on all flights ending with instrument approach I see significant VOR/ILS offset. I have precautionally checked for proper IRU position entry prior to departure (should not matter anyway as it affect the lateral navigation only), as w…

Hello,I'm surprised that in this high level and high realistic "737 NG" I can't break take off before V1 if there is an emergency!!!If I press TO/GA or N1 during takeoff (like in the real life..) and I want to stop take off before the V1, I must close the thrust levers but..nothing appens!In the 767 PIC there is an option in Menu "Pic - Settings - Preferences": A/T inhibits manual throttle! If I don't chek this, I can close the thrust lever after 80 Knots and before V1 also if the A/T (N1) is engaged and aicraft stops!!!Can you add this feature in your next patch?Thank you,MirkoITALY

This is almost off-topic these days...but enjoy! Bugs or not, this bird is actually flying. Pic from between ENVA and ENBR :)

All,If any of you have XP are are considering converting from FAT32 to NTFS then please be aware you will invalidate your registration for the PMDG737. After doing this earlier this evening I couldn't then generate a Transfer Code so as things stand I'm awaiting support from the group.Security seems a little over-keen. :-( Cheers,

>Like most of the users in this newsgroup, I took PMDG at it's word. >Roberts initial acknowledgement of the errors seemed to embarrass >PMDG more than it irritated me.Frederick, I think it was more of a matter of disappointment both for themselves and on behalf of the users that a patch was needed. They didnt want to patch as much as people dont want to wait for one.As a bit of light relief whilst we wait though, with regard to embarassment and discomfort from software developers I can share a couple of quick stories. The first one goes to prove that no matter what you intend as a product it doesnt always work out the way you hoped!At the time I was the top sell…

Hi, problems aside, has anyone yet had a really memorable flight with the 737?A couple of nights ago I flew from Reno to LAX, with VATSIM, ActiveSKY running, and the Simflyers LAX scenery.Not only did the aircraft fly like a dream but landing at LAX (in SWA colours) and taxiing to the SWA stand with matching static aircraft made the whole thing a significant amount of fun and brought back fond memories of actual flights that I had flown into LAX. The only thing that was missing for me was that smell of aviation, that Starbucks coffee stand near the SWA gates and that long long walk to baggage reclaim (which I dont mind missing!).Im guessing that over the time period sinc…

Hi,In the directory Fs2002/FMCWP/NAVDATA I have the Airac304, but in the IDENT page of the FMC appears the Airac404.Why? Thank you veri muchFriendlyPaul

PMDG.......Please Understand Our Impatients....While FS9/2004 is a wonderful and most awesome new platform that will give us many hours of joy over the next two years you must understand we the USER are in a prediciment so while we are constantly checking the site for news of the the 737NG PATCH and its release frequently we certianly are not flying the NG, infact many of us arent flying any of our third party payware add-ons at all because of needed PATCHES. I guess if I could fly the PSS Airbus or the DF 737-400 I wouldnt be writting this post.I want you to take the time and get it right as do all of us NG USERS. I cannot understand Microsofts practices and why they don…

Everything works nicely in 2D, but as soon as I try to select a virtual cockpit version FS crashes. No probs with any other aircraft.System configuration:FS2002Intel P4 1.8G512MbNVidia ti4200oodles of disk space.Running GoFlight modules

Howdy,I personally think the PMDG 737 is great. I haven't been flying anything else since I got it!! Granted the $40 may be high, but all the liveries are free... I think it was worth it. The cockpit graphix are tops.Hope it helps, if you want screenshots - post me your e-mail address and I can help there.Bryan

hello:purcahsed the PMDG 737NG i must say it's excellent. however i'm having problems with the FMC every airport i enter gives me a 'not in database'. what's happenin there? ~tony

I'm not overly familiar with this display, not having seen it in action in flight....Can someone tell me when the PLAN centre should skip to the next active waypoint?For example, in the following screenshot, I have just passed XMC and NRE has become my active waypoint. Should there be a gradual transition, or a sudden jump?http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/737/Plan.gifOf interest, perhaps... Prior to IRS Alignment on our latest LCD display-equipped 747-400ER's, the aircraft symbol is shown as a small white circle with an X inside it.http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/744e...BeforeAlign.jpgThanks.Cheers.Ian.

Hi guys!Just wondering if you can tell us what are the two majors issues that are delaying the release of the patch.Sincerely, and like you said, I dont want a patch that needs to be repatched.Take your time and make every effort to deliver a final product with all the characteristics we are waiting for.If not possible to deliver for today, well the person who waits the much waits the little (I don

What's the procdure to unistall the 737 in FS9? do I have to do anything special? Or will deleting it from the windows explorer be enough? Thanks.

Hi,why dont you do two patches, one for FS2k2 and the next one with all for FS2k4? Many in Europe have not or cannot have bought FS9 yet.Another question of mine is, even I cannot buy it yet, can I share all of my FS2k2 addon scenery with FS2k4 and share or copy all GMAX aircrafts of FS2k2 with / to FS2k4? Could I keep the sceneries at the one FS2k2 partition and make up another partition only for FS2k4? Or would FS2k4 make new dat files for all my sceneries and FS2k2 would be unable to use these sceneries without creating new dat files? Do I have to copy about 40 GB of scenery to the new partition as soon I can buy FS2k4???Sorry being OT.

Fellow simmers,I have emailed this question to the support team at PMDG but I thought that in the mean time one of you may know the answer to this. I have the 737 installed on FS2002 and it works fine but I have just come to install it on FS2004 and i have a few problems. When I load 2004 a message comes up saying :ERROR FS9Flight Simulator has detected potentially incompatable aircraft or softwareFile PMDGOptions.DLLDo you want to load this software? Click no to disable this software.If I click no then the sim crashes to desktop. When I click yes it continues to load but when I come to selecting the 737 from the aircraft list I get this message:ERROR FS9Flight Simulat…

Any update on the 747-MCP compatibility? When could we expect the two products to be usable together?Thanks

Can anyone send me the Alaska Airlines Livery?This is my email: [email protected]!Thanx in advance!!!P.S.: What other liveries were released?
