hi all,can you tell me if all the SIDs/Stars are available for the 737 as yet?>Similiar to the PSS Sid / Star database?thx!

On a descent I was coming close to level off so the A/T began to increase thrust. Coming from ARM, it first indicated RETARD for quite a while until finally when it was close to the thrust level for level flight it turned to MCP SPD. I don't think that's right.Leo Bakker

Here is a tip for those who like big, in your face instruments during take-off or landing.By editing the panel.cfg file in Notepad (make a backup copy first), you can increase the size of the pop-up avionics. By dragging them to the bottom of the screen, you can end up with a panel view that is very easy on the eyes! See attached picture. Best of all, the instruments click back to their original location with a single mouse-click..Here are the lines to be changed (from 400 to 480)://--------------------------------------------------------[Window11] // PFD Popupsize_mm=480,480 ...gauge00=PMDG_737NG_Main!EFISDisplay, 0,0,480,480,PFD POPUP//----------------------------…

My passengers and I are getting nauseas as my 737 bobs up and down during climb and descent. Is this related to the fuel imbalance bug? Have I screwed up the loading and my CG is in another zip code? The inability of the plane to find a climb/descent rate and hold it is eerily reminiscent of the Fly 777. We (me and my paying passengers) look forward to a little stability!:)BobP :)Win2K ProGW2K 2.0 gigtons of disk space256 meg mem

Hi Everyone,I just wanted to double check based on the other posts about taking the Aloha 737-700 to PHNL from KPHX or KSNA. Based on PMDG modeling the lower TOW, 133,000lbs on the -700, we can't get the plane to PHNL from KSNA and KPHX, correct? You would have to have an extremely low ZFW and almost 37K to 40K lbs of fuel to make it their, correct?Second question is that in the PMDG manual, the Takeoff Speeds are listed in KG. Is their a formula for transposing KG into LBS by chance? Or how do you read the KG correctly to correspond to pounds?Thanks for the help.Brian G

Hello!!Some days now I have repaintet Scandinavian Locost "Snowflake" textures...Since there is no PMDG Boeing 737-800 yet, i used PMDG 737-700 for that....And I have send a email til PMDG to ask for permission to upload to avsim or PMDG server....Hope that you guys like it:-) Truls Petter ElvenNorway:-)

1. I do not know how to start with a cold and dark cockpit?2. FMS-I can't get it to accept my POS on POS init.Thanks a ton!

with FSBuild 2.01? I'm still having problem with one half of the way points have a speed and altitude. 0.755/310. But I can't inter that speed. I can inter 315 but when I click one it, it changes back to 240.

I have searched the manuals but cannot fingd any runway limit / performance tables. Normally I would expect these to be with the other performance tables. How can we calculate take-off and landing runway requirements for dry, sea-level, std pressure etc. Can someone point in me the right direction?

Hi all,No problem for the first, but I have a problem with the second line :SIDSSID CIV1Y RNW 25 KEEP HDG UNTIL 6 FROM NAVAID GSY HDG 247 INTERCEPT RADIAL 123 FROM NAVAID CIV NAVAID CIVSID HUL1Y RNW 25 KEEP HDG UNTIL 6 FROM NAVAID GSY HDG 247 INTERCEPT RADIAL 227 FROM NAVAID HUL NAVAID HULENDSIDSThe FMC create a waypoint beyond HUL (+/- 50 nm from HUL) and return to HUL.An idea ? Thanks.

Hi PMDG guys!I know you're busy doing "stuff" with the patch, but it just crossed my mind, that there are a lot of messages in the forum, that carry a disappointed and sometimes angry tone.I just wanted to say that we do appreciate all the work you have already put into the bird, and also the fact that it didn't take you long to announce a patch. I'm confident that you will address all the issues that are "correctable" in the patch, and won't let us down.As flightsim veterans from other simulators you surely know that good things aren't free. There were high expectations about the NG, and now is the time to fulfill those. It might take a patch (or two?), but in the end I'…

I know this is a reported bug and will hopefully be fixed in the patch. But until then, I was wondering if anyone has found a workaround to prevent the firebottles discharging during flight?This has happened to me during every flight so far, during various stages of the flight... at cruise, in descent, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes after the aircraft is loaded. I can't seem to find a common denominator that triggers this.In any case if there is anyone else out there that has had this problem and has found a work around, I'd appreciate hearing from you.Thanks,

PMDG,The position of undocked panels is not being saved when saving a flight. I undocked the FMC, moved it to my 2nd monitor, resized it and saved the flight. On loading FS2002 and choosing the flight the undocked panel is positioned in the top-left of the primary monitor - not where I saved it on the 2nd monitor.I am able to save undocked panels on both default and other specialist aircraft such as the 767PIC so I should be able to do the same with the PMDG. Please confirm you will fix this in the forthcoming patch.Thanks,

Hi all, I know this is not a product support question but I couldn't find any e-mail address to ask my question. I would like to purchase one of your product PMDG (737-600/700) I wanted to ask you about the cockpit. is your cockpit is virtual 3D also, what I mean, when your are in virtual cockpit, do you have a working buttons. is it like this A320 pilot in command from wilcopub. can you play with cockpit button while you are in the 3D virtual cockpit. and also can you send me or post some 3D virtual cockpit, because you don't really have enough screen shots on your web side. thank you for your help, if you can not answer my questions please forward this request to who ca…

I dont what I did wrong, VNAV wont engage. I did my usual FMC pre-flight planning with entries for all the waypoints, cost index, OAT and performance/thrust profile. When I took off, I had no problem engaging LNAV at about 1000 ft. But VNAV wont engage. It always says UNABLE NEXT ALT. And yet the plane is climbing on its own, no LVL CHG nor V/S. Can someone spot my error?ThanksMichael TanCanberra http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/23800.jpg

I don't know if you noticed this during testing but the flap housings should hang BELOW the wing when they are extended, not INSIDE! ha ha, they're ghosts!

I tried to find the current Airac cycle, but PMDG was not an option as a supported aircraft.P4 1.8768 ram 80 gig hardriveVisiontek Ti4 4600CH yoke/pedalsElite Multi quadrant19" inch monitor-Soundblaster PCI 512Win XPInstrument rated ASEL -267 hoursAOPALawyerPilots Bar Association"Men without dreams are never free, twas thus this way and thus will ever be."

About uninstalling what would be the best way to uninstall MSFS without having to get a new key If I remove FS will I loose the key for the 737 Robert

Hi PMDG,I plan to install a new (hopefully good performing) ATI 9800 Pro within the next few nights. Do I simply un-register the 737, and then e-mail you the relevant details when I'm done installing- and does driver version changes (which I may tinker with for a while) also further require the re-registration process? Anything in the upcoming patch that I should wait for in doing this install?Thanks,Bruce.

Just wondering if anyone has done a Tutorial for this great plane yet. Would really be nice to have a tutorial from start-up to landing.

Gentlemen (and Ladies, of course!)-We've made LOTS of progress with the bug reports you are so kindly bringing our way! We wish to, first of all, THANK you for your patience. We've been working non-stop (16 to 18hr days in the past week on average), to get all the reports identified, your emails answered, and the bugs squashed.Frankly, your overwhelmingly warm response to our aircraft surprised us and left us inundated with all the purchase orders coming in and registration requests as well! We admit - we were a bit less than prepared to take down the HUGE demand we saw... We're flattered, but also REALLY exhausted by it! ;-)At this point, we're happy to report that we're…

Hi there Everybody,Testing is progressing extremely well and every flight brings anewed appreciation of what the PMDG team is putting together. I am amazed at just how brilliant this aircraft is. I know you're all waiting for cockpit shots, I'll post some of these very soon, for now here are some screenshots from a flight from La Guardia to Halifax International.Enjoy! ;-)Jerome Zimmermannhttp://www.netlogon.net/users/jeromez/pmdg...ng/mixed/01.jpghttp://www.netlogon.net/users/jeromez/pmdg...ng/mixed/02.jpghttp://www.netlogon.net/users/jeromez/pmdg...ng/mixed/03.jpghttp://www.netlogon.net/users/jeromez/pmdg...ng/mixed/04.jpghttp://www.netlogon.net/users/jeromez/pmdg...ng/…
