On my first "commercial" 737TNG flight, I noticed the following unexpected behaviour....I was climbing using VNAV (in the flap acceleration segment) and waiting for the speed to build up. The airplane refused to accelerate past each green flap marker (on the MASI). I had to select the next flap setting to get the airplane to accelerate. Is this normal? (I expected my speed to be limited by placcarded flap speed limits, not flap maneouvering speeds).Other problems experienced:PFD Touch Down Zone on departure from YSSY was displayed at 350feet above sea level (Sydney's runways are no more than about 20'). The FMC Departure ICAO was entered in the FMC along with the rest of …

Ok I'm exhausted I can't get a flight plan to load in the FMC or the list of flight plans I have to even show up in the FMC. Ive exported them to the proper folder via the use of FS Build. When I fire up the program I dont' see a list. This is very fustrating as Ive read the manuals and don't see much on the FMC. "the extension for the saved route looks like this "KSTLKMCI.rte" Also the VSpeeds cant be obtained by entering in your weight and flap settings. Hitting the LSK's associated with the V'speeds does notta on my machine. Im showing VREF but no V speedsFustrated

Hello,I like not there! Sorry, where is Uninstall of PMDG? :-bluegrab Sebastian

Leferis, Andrew, Vangelis and the rest of the gang,Please, please post a list of bugs that have been identified and fixed. This has been asked for several times in the last week but no-one from PMDG has responded to this very legitimate request.Unless we know what has been fixed there's a real possibility that people will continue to report problems that you have already resolved. This just leads the forum being clogged with unnecessary messages.Can I suggest you make it a locked item please and update it as and when bugs are fixed?Many thanks,

Does anyone know how you can find out information on which airline have 737NG equipped with air stairs. Airliners.net is not always the best place to sift through all that so I was wondering if anyone knew how to find out which airlines have their 737 equipped with air stairs. Thank you! Slightly off topic but I wanna make my aircraft accurate when I add them to the sim.Jason

Why is there no airstairs on the 600 model , only at the 700.Im just curious to know the reason ./Fredrik

When I am in landing configuration and using the "Captain's view = A", I would like a quick way to turn off the autopilot and autothrottle when getting below 100 feet.. is there a keystroke or a cheat button on this panel that will accomplish this? Going to the main panel and mouse clickthe buttons takes too much time.. and the "Z" key seems to only partially disconnect..

OK, ...I'm sure this is operator error and I've missed a glaringly simple step in the manual or FAQ, but here goes anyway;I cannot get the AutoThrottle switch to arm. I'm sure that this worked the first few times I flew, but now the switch will simply not arm.I'm reading everything I can (even the manual ;) ), but keep in mind that I am still a complete novice at this.Any ideas/help are appreciated.Thanks in advance,Mark Titterington

Good Morning All,This morning I was flying from London Gatwick to Amsterdam and after a smooth take off I climbed into the clear skies over London.At 2,000ft I switched on Auto Pilot (VNAV & LNAV). While climbing the aircraft went into a stall. I switched off the autopilot and started a slight dive to re-again the speed.Then the aircraft started to climb again, and then lot speed! I noticed that LNAV kept on turning off, about ever minute, to a minute and a half...I carried on for 20 minutes, switching on and off and on auto thrust, auto pilot, everything - but nothing helped.Landed in EHAM and re started flight sim, and the problem with LNAV disengaging was no mor…

Hi PMDG Team!!!!!!First I like to thank you for making such a great a promising addon...and also for your non-stop efforts...And here's my question/suggestion... Do you plan adding customizable shortcuts for the panel's functions (U know, like PIC767, A320, etc...for autopilot engage,TOGA, etc...) in the Phase II(800/900)???I think it would be cool and very helpful for us sim-pilots...Thanx again...Fritz

Hi,I am enjoying the PMDG manual with my 737NG and am thirsting for more.I know of esscoaircraft.com for getting AOM/Flight manuals for all sorts of types (I have one for 727,737-300, 757/767), but they do not list the 737NG aircraft. Does anyone know where such a manual can be acquired?Thanks,Jeff

Dear PMDG guys....Would it be possible, in a future (distant) patch to improve the visibility of the A/P disconnect bar... in the disconnected position?This is what the real thing looks like....http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/737/APDiscBar.jpgThanks.Cheers.Ian.

Don't know if anybody else, have this problem...Yesterday I made a flight from KLAX to KSFO with my FULLY REGISTERED 737NG, with the usuals 'bugs' but OK for a quick 1 hour flight...Now today I want to launch FS2002 Pro and I can't ????The screen comes blank and nothing happends...if I open the Task Manager I see that FS2002 is idle??? without any CPU cycle???I tried to remove the FS2002.CFG file to generate a new one... nothing happends...FS2002 comes to normal and launch OK, ONLY if I remove the PMDGOptions.DLL of the Modules Folder...I can't launch FS2002 with the PMDGOptions.DLL so I can't generate a deregistration number if I want to install FS2002 again or change so…

Hello,I guess you guys are busy with the patch !? However, it would be great to have at least a timeline when we can expect the other liveries and the SID/STAR FB to be available.Thanks, jens

Hey guys, I'm thinkin' I'll buy the PMDG 737NG after the patch, but I haven't seen ONE picture of the virtual cockpit yet. Could someone please post a shot of that I'd really appreciate it a ton! Thanks guys!-Kellan

Directed mainly to Lefteris, just wondering if you may have found yet the source of the memory usage and is it fixable? Thanks

I have not yet purchased the package so I am basing this on pictured posted on the web.The package looks great an I intend to purchase the aircraft after the few minor issues have been fixed. What I don't like is the pilot's perspective. The panel looks too small. I see the same with Dreemfleet's 737 and Captain sim's 727. I like a nice big realistic cockpit where I get the feel of being behind the controls. In a real airliner the pilots perspective is rather limited. It just dosen't look realistic! Why don't you guys make the panel larger?? I would think people who purchase an aircraft like this does it because of it's complexity and realism and not to look at the scener…

Hi All,I've been lurking here for a few months now, so I'd thought I come out of the shadows :-batI've started writing some simple STARS but need a little help with the TEDDY2 leg shown below.What's the best way to define the FL290 crossing ALT 50NM East of HNK? Do I need to SLEW there, note LAT & LON and add that as a custom fix, or is there a more elegant way?Many thanks!

Hello mates, first of all good morning:), secondly I would like to know why dont the engines switch off when i cut the pumps from the over head panel? Is that what happens in a real 737. One reason i didn't, enjoy flying the DF 737 was of this issue that when i turn the pump switches off the enignes keep on producing thrust. Is this normal on a real 737? I have several packages on my shelve, and they all seem to have it that when i switch the pump off the engines will turn off, i think its logical no? Well thank you in advance:)LukeThe right flyer!!

Does anyone here know how you put airways into the FMC, if it's at all possible? Scott Stephen CYXE, Saskatoon

Hi,I use a second monitor on the same PC where I put most of my instruments. Very said to see that undocking is not what I expected1* A lot of waste space around the FMC, Radio, and Trottle.2* Not easy to undock, draging to another window results in a view without a panel. Are you guys going to change this in the update ?Thanks in advance John Boontjes

After saving a flight plan in the FMC does anyone know how to load one back in?Is it possible to load a flight plan from fs2002 or fsnavigator?Thanks.Kev Farrow.

Hey... Is there anyone hwo could send me their part of the Aircraft.cfg file from fltsim.0 to the Generals section Im having alot of livery problems the only one to show up is the Hamburg International livery... Others with the same problem?PMDG... Please make som "real" autoinstallers to the livery's because the autolivery installers don't match the nice airplaneRegards, Jacob Thomsen

G'Day everyoneIs anyone able to get onto the site?? Must be down for updates...My mate couldnt get on either. lolI was hoping to buy this thing tomorrow. If the site works!Cheers,Ryan

I intend to order a new graphics card later today.My budget is up to
