If there is a mode change in the FMA there is a so called "mode change highlight symbol" drawn around each mode annunciation for a period of 10 seconds after each engagement. Well, the word engagement is important here, since armed modes are by definition never engaged as such. So the white rectangles that are shown around armed modes when they appear or disappear is incorrect. I verified this in a 737-800 full motion sim.Leo Bakker

Dear PMDG,Quick question; When will You release the norwegian Braathens Boeing 737-700 livery?Thank you,

Hi all this may have already been suggested, but here goes anyway. When you start to get slow FPS, whilst using this great bird I have found that all you need to do is, just click on another window or your taks bar so that FS2002 lose's focus, then click back on the FS2002 window and you will see your FPS shoot stright back to normal.Weird but works for me.Jason

I am missing the Yaw damper gauge on the main panel. There is only a black whole where the gauge should be. Did I miss something when downloading/installing the package? I this is the case, could you suply me with the missing gauge?

I have done a lot of flights with your nice aircraft the last couple of days and I think VNAV performance (among all other things of course :) ) is impressing. There is one issue though: When passing SPD/Mach transition at FL260 (altimeter set at standard 29.92) the V/s indication on the PFD suddenly decreases from about 2000 to 1500, the pitch reduces remarkedly. After a few seconds, V/S increases again to about 2500 and the aircraft continoues climbing to CRZ alt. My question is wether it is possible to smoothen the transition somewhat. (BTW, wind direction and speed is not changing significantly while passing FL260) at SPD/Mach trans altitude I would rather expect a g…

I would like to ask where the overhead light switches are. The usual place above the EMER SIGN switch is emtpy. The panel light switch is also missing.

Hi,I am missing the OPT/MAX altitude calculation on CRZ page of the FMC. Your FMC seems to be the first one compared with the other high-end add-ons to MS FS which is not capable of calculating these values. This is slightly irritating for flight planing purposes.My question therefor is: will you add this function with you upcoming patch or do we have to wait a longer time for this important FMC function?

When I try to create the correct SIDs for EDDP in the EDDP.txt File from the SIDsNStars folder, i experience the following Problem:Departing from RWY08 at EDDP on the galma2c dept-route says:On runway track to LND 2 DME or 1000', whichever is later....I would make the SID in txt-file:SID GALMA2C.08 RNW 08 FIX RW08 418 HDG 084 UNTIL 1000 NOTBEFORE 2 FROM NAVAID LND ....But it always says..."Error at "NOTBEFORE" line...."Any hint for me?ThanksArt

Does anyone know the format or indeed the possibilities of adding a leg in the FMC using coordinates i.e E3310.2w0322.03 or something like that. I tried the same format as the Dreamfleet FMC but it would not except it.Thanks.Kev.

Hi,I have 2 questions relating the functionality of the FMC.1. When the NAV display is in plan mode (set via MCP), one should be able to browse through all waypoints, one by one. I thought this was done by pressing the PREV/NEXT page buttons (only when in plan mode).But the NEXT/PREV buttons show the next previous page.How can I browse through each waypoint?2. Select DEP pageWhen I have loaded/activated an excisitng flightplan via the CO ROUTE LSK, and I subsequently press the DEP/ARR button, I should be able to select the DEP runway and SID. However when going into the DEPARTURES page it is completely blank :http://www.scandva.org/upload/fmc-dep.gifHere I should be able …

Hi there....Will the Display Unit selectors (the two selectors above the PFD en ND) and de MFD selector (the one above the MFD which say" engine - system) work with the -800/-900 version?? So you can see this:http://www.airliners.net/open.file/220851/M/And the engine display tlike this:http://www.airliners.net/open.file/182945/M/And will the lower display near the throttle console work???Keep up the good work,Jeffrey van Luit

Thank you all for helping me to install the 737NG.....bob

Hi,as no siss /qtars are currently available fot PMDG 737 beside the dozen on the navdata site,is it possible to use those from 767PIC?If yes ,should i import the file in the PMDG sid/star folder?Thanks for a great product.Olivier

I am trying to install the 737, the install starts off fine but thena window pops up saying "Place installation disk #2 into floppy driveand press ok". My question is what installation disk is it talking about? What am I supposed to do? Thanks for any help Gary

This is the email I sent to [email protected] I figure I should get an anwser by tommorow but I'll post it here too BTW anyone have this problem also? ---------------------------------------------------------------------hi,Ive been having strange problems with fs2002 and it all started after I reinstalled Windows ME, that time I was able to unregister/ transfer my key. Shortly after I re-registered my copy of the pmdg 737 I started getting this weird error when ever I started fs2002 "Fs2002 could not read or initialize the MAG Var data, you will be using 0.0 magnetic variations" then fs2002 loaded normally after that. Now as soon as I loaded the pmdg 737 I …

Hello there,First off all, congratulations for the great job.- When the ASP (Audio Selector Panel) will be implemented in the 737NG??I hope soon, as by now we have no "correct" way to open/close navs and marker sounds.Best Regards,Eduardo Tonetto Becker

Can somebody tell me what private directory this is to be installed in...Thanks bob

Hi guysHave been fiddeling with the SID/STAR text files for a while and was trying to come up with a way of doing fly-over waypoints. But I can't seem to succeed. Is there anyone who knows how to do a fly-over waypoint?Also why doesn't this SID work? It's a SID from ESSA. SA705 and SA707 are fly-over wpts:SID RESN1G RNW 19R NAVAID SA705 KEEP HDG INTERCEPT RADIAL 060 FROM NAVAID SA706 NAVAID SA706 NAVAID SA707 KEEP HDG INTERCEPT RADIAL 193 TO NAVAID SA855 NAVAID SA855 NAVAID RESNA 19000Attached are three pics of how it looks on the CDU and on the ND:

At the risk of sounding/being impatient:-jumpy :-jumpy I am curious when you all anticipate the release of the Alaska Air livery? Regards,Ted Panamarioff - Kodiak, Alaska

Hello, I am the Vice President Of Corp Communications for United Virtual Airlines (http://virtual.united.com). It is my job to be the public relations and brand management "go to" guy for the public.I was curious as to know whether anybody has decided to paint a 737 for United as of yet and if so would they be willing to work directly with us on the project. United Airlines (real world) has approved of our operations and we have the "Brand Manual" to go by when it comes to graphics on anything from stationary to liveries. We are also approved by Star Alliance to develop a Virtual Star Alliance counterpart and we are in the middle of site design at this time. We also h…

I haven't seen this one posted yet so here goes.Switch to Spot Plane View. Press SHIFT-6 to open the FMS.No Problem.Go back to cockpit view.Click F to open the FMSWill not open.Click on View, Cockpit, check mark beside the CDU, but not able to open from here either. Clicking the second CDU opens fine.Back to Spot Plane view.Press SHIFT-6FMS opens fine.Anyone else able to duplicate this?

In the 737 600/700 product specification, it says there is a virtual cabin. If there is, how do you access it?

It would be nice if the following items change their initial state when entering the cold and dark cockpit:Probe heaters OFF; after start itemEngine cutoff switches OFFOther issues I noticed:Before putting ground power online and selecting the AC source, it shows 70 amps AC (?) should read zero.Selecting the electric hydraulic pumps after engine start does not always extinguish the yaw damper light.Fuel consumption logic does not reflect reality. Center tank should be used first with all pumps on.It would be nice to have the unscheduled descent light implemented(easy to program)Where is the CWS?All and ALL and VERRRYY nice product.Willem
