PMDG General Forum

I noticed a few areas in the VC that have some "see through" areas.I have sent Vin a few pics to illustrate thier locations.:)

I saw a post that said something like you get a 10 days grace to license the 737NG. Does this mean theres a chance that a demo version might be released using this 10 days as a trial. I have the PMDG 757 for Fly 2 and I'm sure the 737 is just as impressive however I have know idea if my system would cope with the 737 or I need to wait untill I upgrade my PC again. A demo version would help me find out.David G

I sent a request for the registration key on friday, but I still haven't got it. Should I send a new reguest or just wait?Marius

What will be the process be in adding PMDGs 737NG to FS2004 for those of us who are now flying it in 2002. Will we need to get a new KEY or can we simply copy the 737 folders over to the FS2004 directory without launching a EXE file.ThanksRandall Smith

Hi,Does anybody knows how to turn off the flood lights on the main panel and leave the backlights on?

I noticed last evening that when the panel goes from the day to night illumination, on the O/H panel, the fuel x-feed selector knob is open. During the day light it is closed.So what is happening, when the day to night, or night to day, panel change occurs the x-feed selector knob is being changed with the transition. Closed day, open night.Anyone else have this, did not see a thread related to it.Can not put this one down. :9Thanks,Jay_____________________________________________________________________

Why is it when I undock any of the pop up panels, I get a large black border of unused black space around popup?? Is there a way to minimze the amount of space around the pop up? Also when I resize any of the pop ups there's a 30 sec pause where nothing operates. wht is that. Is the AC compadible with daul monitors??Bill M

Just wanted to pass along a site that has some informative and technical information on the 737 NG Series. In addition, in the links section, there is a link to Leading Edge Libraries, a source that has an EXCELLENT reference to the 737 Classic and NG FMS. I have purchased this guide and it contains EVERTHING you ever wanted to know about the 737 FMS computer. Since PMDG's FMS is so true to life, this guide will be an excellent reference for us simmers seeking the most realism!Visit: http://www.b737.org.uk/Aaron

The manuals were suppose to come out on the 7th,can we have a quick update please?I know you are busy with all the other problems but it would be nice to have a manual for this aircraft. Jeff Gerbert

In real life there are 4 screens, in PMDG's cockpit, there are only 3... Maersk, Southwest and Hamburg Int. is only using three screens, and the fourth is black.. BUT.. PMDG have "Maersk configurasjon" on the engine display screen, and normal configurasjon on the other two... Those two configs can't be mixed! So this panel is not realistic................. I'll include two pictures from airliners.net so you'll see what I mean... I love this aircraft, but I was a little disappointed when I saw this.. He who wrote this have expirience with the 737-NG...I might ask, is this going to be fixed? http://www.airliners.net/open.file/352927/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/26…

Hi! I.ve done a reinstall and suddenly my 737 doesn't establish correct on the localizer. I've done two flights and both with the same result. Coming in 1.5 dot to the right. On the pfd I have indication of capture. Anyone else seen this? If so, any solution?

Just a couple of quick things I've come across with the FMC. I did not see these posted elsewhere, so if this is a repeat posting I appologize.1 - Clicking Delete and selecting the LSK by the RWY entry on the LEGS page causes FS to hang.2 - I don't seem to be able to enter a missed approach point on the legs page. I was trying to enter an intersection after the RWY entry on the LEGS page. Entered the valid intersection in the scratchpad and clicked the empty LSK beneath the RWY entry. Nothing happened.Despite the problems that have turned up I enjoy flying this aircraft and I look forward to the patch.Thanks!

Hi,ive read, that pmdg has a file that i can control the autopilot via the mcp from aerosoft australia.where can i find the file???can anyone give me the link.thanksMark

I just got to the computer today and I was going fly the NG. Now when I load up the NG I get this " Somehow, there are too many users running this PMDG product on this machine. Please contact PMDG support." I reboote the computer and the message went away and all seems fine.Should I be concerned about this?Thanks

Good Afternoon All,Been looking at PMDG's great aircraft and I have noticed something. On their Boeing 737-600 Air Europa & Boeing 737-700nof WestJet the cabin lighting is controlled by the Landing Lights being switched on & off.When the landing lights are switched on, the cabin lights come on and the landing lights are switched off, the cabin lights go off.This is totally unrealistic! Normally when the landing lights come on (for take off or landing) the cabin lights are dimmed! NOT turned on!Is there anyway of getting around this simple programming error?Kind RegardsKimberly

Hi,Just would like to thank PMDG for an excellent support while solving my registration problems.Robert have shown a great patiance with our mail correspondance. Finally I got the 737NG working as it should.To solve the low framerates while in exterior view, I unchecked the "Reflection" option. This gave me around 10 fps extra. The dynamic shine is still there. So no need for the reflections. Now I have steady 25 fps in 2D panel view, 15 - 18 in VC and 25 fps in exterior view. You can see my specs below. And I have almost all sliders maxed out exept the cloud density 40, and scenery very dense.Thanks again PMDG, and I hope that the pending patch will be great.Unfortunatel…

Looking better and better!

Can anyone explain to me why the 737 wants to climb to the GS indicator while in CMD APP mode? I experienced this issue at both Tampa and Atlanta airport. Aircraft climbed from approach altitude to about 5000 feet until the GS indicator was centered and then began a normal descent.

Just noticed it on the -600 model.If you look at the door at night and have the lights on you can see the light inside the cabin bleed through around the edges of the door.**(I can post a screenshot if needed, just ask)**Haven't noticed this on the -700 model though.On a side note, I bought the aircraft very early this morning and have already received my License Key. The Aircraft is nothing short of BEAUTIFUL..I can't wait till shes all patched up so I can do some serious flying with her...I've always wanted to know how an FMC works on a 737. :)Thanks PMDG for the great aircraft!!Shane

Now what is wrong now. I programmed everything like in the tutorial, LNAV and VNAV is engaged and seem to work, but the Plane does not decent. I had to disconect VNAV and decent manually. So what did I do wrong?CheersUwe

did I miss something in the install where is the 737 load editor.Robert

Has anyone been able to turn off the fire test alarmand what about the wing light/tail/anti collision -600 -700 mismatchRobert

Will the manual/POH include a comprehensive tutorial with a flight using the FMC as well as one without.ThanksRandall Smith

On the POS INIT 1/3 page, how do I enter the IRS position?If I put KJFK in as REF AIRPORT, I get a bogus lat/lon of N40

Hi GuysHere goes a few questions before we have the manual to consult.1) When trying to reach levels above FL370 (for instance FL390) the aircraft will level off at FL370 every time. This happens in full FMC VNAV mode.2) Is it possible to change the color of the font in the FMC? If I recall corrrectly, the color should be green IRL.3) During approach I get a "VREF NOT SELECTED" in the FMC, and I get a "Caution terrain" callout when approaching the field. This happens in full approach configuration (speed 180kias, flaps 5, >2500ft).4) In the "PERF" page under the field for selection of flightlevels the first numbers is preconfigurated to FL350. What does this mean?Thank…
