I've seen this a few time snow so I'll consider it a bug-I'll get autopilot indications that show empty capture boxes (no mode within the box showing) in both green and white- AFAIK, you sould only see them in green as that mode is being captured at the time, and should never show capture while armed.I also cannot manually select my cruise speed/alt If I enter .78/34000 I get an invalid entry error on the FMC. It only seems to support the manual entry of altitude or speed in knots, but not Mach.Tim

Can the auto pilot be driven by FS Nav or another external source??Bill M

I think I figured it out, for an interm fix anyways.do the following:Important, start APU up, just like normal, and set APU bleed to on. Start engines, and set there bleeds to on. Turn the engine generators to on(both sides). This will make the APU Gen Bus lights go on. Hit the APU gen buttons and prepare your plane. Once you are ready to start your plane, (this is the KEY) turn off the APU bleed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then move the APU power switch to off. Watch your EGT go to 0 like it is supposed to. Please note that this will take roughly 10+ seconds(not sure how long.....I am guessing):))))))))))))))Let me know if I am being an idiot and this isn't the solution......…

Nuff said.Kev.

After downloading the textures and running the auto installer, the AC don't show up in menu. I see the texture file in main AC file but there's no mention of it in the AC CFG file. What is or where is the proper procedures for installing textures?? Also where is the switch for turning on panel lights??Bill M

I just got this nice new product and wonder if I can change the size of your FMC. I would like to get it bigger and by that easier to read. Do you implement a "key access" function as known from other add-ons?thanks for your help!

We have determined that there is an installer error, which results in the link to the documentation in the Windows Programs menu being unusable.Until this is fixed, you can find the documentation here - FS2002/PMDG/737TNG/Doc_source/index.htm

Since whats happened with FSG on the General Forum, and the complicated system of downloading the PMDG 737 from your site, i ask if there will be a CD version of your 700 and 800, and what is your ETA in Australia?

Hello poeple I just writing here cuz' I have a big problem with 737, in the plane everything seems to be ok but the fmc(cdu) is not working the only thing I can see is a black screen in there, u can control the contrast and stuff but I can't input anything so the plane is kind of useless like that can someone help me out here how to fix this please. thank's in advance

For those of you that may be concerned:I made a backup of my NG aircraft.cfg file and then proceeded to load the aircraft with the ACLoader (http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=457) program.It worked like a charm and to be quite honest with you the aircraft performed better with the ACLoader than with the 737 load editor.ThanksWilson HinesUAL006|UPS1008|CX776--------------------------------------Proficiencies: PSS 747,777, A32x, CS 727---------------------------------------ActiveSky|FSRealTime|FSBuild2|FSNav|Jep SimCharts2---------------------------------------Athlon XP 2600+|Thermaltake Volcano 7+|Gigabyte GA-7VXP (rev1.1)|Geil PC3200 512MB|GeFarce T…

Hi PMDG (Anthony?),Apologies if this has already been raised but trying to find specific problems is quite difficult at the moment because of the sheer number of posts.On a flight from EGCC over to EHAM I noticed that during the descent the aircraft levelled off at 10,000ft in order for the airspeed to come back to 250kts. Once 250kts was achieved the descent continued but the problem was that the altitude for the next waypoint couldn't be achieved because of the temporary levelling off. The FMC displayed a message advising next waypoint altitude couldn't be achieved (or words to that effect).Given that I hadn't entered any manual altitudes for the remaining waypoints sho…

Hello...Ok, trying to fly from Majorca to London Gatwick, so I enter the followingLeft Tank > 8,629lbCentre Tank > 3,744lbRight Tank > 8,629lbTotal = 21,002Enough fuel to get me to Gatwick with some left to fly around with in case of delay. So I hit enter (on the

When can we expect this livery? Thanks

Hi PMDG,I have a question about the Takeoff page in the FMC. I expected to see speed settings for auto-throttle commands (TOGA -> CLB),etc. Does the NG not have these settings? I know that it's different to the B744 and B777.Thanks,Bruce.

Check the downloads section on our homepage for the Alaska Airlines livery.

Hello,I have noticed problems related to the FMC on a few other posts, but I thought that I would share my own findings.I am planning a flight between KATL and KMCO in the 737-600. I use the fs2002 flight planner to plan my flight (still stunned that the internal flight planner is not supported.. oh well). I go to the flightsmyflts folder and copy/paste my flight plan into the kneeboard so that I can use the FS2002 generated flight information to hand-enter into the PMDG 737-600 FMC (hand-entering is realistic, so I can hack it). The flight looks like this:[flightplan]title=KATL to KMCOdescription=KATL, KMCOtype=VFRroutetype=3cruising_altitude=19500departure_id=KATL, N…

On the Aloha 700 paint is the XA-something registration on the wings correct or a slip up?Kristoffer

Hi!I am getting a error message at FS startup about "FS2002 magvar data not found." This happens when your 737 is installed. FS then locks up.Can anyone tell me what i can do to solve this problem.RegardsBj

Hi all,I was wondering if all the gauges from the 2D panel are active from the VC. I know that clickable gauge will be for later, but for example, if I turn on the fuel pumps from the 2D panel, will the switches reflect the set position from the VC? what about the ND? are all pages displayed ? NAV, ILS, etcThank you in advanceRegardsJohn

Hi there!Made a Flight from LOWW to LPPT now, and here is my first statement to this Plane. Even if there are some horrible bugs in there, i am happy to own this plane, cause i

Just wondering when we might see the non-winglet SWA's? I'm not trying to rush anyone i was just wondering what the schedule is? Are you guys aiming for a few every day or every other day? ThanksJustin P.

The plane's been doing some weird things after flying around for several days. These problems seem to arise after I installed several liveries.(1) I cannot load up a plane from the main menu. When I get in FS02 I get a darkened screen in the VC with a small subscreen to the left. I then get a MS error message which gives me the option of going back to the desktop or FS02. I can, however, load the plane from a cold and dark which I had saved previously. Very curious. I reinstalled PMDG 737 (thus a new aircraft config. file with no liveries) but the problem persists. I am running nothing but MyTraffric and FSNavigator in the background. These latter are not the culprits as …

I've set failures to occur but they don't happen, ie: no warning or caution lights, knothing happens? What am I doing wrong? I have FS2K2 on winxp machine.Thanks,Rob

Guys,Hi. I have one question.I use a reduced ClB setting of 1 or 2 most of the timne. As I understand, once the a/c reaches an altitude of 15,000 feet in its climb, it reverts to full CLB setting. But on the EICAS it continues to show R-CLB.Any comments? Is it a mistake?Thanks and once again....LOVE THE 737 :)Dinshaw.

Good Afternoon / Morning / Evening guys and girls.I have just woken up (its nearly 16:00 here). Did not arrive back to EGKK until 05:45 this morning, not happy, we where late departing EGKK last night, turn around problems as per usual.I did speak to the first officer last night on my flight about PDMG's panel. He and some other friends from work are coming over tonight for a BBQ and I will get the full run down of what he thinks of it then and yes I will post the results ;)When he took a quick look at it last night, he did say it looks really good, a lot cleaner then most of the flight decks he has ever worked in :(Anyways better be off, will post again later.Hope you …
