Hi everyone!I need someone to confirm this-1) Pick some random airplane and back up your panel.cfg file.2) Delete the contents of the Panel.cfg, and add this instead: alias=PMDG737-700/panel.3) Note your frames.4) Replace the edited panel.cfg with the original.5) Reload the plane, go back into FS, and note frames.6) Report both frames here.I stubled across this tonight by chance when I wanted to use the PMDG panel with the FFX 737-800. I experienced significantly lower frames with the PMDG panel than with the default 737-400 panel. I realize that their should be a difference since the PMDG is more complex, but I found a 10 frame-plus difference. This cannot be simply a…

Hi, I have too screens, one with the fmc completely dark and another one where the quantity of fuel doesnt appear, but I have still a lot of fuel to fly. DO you know why it happens?Coimbra

Hi...folks:First I want to thank PMDG for your great product....737NG. I have a question.In the 737NG Docm Folder, I can not see any file in this folder.Can it be downloaded from precision manuals web side ? I cant find it. sorry for this stupid question and thanks a lot.

Hi There,Will there be a TECAS upgrade for the NG700?Thanks, Boone

Hi,It is now 15 hours since I sent you the first registration mail. And still nothing back. :-hmmmI have mailed to Registration support aswell as to the regular support.Shouildn

Just curious how many times one can re-activate their license key for the 737. Most (including me) will only need to do it once or twice but some may need to do it more due to multiple OS reinstalls due to one reason or another. I ask due to the fiasco over at FSD (see the FSD msg on the MSFS forum). Apparently when buying an FSD aircraft, they only allow 2 license re-activations. Thanks

........T O L O W....TERRAIN........Is what I get no matter what airport I am flying into and when I am pegging the GS spot on as well as using the FMC...... Is there anything Im doing wrong.Thanks Randy Smith

Hi PMDG,I'm sure that this is a Boeing omission rather than a PMDG omission as it's on the MCP and I'm sure you'd have modeled all of that accurately. Does anyone know WHY it's not possible to arm LNAV/VNAV on the ground though? Actually it seems that I can arm HDG SEL but not LNAV or any pitch mode. I really miss this from the 767 PIC, it's quite annoying to have to break your scan to punch VNAV instead of just having it auto-engage at the right altitude. :) Just curious as to weather anyone has any insight into the "why" behind this choice since you used a lot of real boeing info in the creation of your NG. :)-Shaun

Hello PMDG-team,I can't select a waypoint if there are several waypoints with the same identifier. It seems that the FMC only displays the first page and I'm not able to select a second page. Yesterday I flew to EHAM and I wanted to select waypoint WP, but the right WP didn't show up on the FMC. Only some WP's miles away from Schiphol. I checked my navaid file in the FMCWP folder and I'm sure that the WP nearby Schiphol is in the navaid file.Is this a know item? or am I the first one who discovers this problem?regards,Jasper Rom :-wavehttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...tor=OD1&a=a.jpg

Hi.Before I buy, I think that it's great if I can use it for my homecockpit....but....I don't know if I do something wrong or not but pmdg 737 doesn't work with aerosoft mcp and/or Project magenta MCP.will it be compatible ??thanks and sorry for my english :-)byedaniele

Today I was flying MCO-ISP and while on approach to ISP I was using the spoilers to slow down a little but the only problem was when I went to retract them, they didn't fully retract, they were stuck. They were completely extended but about halfway up. Is this a flaw that PMDG knows about or was I doing something wrong. Can anyone help me fix this problem.Thanks,Daniel

Hi everyone,I am new to the PMDG client base and have just purchased the 737TNG - sounds great, but I can't get it started. I have downloaded all 4 required downloads and followed the installation process. I also downloaded the Lauda and Scandinavian liveries just to "have". Once I ran FS2002 (on windows2000 pro) and tried to select my new aircraft I kept on receiving the following error message, which I cannot get out of (hence I have to forcebly shut down FS). Also no liveries appear, just a silver aircraft, as well as only the Lauda Air option shows, not the Scandinavian...

Hey guys,I've been flying the bird for a while now and I've been experimenting something.It had come to my attention that time was not really reflected well on the clock you'll find in the approach view. PMDG has said they will put in a 'decent' clock but for now I have a solution for all persons who are owner of the 767PIC product.The good thing is that it fits in very well.(see pic, though in latest version it's more stretched on the Y-axis to furthermore cover the panel print. Just see the Screenie so you'll know what I'm talking about.http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21894.jpgUnfortunately I find it is not my right to publish parts of cfg's here as I think that woul…

I am trying to program in the PORTE3 departure out of KSFO (runway 01R) and came up with the attached KSFO.txt. I doubt it is entirely correct, and I cannot figure out how to tell it to follow the 350 radial from SFO until 4 miles DME.Anyways, here is what this procedure is drawing on the map at takeoff:http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21059.gifHere it is intercepting the 350 radial (sort of):http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21061.gifHere it is flying well past the 4 DME point, and looking at the LEGS page you can see the FMC has gotten very confused as to where this point is (6902nm away now). It looked OK at takeoff.http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21060.gifCan …

Anthony,Try this example. (see pics)Put manually the flightplan EGLL to EHAM, BPK-UR123-CLN-UL620-REDFA.Activated it, now in the LEGS page you will see DIDGO waypoint, press DEL and select DIDGO, the "Route Discontnuity" flag will show, press EXEC.Now comes the problem.... Select REDFA (LSK4) and press LSK3 to tell the FMC that after CLN go direct REDFA.... FS2002 will freeze (dont't crash), if I go to the Task Manager I see that FS2002.exe is sucking 99 % of the CPU, and have to terminate FS2002 via End Process.Hope this help to find a fix.http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21702.jpgRegards[table border=0 width="100%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing=0][tr bgcolor=0066CC][td …

When can we expect the rest of the -700 liveries? Weren't they supposed to be up around about now?

Hello there,First of all, congratulations for the great job done with this release from PMDG, whilist its still have some problems to be solved, i feel that PMDG is going to go throught that soon. :-rollMy question is about the Audio Selector Panel (ASP).- It hasn't been implemented yet, right?- What are the plans for the future?- There is a way to open/close NAV or COM audios without using the MSFS standard assignments?Best regards,Eduardo Tonetto

Captains-I have noticed questions about the 800/900 being asked over and over again- so I hope this brings some clarification-**737 The Next Generation 800/900 Add-on development has not yet begun****As such, pricing has not been determined, not even thought about****Our current focus is on the 600/700 base product and we will not start making new products until all major issues have been fixed**Once the patch has been released, and we feel that all outstanding issues have been adequately addressed, we will publish details on 800/900 add-on product development.I hope this answers your questions.Sincerely,

Anybody know what's the holdup on the release of the B737-700 liveries? Or at least a paint kit so I can paint my own. This base livery is nice, but not what I [email protected]

Ok what's going on??I loaded up the 737NG this morning and the first thing I was confronted with was a dialog box with "Invalid Machine Code". I clicked pass this the 737 loaded up with 3 banners across the cockpit. THIS IS A DEMO OR AN UNLICENCED VERSION.The 10 days is not up yet??I can see this registration is to complex and is causing legitimate owners frustration.What now?Andrew.

Hi, Just wondering if you received my registration mail earlier? How anoying to receive the "not valid or expired" message. ;-)Tried to uninstall before I got the validation key. :-( But apperantly I forgot to remove all files and Reg keys.....Happy landings,http://www.scandicair.com/images/SA_Banner4b.jpg

Is it possible to get a refund if you haven't registered the product yet?

Dear Gents and Kimberly,I just experienced the infamous inflight APU bottle discharge, immediately after I pressed "B" (in STD) mode, to see what the pressure was over the south of France. It discharged immediately.Any ideas whether this could be linked? Any other things that you've experienced which would appear to act as a catalyst in this problem?Hope you're all having a nice evening...Alex

How do you turn on the avionics other than CTL A?With altitude hold on, ILS selected, holding at 3000'msl, when the glideslope becomes active, the aircraft tries to climb to meet the glideslope indicator on the HSI/ADI. The aircraft ended up at 5000 feet and then began descent as the glideslope needle centered. I did have a flight plan active in the FMS. The specific airport was KATL, runway 27R, assigned 3000' with an intercept heading of 300.
