Hi all,I'm noticing that when I try and enter data into the FMC - pretty much anywhere - All I get are squares and weird characters. Everything else about the plane is fine. AP works, all overhead components, etc. I just can't use the FMC...Any ideas? (see attachment)Thanks!Chris [email protected]

Can someone that have smooth movements when taxing and landing with a similar sys to this: P4 2.2 512 RAM GF4 TI4800 post their gfx settings? It would be very appreciated.

Hi there,I'm wondering how to get the cabin view. I have installed active camera but really don't have any idea what's next...Who can help me out???Thx,John

One anomaly that I am experiencing is that the

All,I had made an earlier posting for NVIDIA owners on drivers and how they may be able to improve performance by adjusting the versions (trying different ones). Probably back on page 7 by now!Shortly thereafter, another posting appeared on Virtual Memory settings. Well, after combining the two theories together, I have combined my frame rates.I wanted to leave one last remark on helping your systems out:I moved to the 40.41 driver for nVidia and also followed the other posting on letting Windows manage my VMM settings. 44.03 was death to my GPU. I was skeptical on the latter but the results were shocking. I am steady at 20 where it

This is the order I programmed it - in case it's wrong and my fault.Enter Dep. ICAO, and Dest. ICAO, go to DEP/ARR page, select runway and SID. Then to RTE page, select NEXT PAGE to get the route itself, and here's the thing, after the final fix in the SID, there is a ROUTE DISCONTINUITY. Is this right?AlexEDIT: Incidentally, I can get to what I considered correct by pressing DELETE and then the R LSK beside the five boxes above the discontinuity.

I have tried clicking the "IN - HPA" switch but I can't get my pressure in milibars. Is this really not implemented? I assume I must be doing something wrong.Here's a list of my "observations":Firstly I also experience the fictional "Insufficient Fuel" message, and have generally noticed the FMC annunciator lighting up when the fmc has no error message on of it's own, i.e. false alarms - is this my mis-operation? I too experience the apparent lack of pitot heat, the VNAV dive, the inability to move or delete RWXX waypoints in the LEGS page (same with fixes created on the FIX page I've heard).The lines on the ND are also very bizarre sometimes - I know that's not per th…

I posted a message here last nighthttp://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...ic_id=7452#7469.... regarding the above error I get in FS whenever I attempt to load the PMDG B737NG. The error is in a box "PMDGOption", then once I move on to attempt to load the plane I bet "Your PMDG license is invalid or expired".I did get a key this morning from PMDG Registration(thanks). I see that I have to have the PMDG plane loaded in FS to register, however on loading the PMDG 73NG (after the above error mesages) I get the "Invalid Machine Code" error when attempting to access the registration pulldown. I can't get to the screen that accepts the registration key. Should I un-inst…

Is it my imagination, or does the rudder of the 737 not move at all in the visual model? It is certainly working from a functional (yaw & steering) point of view.Graeme

I cannot engage the autopilot during climb. For sure I am doing something wrong....but what? Can anyone help?Kip

PMDG congratulations for a great plane!Having ridden in the cockpit of the real 737-700NG (not as a pilot!!!) for more than 30 times, the resemblance and adherence to procedures and ops is excellent despite some really minor issues which I am confident they will be addressed soon. Being just a PC simmer (no real life flying experience etc.) and with a mere knowledge of other commercial FS aircraft packages (767PIC, DF737, PSS) it was really "piece of cake" setting the whole thing in operation, programming the FMC etc. and settting to flight with no hassle at all. Therefore, I find some complaints and "hard-line" verdicts quite unjustified.Two short FMC-related questions:1…

OK for any of you that have found out how to work the VC I am asking you to PLEASE jot down here a list of buttons to puch in order, how to enter waypoints, set up the autopilot. Everything to be able to make a flight from one point to another. Using standard navagational points (VOR's etc). I will very much appreciate it and I think alot of others will to. If this has already been explained in another part of the forum I apoligize because I did not see it.

Hello PDMG Team.Thanks for an oustanding product and the same goes for the very will organized and quick support.There are two things I would be happy if they could answered:1. When do you plan to release the paint kit? Is it easy to use layer style?2. Who painted the Air Berlin livery? With the greatest respect to his/her work, I have to inform you, that the dark red Air Berlin color choosen for the 737-700 livery is much to brite.In detail it is: to much magenta, to bright, to red.In reality this color looks different, its darker. I would be willing to correct the color myself. Is it possible to recieve the original files so I could work in layers and only change the co…

Hi Robert:Just wanted to thank you for your kind email in response to my problem that I was having with your purchase. I do appreciate your kind assistance, which helped me resolve it. Thanks again for helping me and also to you and your team for making such a great product. Your can be very proud of your product.Charles

HiI've followed the instructions regarding the operation of the airstairs, but the assignment corresponds to the one of the flaps,of course reassigning didn't help, it simply changed the assignment (dahh), so could someone give me an exemple of a key assignment and correspondig action that work's with you? Thank's a lot!Jos

Hello Guys & Girls,You know when you select a name for your airline to be called for Air Traffic Control, for example British Airways = Speedbird.I am using PDMG's Boeing 737 series 700 in Easy Jets livery, however when I enter their name under callsign Easy, FS does not know it, so I just get called by the number and not the name.Is there any way off adding the call sign? Does anyone know how to do it?Thanks for your helpKimberly

Hi guy's!!Can anyone explain this one to me? Twice now enroute at FL300 the stall light suddenly come's on without warning and the airplane roll's into a spin to the left. All this happens in less than 2 second's. The flight controls don't respond to recovery input even after I disengage the AP. I have the AP engaged LNAV set to my next waypoint FD and AT are on with the speed set and VNAV is off each time this stall/spin occurs. What am I doing wrong here?Angel

Hi gents,first of all concrats to this great product and to your support! During the test of my NAVData Cycle 0307 i have found a bug in the FMC, or i (as a user) make something wrong.Here is the test-scenery:LOWW to LSZHRoute: SITNI UL856 KPT L856 NEGRAOk, when you try to enter KPT on the RTE-page (from SITNI via UL856) the FMC say "INVALID ENTRY", try you enter NEGRA all is ok and but on the LEGS-page KPT is missing. I have look into the NAVDatas and the route is definied as:UL856 001 DJL 47.270778 005.097333UL856 002 DERAK 47.296389 005.465278UL856 003 PENDU 47.348889 006.032778UL856 004 MOROK 47.396667 006.655556UL856 005 ABARI 47.415483 006.941350UL856 006 HOC 47.466…

To all those still awaiting Registration codes that sent emails to [email protected]. Unfortunately my Cable/Internet provider has been kind enough to crash my internet access from home. I have been lucky to be able to stay connected for much longer than about 15 minutes without losing service for up to an hour at a time so the registration email is falling behind. They have given me no ETR for when it might be fixed. I hope to back online tonight and start pounding through them. If you are one of the few who are locked out of the 10 day trial please indicate so in the header of your email and I will try to get you going so you can enjoy your purchase…

Thanks PDMG for making this excellent add-on.I have a problem to enter te highway's. After selecting the Sid and Rw and then heading to the second page in RTE I see : Left side the SID Right side the end of the SIDI have no input box to fill in my highway on the left side only a direct to on the right sideThere is also "route discontinuity" in my screen.I tried several routes... but no highway entriesWho knows this problem ?John Boontjes

Good Morning,I am programming a flight from EGKK to LGRP (Rhodes). However when I enter EGKK onto the RTE screen on the FMC I getEGKK err: DVR33 unknownThen when I enter LGRP I getLGRP err: D282M unknownI thought it was just a bug so I continued to enter the 'legs' of the flight, which where accepted with out a problem. When I went to enter the departure runway however, the FMC said that EGKK has no runways and the same with LGRP, no runways at all.I have not changed anything, apart from added the SID/STARS last night, could this had caused the problem?It

Hi Guys,Congrats on a really incredible airplane.I have searched and cannot seem to find the wing views or how to navigate past the front galley. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Shane Lewis

Hi there,I have the problem, that I can

Hi,anyone out there who could tell whether in 737NG all switches, knobs, etc. can be assigned to keystrokes?Can results be read and displayed via homecockpit hardware??ThanksPeter

HiI use WideView (http://www.wideview.it/) which requires FS installations on seperate PC's (together with any add-ons).Will the current licensing scheme allow me to run the 737-software on my networked PC's or will I have to buy a seperate license for each PC?--J
