PMDG General Forum

Might be a stupid question,but does anybody know where i can find a fuel planner or a fuel chart for the 737NG-6,7,8,9 series.Thanks...BOB

Hi PMDGI have posted a few observations already in the aircraft issues thread, however I understand there are too many issues listed in there to have each and every answered by the developers. I am looking forward to the announced patch - and also the 800/900 release later on. From the experience I gained purchasing the 737NG, I have full confidence in purchasing your future products in the NG line.I see you are releasing only a few of the -700 liveries currently. From screenshots posted here in the forum quite some time ago, I observed and read that the MALEV livery for the -700 was completed. Might it be possible to post the livery, or know when it will be posted? I wil…

My plane has lighting problem with virtual cockpit, virtual cabin and logo light . When I start FS2002 in night ,it don't have anything happen with logo light ,virtual cockpit and virtual cabin it still dark although I try turn on all lightingswitch . I think someone help me thank you :)

1 - How to do a direct to?2 - It seems that the FMC doesn't indicate Optimal and max cruise level in CRZ page. Am I missing something?3 - It seems also that the step to it isn't available3 - What it is the proper way of introducing coordinates in LEG page?4 - The following FP gave me an error:LPMA EGJJSNT UN741 NTS UA25 DINAfter introducing NTS couldn't include UA25 in the RTE pageThanksJos

looks like you are on a winner here, but for future development of your 800 series, it is possible to get some second officer voices in the cockpit?damn that would really be awesome and add to the whole 737 experience,by voices i mean, takeoff checklists, after takeoff checklist, landing checklist etc etc, it doesnt matter if they are generic, i suppose something better than nothing.:-jumpy :-jumpy

Hi Team!Just to say thanks for this great product. Flew my 1st line flight tonight after spending a few hours over the last few days 'training' and it went without hitch. I flew EGCC (Manchester, UK) to LCPH (Paphos, Cyprus) some 4hr 39mins of flying without a fault to report.Heres a shot of short finals for rwy 11 at LCPH.http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21135.jpgOnce again - thanks for the plane and I look forward to seing more soon!!Ian BowdenEGNT, Newcastle, UK.

When I am programming the FMC and have selected Vref then select the takeoff runway I get the message "Take Off Speed Deleted" Am I doing something wrong or is this a "bug"Andrew.

Fist I want to appologize for the uproar I created earlier, but I am strongly opposed to your registration process. Hopefully the debate is useful to you in some way. If not, pull the damn thing. You won't hurt my feelings a bit. I know you guys are busy doing your best to get a patch to us so don't feel obligated to answer this message right away.The questions I have pertain to registration (who would have guessed?). I have heard several scenarios where a user would have to re-apply for a new reg code. I have read on this forum and in your email that if I install to new hardware or move the 737 to new hardware I will need to re-apply for a new reg code. Will I have to re…

Hi!While I was making my almost daily visit to http://www.airliners.net, I took the chance and browsed the available photos of the 737/6/7 and noticed that none of those southwest 737/7 had winglet's! so I've opened fs cheked the reg on that one and guess what? In the photos it hasn't winglet's! I bet that she left them somewhere ;)This is not a problem at all, it was pure curiousity an nothing else.enjoy the plane boy's! ;)Jos

I downloaded and purchased this bird 3 days ago, and am still awaiting the registration code (e-mailed 2 days ago, but understand you are busy).Tonight, when I select the PMGD plane, I get an error message in a box labelled "PMDGOptions" that states "Invalid Machine Code". When I go futher I get the error message "Your PMDG License is Invalid or Expired".The only thing I've done that I can recall is download and install the NavData, as indicated in the PMDG docs. Is it possible to un-install and start again? What gives? I have made no hardware changes either. And, I do have a valid license:"Dear PMDG Customer- Thank you for purchasing a PMDG product. We are committe…

I thought I'd link this over here. It doesn't sound like the sort of service PMDG normally provides.http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=120483&page=Best,Bill

Hi all,I would like to make a few comments, I am not trying to speak on behalf of PMDG and any other companies I mention, I am in no ways putting down.OK, So there were a few registartion problems, within in reason I understand the fustration. Now I bought the CS 727 on a friday, and never got the key untill monday afternoon, CS only work small hours during the weekend (quite right to). PMDG have been answering posts during 4th July!! Looking back through this fourm, PMDG have promptly, and always answerd request's, and done their darnest, to get our request's in to the final products, I will go out on a whim here, and question which other developers would be as understan…

Im seeing almost completely white textures on the wings during the day and can't see the detail (in virtual cabin)on the wings. I can see the detail at sunrise, and near dusk, but in the day, they are almost white. This is in both 737-600 and 737-700 series. Any suggestions or help on this?Matt

Is it possible to get the aircraft to turn right ore left when creating a SID ore a STAR? forexample, if i want to go to "HDG 189" is there something i can do to make the aircraft fly ither right ore left as i desire? How well is the conditional waypoints feature simulated in the PMDG737? i belive there are som bugs when flying towards an intercept (INTC) in som conditiones.In the real 737NG, does the ARC's that are shown on the ND disapear when you enter them in flight? This happen in th PMDG737?Thanx for replies ;)Roar Andre Nicolaisen

Good afternoon1st happy July 4th all the US based pilots. This is an insignificant problem, but is it possible to enable Keyboard Entry of FMC data?Frederick:-newbie

5 hours of download friday night - wasted. Selecting 737NG initially the FS shuts down immidiatly. Selecting default Cessna Meigs first - I have a glimpse of cockpit and then back to desktop with an error message. Have a high end Dell PC. No problem with other aircraft. Even the F1 Meridian runs smoothly.AppName: fs2002.exe AppVer: 8.0.0.10919 ModName: pmdg_737ng_main.gauModVer: 1.0.0.0 Offset: 000a1304

Hi,This is in Regards to the 737 (great package all around - been waiting for something like this for years).On the ramp or on the end of the runway, I start off with great Frame Rates (locked to 25 and mostly staying there). I can get these even at KATL or EGLL (the two places I tested). My system specs are below and basically my machine is state-of-the-art as of May 2003.Frame Rates decay to the single digits usually once I get airborne and make my first turn. They will get better when I get aloft but deteriorate again when I get into an approach. I played around with reducing the CDU framerate target from the PMDG menu, and it helps a bit. But I think there is som…

HiI think this question has been answered before but I could not find it in the archives. After purchasing the base product which is the 600/700 product, will the 800/900 package be provided as an upgrade or will it have to be purchased?Also say for instance the consumer only wanted the 800/900 package, would they be able to purchase the 800/900 by itself or would you need to have the 600/700 package?Also the same goes for the BBJ/Military variants, will the consumer have to have had purchased the 600/700 and 800/900 products in able to run it or will you you be able to purchase it by itself? Ok I think I've asked enough for now-lol. :)ThanksNick

Folks:I'm getting all kinds of crashes after flying for 15-30 minutes. It always happens when I do something like push "P" to pause, or right-click, or click on a knob. The crashes are either completely garbled video and looping sound or a system reboot. Also, whenever I can shutdown FS2K2 normally, I always get an illegal operation in kernal32.dll.Using Win98SE, Ultimate Traffic, 2D cockpit only.I guess I'll reinstall FS2K2 and then install 737TNG only and see how it works.Ideas?James

Hi guys,another little question. ;-)Do you think you could eventually implement a simple fuel planner to use with the PMDG 737 to make it more easy to calculate required fuel based on ZFW etc.?BTW, to have the load manager affect the actual ZFW of the plane I select, should I change the values before or after I select the plane in FS?Thanks for any feedback.Ciao,Bjorn

I note that some have had success in changing paging file settings to overcome the poor frame rates. I note that in XP Home, that each HD partition (I have about 10) has an option of having it's own pagefile setting. My only pagefile setting is on H:. whereas FS is on E:, and the OS (XP) on C:. Should I allow some paging on the HD that I use FS on (E:) as well as my existing partition. Note- that I had disabled page filing on all other partitions other then the one that I created especially for this purpose (H:).Thanks,Bruce.

Hi all-Just downloaded and installed the southwest livery. It doesn't...er...srictly speaking...er..........work. I run the installer, open up FS, open the -700 and there are no new entries for the livery. Has anyone else encoutered this? Do I need to do something else to get the livery to show up?Still enjoying the plane, it's great! Thanks PMDG!Kindest Regards-

Hi team,I'd like to register my NG but once I try to let the FS produce the transfer key the only message I get is your PMDG license is invalid or has expired but this can't be true. Any ideas? Is there a way to totally remove the NG? I could only delete the folders but this can't by the way, or can it?Chris
