PMDG General Forum

I have been a great admirer of PMDG and have bought all their Fly and FlyII products. I made the switch to FS2002 when I read that PMDG would be support FS2002. In the interim I purchased Dreamfleet 737 and have flown this aircraft for many hours on VATSIM. I download and installed 737NG without any problems. Before I started flying I read the messages in the forum to ensure I was up to date and ready to fly. I set up a flight from KLAX to KLAS once again no problem with programming the FMC. Set of down the runway and my framerate dropped from 22fps to 5fps. I jerked down the runway and was airborne. I switch views a couple of time (I was only using 2D cockpit) and the fr…

Hey guys,Ive been browsing the forums, but unfortunately couldnt find any documentation to solve my problem. After recently purchasing the 737, downloading, and a brief installation process' I attempted to register my aircraft in Flightsimulator to encounter an error which says even with the pmdg 737 running: "Registration Menu Handler: you must have loaded a pmdg a/c to achieve the registration dialogue... please contact pmdg group support."I dont understand why it wont let me enter the code that I had purchased. Previous to this attempt i re-installed the aircraft after installing the microsoft gdi (windows me user).. Anyone know how to fix this?Thanks,Chris Smith

Hi!Could anyone post some shots of the new 737 VC?Thanks in advance! ;-)PedroPortugal

Dear any pmdg member, Is there any update or reason why the VC is having such a problem with frame rates. IF I just use the 2d model I get 20 to 25 all around in and out. even with the VC model if I don't go into the VC I get the same frame rates, but after I go into VC and it loads the textures my frame rates drop to 10 to 14 in and outside and stay there. I experimented with this and the longer I stay in VC the lower the frame rates go until they bottom out at the above values. If I just select VC and then get out right away it only drops a few and stays there. And so on and so on. I have a ATI 9700 PRO and have a 3 gig system over 1000 processor with Intel pentium…

Hello Could anyone here in the forum, please tell me if it is possible to download the PMDG 737 files using my ADSL-conection at work and then install them on my computer at home ? ( I only have a bad 56k modem connection at home....it would take just about forever to download these files)A quick and positiv answer, and another PMDG 737 will be leaving the hangar at PMDG.Regards Jesper

Hi, Everybody said to use PIC navdata, but where to put this navdata (folder) and what kind of navdata?Coimbra

I installed 737 on 2k4 and when I start it up it says it has detected a "potentially incompatible aircraft or software File: PMDGOptions.DLL" It then asks me if I want to continue loading the software, I say yes and everything is fine. However, after I try it load it in FS it freezes and I have to crtl-alt-delete. Is this a known issue?

Question such, as it is possible to enter coordinate in FMC, all formats that were used in PSS, DF, PIC (exmp. NDDMM.SEDDDMM.S) are not accepted.Please help!With best regards for PMDG Team!J. Ringis

I can't seem to get the auto throttle to switch on in the 700. The AT stays on inthe 600, but not the 700. Is there a different procedure in the 700? Thanks,Russ

So far i'm inserting those waypoints by hand in the LEGS page, but I could't manage to insert airways like in other FMC's outhere! I's this implemented in this version? If so how to do it ?Thank'sJos

I need help with the 737NG. When ever I go to turn the A/T on the switch will move up as if on and the next second it will turn back off, not allowing me to use the A/T. It keeps going back off, now I don't know if this is a bug PMDG knows about or am I doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.Daniel

yeap!i've FINALY got the plane and been trying/testing all what is capable off! I must say that I agree entirely with all the fellow costumers of PMDG who reported problems. Look's like this release whas a BIT rushed out..I must say however that the visual model is top work, the handling is also briliant (not the same when autopilot is used tough), and the virtual cockpit/cabin are also very good) regarding the systems, I can only compare them with my god old DF737 I know it's not an NG but in the basics they seem very simmilar, and for a product with several years in the market it's still a good product for comparation, and let me tell you, altough not 100% in the numb…

PMDG,I've just about given up. I'm STILL getting transaction problems and after two days I'm STILL waiting for a reply which answers my questions. I've emailed support three times. I've received one reply which didn't answer any of my questions, just gave me "try again" advice. I have not yet encountered the great support people tell me PMDG have. Would PMDG please set a higher support priority to those who are having purchasing/download problems, than others?I'm on the verge of taking my business elsewhere. If you don't know the situation check out http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...=6142&mode=full . PMDG check your support email.PLEASE help me sort out thi…

Hullo PMDG,i am truly amazed by the screenshots of your product, I would certainly like to buy it. Now that I do not posess a credit card, is it possible to pay by any other means? Or even better, do you plan a CD version, like PSS? Speaking for myself, I wouldn

Is there a way to import an FMC saved flight plan to the FMC rather than enter the waypoints again?

Hi Guys,More and more screenshots are coming up, now the 737NG is released.For the people who can't buy/ or just have some issues against buying stuff on the internet, will there be a CD-version of your wonderfull product??Happy landings,Jeffrey van LuitFleetmanager Dutchbirdvawww.dutchbird.tk(Sorry if you have awnsered this question several times... i did a search and didn't find a real awnser)

I am having a problem reading the barometer gauge. My GF3 video card is set to 1280x1024 on a 21" monitor. It is impossible to read the barometer and ATC is warning me about my altitude even though I periodically hit the "B" key. Is there a way to zoom this gauge like the PFD zoom? Otherwise great aircraft and panel! Thanks.Jim

Hi, I dont understand what is happening but many times I am flying and the aircraft falls down to ground from an altitude of 25000 feet or for example goes to an altitude of 39000 feet, moving very quickly itself and with the message bank angle, bank angle more than N times. Also when the weather changes, some thing happens in the same way. What to do? I can almost not fly one minute without happening this situation. It happens also after minimizing or maximizing other program, like msn messenger or irc or something: when I return to FS and open the window, the bank angle thousand times again and the aircraft falling down to the ground.I did not also receive my activation…

Dear Sir, 37 hours are passages and I am waiting for the e-mail with the link for the download, but I have not still received nothing. I have written many post in the forum citing the problem... I have sended 1 mail to [email protected] and 1 to [email protected] but I have not received no answer... me you can explain what happening? The situation has become frustrating. I have read that of the persons have obtained the link through email after a minute. I am waiting for from 3 days... :(You can answer to me please?I hope to see the link, in my e-mail inbox, as soon as possible...Best RegardsP.S: sorry for my very bad englishRocco Bellir.belli…

I find the volume of the warning messages a bit to loud for my taste.When I'm on final aproach the altitude and glideslope callouts are way to loud in relation to the other sounds.I have edited a few wavs in the soundfolder turning down the volume and now it's much better.I was wondering if anybody else is having the same experience?Is there another way for editing these volumes other then the method I used?BTW; had lots of trouble getting this bird working because of changing computer generated codes but had good assistance despite the recent network problems for the license generating team.Now that I'm flying it's been a yaw dropping and very enjoyable experience so far…

Ok,now i'm able to fly with my new wonderfull 737NGBut I've got a new problem: sorryThe frame rate is about 12-14 fps in cockpit mode. With external views it slows down to 7-8 fps!!FS2002 video option are at minimum and my PC is Pentium IV 1,5 Ghz512MB RAM & ATI 9000...i don't understand....With my other aircraft I fly with 40 fps in cockpit and 30 fps in external view...Thank you again LucaPS: I wanted to reinstall the plane but I'm not able to find a disintallation mode...

HiI bought 737NG...I have installed it, then I have started fs2002 (under win ME)and then I chose my new aircraft: 737 NG. At this point i read: " impossible to load third parts' software file: gauges/PMDG_737NG_main.gau"...And the only thing that I can do is to reboot my PC....HelpLuca - Italy

Hello,I know I should wait for the manual, but I am to curious :)I try to start up the engines as described in the mini tutorial. After the last step (pressing the lever on the throttle panel), the engine starts to rotate and by the sound the engine tries to ignite. The sound gets louder and louder and then there is a clack and everything starts over. During the whole process an oil pressure warning is given for both engines.When I try to start engines using automatic engine startup (ctrl+E), the left engine normally starts up and the right engines shows the same behaviour as described above.Any short solution to that, or do I have to wait for the manuall?

Hi, is it possible to install two copies of 737 on one PC. I have already one installed into the present FS2002, but I would like to install another, clean FS2002, with PMDG737 as the only add-on. Is that possible?Regards, Nejc
