This is really, really minor, but is there a clock anywhere on the 2D panel? We Virtual Airline Captains need to know our block times and it's a real pain to go to the main FS Menu since it pauses the sim....Steve

I am only using the 2d panels but everything is running very well.(I did try the 3d panels and they were ok also but I didn't run it for very long).I am getting 18-20 frames (20 maxed) inside or outside views.Changing views to dense scenery at airports can drop to 14 or so but only for a short period.I hope that this may encourage other with low end systems.As an experienced PS1 user I find this a dream.Once the manuals are out I look forward to really using the FMC to its maximum.AMD 1.3,Nvidia G force 2 pro (32mg ram) 512 mg 133 SDRAM,ASUS A7V motherboard.IBM 80 gbt HD 7200.I do not have ant-aliasing on but most other things are at max. incres.1280x1084 32 bit.Thank you…

Purchased the product and am impressed after a couple of test flights butI am concerned about the lack of SID/STARS. I had assumed a product in this price range would have all procedures built in (like reality XP Garmin).I have read that users will be able to create them and I saw a message about a converter being developed but I personally would not be interested in multi downloads everytime I wanted a new flight. I also do not want to rely on others manually developing procedures that may contain errors. I appreciate some people will like the idea of developing procedures but not me.I understand FS2004 will have all procedures built in and the pilot will be able to requ…

Dear friends,First of all, CONGRATULATIONS for this very excellent aircraft :-)Furthermore, thank you very much for giving us quick answers to the few issues. This is very appreciated, because, like costumers, we always want to know why something for what we paid is wrong. Thanks again :-)I would like to know what name of GPU sound file is, because it has a small "jump" each (about) 5 seconds (what I suppose is the end of file). So I was wondering I can fix it simply cutting the end of the file with a .wav editor.Thank you in advance for your attention and congratulations again! :-)Looking forward to that manual ;-)Best regards,Himar Viera

Hello,I have looked for a "cold and dark" button or setting in the PMGD menu, with no success.Is there one model yet?If no, is is under schedule?If not, I guess saving a flight with the panel in that situation will do the trick.Cpt Cyrille de Lattrewww.corporateaviationservices.comP IV 2.4 GHZ/1.5 GHZ SDRAM/ATI RADEON 9700 128 MEG/

Well now I got as far as got the bird installed. And in a freshly installed fs2002. Only problem is. Seems it forgot Im allowed to fly it for 10 days until I get my registration key. Cause I got "unlicensed or demo version" plastered all over my screens. Now aint that nice!!!. Now I can look foreward to waiting again cause Im sure the registration I send of wont arrive just today now is it??Or is one of you guys gonna make sure I can actually fly it today??....since I DID pay for this thing it aint fair ur %#%#%# protection wont allow me.Hope to hear from PMDG very soon!!Tom

To the Folks at PMDG,Congrats on a great product! Beautiful work inside and out! My question is this; I have a friend who wants to buy this product too, but only has Discover as his one and only credit card. He told me you do not as of yet take Discover, and he is really chomping at the bit to get this plane! What would be the easiest, most convenient (for you) and legal way for me to purchase with my card and he download the product legally onto his computer??I run a va that only flies top notch pay ware and it took one flight from ORD to DFW for me to decide to add your plane to the fleet. That's why my friend wants it so badly.Dave HirschbuhlChief Operating Office…

Choosing the waypoint NDB CP the FMC shows me 5 CP to choose but there are at least 11 listed in the airac. Tried with PG and there are also only 5 listed in the FMC. Next page didn't worked when I tried to see the others.ThanksJos

Maybe I didn't find it...Is there a clock and chronometer or stuff like that??Fritz

To everyone, like myself, who is having problems with purchasing the 737NG, please post here.PMDG Team: Here is my problem:1. I have tried to purchase the 737 several times yet each time I click the "Submit Transaction" button I get a message in red saying "the transaction has been declined".2. I have no pop-up blockers, firewalls, anti-virus software or others running in the background.3. I have taken the steps you outline on your purchasing page and enabled cookies.4. I have tried this on two seperate computers using two seperate lines.I'm still waiting from a personal response from Rob (I know you must be tired!), yet I decided to post here so that other members could …

First of all - wow! What a plane. She's a little harsh on frames, but overall worth the taxation. Secondly, are the panel dimmer unit buttons purposely non-functional or is that a bug?Lastly, there are no buttons on the IRS panel. You can see the text labels, but the buttons are missing. Thanks!

Dear Sir,Is your product compatible with FS2004 'out of the box'?I ask because as I understand the 737 depends on FSUIPC, and Pete Dowson has stated his module does not work with FS2004, and hes unsure if he will have an updated version ready for the release of FS2004Also, the PMDGoptions.dll module fails to load but perhaps that will correct itself with the correct version of FSUIPC?Thanks

Hi at PMDG,i wonder if there will be a boxed Version of the 737NG in the near future. Are there any plans?Thank you and cheers,Michael

Hi,I had hardly no problem to download and install. So I felt very lucky. But when I made my first steps with the fmc, I must experience, it knows nearly no ICAO airport code (NOT IN DATABASE).There is a message (faq), how to download and install airac in an any directory. Is this really o.k. - in any dir? How does the fmc know, where to find the data?Detlef ZiehlkeEDDKCologne-Bonn, Germany

Hello,tis morning I happily received my registration number. So I fired up FS2k2, selected the PMDG 737NG 700 w/o VC, and started a flight. Instead of the known box saying "x days left" I got a box saying "too many users on this PC are using this product", or something like that. The main gauges then showed the known "demo or unregistered verion" text.Anyway, I only wanted to fill in the registration code and that worked fine. I then restarted fs2k2 and had no problems afterward.So - I do not really have a problem, and hopefully I'm not able to reproduce the error. I just wanted to document the problem ... Thomas

Hi,now that bird is out of the cage, could some of you guys here that already have this baby post some screenies of the 2D panel please???I still have to wait for the boxed version so I would like to see what it looks like on your systems.Oh and btw. could some one post some fps facts??Thankl you a lot!Matthias

Hi there !I would like to install my 737NG on my Desktop PC and my Notebook ? What do i have to do ? Is it possible ? Thank you !Tobias.

Can you import flight plans or do you have to manually enter all your waypoints? JeffG

Is it possible to drive the auto pilot using FS Nav or Reality XP Garmin??? If so what are the settings??Bill M

Well I finally got this beauty in the air and she seems to be stable as can be except for the frame rate issue. Thus far after two hours of flying it I my only dissapointment is that I/we have to wait for FMC Data to come out to take full advantage of that gauge....I would have waited another week so it was a completed release.I have three observation/suggestions to note here.Is there a way to add the following.Flap Call outsV-Speed call outs on Takeoffand Gear Up/Down Call outsSince this is a A/C that requires two crew I think that it would only be proper to have this feature added on a service update.ThanksRandall Smith

Great job on the 737. you guys deserve 2 thumbs up for this project.I figured out most of the panel ops not having a manual, but where is the panel light switch, also what is the proper engine start sequence???Keep up the good workBill M

Will I be able to run the PMDG 737 at the same time on both FS2002 and 2004. Like others, I will be leaving Fs2002 on my computer for a least a year after FS2004 comes out. I do most of my flying on VATSIM. I figure it will take 6 month or more before most of the applications I use currently on FS2002 can run on FS2004. Will need to get two reg# in order to do this. How about users of home cockpits who have to run flight sim on multiple computers. Just wanting to know because I run a home sim with multiple systems. Thanks for any info. Dan M

Hey! Has anyone experienced this problem?I bought a copy of the 737-700 package. It gave me a confirmation saying the order went thru. I never got an email with the instructions to download the software.I mailed PDMG and haven't gotten an answer yet.Please let me know the best way to contact them.Thanks so much,Teo

email me at [email protected] can email you all my purchasing information. I have already asked for a Key code please ignore that request. I will reply to your email as soon as you send it to meGreat product look forward to the rest of the fleet....... Thank you Fly High & Fast

Things have been moving so quckly on this forum I cant find where I saw this but, is it true you cannot use FS2002 flight plan utility at this time. Will you in the future or must you buy a 3rd party utility.Thanks Andrew
