hey,it would be nice to see some new screenshots. Could we expect some this weekend or at least the next week? greetings from TXLPatrick

I purchased Fly!2 specifically for the PMDG 757 since my company was sending me to training on it. It was helpful but I have found it to be more pitch sensitive (even with joystick sensitivity turned down) that the real airplane or the 757 simulator. In fact, when you engage FLCHG mode, the nose will tend to hunt quite a bit up and down which usually causes me to just switch over to V/S mode. Any chance there's a patch that fixes this or can this be tweaked with some sort of a flight model editor?I realize that support on a product for Fly!2 is probably pretty low priority compared to FS2002 projects, however I would be willing to upload any fixes/recommendations I can…

hey,will the 737NG include the possibility to change the temprature contollers at the ovh panel? (I want to freeze the cabin on one of those hot summer days just to get sure the passengers are not complaining about the heat ;) ???It might sound a bit weird asking for such feature, but it

Hi.When enabling AP after takeoff, the plane first unaturally pitches the nose down to 0 degrees, before doing the climb the right way.And when landing a light aircraft, the touchdown is no good due to the problem with the wheeltrucks. I am not flying the 777 anymore because of this, only the 757.Are you ever going to fix this?

hey,I

hey,could any of the PMDG-team comment on the expected livery

hey,will the 737NG have working wipers and if so how big is the impact on the fps? Are we gonna see the different light positions related to the respective switch postion in cockpit (landing lights, runway turnoff, taxi)? Thanks.greetings from TXLPatrick

I hope this has not already been asked else where, i havent seen it yet, but im interested in buying the FLY! 757 aircraft and i was wondering if theres a way to mail a check for the payment instead of using a credit card because im not comfortable with that...Thanks and happy landings....Adam C. Falcone

hello, Will failure be simulated in the PMDG737NG, something like PIC product line and the upcoming SSW A310???PS sorry for not paying attention to forum rules here is my signatureVatin PetaneelanonVTBD

Q - Will you be able to control all of the functions of the 737 from the virtual cockpit?A - No. This feature is not planned for the current version. In FS9, a virtual cockpit where you can control the aircraft from will be standard. Will you guys update the 737NG after the release of FS9 so we can get this function?I have one more question :) How can I join the beta-tester team? :-rotor

Hello Guys at PMDG, this seems like a cool plane you are making!:D I won't ask about release dates, as I have been looking at this forum before. :) But I have one request for this addon , and that is please include REAL sounds in this plane , I am a REAL sound-junkie! ;-) by this I mean: -Real startup-sounds for both the outside and inside,-Real shutoff-sounds for both the outside and inside,-The right impression of wind-sound when in the air-The overall the sound of CFM 56-7B20 when inside and outside the AC-The trim-sounds,and the Aircondioning-sound in the cockpit, Avionics-sounds and thrustreverser opening-sounds+++ pheuu.. :( Now that would be AWESOME..:7 :7 :7 Now …

Good Morning, Gents!One of the things that we strive to avoid at PMDG is the announcement of release dates. We do this in large part because a development project of the type required for our 737NG product line includes a number of potential pitfalls. These pitfalls can't be predicted, and they can only push your release date outward....Thus, we have some internal deadlines to our development cycle, but we don't discuss them publicly in case we need to move them in order to complete our airplane as we see fit.In the past, we have shown you occasional screenshots of the airplane while in development in order to satisfy your curiousity!We have taken a *slightly* more cons…

Hi everyone!Since PMDG offers different variants: What are the differences? Is it just lengh, range, power or also indications (round rad. altimeter, callouts, FMC-pages, overhead,..?)?regards,Stefan

i know, i am sure that it was stated somewhere but i can't remember. when will the 737 be ready to beta test or to buy? Ariane Design will release its 737 this week. I will buy it if you can't give me a horizon when it will be finished ;)best regardsMartin "Hollywood" Muehlemann

Hey gang.Have you guys figured out how to do this yet? Would be great to be able to fly the 737NG in VC with all gauges working. I know Reality-XP has done it, but they are not using the GDI.

hey,I dont want to stress you guys, but could you give us some new screenshots showing the overhead panel and FMC or the other engine display variantes??? would be really nice. greetings from TXLPatrick

Greetings,What about a autosave function who saves the panel configruations and FMC to a temporary file like every 10 minuts or so? Maby when passing 10000ft on topaltitude then every 15 minuts until descent, then at 10000ft or something.Its not funny to replace the aircraft in the air without FMC, and almost cold and dark cocpit if your computer crashes :)

Hi, I was wondering if there is any new info on the Jetstream 41 or if it is still coming out? I love this airplane I am glad someone is making one of the Jetstream planes. Thank you for your time.

Hi guys.I was just wondering, would it be possible to get keyboard-input capabilities on the 777 FMC, just like your new 757 has?It's a very nice feature, and it makes the use of the FMC much easier.Roy B. :-waveOslo, Norway

Greetings,http://zone.msn.com/flightsim/FS02SpecialFS9.asp Microsoft is today announcing their new FlightSimulator. On their site they say it will be released around summertime 2003.Will the PMDG 737NG work for Microsoft Flight Simulator: A Century of Flight aswell?

Gents-something fresh, to keep you updated. Hopefully within this weekend, you'll get new pictures - some might also include the CDU!http://www.precisionmanuals.com/public/sample_020603_2.jpghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/public/sample_020603.jpgCheers,

Hi,I would like to know if there is the possibility to use PMDG's 777 for Fly! II with the FINAL VERSION (or the last unsupported version) of Fly! II for Macintosh.I ask this becouse I think the final Macintosh version is in sync with the PC version... or not?Thanks!

We are currently preparing the 737NG cockpit to be previewed, which will include things like the fully functional overhead panel and systems functionality as well as the various main panel perspectives included in this package (all four of them!).But until then I thought I would show you some of my work. The pictures below show the high polygon 737NG cabin which will be used to make the virtual cabin (it even includes our very own in-flight magazine "jetSET"). Through this we will get much better depth and shading on the virtual cabin to make it look more realistic. The same principle is being applied to the virtual cockpit, I built a highly detailed cockpit which is goin…

Captains!On behalf of Marc Harrington, I just wanted to let you know that we have dramatically updated our web site in anticipation of the BOEING 737: The Next Generation product line!Marc is currently unable to post at AVSim for reasons that remain a mystery- so I'm going to take all the credit for his hard work on the web page.... (sssshhhhh! Don't tell him!)If you can think of anything else you'd like to see us add....let us know.... We are always looking for good ideas!Oh- and I expect that you'll begin to see lots of pictue of our upcoming 737NG beginning this weekend.... The project is really coming together nicely!Robert S.

I've been having trouble getting ILS guidance to appear on the Navigation Display, despite tuning the ILS tuner properly. I've read the manual, and I think I'm doing everything properly.I'm attempting a non-AP landing at KATL, ILS8R. I verified that this is an ILS runway by pulling up the Fly!2 runway directory. I also checked the frequency: 109.90.This screenshot illustrates the final approach just before touchdown. As you can see - no ILS Course Deviation Indicator comes up on the Nav Display -- only the runway Direct-To Station Steer Line.NOTE: I've tried this several times, both during an established flight plan and on a quick go-around. The screenshot below was taken…
