PMDG General Forum

Now that I can fly the 300ER, I have to say that I shall be VERY satisfied for a long time. I couldn't care about any other aircraft developments. I still have a massive amount to learn from both the manuals and my favourite flying long hauls across all 5 other continents, so shall be deeply satisfied with the 777 that I have got. Yes, there is still a lot of additional OrbX scenery to come and FS2Crew 777, but my cup already overflows. Many thanks for all of the work PMDG have put into the 777. You have given me extending horizons to my favourite hobby! Cheers, Richard

is there a setting that allows the altimeter to show both feet and meters at the same time? Don Emerson ?

We put up a weather radar troubleshooting page in the knowledge base today - if you're having issues with it, take a look here first: http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a109/weather-radar-troubleshooting

Hi, I reinstall windows on my computer and i had forgotten canceling the PMDG 777 licences and i cannot activate my products. I sent a request to PMDG via website but no replies. So, what can i do to solve this problem? Thanks for helping.

I've made a repaint and after install it, it shows very nice but my taxi cam only shows the ground. The nose gear and the fuselage no longer appear. This is the list of files in my repaint folder: pmdg_777_decals.dds pmdg_777_fuse_1.dds pmdg_777_fuse_2.dds pmdg_777_fuse_3.dds PMDG_777_tail.dds PMDG_777_VC_NNumber.dds PMDG_777_wing.dds pmdg_777_wing_misc.dds thumbnail.jpg texture.cfg Anyone? Thank you guys. Fred Matias

I'm sure we're all enjoying the new WX radar on the PMDG777, however, I wondered if PMDG or any of the BETA testers can give us an insight into the recommended settings for ASN to better suit the WX radar. I'm also having issues with cloud popping and disapearing returns, but that's already being looked at by HiFi. But maybe some input here may alleviate some of the problems I am having.

Hi, i have a strange FPS issue that i cannot solve by myself and i hope someone can help me. I reinstalled fsx because of some scenery problems and now the frames drop after using FSX for 20 to 30 seconds. I have a low to mid-end pc but i managed to get good fps with both the 737NGX and the 777 with moderate fsx settings. I use the vanetubu site for fsx.cfg tweaking and the fps limiter set to 30fps. When i start at fs dreamteam's klax with the 777 in virtual cockpit i get like 23-29 fps at the beginning. Everything is fluent. After 20-30 seconds the frames drop down and when i push the trottles fsx is lacking (almost down to 5 frames). And what never happend b…

Was doing an update with the OC, and got the following error message, one or more delivery entries seem to be missing,do you wish to recover them? What do I do next, I enter more info, I then get the following message, a delivery entry in aircraft cfg appears to be missing, but texture files are still installed. This is usually a result of a product upgrade. May also be caused by manual editing of aircraft cfg file. If you wish missing deliveries can be recovered. If you choose to delete textures, the texturefiles will be removed from the hard drive. Selecting ignore will prevent the Operation Center from asking about these deliveries. Thus, to recover these del…

Hello, i think i've found what cause the fps impact for me. fill in the fix page with radio and green circles miles cause me frames drop of 10. i am currently uploading a video to youtube so i can show you on video what i mean, please take the 3 minutes to test it youself it's for real. any suggestions? BTW i am using the NGX.

Hi, I really expected that SP1 would improve VAS memory use. After 3 days and 8 flights, in fact it's just the opposite. SP1 uses, for me, about 200 Mo VAS more. Maybe the weather radar (anyway it's really a huge improvement in FSX world). I ve tried new 22 khz sound package, hoping it could help but without success. I'm quiet a bit disapointed, i waited SP1, expecting some VAS improvement. Does someone have the same issue ? any idea how to get back to previous VAS usage ? other trouble, when i apply power to taxi (no flaps), even with 2 or 3% N1, i have a flap config alert, never had this issue before SP1 ?.

Chaps, I'd like to precede this by stating that I am not a coder, or programmer. I am, however, extremely adept at thinking of ideas while in the shower, or on my royal throne, and as such, I've just thought of a way we could make ground ops a little more realistic. We know that an aircraft at idle thrust will perform a slow roll, however, this appears to not occur in FSX, due to whatever reason. I understand this, and know it's an engine limitation. My train of thought is as follows: If we can't directly make the engine do something, why not trick it into thinking that a certain action is occurring? Allow me to clarify. The general idea is to "tell" FSX that …

Thank you pmdg Without you guys this game wouldn't be nearly as awesome

Hi guys. I have a very bad pc, and a very hig dislike for defaults. I want realsim, not with longhaul Aircraft. I like the Jetstream 41 and B737-800 and I am looking at getting an AMD FX8350 CPU. Now, how do you think it will run with 8GB RAM, the AMD FX 8350 O/C at 4.8 Ghz with the Nvidia GTX 650?? This is what I can afford. Any ideas on FPS??

Captains- I wanted to give a quick update to let you know that overall we are pretty pleased with the first day's performance with SP1 and the 300ER. As is always the case, we have a couple of items that we are monitoring, we are collecting feedback and looking at fixes to some of the more severe items that we see. Normally we do this quietly and in the background, but during the past few releases we have also made it a point to make sure you know we are doing this- so this release is no different. I always hesitate to identify any specific item that we are watching because invariably someone will feel compelled to jump in with "well are you also going to fix…

I currently have the 747-400X loaded on my desk top system (doing this post from my laptop!) and must admit I haven't flown it in quite some time :( I want to start flying other PMDG aircraft such as the 737-800NGX and the 777, so in catching up with what's been happening on the forum and PMDG in general, I see a lot of reference to the "Operations Centre" (ie, livery installs) but I can't recall if I have it. Where would I find the Operations Centre? Is it a separate download or would it be somewhere in the 747 package I have? As I said, it's been quite some time since I last looked at the 747. Thanks in advance.

Thank you PMDG What an amasing release. The spead of process and download was totaly amasing. I was ready to see a movie and just wait for the big storm to settle. Thank you for an amasing release, Amasing product and awsome custom service. Have a great weekend. you all deserve that. Best regards From Fredrik Hofstad Haugen

After install the SP1 I get some freeze in the longhaul service and the the Plane crash to the ground. In descent i loss control the cockpitbutten wont work anymore. The Autopilot lost the control^^. Im very frustratet. Without SP1 all work fine.

Good morning to the staff at PMDG, First off, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for yet another amazingly developed product you have put to market with recent release of the 777-300ER!! No other developer in the area can even come close to what you have done! I have been using flight simulator for years - dating back to very first releases of the product (probably dating myself), sprinkled in a few flavors of Flight Unlimited and Chuck Yeager's to round things off. I can still think back to the days of your first release of the 737 when I was playing with the Level D 767 and was truly amazed at how far flight simulator had come from the days of the a f…

Doesn't appear to be available yet; any idea when?

Correct me if I'm wrong but is there also a service pack due for the NGX as well? I just have some vague recollection but could be wrong.

Hi, I posted a ticket to the PMDG support earlier today (14:00 GMT), now I know they are busy (and time zones) what with the 300ER having only been out a few days (please don't jump on me, I'm not expecting a response immediately from PMDG) However when I look at the "My Tickets" page the only ticket visible is one that I sent to PMDG last year. Therefore: 1: Did my ticket not get filed into the system for whatever reason (I filled out the form correctly and pressed "Start ticket") 2: Do they not appear in the "My tickets" page until one of the tech's acknowledges my ticket? It just seems weird that it doesn't appear and I don't have a "your ticket was sub…

I was wondering if PMDG has or would consider making a co-pilot app which would allow co-pilot operations to connect to each other. I think it would be awesome. What you guys think? As someone already did not understand what i was asking, i will add this "The overwhelming majority of high-end 3rd party add-on aircraft utilize custom code and variables not accessible via published FSUIPC offsets or the Microsoft MSFS SDKs (fs2crew site)." A PMDG specific program would be nice. let me know if further specification is needed.

I was just wondering how many people will buy the 300 and what the main reason was. What extra does the 300 give you that the 200 doesn't? Is it just because it's another PMDG aircraft in your virtual hanger or does it actually provide you with a extra long hauler? Is it because certain real life airlines fly the 300 not the 200 and you don't like the fictional paints. I don't think I will be buying it as I already have regional flyer, a mid range European holiday destination flyer and with the PMDG 777, something to cross the Atlantic for my Disney holiday. I don't mind the fictional thing as I have already painted my airlines with a fictional paint scheme. I will be…

Hello I have just installed the Sp1 for the 777 and purchased and installed the 300ER expansion. I performed a test flight around my Fly Tampa Dubai International airport pay ware scenery. When I do this I use the FMC to calculate my V speeds and trim. In order to obtain the V speeds I make a little route going direct from OMDB to DXB, the local VORDME. When I do this I get the magenta line. When I am given my V speeds from the FMC I notice that the magenta line disappears, upon further inspection it disappears precisely when I enter V2 my problem is, after take off at roughly 1500 feet AGL I lose control of the aircraft and all my screens in the cock…
