PMDG General Forum

I see a few ideas floating around but one airliner has yet to see the light of day in the whole history of Flight Simulator (outside of Perfect Flight's offering). PMDG has already done the MD11, the cockpit of the 717 operates much the same. It would be great if PMDG tackled this airliner seeing as Delta has taken them on from Air Tran. PMDG would do the most justice to this bird based on the MD11 (which was outstanding)...

Here is Boeing's latest video about the MAX, showing the development of their pre-production simulator. You can see some GUI renditions of the new flight deck, looks very 787 like. Its now gone to the small gear switch. http://www.boeing.com/boeing/Features/2014/06/bca_737max_ecab_06_25_14.page

Hi, After being in the aircraft i must say using zoom 1.0 gives you the most realistic view on approach as the runway is eating you up :-) Michael

I just want to know if its normal to have less fps while on full screen because I have read that its the other way for most. I get 5 less while in full screen and am wondering why since the resolution is not very different so maybe I have some wrong settings. Any possible solution for this? Thanks

Good day Captains! (or am i actually allowed to say that, due to Robert using that sentence) In any case let me continue, my PC setup isnt too bad i could run the PMDG 777 jip had some VAS issues, but the last few flights (crossed fingers) i havent experienced it again. Now my FSX and all related products ORBX, AS Next, Avliasoft, ORBX was running on a seperate drive which was a normal 1TB HDD. I got myself a large SSD and all my FSX goodies would fit on there with some spare capacity, now here is the question: 1. Do i just Copy my entire D:/ HDD drive to my new E:/ SSD? 2. Will all the programs that have now moved to the E: Drive work without making changes? 3…

My apologies to Arjen for making another request. :He He: Yes, I know there are payware versions already out there. I know because I've BOUGHT them, only to find that they do not work with my configuration. Level-D's 767 locks up FSX on my computer before you even get to the aircraft selection screen. CaptainSim's version is missing displays and switches/controls are non-functional when they should be. :wacko: What is it about my configuration that throws those respected paywares for a loop? I run Win 8.1, FSX w/Accel Pack in DirectX10 mode, and I run a three-wide display using nVidia's Surround technology. Those companies do not officialy support their produc…

hello guys, see this video: I always wanted to find out what that sound was, and finally thanks to this video I found look at 1:30 minutes and 1:57 and observe the command of spoilers when the commander activates the spoilers they make a certain sound, and when it retracts makes a different sound I always wanted to know the origin of this little noise, and now I finally discovered hey PMDG, do not let it out please :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hello gentlemen, I think this question is bugging me for quite some time and now I will ask it here as I am sure some people will be able to give me a good answer. When I am looking at a lot of airports these days I find something like this list when it comes to selecting an approach: Note this is taken from SFO for runway 28R: a) ILS OR LOC RWY 28R b ILS RWY 28R (SA CAT I) c) ILS RWY 28R (CAT II - III) d) RNAV (RNP) Y RWY 28R e) RNAV (GPS) X RWY 28R f) RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 28R g) LDA/DME RWY 28R h) LDA PRM RWY 28R i) RNAV (GPS) PRM X RWY 28R j) QUIET BRIDGE VISUAL RWY 28L/R k) TIPP TOE VISUAL RWY 28L/R From what I understand, in the real world for normal com…

Hi all: I notice that some NGX liveries do not include a settings INI file. When I go to change them, there are no options listed at all. I highly suggest PMDG add the option to generate one automatically if it's missing, so we don't have to go into each livery ingame to generate an INI file. It would make life easier for those trying to configure a fleet outside of FSX. Nate G

I recently installed SweetFX a couple of hours ago. Everything was working but now my DX10 preview has disappeared. My D3D10 Dll has also gone as well. I believe that is the cause but I know not how it had disappeared. I run the DX10 fixer and my CFG has DX10 set to 1.

The T7 story Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a pilot named Robert who also had an aircraft toy shop. He was known throughout the kingdom as the maker of the best aircraft that the world had ever known. He had a band of people known as developers who helped him make these toys. There was one man named Ryan who spoke to all the children in a place called a forum. The forum was run by the mayor of the kingdom affectionately called uncle Tom. There were also the testers of the toys who checked all the toys before they were released to the children to make sure they worked and were safe to play with. One of these testers was named Kyle, also known as RTFM…

Dear PMDG, First, THANK YOU for an amazing product. I have learned so much with the 737NGX!! I feel I am ready to graduate to the 777. I purchased the 737NGX through fspilotshop.com and was able to buy the DVD and install it that way. fspilotshop.com did not give me an option for download, and they do not seem to have available the PMDG 777 for purchase, download or DVD. Where can I purchase a PMDG 777 (LR/F) DVD? I like having a hard copy for future re-install purposes. Thank you for your help! gmcarr82

Hello guys, Just need a bit of help, i am thinking about networking two computers together so i can have, PFPX, ASN and Vatspy running on a single computer so the main computer can fix on running my FSX, PMDG aircraft and other addons. How would i go about achieving this and would i need any software? Many thanks John Freeeman

This is by no means a demand, therefore, keep your personal opinions to your self as this topic is NOT asking for them. Also, if you are not PMDG, there is no need for you to answer anyways. Now, I was just wondering, PMDG already has certain models (base models), what are the chances of use getting the rest of them? By that i simply mean that with the: -737 we have the 6/7/8/9, but no earlier models like the 1/2/3/4/5/BBJ (some of this was discussed so no need to re-discuss) -747 we have the 400 and/-8 but no 1/2/3/SP Many will stick with fsx for years to come and i think it would be a smart business move to fill in missing models when time permits. I do un…

Hello, Interested in learning more about chart reading, in particular Navigraph Charts. Would like to know of any quality guides out there. Kevin

Hello, I have some questions about the weather radar. So, for now it will only work with ASN. I have OPUS and I don't know if I should buy ASN to get the weather radar. Will the radar also work with other programs like OPUS in the future or will it stay like this that it's just with ASN prossible? And are there any plans to integrate the weather radar in the 737NGX or any other older products?

Hi All Just for interest, but living in Perth (WA) can have its downsides. Especially when we get those winter fogs. EK424 dep OMDB 19/Jun got to TD for YPPH after a long slog across the Indian Ocean but thick fog below minimums caused it to divert. Where to? Alice Springs (YBAS) - about 2 hrs from here. Fancy that when you think you're almost done! These fog events occur around 2-3 times in the winter and always generate some pain. Sometimes flights will try to land the need to divert to places like Adelaide. EK couldn't do that in this case because of the curfew in YPAD. Makes for interesting planning. Cheers James

Hello everyone, I have enjoyed PMDG since the beginning and have never had any issues until now. I recently did some hardware upgrades and decided to re-install a clean FSX to include PMDG's products. Only problem is that the livery installer is not installing liveries. So let me explain in excruciating detail what I am doing so maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. This make so little sense to me that it must be a simple mistake. 1. Download the repaint file and unzip it to a temporary folder, ensuring that it is for the right variant for example: PMDG_737NGX_800WL_AA 2. Run the PMDG Operations Center as an administrator from the windows sta…
