Hello Support In the upgrade of my disk space (increase size of SSD) lost many files including the PMDG suite of 737 aircraft. Have downloaded the files again but unable to activate as number of activations exceeded. ORDER ID:****** PRODUCT NAME:PMDG 737NGXu Base Package for Prepar3D v4 & v5 SKU:1861-54 ACTIVATION CODE:****-****-****-**** Many thanks Bill Gradwell [email protected]

Is there a list of keyboard commands for the PMDG 737-800?

PMDG Ops Ctr reports there are updates x2 available for 737NGX for P3D v3 and P3D v4. I selected "Install Update" and pressed "OK" the message disappeared from the Ops Ctr window without any action being taken while the Ops Ctr shows the hand written window "You have no notifications!" I have run the Operations Center as administrator. I have uninstalled all PMDG aircraft and re-downloaded the installers within an hour ago. I download windows Visual Studio 2010 x86 redistributable file, when run I was told that I had a more up to date version of the module. I have shut Win Defender down and excluded the Ops Ctr from being scanned. There i…

I have been working with John over at FSUIPC on this issue and I think this is a PMDG problem for the PMDG 737 NGXu for P3D v4.5. I am trying to configure axis #6 on the Honeycomb Bravo for flaps with detents using the Pro Desk Sim 737 hardware add-on. It has been a few days working on this. I cannot get it to work correctly. John gave me advice to try and still nothing works as it should. Today, I took off the add-on hardware and simply moved the lever forward and back. In FSUIPC it registers -16384 and 16384. Flaps 0 and flaps 40 is not an option after initial movement unless I click on the flap lever to move it to those positions. I get movements to flaps 1 …

For last few days i have unable to reach message when trying to open OC. Strange is that everything was working fine and i did not change anything, yet OC suddenly lost connection with PMDG servers. Anyone else or just me?

When I run PMDG operations center to install the new 737 update nothing happens. Operations Center opens and runs normally like checking for aircraft/liveries updates etc. Then goes to a blue/grey screen. It does not install the newest update. Any suggestions? Matt Wright

I downloaded my PMDG Operation Center bud it wont open it loads for some seconds and after that it just closes and when i reopen it it says that its already running idk what to do next??

Another bad experience at PMDG resulted in removing a post for the same broken record "The posts were removed as they were an attack towards the beta and developer teams" This is related to their last broken update affecting the majority of the customers and their dissatisfaction. Granted, after so many complaints coming in, they decided that certain items will be attended to. So far so good, nothing to argue about. While all these discussions were going on legitime questions, it was brought up "We want to know how all these gremlins crept through the latest update?" Another topic that surfaced was related to over-sensitive pitch and bank reaction…

Since a few weeks the altitude is not correct in my PMDG 777. For instance, when I'm in an airport with elevation zero, the 777 shows an elevation of about 2000 feet. When flying and landing, I always fly about 2000 feet higher than the automatic pilot thinks. Should I calibrate the elevation/altitude somehow? Hope hearing from someone. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Returning to flight simming after a loonoog while, and for now will just use my P3Dv4. I have a doubt I cannot remember. Is it still required to install the legacy Simconnect versions, or was that only if you had an addon that required it? Thanks!

...and getting elevator trim in the ballpark when turning off autopilot and auto-throttle. I tried to do this coming into KMSP this eve in the 738 and there was so much nose up that it was really hard to land the plane without a major forward push on the yoke--I turned AP off about 3 miles out with the plane is a nice attitude for landing while in auto-land CMD mode. I had a look after I landed and trim was at around 7.6 or so. Is there a procedure to follow to preset trim immediately after turning the autopilot off to avoid this massive flare up, or what is the right approach here?

Two of my PMDG 738 for MSFS flights have left me puzzled as to why the glide slope was not captured. Correct frequencies dialed in evidenced by the markers indicate GS and LOC. LOC captured but the plane just continues is slow descent right thru the glide slope and I can't tell why. Speed seems good, it just for some reason doesn't capture. It could be I've forgotten to enable something other than simply hitting the Approach button after the loc/gs indicators appear and I'm always careful to hit Approach when the GS indicator is well above the plane so that it is intercepted after the localizer is. What should I look at? But...most of my flights have captured the GS …

ATC announces what it's supposed to, but my pilot does not confirm he heard the instruction by repeating it. As well, my pilot has to hit prompts to retune etc.

...when descent speed is set for 250? I'll be flying level til around 140m out when speed drops way down and before I've initiated descent... Thanks in advance!

Can anyone help, i can get the stairs to come down but cant seem to open the doors.Many thanksDan

I am attempting to start up 777 from C&D in the MSFS Pmdg aircraft selection under PMDG 777. The cockpit is all dark , I go to the upper panel and all switches are on., what is needed after that? BTW, if the switch is showing ON, gdoes that mean it IS ON or that it has to be pushed to turn it on?..Thanks from this 89 yr old .

On B777 what would be the A/T mode when the pitch mode is vnav spd in cruise and descent flight mode that occurred when spd is >5 knts

Hello everyone, I have not made an account here until now and have frequented this site/forum community for most of my needs for years and absolutely love the setup! With that being said I have some very exciting information on the: "Planes falling into the runway Issue" You all know that one!!! Now I am currently making sure other combinations of executions don't derail it into mayhem literally out of the blue clear sky LoL!!! So Ladies and gents here are the current findings and a quick footnote about the particular finding. Oh and you will need to have the view options of your file manager setup to show hidden system files and of course when editing system files or hid…

I am still getting the occasional full deflection of the nose-wheel steering after push-back, and after landing. Has anyone found a genuine cure for this? At present I have to reload the aircraft. BTW I have checked and cannot find any false control assignments.

Thanks Nick,I think that does it............I think!best wishes, John

I’ve just reinstalled FSX steam version after at least four years without using FSX I have the box version of the 737 I’ve reinstalled it but can’t find anywhere where I can run an update can anyone point me in the correct direction there’s no operations centre in the list of PMDG products installed many thanks

Can't update the Operations Center App. It says it can't reach the PMDG Server ? Any of you with the same problem ?

Hi guys I already have FSX steam installed on my computer and bought the PMDG 777 yesterday. When I ran the setup, it kept telling me that "installation cannot continue. your registry does not show a valid fsx installation location...". I already tried to reinstall FSX and tried the FS Registry Repair but still not working. Can anyone help me?

Hi there, My recent purchase of the pmdg 747 has so far been a great experience, I currently have a bug where it freezes for a minute or so from time to time but that is not the issue I am creating this topic about. Recently I did a flight out of KLAS and went to the dep/arr page in my fmc to plug in my SID as per usual, to my surprise this page was empty for KLAS, there were no runways or sids in there, I went to my arrival airports STAR section which was EGLL for this flight and all of the STARS were showing up properly, I chcecked the arrivals page for KLAS as well but there was nothing there either. I read some much earlier topics regarding this issue but none of…

I accidentally install the new FMS DATA (Navigraph) to my newly purchased PMDG 777. I want to start the tutorial within the given manual with the default AIRAR cycle that valid the SID/STAR and waypoint that provided there. So I wanted to ask is there a way to reuse/reverse the Navdata? Thank you
