PMDG General Forum

Hi Guys, During the fsConfrence videos i see Mr Randazzo give away Desktop Models of the 737 can anyone tell me where he had these made as i would love to get a custom one painted. Regards

Due to a problem i've got with my 737ngx and weather I was wondering in general how many people have the registered version of fsuipc compared to the unregistered version

I submitted a ticket no more than two hours ago with a very amateurish question regarding the EDS that PMDG supplies. I'm in the process of moving all my FSX over to another SSD and have uninstalled and reinstalled everything tonight. (Yeah, it's been a long night with a few beers.) I couldn't find my EDS link to re download the NGX base package so I submitted a ticket and figured I'd check my email tomorrow. Well, I'm still up and don't have to work tomorrow and lo-and-behold, PMDG has answered my ticket, supplied my NGX Base Package link to me and reinstated my 600/700 package link for free. You guys rock. There's no other way to put it. I can't wait for the 7…

How can I add fuel to my engines that ranout of fuel? like. Engine 1 and 4 are empty and 2 and 3 are still going with a lot! How do i put some of 2 and 3's fuel to 1 and 4 engines? PMDG 747 btw

I have tried countless times yo get the HUD to show anything. Even loading from the PMDG tutorial #2 saved flight the HUD always remains blank when I lower it? Is tere some solution? If so, I wold like to hear about it

:-)

Would like to see a good 767 addon made for fsx by PMDG as I have myself flow the British Airways full motion flight simulator 4 times at British airways Training Centre, Cranebank Heathrow. Who agrees!!?? Nathan

Okay... First and foremost, my current comp is borderline pathetic and the reason I think why I'm having this issue. When I load up the 737NGX this is my cockpit (using low settings): None of the switches/buttons respond to click. It's completely incompetent. Is it because my comp can't handle the intensity of the PMDG?? I'm such a noob when it comes to this stuff. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! :Peace:

Are there ANY PMDG intentions to enter the Airbus market in the future?? thanks.

Hi Does anyone know how the new version of the 747 2.0 will interact with the old version. Should we uninstall the old version before installing the new version? thanks Doug Morlan P.S. I'm looking forward to the 777, but I really love the 747 and am paitiantlly waiting for her to be released.

I know that back in 2005 there was a lot of discussion over this video, and even Alan Carter (Pilot on Virgin 19) himself got involved, but nothing fresh, and the video is still one of a kind. I have spent the last few weeks trying to produce a mission using as much data as I can glean from the video, and have come up with a mystery. When Alan Ratighan is giving his lesson on the FMC, he stated that they had an hour and 10 minutes to run. The FMC shows that they were at that time, 25 nm from LKV on a heading of 178 degrees. By the time they start the descent briefing, they should be between LKV and RBL on a course of 192 degrees, but they are still a very long wa…

If anyone has tips to making the NGX run as smooth as possible, please post them here. I am looking to get the most out of the NGX.

Hey simmers, Is anyone experiencing trouble loading PMDG's website? I have not been able to load it for the past couple days. Originally I thought their website was down for a little but now I'm thinking something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Dmytri

Hello in my pmdg 747,MD-11 i can not save a panel state and on my pmdg 747 i could not save my panel my panel state on my old computer i was wondering if any one else had this problem thanks, Joseph

Hi,Today I got one big step closer to my next target. Okay maybe lets start it from the beginning. It all started about one year ago. I was interested in aviation, however I wasn't a big fan of it. Until one of my friends and I bought a 50€ joystick and 50€ FSX. First it made lot's of fun to do some of the missions and fly around in multiplayer. However I wasn't a real fan of flying a leg with more than an hour in the default 737 (logicaly because it has only about 5 working switches...). One day I bought the PMDG MD11. I hadn't had a addon before, and it was a huge improvment. I started to have even more fun and I tried to start simming siriously. Later in the last summe…

I got my NGX yesterday and have been unable to stop flying it either by hand or by the FMS on the tutorial missions. Very nicely done PMDG. Now I've decided to do a flight that I've done many times in real life, MKJP (NMIA, Kingston Jamaica) to KFLL (Fort Lauderdale Hollywood, Florida) on an Air Jamaica 737 (already have the livery installed). The challenge I have is obtaining a flight plan that the FMS will accept. I tried using siroutes.com to generate one but the FMS doesn't show the SID I expect to see nor does it accept the airway generated (UA301). Since that flight plan looks like one that FSX would generate, I'm assuming its either outdated, wrong, or both…

Gday Just curious if any of you know if the 777s cockpit is the same as say the 767 or 757, 747, i saw a picture of the 777 cokpit, and it looked like a 747minus 2 engine controls, the pic was at a distance so i couldnt see much detail. Id like to start practicing on a big twin,( love the sound of those BIG turbines) thanks for any help Jeff

Hi i hope someone can help? I purchased the 747F for Fs9 this moring via extended download (i had previously bought this some years ago) and submitted a ticket straight away but now almost 8hrs later im still waiting for the email with the link!! Any idea how long this normally takes? Brian Piper

If you guys download the 1207 version 3 cycle you'll notice that they've implemented alphabetical sorting of approaches at our request. This means you'll actually get the ILSes at the top of the DEP/ARR page approach list like they are in the real airplane and the less common approaches like NDB, VOR etc down further below them. Nice little time saver at most airports... Several bugs were fixed in this cycle too including the one that was causing approaches with just a runway to appear and screw up the approach list in the FMC, an issue that was causing certain waypoints to not appear in STARs and a couple other small things. I'm working with Richard on some more enh…

I have seen how to input the coordinates in the LEGS page and I have the most recent NAVIGRAPH cycle yet when I put the coordinates in the FMC it says "not in database." Any suggestions?

I have just started flying on-line and would like to start flights from Andras Field with the other guys but of course it will not allow me to align the INAS because if I use another airfield it recognises my position as too far. It would be good if I could add a line for EAFS with the coordinates. Our next flight will be inbound to Andras Field so it isn't such a drama as I will use a beacon that is close and recover VFR. I apologise if this has been discussed before but I couldn't see it, and help really appreciated. Regards Dave Boreham

who wants a pmdg 717

Many people often complain about how expensive software is and nagging about discount. But if you think how much you use it, what is the cost? I have only 747 so far (777 and 747v2 is on the list) and I have about 5 000 flying hours with it. 747 cost $55 new so total cost so far is 55/5000 = $0,01 per hour. How much have you paid for your PMDG software so far?

So i bought the extended download, and about a month ago had to have another link sent due to some maintence on the CPU. So it says there's no need for an service updates as they are the latest model, but the one i just got doesn't have the FO's Terrain display. So my question is should I get the SP1C, cause I know when the first or 2 SP came out it had the FO's dispaly. Thanks, Mike Davey 777

Hi, Ever since I purchased my new computer, I'm having problems with the keyboard assignments in FS9. For example, when I fly the PMDG 747-400 and I press the keys Control+Shift+G to engage the auto-throttles or TO/GA, nothing happens. Even when I use the PMDG assignments such as the L1 door, it sometimes does not work. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Ken.
