PMDG General Forum

I have FSInn installed but have 3 outstanding questions:1. How do I set the hotkey for transmit?2. How do I set to receive speech (not my aircraft sounds) thru my headset rather than my main speakers?3. I am getting immediate echo thru my headset of what I say. How should I get rid of this?Any help much appreciated

Captains-At the invitation of our partners at Aerosoft, PMDG will be attending the 10th annual flight simulation conference to be held in Munich on 24MAR12.It is hard to believe it has been nearly four years since we last attended!It is not often that we get an opportunity to meet you face-to-face, so it would be nice to see as many of you as possible during the conference.We will be conducting a presentation during the conference that you won't want to miss... (This will be one of those events in which some will be there, and will claim that they were there... But we would like YOU to be there, that's all I'm saying!)We have a few surprises up the sleeve, but I don't w…

Hi,Cant wait for the 777 and 747 v2! when i heard that pmdg are making a new 747 i almost fell of my chair!!!!! good work! what about the baby dash 8?CheersAndrew

this version include the 400 or the new 800 ?

Just wondering where PMDG's fearless leader, Mr Robert... err - sorry, Capt. Robert S. Randazzo is? I'm guessing there has been no post on here about Munich because Robert and his team are enroute back to the States? Anyone in the know, know? By the way, anyone know what the "S" stands for in his name? I'm going with "Superman" until someone confirms otherwise, but don't get a big head from that, okay Robert?

Pleased to hear of the upcoming 777 as well as a bit surprised how soon. I have high hopes for FBW aircraft simulations from top developers. Will the product be a genuine FBW airliner simulation, i.e. a true databus (Boeing DATEC) simulation? If not then what exactly are we getting for a "FBW simulation"?

HiIt possible in the incoming 777 and 747...remove and relocate(pehaps whit a key of the keyboard) the pilots from the cockpit...when the plane is in the gate? To simulate that they leave and later board the plane.Thanks, RegardsCarlos Duran

Hye everyone,I am wondering whether it's normal or not.... ? :Thinking:My config is :i5 core overclocked @ 4400 Mhz on a SandyBridge P8P678 Gb RAM DDR3GTX 560TIFSX SP2 - REX - GEX - ASE - Xtrem FSXI assumed it should have been suffisant to run FSX with my favorites add ons such as 737NGX, MD11... and the result is no more than 15 Fps with the NGX and 18 fps with the MD11 on EHAM X with traffic at 40% !!! :( DO you think it's normal or this could be incresead by special settings ...?Thanxs by advance D'jo

With the update for the 747 coming soon, will PMDG consider an update for the MD11 model. I feel the external model may need a little update.Emilson.

Hi All,I have owned FSX for a while but FS9 has been my Sim for a number of reasons. Now that 777 and 747 V2 is clearly on the horizon I would like to start building FSX now to be ready for the release.My credit card is smoking! This is what I have bought so far (not including individual airports like UK2000, Aerosoft etc)REX, all the Ultimate Terrain packs, ORBX, ASE, All FS Gen terrain mesh (galaxy membership)Can you guy’s let me know what important add-ons I have missed, also any freeware gems that are hidden away, for example in FS9 I have many minor addons like Stars.dat, soft horizons, sim.dll that all enhance the experience. Also is the latest fsuipc the best fo…

Hello , just wounder if any one can give me a feed back on FSCaptain.............

the dash 8 is mentioned

Sorry if I talk bad english I'm Italian!!!Today I read on the site of Prepar3d that has been released prepar3d Academic $ 49.95 and the professional version $ 199.00.I think that everyone can spend that money on a good flight simulator.I do not remember how much it costs FSX.I say to RSRANDAZZO Commercial Member for PMDG is important that PMDG develops aircraft family for Prepar3d.The future of flight simulation is prepar3d.X-Plane 10 is too low compared to prepar3d.Prepar3d allows you to install all addons fsx.I think that softwaere house produce their products for prepar3d and not for X-Plane 10.Guys you share my consideration?

Taken at the German Fight Simulator conference. I do believe the good Captain is in need of update in the file photo category.

Compliments from, "TheGrunt" over at the A2A Forums.Lockheed Martin has launched a new licensing scheme for their P3D with new 1.3 version release. You can now purchase P3D for just $49.95. So, monthly fee for developers and expensive professional purchase is no longer required.Here is the news announcement:http://www.prepar3d.com/news/lockheed-m ... -students/Here is the info for new 50 buck licence. Home use is now official!:http://www.prepar3d.com/prepar3d-academic/Version 1.3 release notes:http://www.prepar3d.com/prepar3d-versio ... hange-log/ My question is....Might this change PMDG's stance on whether or not to support their addons for P3D?

Hello,I know it is a technical question, but with all the knowledge here I try this forum.If I switch on bloom effect it gives me a great loss of fps.I was wondering. I have a NVIDIA GTX 280. If I change it to a 500 series videocard, does that help getting better frame rates if I want to use bloom effect?I know that fsx is leaning heavily on the processor, but I don't know if the graphical bloom effect is made by the video card.Thanks for helping.Eric

On a STAR/approach chart you are given the minimum safe altitude. What is the radius when not shown. See example below.Thanks,Chris Porter

On an approach plate where it shows the minimum safe altitude around an airfield what is the radius when not shown?Thanks,Chris

EDIT: Nevermind... I found someone who just did the same topic. My bad! :(

Hello guys,I wanted to put this out in the open. I read the thread from Robert about P3D and professional licensing.As of today, P3D is offering a private license for academic use. Home use. 50$.Is PMDG going to rethink their strategy and possibly put a licensing up for the product to be able to use in P3D, in other words, are you going to support P3D with this new licensing scheme?

Just my 2 cents :(

We all are quite exited over all the news we got today.But, is it anyone that have a picture of the release order?Will it be.Dash 8DC6B777747Or will they come in the order that they are mature to come in?Thank you
