PMDG General Forum

Hi there PMDG supporters and ownersI'm a fan of Flight Simulator era for some long years, and considering those long years of flying trough the virtual world , i see the beautifull development of PMDG and so others 3rd Part Add-ons companies.This question ( better, this simples request ), came to me when looking for some challenging to fly.I really can't find a decent L1011 Tristar and Airbus A310 for FSX , not on your line of quality, and not even close to my high ( and a lot of other FS pilot's) standards.The question is....can you consider making one of those ? Think about it, those planes are on the way to the scrapyard.... :( you wouldn't probably have a chance to d…

I need Multicrew. It's not here therefore makes me sad. New planes are cool but a fs revolution is cooler.

Well I just bought Tongas Fjords to go along with my orbx pfj and pakt so I think my first flight will be from PAKT to PASI, and from there who knows, so much scenery to explore, but will definitely be staying in and around that area for a bit.

Recently I had to open an alternative mail account to get a support ticket to go through because of the problem with at&t, Any body know if they got that resolved yet, I want to delete my temporary mail account , Having a bad experience with hotmail and i want to stop using it. I signed up and from my hotmail account I sent a message to my at&t account just to make sure my new account was working ok and suddenly all my e-mail contacts that i have with my at&t account starting getting unwanted spam from me and I wasn't even sending anything. Maybe I'll go ahead and delete that mail account anyway.

Hello chaps,I know this isn't exacty on-topic, but I have tried elsewhere and haven't really found an answer. I just thought I'd check here that no-one knows the answer.I always used to run my PMDG planes/other ones in FS9 with the main 2D panel on one screen, then undock some other panels (e.g. FMC, lower EICAS etc.) onto another screen, and then enter full screen mode. This never before impacted on my FPS.My specifications are Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, NVIDIA 8600M GT, 4GB RAM.This was with Windows XP 32-bit and 2GB RAM. I have since wiped/clean installed Windows 7 64-bit and upgraded my RAM from 2GB to 4GB. Now, whenever I do this, FS9 (and FSX) seem to grind to just abo…

Hi I just purchased the PMDG model 737-800/900 the other day and just noticed I was double billedI only have 1 order and show my account being billed $69.99 2x..... please take care of the second chargeHere is the information I have that I believe would be usefulmy order # REDACTEDtransaction REDACTEDCard ending in : REDACTEDI will be calling up USAA to correct this issue if not resolved by Thursday the 16th of Febuarary, 2012 or in 36hrsThank youCourtland James Redding

According to Burkhard @simflight forums, Spanair and Malev have ceased operations. The latter after 66 years. Looks like the 1980's all over again.Excuse the spelling in the title, teach me not to put some lights on.

Hello captains, I guess this is for my fellow Sydney siders but I was driving by a storage warehouse in the Sydney suburb of Alexandria and I was surprised to see the fuselarge of a southwest 737 sitting on the ground being cut up. It was minus it's wings, engines and landing gear. I was wondering of anyone know why it's here?. I can only assume its being used as a flight sim although it was nearly the whole fuselage and not only cockpit section. Certainly not something you see everyday. it's very close to my work so I'll try And stop by and see what its all about. Anyone in Sydney interested, it on botany road alexandria. Just before green square train. Station on the l…

BOE236 is inflight drawing the Boeing logo preceded by "787" across the USAhttp://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE236/history/20120209/2100Z/KBFI/KBFI

Hi guysJust curious if Southwest has received any of their planned upgrades to the 737-300 fleet? I read a while ago on Flight Global that delivery was to start early 2011. Is the project still active?See the article below...www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-southwest-launches-737-300-cockpit-upgrade-with-boeing-and-ge-320450/

Additional touches occured on the MD11 and NGX with the ability to do real time refueling and have the option for service based failures respectively. Something I think would make the 777 even better. I am hoping these are implemented. There is nothing better than sitting on the ramp watching the fuel gauges increse in real time. Maybe the funnest thing you can do with your clothes on.

It was mentioned here!!!!!!!!Fantastic news!http://forum.avsim.net/topic/361760-secret-project-1-this-one-is-a-classic/

I have an nVidia GTX 560 Ti. With power management set to maximum performance, I am seeing about 55C running FSX. Is this normal? Does anyone know what "maximum performance" really does to the video card? Although I know that newer video cards are better designed, should I be concerned about ramping my card to such high temperatures?Thanks for your comments!Airbus

Is WGS 84 part of PMDG and FSX? Can locations (with it's gps coordinates) found in google maps be transferred to FMC without inaccuracy? Geir

Hi Guys,Just bought the 600/700 expansion and tried to download however, it says the download link has expired? My little boy is upset now that we cant fly an easyjet!!I will send a support ticket as well, but thought I would try here also :)

Read somewhere you will start test-project for conversion of either the Js400 or NGX. (really hope for the NGX. =))Just want to wish you good luck and it is very nice to see this great company look at X-Plane.The NGX is the best addon i have ever seen in any simulator, but i like X-plane better than fsx. Maybe in future we will have both of the best world (in my opinion, no fsx vs x-plane thread please).For all us X-Plane users this is a dream come true!/Sys

Hello captains,Not entirely PMDG related, but yeah I'm only flying PMDG planes... And I'm seeing this stutters in PMDG planes only (because they are recourse heavier than the default ones I guess...)I got a Crucial M4 128 GB SSD as you can see in my system specs. I totally unexpected, I did notice a performance increase of around 10%. I think that's because my old HDD was only 5400 RPM and that was slowing down my system a lot . Load times did increase around 50%, but it's not lightning fast or something. Windows load up quite fast also, within 8 seconds after the "Starting Windows..." message appears I'm in I'm at the desktop already.After having bought this SSD, I hop…

One of the nicest but simple videos I have seen of a BA 747.[Notice when they load the cargo, that the nose dips]Great photography of a very special aircrafthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=dktWiz7EL-8

Hi guys,I am sitting here packing my stuff and getting ready to move to my new place in Copenhagen and got slightly sentimental when I thought what to do with old games? I just went through the old FS98 and PS1.3 (it's a keeper) and Railroad Tycoon (which doesn't work on Win7.) just to name a few.I've had 3 categories to put things into1) taking it with me.2) throwing it out 3) Putting it in a box and onto my parants loft.Simple question. What do you guys do with old games/programs that build up in your home?Kind regards,

I recently got a new computer and installed most of my aircraft and scenery but when I tried to install the PMDG 747X I get a message saying to contact PMDG to get a new order number I sent the email and was redirected to the the PMDG support page which i went to but I get this messagePagehttp://36ohk6dgmcd1n...-US/view.html/0MessageThe page or resource that you are accessing is unavailable or an error has occurred.This error occurred at 2/8/2012 10:14:54 PM and has been logged. Please contact your system administrator. Can some one please tell me how to get a new Order number or who to contact to get one.Thank You

I suddenly lost Real World Weather download capability in FSX. Usual "check your internet connection" (which is fine) etc., but wanted to make sure Jeppsen is still up before I start trouble shooting and cause myself more problems..Is it still working normally?Tom Hill

Captains-NOTAM: ALL USERSAs part of our continued system upgrades, we will be conducting some work during the day on 08FEB12 that will require a few systems be taken offline for periods from a few minutes to a couple of hours.These outages will take place between 1700Z/08FEB and 2100Z/08FEB.Affected systems include:- eCommerce- Activation and Licensing- Technica Support PortalIf you attempt to use any of these resources and they are running, it means that we have finished with the updates!In any case- the outages will be concluded by 2100Z/08FEB.We apologize for any inconvenience these outages may cause.

I have the best intel processor the I7 3960X O.C. to 4.3Ghz and a evga GTX 580 Superclocked.The processor is liquid cooled and when i film a fsx video in scenery i can not film towards the the actual scenery because i only get 11 FPS. I see videos on youtube that have the settings really high in fsx and they don't have as good as a processor as me and they get better frame rates. I have REX and i use nividia inspector. i dont know how to achive the FPS that they do in scenery and i would like to do that. My complete specs for my computer is in my signature. I was wondering if anybody could help me.

Thats fantastic news to hear about the development of PMDG products for X-Plane 10 !To be honest I'm not really into super complex planes. I just don't have a lot of time to learn how to operate the complex systems. But I will buy what ever you develop just to support the hobby!So my question is, have you ever entertained the thought of developing some GA planes ? A good example of a quality GA plane would be the Real Air Turbo Duke!Regards....

Hello,It is great to hear confirmation that development for X-Plane is going ahead under the PMDG banner. I do wish to ask one question f I may:Will the development include support for the currently stable XP9.7 and XPX? Or will the PMDG products be exclusive for XPX?I fully understand if you folks cannot answer answer this and remains a "tbd".CheersTed
