PMDG General Forum

Just curious if anyone has the time to produce a few more of those great litte videos? I know I certainly enjoy watching them. I seem to see something interesting every time a watch one. My favorite so far is the night cockpit. Wow!Ray

Hello,I am looking at a good throttle for FSX. I already have a Logitech Extreme 3D pro which is I think one the best joysticks around (good resistence, not too loose like the X52 or G940 which have been using both in the past). Now I am just looking at throttles and am hesitating between the Saitek and CH products ones ?Thanks, Greg

First time I've ever gotten that error message.I decided to load FSX to play some multiplayer with a friend and that's what I get while FSX loads. After clicking on "OK" FSX then happily crashes.My system:Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad @ 2.4GHz4GB DDR2EVGA nVidia GTX 560 TiEVGA nVidia 8800 GTS (for second monitor and tv output..)Windows 7 Professional (x64)FSX did run with the GTX 560 before, I have no idea what has changed.Anyone have an idea as to what could be causing this?

IVAe. i have all the last datas.... been using it for months without a problem and since today 10.00z it doesnt work. my computer doesnt crash i just have this BLANK box when the soft try interpretating dowloaded datas. connected via port 80.I did many reinstallations but nothing changedKaman BA

Hi All,When I took my IFR checkride around KPHX (by the way AZ is the worst place to get IFR training, need to go to CA for clouds and IFR conditions) the designated examinaer (DE) introduced me into a stacked holding pattern, commonly used at high density airports (KLAX, KJFK, KORD, etc). Essentially, upon entering a highly stacked holding pattern outside the airport each aircraft stepped down one level in the stack until it was their turn to shoot the approach. Does anyone know if the PMDG 737NG FMS will stimulate this downstepping in the holding pattern automatically or will the hold be consistent but the step wise drop down the stack will be manual via MCP? Anyway, wh…

Hi everyone!i saw in a thread a few weeks ago(i think) by Vcsimone, but i cant find it anymore, he mentioned a application (or webpage) that tuned fsx for the best performance I think, i cannot find it anymore...anyone remember?:-)Thanks for the help/Niklas Eriksson

I am fan of PMDGs flight sim add-ons and I Can't wait for the 737 NGX. I just want to know if PMDG is selling the CD version of the 737NGX because I have a laptop and a desktop, I don't know if I can have them on both computers if I download it. (If you can someone tell me). Im Positive a CD works because I have the CD version of the 747-400X on both of my computers. So It would be nice if there was a CD option. Thanks,

Dose any one know how to turn off the red bakes msg in fsx.any help will be apresiated.

I am considering upgrading my system.I eventually will be getting a new Ivy Bridge CPU when it comes out but for now I am sticking tow hat I have now.--[sPECS IN SIGNATURE] I used to have 1 23 inch Acer monitor but, I decided to upgrade to 3 because of the incredible view aspect. So far with my 5870, I am VERY unhappy with the performance it gives me in FSX.:((Display Driver crashes glitchy drivers etc etc)--The ONLY reason I bought it was because it supported ATI EYEFINITY which enables you to run 3 monitors on a SINGLE GPU. Anyways back to the point:Last year I had the single 23 Acer monitor …

To anyone who knows,I am a Navigraph fan and I recently found that they updated FMC data for add-on aircraft including those made by PMDG. My question is; where is the best place to update FMC data, or does it not matter? Does PMDG update FMC data? I am just curious because according to Navigraph, my FMC is out of date.Thanks,Spencer Hayes

Captains-This is a "good news" and "bad news" post.For years we have made a habit of not sharing much information with you on release dates. So much so that we released the PMDG 747-400 in the middle of the night without any real warning. While we have moved away from that style of news blackout, we are very careful about giving you information on release dates because it seems that *something* always causes them to slide- which creates all manner of drama in the forum...Not 24 hrs ago I updated you to let you know that we are wrapping up the NGX for release. This afternoon I have been advised that Boeing is requesting we hold the NGX release temporarily. The reason f…

Hey Team,Not that I'm trying to jump the gun or anything, since the NGX has not even be released yet, but was wondering about the status of the B-777 you guys are going to do? Has anyone started on it yet? Seems like I remember reading that a lot of techniques that were used to create the NGX are going to be carried over to the 777, thus making the development time actually less strenuous and shorter, is this true? Can we expect the 777 to be another leap forward in realism from the NGX, or will there be similar functionality and 'aesthetics' with it?Thanks and I must say the NGX is looking unbelievable! The only problem is I'm going to have to get a new computer if I'm …

Hello,and again, have the NGX Multiplayer Support for 2 Player´s in one Cockpit?

This happened in my country (Argentina), the aircraft is an I.A. 63 PampaJust wanted to share it with you guys. [url= ][/url]Cockpit view

Hello,I have experienced issues with the PMDG 747-400X and MD-11X FMC, where I type a certain airport's ICAO code in the FMC (To file a flight plan) and the FMC comes up with 'not in database'. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.

I'd rather put this in here instead of the general forum as I usually get a much better response here.Anyway has anybody seen the engine "outerra"http://outerra.com/

Hi PMDG,I have a little Question to set up my PC for the NGX.What is more important that the FSX with the NGX works with a good framerate:The CPU or the Graphic card?I just want to buy the thing that is more important, because i've not so much money at the moment... (just a student)My System at the Moment:CPU: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q8300 " 2.50GHzRAM: 4.00 GBGraphic card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260so now my Question as said: What is at the moment more important for my system, that NGX will work nice? GC or CPU?(sorry for my bad english)Thanks, dear regards,Matthias

Hi,I use squawkbox 4 to connect to vatsim. BUt Im having so much trouble. Partly cause the pmdg 747 wont work with it. Now I cant connect. Can someone tell me there techniques on how to connect. I already went to the vatsim forums and they have not replied yet. What I do is load up the plane into fs and then connect externally. It works but then freezes and then I have to shut it down with task maneger

I've been looking to get a good regional jet simulator. I've got GA covered, and have the MD-11/747 to sort out long haul, and will have the 737 for relatively short/medium range flights after they fix the show stopping bug involving making hydraulic fluid flow at 0.37252356638cm/microsec rather than 0.3725333532 at a temperature of exactly 12.355232999028334C and so forth, however I'd like a good regional jet for the 30 minute to 1 hour flights. I have the JS41, and as it turns out I just am not a huge prop fan for anything that isn't my beloved accusim cub, lancair, or sr-22. Are there any good regional jets out there for purchase? I have an aversion to freeware, si…

Hey all,I have some questions before the NGX will be release. I hold it short and start asking below. If you don't like my questions or like it a nonsense or whatever, don't give a reply or no answer please.I ask the following questions because it is no evident or I don't have enough information about that!Maybe the following questions were asked, but I don't know :Shocked:If it is asked, sorry about that!Question 1. Will the PMDG ngx have a Ram Air Turbine the case of electrical failure? ( maybe I exaggerate but it makes for me realistic) 2. If the RTO brakes are used while take off, will there be a flame out on the wheels or tires after 5 minutes? 3. …

Yo! Sqwaukbox and fsinn don't cut it. Annoyed at VIP planes and many other annoyances. So can you create a program that connects us to vatsim and shows us how the planes should. From what I see you guys squirm around FsX limitations. And I ask you because you appear to have the resources and know how. Don't bash me I'm just a customer requesting something. :)

Found this one on y tube some thing to watch while waitinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlmGKMw-Pww&feature=fvw

Hi there guys,I am obviously a virtual pilot, and I hate flying alone. Other people must be the same way, and so I am suggesting this - I have a Teamspeak 3 server and it has a ton of channels and slots (and I can get more) so why not everyone hang out there? This way anyone can come one and orchestrate flights. Now, you can find someone who wants to fly almost all the time. There is usually at least a few people here, and if people start to join, more are soon to come! So, anyone looking to fly, stop on by!Download Teamspeak 3 from (http://www.teamspeak...?page=downloads)Once it's installed, login by going to Connections -> Connect and using Server Address ts.generati…

Can someone help me? I can't seem to get access to the MD-11 liveries page at the PMDG site. I select downloads, then addon liveries, then FS X & FS 2004 MD-11/F. The only liveries displayed are the 747-8i. No matter what aircraft I select, only the 747-8i is displayed. I have IE9 and at first I could look at all the MD-11 liveries. But in order the purchace the MD-11, I had to revert back to IE8. Since then, I can't view the MD-11 liveries, only the 747-8i liveries. I reinstalled IE9 hopeing this would solve the problem but it didn't. Is the PMDG liveries page partially down, or is there a setting in IE that I have to change. Thanks.
