PMDG General Forum

I found this article ( see link below ) and wonder what flight simulator experts ( or real world pilots ) are thinking about it ? Especially the onesusing PMDG 747,MD-11 and soon B-737http://www.askthepilot.com/questions-and-answers/#cX-q21Curious to hear your opinions.Hubert Warner

I am hoping that the 73 will have more click able hot spots for pop-ups rather than a switcher window (747). One of my favorite planes is the LVLD 76 and you can click on all the major areas, FMC, overhead and comms, and get a window. It;s just a personal preference I guess. Minor as it may be.

I know PMDG is one of the best in the business, but you forgot to include something very important in the Intercontinental package:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_pJHYMCcXQ&feature=player_embedded:P

Hi,I am just about to start a 777 course and have been doing a bit of pre-course study. Does the 737 NG family have the same electronic checlist system that the 777 uses??? Just wondering if I need to invest in a QRH for the NGX.David

Some upgrades are being performed currently on our server backend. This is affecting things like the support portal and ticket system, J41 activations, and the downloads section of the website. We don't have an ETA at this time for when the upgrades will be complete. Sorry for any inconvenience this might be causing, but it needs to happen in preparation for the NGX release.We'll update this thread when we have more info for you.

Hey guys. This is a question for anyone with real world operations knowledge, hope you can bear some light into this matter :( I was wondering what real world value crews input on the PERF INIT pages of their acft (Boeing models)Last time I had the priviledge to accompany a flight in the flight deck it was a transatlantic T7 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris and Brazil still didn´t have RVSM implemented so we did 4000' step climbs (ICAO)Nowadays however, pretty much every continental airspace I´m aware of has RVSM and I was wondering if crews make their step climbs in 2000' increments. Is this how it´s done in Europe and continental US?Also, I´d like to know how this works in …

OK I give up! The only time I can access PMDG customer support is when I'm buying one of the PMDG products. I'm just recovering from a series of crashes and a complete re-build and as I try to re-load all the programs (the JS-41 in this case) I face passwords that don't work and now too many activations! Whoever wrote that law didn't buy a Vista!Is there someone who can provide me with a link that will steer me to someone I can actually talk to.Thanks,Ken park

Currently there are two issues still ongoing stemming from the server upgrades that happened earlier this week:1. Liveries, service pack and potentially other downloads from the PMDG site not working. Here is the temporary workaround for this until we get it fixed:Right click the link that isn't working and chose "Copy URL Location" "Copy Link Address" or something similar depending on your browser - in this example I'm using the MD-11 FSX service update:Paste the link into the browser address bar - in this case, you get: http://75.126.63.20/file_library/servupd/PMDGMD11_FSX_Update_v1.20.0055.zip Change the IP address "75.126.63.20" to "downloads.precisionmanuals.com"…

I personally have been using MSFS since I was 11 or 12 (way back in 1982/83). Aside from my Father taking me to JFK to see planes landing and taking off as a child, I attribute MSFS for my fascination with Aviation. And now happy to say I've had a successful 20 years in the Aviation Industry which still continues today. Like many of you, I've watched this piece of software morph from a few lines and circles on the screen, to an almost virtual simulated world. This program has been part of my life for the last 28 years and I am not ashamed to admit, have become pretty passionate about it.Recently I came across a post (pinned mind you) on another developer's forum that …

Hi guys,For a reason i am not so sure of, SAS have a lot of thier 737 NG's without winglets.. personally i think it looks very nice, i think i prefer them to none winglets,In your opinion, which do you prefere the look of?go on airliners . net and put this after the net photo/Scandinavian-Airlines--/Boeing-737-883/0988435/L/&sid=eae04e51587912ed5a8565d0230bbee6

Hi PMDG,Just a small question.- I see in some "cockpit vids" that the 737NG can print the ATIS information at a small paper in their own cockpit. Just on simple words: a printing machine in the 737NG cockpit.Comes PMDG 737NGX also with the "printing machine?" It would be sooooo awesome if you can print the ATIS information at a paper instead of pressing the ATC button and thenasking for ATIS.Thanks in advantage!

I see that it has been down for a while and with no idea when it will be back is there another way to get PMDG textures?

Hi,Few days ago, i saw a website link of a B737-800 flight deck video (norvegian company i think) but i'm unable to find it back. Anybody would have it.Thanks and best regardsLmaire

Hello all,I would like to take PMDG on the road when I travel with my laptop.What is involved in setting that up?I read somewhere that permission is needed from PMDG, but I can't seem to locate the proper area on the website.Can someone shed some light on the proper procedure?Thanks,Rob K

Came across the following news article and wondered what, if any, options was being considered by Boeing..http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11886159Your thoughts are welcome...

Hello PMDGWill it only be possible to buy the printed manuals through your webshop or could it be possible to buy them through a webshop located in Europe?I´m asking this question because,when I, living in Denmark, buy things from the US, I have to pay a large fee to import theese goods, approximatly 25 % of the value. I don´t know if this is the case for alle EU countries.Also thinking about the shipping cost and time.RegardsHeino

Hey all,Just curious as to what most of you do in real life aside from this addicting hobby we call flight simulation?I am 27 years old and live in a very small town in Manitoba, Canada, pretty much right where North Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba meet. I farm 3200 acres with dad and two uncles. Last year I bought 400 acres and I rent an additional 350 myself and have been running that 750 acres on my own since 2002. I've been working on the farm (shovelling grain, doing mechanical maintenence and driving heavy equipment) since 1996 when I was only 13 years old.My sister's boyfriend is a pilot for Air Canada, he flies the A320 series and the Embraer jets. He also farm…

Hi.. had disaster yesterday as my PMDG 737- 600/700 snapped in half trying to get it out of the CD case,, is there a way of a replacement.. been looking everywhere for a receipt but cannot find it the only other receipt i have is for the add on download for 737- 800/900ngcan any one advise pleaseDavid Ward

Well I am really upset to say that I'm leaving PMDG, and FSX behind. However I'm pleased to report that this is because CTC have selected me as a Wings Cadet!!Guess I'm not going to have a chance to check out the NGX, atleast for the next two years whilst I'm training. I would love to take my desktop out to New Zealand with me but I think my weight allowance will be sky high! It will be great to see the product released, and I'm sure you guys can supply me with plenty of jaw dropping screenshots and videos.If anyone is interested I'm thinking of starting a blog for people to follow through my training. I will post a link here when I start.Regards,

This is driving me nuts.... :( I just know that NGX things are close. What with all the server mods going on etc.There's two new payware releases that I REALLY want, but I just know if I drop the plastic on 'em, the NGX will then appear. I just know it :( Oh such problems.... Woe is me :(
