PMDG General Forum

I went over to the site and tried to purchase the extended download service but I couldn't.I mean I picked my EDS (747-400x)and clicked checkout and it told me the cart was empty.Am I missing something ?ThanksVic Nucera

I already posted this in the MoBo, Hardware & Video section of the forum with no results and thought I'd post it here in hopes that someone can give me a little insight into more refined settings for the control assignments, sensitivities, and other fine tuning tips you might be able to share so I can get my PFC Column Yoke & Jetliner rudders up and running to halfway replicate as much as possible the inputs & sensitivities of the real 737NG/FS9 &/or the MD-11 / FSX.....If anybody has that kind of experience, I'd appreciate it if you would share some of it with me. Also, does anybody have the GOFlight throttles, and if so, how do you like them or what wou…

Hi, The 4th of januari i bought your J41 from your webshop. When I should activate it I

So I am painting the PMDG 747 and a thought came to me. In future or current paint kits, it would be awesome to have an image of all the paint kit files pointing out locations like for example on the Engines I always get confused which side is the "left" side and which is "right" side. It would be awesome to have a simple jpeg or simple picture with arrows pointing and telling you specific details about it. Maybe I should remember :) I never remember and then I have to guess.This suggestion would probably help us beginners out here a bunch but probably not the experts.Taylor Oldham

Hello, i am looking to upgrade my machine and am I am wondering which will perform better. Is a video card upgrade or a cpu upgrade more effective. Below are my specs.Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Quad Core Processor <LI>Asus P5N-E Motherboard <LI>(8GB) DDR II 800MHz PC6400 Memory <LI>250GB 7,200 RPM SATA2 Hard Drive <LI>22X DVD

hello Folks, a happy new year to all. In order to accommodate FSX i did a clean install and upgraded my pc with Intel core i7 920 and a Asus P6T with 6GB DDR3 and with Windows7, this was done by a reputable computer centre locally. i installed FS9 into folder C\program files(x86)\microsoft games\microsoft flight simulator 9. everything appeared to be ok checking the hard drive for the installed data. when i booted up FS9 the following box appeared with the message "scenery.cfg.file error area.038" click to continue, which i did, but the default Cessna was positioned not at Seattle but at a lat.long. entry and opened up at a location which looked like a desert. at this ti…

For every payware ive bought I have always saved the download file to save me having to re-download it so when I get a new computer I dont have to download it all but just get a USB and transfer it to my other pc? Am I aloud to do this with PMDG, as I am yet to buy id rather know before purchase.

Guys , I don't know where I am going wrong here , but I have still not received any download links despite 2 requests ..I can find no replies via email or in my spam folder ... If I am doing something wrong please advise as I would like to install the products on the new PC asap ... the links need to be sent to my private email as specified on the email request to [email protected] .

We need a PMDG-quality bizjet for FS! Nobody has ever done the king of business jets: the Gulfstream V.-John

I'm Interested in buying some PMDG products for FSX but I am not sure If my computer can handle such extensive detail. On the product page for the PMDG Jetstream 4100 it says that there is an option called "frame rate optimization" and this makes it possible for it to work on "relatively low end PCs". When you say relatively low-end PCs what exactly do you have in mind? Could I run any FSX PMDG products on my computer?my computer specs:FSX SP2processor: intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @ 2.1 Ghz.Memory: 4.00 gigabytes of ramOS: windows vista service pack 2 64 bitgraphics card: Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS 128MBJustin M.

Hi all,If I want to check and find what PMDG version I have on a particular product, rather it be the 747-400, 737NGs, or the MD-11, where do I go to find that?Ken Manning

Hello everybody,I'm not sure where that topic belongs, but I'm almost certain that it is neither here nor that it can be helped anyway... Buying the PMDG 744 was the first step of mine to get a bit closer to the as-real-as-it-gets stage of FSX. In addition, signing up to Vatsim, updating my FMC and obtaining charts from Navigraph were even more important in that respect.But, here comes what I feel to be very, very disappointing and annoying:- the FSX internal data does not (at least in most cases) match the charts, be it parking positions, taxiways or even runways - one example could be EGSS (Stansted), which even with UK2000 Scenery has runways 5 and 23 instead of the ch…

Yes, that old one again i'm affraid.Could someone please explain how to add airports and navaid info into the PMDG database (if, indeed it's possible that is)?The airports in question do appear in the 'airports.dat' file in the PMDG navdata folder, but not in any of the other files there.Many thanks for any help

Hi: Im having dificulties to follow the altitude (vertical) signal from the ILS, not having the same response as with the horizontal signal.Im trying to get both at around 6.000 feet. Am I to high? Or too low? Or should I modify something in the program?On the other hand at 4000 feet I have noticed Im too near from the field.Any help or your experience on the matter.Thanks, flacs

May I suggest the signature rule appear at the top of all pages?Currently the rules have poor visibility only appearing at the bottom of the main page and not appearing in any other category page.I foresee this as being very allusive to newcomers and easily missed.

HelpMatthias

Does anyone know of any delays with these as I have sent a couple of emails over the past 48 hours to '[email protected]' and have had no responseRegardsAndrew Norris

Hey guys - have a look at this: Looks like X-plane may be starting to catch up in terms of visual models.I was wondering what the guys at PMDG and the PMDG supporters (myself included) think about the features on this plane. My favourites have to be: 1) The dimming lights and the quality of the lighting in general2) The quality of the displays and monitors and the way they interact with the light3) The quality of the 3d objects - everything looks so crisp and sharp in that cockpitThe co-pilot is a nice feature as well!!Would be interesting to hear what you think and PMDG's opinion on how they think this will compare to the forthcoming 737NGCheersNeil Riddell

just a glimpse of even the landing gear strut? just to see how they are coming along of course..

Hi all,I use FSC (8.3) for flight planning. The weather that i get when i choose to download often varies from that of the jeppessen stuff in FSX. Does anyone know how to make it so they are 1 and the same source?

Hello, Do you guys plan on making these two planes in the future? I know there are no addons for the 717 and Saab340 for fsx except for the Perfect Flight 717. (Which as you guys may know isnt very bad) I know you guys "Have your plate full" but im curious to know on what you think of these two planes and if you guys would look into making them.-thank you

Hello, I was wanting to know if anyone knew or couldfind out the delivery routes that Boeing uses to deliver aircraft to specific airlines.thanks, Christian
