Hi,PMDG wedsite seems to be down. Would they be installing the J41 on their website :( ?......L'maire

I keep getting the following error message with my 747 while installing it: Feature transfer error. Now I've looked everywhere but all the solutions haven't worked. I going to call support now and try to ix it.

Hi guys, ive not long been flying from the vc and ive just had a flight in the 737-800 and noticed a blank screen in between the two fmc's. Could someone please tell me if this screen has a purpose and what it is,Thanks as alwaysChris

Flying the 744 recently I had an ELEC AC BUS 3 failure. I tried to reset it without success. One of the results was the autothrottle disconnecting and I was unable to reengage it. The QRH refers to the A/T being inoperative if BUS 4 fails but BUS 3 is not mentioned specifically. Does anyone know if it is possible to reengage the A/T after a BUS 3 failure and if so how?

How to enter a DME waypoint in 737/747 FMC? eg: D8.5 CKG VOR as shown on the chart, how should i enter this?ThanksJacky Yeung

The aircraft load manager for the 737 NG has tabs for the 800 and 900 but they don't do anything. So I looked into the .ini file only to find it has no entries for these two aircraft. Anyone got any ideas about this? I have emailed PMDG several times but heard nothing back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.CheersChris

Once again I am going to the Air Races this year. Every year in Stead ( reno area, Rob's Hometown) they have these. The blue angles will be there demo-ing there stuff, and I believe Rob and his race team will be there as well as they usually are. ---Perhaps He could comment for us here with details. It might be nice to see Ryan there someday also as he is the one of the team members I have yet to meet. Hope to see some PMDG pilots there also. Perhaps we could all have a beer.Peter Osborn

Hi!I recently installed the PMDG 736/700/800/900 and i've got an problem with it.when i start a flight with either of the aircraft, and then i turn the BAT on+ APU all of the screens in the plane are staying black (including the FMC and all of the displays on the MCP)i tried to reinstall the planes few times but it had no effect...so what is the solution to this problem?best regards,MichaelP.S. sorry about the bad English, it is not my mother language :(

Good morning everybody... Did anybody try to read the FMC CRZ ALT on B737NG successfully? I "FSinterrogated" the addresses of V1,VR,V2 but I did not recognize the CRZ ALT entered on the CDU:-(Regards

Ok its me again, The guy that shows you what the problem is instead of writing it. please watch the video

does registered fsuipc come with PMDG 737-800/900 and if so will/does it show up on the FS menu?Thanks,Chris

Hi!! I fly the MD-11 and i want to know what kid of tests i can do on my preflight inspection in the cockpit? I already know the fire warning test, overspeed and EVAC test. Can i make more?Best reguards Martin Pedersen.

Hello everybody, just want to know which joystick would work best with the PMDG 737, also can anybody tell me how can I set trim and A/T on the 737, Throttles don't show the A/T button and trim is not usuable on control wheel, also is there a way to move both throttles at the same time?, thank's

Hi Guys - Will the new 737 and J41 have a CD version available?Iv always bought the CD's rather than downloads, as im not sure how download purchasing works. Do you have to activate the software each time? How many times can i activate before i need to buy it again? What happens if i need to reinstall my operating system?Thanks for your help.

Hi there all,I was wondering if it is normal for the FMS to show cruise speed at .8.2/.8.3mac at 350,000ft Alt as it's top speed.butWhen i look at the speed ribbon on the flight panel in the primary flight display it shows it is no way near it's max speed. to get to 320 at 350,000ft i need to put in a woppin .9.0mac in the FMS. is this right?what i am trying to say is that if i wanted to travel at 320 indicated in the PFD at 350,000ft i need to enter .9.00mac in the FMS. i am not sure if this is standard procedure or not.thank you for your time.fletch.

I have got myself confused about which 737 models I have. It's a while since I flew the 737, since i got excited about the 747, then the 747F and then the MD-11. But the other day i wanted to 'trade down' in size a bit and fly the great 737. My takeoff roll went for 4 miles past the end of the runway, through houses and trees, and since i was flying on VATSIM with a couple of other aircraft waiting for my takeoff, i gave them cause for mirth!So I obviously forgot to set something, but in the course of trying to figure out what i had done wrong, I discovered there are some service updates i haven't applied. That's when i got confused. What updates do i need?…

dear PMDG teamall your products are great and bringing so much life into FS.scince the MD-11 is out it's almost the only aircraft i'm flying with.the main reason for this is the outstanding refueling option within the runnung simulation that the PMDG MD-11 is offering!would it be possible to create a tool (maybe as a seperate add on to buy) that can do the refueling for your other products (or at least for the 747) the same way as it works for the MD-11 with the correct refueling logic etc. during the running simulation?that would be really great!

I am posting a new topic, in the hope to draw PMDG's attention to this problem. Dan, I hope, I can give you some more details on the FMC problem, that causes FSX to freeze when changing an approach in the FMC. So, here is what I responded in threadhttp://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...p;hl=freeze+FMCHi Dan, hi all,Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same problem as described in this thread. Dan, as I don't know what information you are really looking for, here is a summary of what I have done.1. I have planned a flight from YMML to NTAA using the following route YMML DOSEL7 Y59 SY G595 TAF NTAA with NCRG as an alternate. I copy/pasted this string to FSBuild or FSC…

I have a multi PC cockpit built with seven ninteen inch monitors (and computers) for 180 degree view and one computer with two 19 inch LCD exclusively forming the Main instrument panel(MIP). The PCs are networked and use WidevieW software. Presently I only fly default aircrafts of MSFS 2004. I have a query specific to the Main Instrument Panel before I buy the PMDG 737 /747. In order to make myself clear I will mention the existing arrangement with MSFS MIP panel and compare the same with PMDG aircraft MIP panel.For the purpose of forming the Main Instrument Panel with MSFS aircraft, I undock the main instrument panel resize and stretch it to fill the two 19 inch TFT. Thi…

Captains-As promised a bit earlier today with our "Sneak Peek" (you didn't tell anyone, did you?) we also want to give you a bit of information on what we anticipate this product looking like when it rolls out to you (hopefully) next month!The PMDG BAe JetStream 4100 is a highly detailed, feature-rich study simulation of this modern commuter turboprop. From the early planning stages, our intent with this product has been to add a complex turboprop simulation to our growing stable of airliners, while using the development process to design, test and implement new technologies that can then be transferred to our larger airliner products. (more on those in a moment...)(Oh…

Could it be possible to start a presale to BAe Jetstream 4100 in the next few days ?? I go to your site allmost every day to se the release status, and it would be greate to bye it now and then wait for a mail with the download link...

Hi All, I'm just a newbie with 747 for FS9, running on W7 64 bit. (All installed under Admin privileges)The EICAS pop up doesn't shows any other pages but ENG. The rest STAT, ELEC, FUEL, ECS, HYD, DRS & GEAR just don't show if I click on them (and hear the click). Same 2D and 3D view.Any ideas.? Thanks in advance and best regards from SpainPaco GALINDO------------------EDITED / SOLVED----------------LOWER CRT was in EICAS PRI... so not showing anything... Paco (just a newbie) :(

After reading through the other post here "737 takes ENTIRE runway to Rotate....", in this forum and thinking on the many jet aircraft I've bought over the years for FS9 I've come to the conclusion that FS9 in some cases doesn't model thrust correctly. I've read through the posts here about how long it takes the PMDG 737NG to get into the air with all kinds of explanations. Bottom line is PMDG entered the correct engine values but FS9 doesn't model those values correctly. I use KMDW as a marker and it shouldn't take the 737NG the length it does to get off the ground. With PMDG's normal engine settings I use almost all the runway with a jet that's not overweight and h…

I EXPORTED FLIGHT PLAN FROM FS BUILDTO PMDG FLIGHTPLAN FOLDER WHICH WORKED OK. BUT WHEN I INSTALL AIRPORTS TO FMC NO FLIGHT PLAN APPEARS ON SCREEN. AM I DOING ANTHING WRONG. CAN ANY ONE HELP.

Hello,I plan buying a PMDG 747 -400 by internet down load although it is available in CD alsoJust wondering ... what happens in case of crash /formatting of hard disk on a later date and the down loaded software is gone... I mean, can I download the software from PMDG site again OR Can the downloaded software at the first instance be backed up in a CD and reloaded when required. Is there any difference between the CD and net down load version of softwareRegards,Dinesh
