hii have purchased the weather radar of reality xthe problem that i have is that i can not hide the weather radar pushing the little icon in the left down corner when i use pmdg.in other planes worked perfectly. the problem is that to hide you push shift F9 and when you do that using pmdg the pedestal view opens instead the weather radar.any solution to that?i have seen that somebody had merged this with pmdgthere is any link?Miguel

Hi support,I'm a your 737ng old costumer,and from months I'm asking my self why a so strange selling strategy....I explain,I think that on 100 simulator costumer there are 10 persons that fly 747,30 persons that fly md11 and the rest 60 persons that prefer to fly with 737 or similar medium range aircraft...So there are thousand of persons waiting for NGX....so what are u waiting for to finish it???is there a supposed date of release ?????you know I loved your 737ng fs2004 and is almost 2 years that I'm waiting for NGX....please give some explainingbest regardsLuca Di Francesco

I have recently installed the 747 FSX ..and I can't change the mfd from the app mode..to map ...or plan...and that makes navigation impossible...could someone please tell me what the problem is. thanks

I hope this hasn't already been covered in a previous post but I noticed at the gate after landing I still had smoke or water vapour coming off the centre rear tyre of the MD11. The aircraft was staionary at the time. Is there a fix for this?

Hi All, anyone know how to fix the range display on the 737. The range shown on the ND is always one selection lower than the selected range on the EFIS panelie: 10NM selectd on the EFIS 5MN shown on the ND.Many ThanksTrev

Flying KSEA to KSFO from runway 16L,what should I enter in VOR ARM #4Dilip

Just a question for you on what is the best method to disengage the A/P & A/Ts to hand fly the final approach and landing?I have been a flying Concorde for pretty much my entire FS career and the MD11 is all new to me.Thanks

Can you add fluid to the hydraulic system on the MD-11? I noticed different levels on all 3 systems.Michael Pare.

I have several on your products for FS9. I would like to purchase the 747-400 for FSX but I am concerned about performance on that platform. Is there a way to download a time-limited demo of your planes to test them out before committing to purchase? Thanks.Gianluca

hello, i dont want to beat this subject to death, but i feel that the pmdg 737ng in its present form is a first class aircraft which performs exceptionally well, and i feel that the upcoming version with whatever enhancements it will have should make it even more so, but i am slightly puzzled as to why it is taking so long to develop albeit pmdg already have the original platform to hand. however, like everyone else, i will just have to be patient. richard welsh

Hey guys, just switched from 32 Bit OS to 64 now using all of my 4 gigs of ram :) and FSX is running awesome, I noticed now though that the MD-11 runs alot more sluggish and stutters abnd pops around. I have better equipment now and its running worse I am curious as to the compatibility of the OS Version with the aircraft. Specs Intel Core 2 Duo OC'ed to 4.0Ghz / 4GB Ram / 8800GTX / 750GB Sata 3.0GB/s HD Vista 64 Sp1Just wanted to know if this is even an issue, all other stock FSX planes and CS 757 run well since the conversion.Thanks Angelo Cosma

After my second flight on IVAO with this great MD-11, I feel now OK with most basics operation, direct to WP, descents upon ATC requirements, headings upon ATC vector but there is still one mistery remaining:On approach, belox FL100, the speed remains at 240kts clean or slats extended. I tried to set a speed of 220 kts but it remained 240 kts, a second press on F7 set the flaps at 15

Hi all,I have been trying to get FSC flightplans to load into the PMDG 744 and MD11 without any success. I am getting confusing reports on where to save the plans and how to load them, in fact, when I slect PMDG as the format and slect the flightplan DIR within the PMDG directory nothing seems to get saved?Anyone else have the same issue?

PMDG Boeing 747-400.Due to I started laborate to understand how to count and effect climb gradient up to a level, using FMC as help to include relevant parameters. After a lot of trying settings, I found for me total not explainable behavours.IN SUMMARY:PAGE TAKEOFF REF L1: FLAPS 10/905FTFMC indicate speed/alt 176/9657 after 20nmPAGE TAKEOFF REF L1: FLAPS 10/900FTFMC indicate speed/alt 327/13887 after 20nmHOW STRANGE ??? MAJOR change in climb gradient just by change flaps retract by 5 FT.Repeatable by change PAGE TAKEOFF REF L1: 10/905FT > 10/900FT > 10/905FT repeated. Repeatable by restart FS.Can anyone explane this behavour, why is 900FT magic and how can possible…

Can someone explane to me what this could be?the one with the blurry stripe in the midlle is the cockpit view.

Hi!After setting an engine failure to occur after Vr, engine #1 failed accordingly and I was climbing at V2 with my THR Limit in TO mode. Approaching 1500ft AGL, the engines spooled back to CLB THR Limit and I quickly opened the MCDU where I could confirm E/O. This action however didn't change the THR Limit so I selected the LIMITS page and tried to line select MCT but it didn't work - THR LIMIT remained in CLB mode. I could not select any other mode either - CLB was "latched": As I was at MTOW and wasn't accelerating in level flight, I disengaged ATHR and tried to firewall my thrust levers but they returned to CLB THR! The only solution I found was to select the ALTN FAD…

Hey guys,I had an engine 3 failure today, and noticed the following message:AP1 PITCH TRIM INOP. USE AP2However, AP1 continued to function normally. I was also amazed at the engine out handling qualities of the airplane. It was hardly noticeable that I had lost the #3 engine. Is this because of RCWS?On an unrelated note, after shutdown on a recent flight, I noticed the EPR readings were all 0.90. I don't quite understand all the physics behind it, but I thought the EPR only fell below 1.00 in the descent. Can somebody explain this please?ThanksPaul

Hi allI had a compute disk crash and I had to re-install window and FS I am the owner of B737NG 600 700 800 900 and B747 and Beechcraft.I cannot reinstall these so what do I do to have a copy from PMDG?Thanks

Hello, Where can I find the opportunity to change the color of the two parties?To the left engine is in the file PMDG_MD11_PW_Engine_left, but for the right engine?Thank you in advance for your answerPatrick

For over a week, I am working on a possible solution for the OOM errors (and several .dll errors aswell). I might have found the solution, but to be sure it is working, I need some additional tests to be done.First I would like to describe the solution:During my search for the best way to prevent the errors, I came by the VOZ forums. There a Dutch guy (nickname Uhu_Fledermouse) posted a while ago a link to Flight Sim Manager in the AVSIM library. I downloaded the file here and an additional date fix here. For the work arround concerning the installation I am quoting Uhu_Fledermouse on the VOZ forum:When you install FSM you do need to set the date back to before Nov 2006, …

Hello Simmers i just wanna know whats a proper way or the procedure to divert to an airport that is not part of a flight plan? I was flying the PMDG747 and i was confused on how am i able to search for an airport for alternate. i would appreciate your help.Rajiv Murjani

Can anyone at PMDG (or indeed anyone at all!) say why, in FS9, when I run Process Monitor I get page after page referring to a 'NOT FOUND' registry entry for the PMDG 747? I do not have, nor ever have had the PMDG 747 installed (though I do have the 737NGs).I have tried entering a dummy key in the registry to avoid this, but to no avail, FS9 just searches for some other PMDG 747 subkey. I am not sure if this is eating into resources the way a 'NOT FOUND' bmp file does (probably not) but it's a bit of a mystery why FS9 constantly searches for an aircraft that exists but has never been on my PC. I'd like to solve this if possible.A screenshot is here:http://img.photobucket.…

Hi to all,It would be nice (thanks to the good failure generator of the B744) in a future upgrade patch to have some new failures added like:- the possibility of a rapid cabin depressurization (and also the fact that opening the doors cabin should be depresurizing at once now nothing happens when you open a door);-the possibility of controls failures like:jammed stabilizer, flaps/slats partial extended/blocked etc;a most realistic flaps primary failure in case of two or three hydraulic system failures;some landing gear issues like: nosegear not down or locked etc;some engine problem by birdstrike etc.Would do you think about my ideas I think that only this wonderful PMDG…
