PMDG General Forum

I was just wondering if there are future plans for A380 or Boeing 787 for both fs9 and fsx. I was young and dumb when I bought the abacus 787 and the afs a 350. Do not waste your money on that. Also how hard is the fmc. How many hours would I need to master it. I have the pmdg products but not used them yet. Have a couple of days off now to invest some time into it. Thanks guys. Wonderful pmdg products.

hi,im new on this forum,i need some advice on what type of mcp /autopilot to purchase. i would be mostly flying the pmdg 747x or the leveld 767 in fsx.ive being looking at couple of them especially the goflight mcp-pro but this one cannot interface with pmdg 747x as yet but a company is working on it.i also looked at opencockpits mcp.any help to let me know what others feel about these mcp's.glen

I hope this is the right place for this. Is there someone who can convert my personal livery for my VA from FS9 texture to the DX5 textures for FSX. I am unable to convert them. Ken

I'm sure this sort of question is tiresome, so I'll be brief. Several years ago, I jumped ship to Mac. This, of course, meant that I almost entirely stopped using FS. Now, though, I'm preparing to buy a new Mac. Thanks to the wonders of the Intel transition, I plan to get back into it, and experience the wonders of that gorgeous 747 I've been drooling over for years. My question is this: with the specs below, would the 747 perform tolerably with reasonable detail in FSX, or should I stick with FS9 (since I haven't touched it since FS2K, that would still be a step up for me).iMac 24"3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM500GB 7200 rpm SATA driveGeForce 8800 GS 512MB GDD…

I need help how to activate the E/O CLB - if available at all - in the B744 FMC climb operation with the ENG OUT > LSK button as it is mentioned in the FMC user manual. It seems to be always hidden.Thanks Janos

Hi, my name is DavidI have just installed 737NG, for some reasons, my MCP, Flight Instruments, Engines and APU display is a flat black screens, no idea why. But everything else appears to be working fine except the above mentioned displays, what do i need to do to fix this? I have a Triple2Go/ 3 monitors.I appreciate your help, thanks

And the future is BIG SCREEN- preferably a 42-48" 1920x1080 HD TV/Monitor! No more multiple monitors, no more bezels, no more panning and zooming to see and use different gauges/controls on the flight deck!Have a look at these screenshots from a 19" 4:3 monitor. Now visualize them enlarged and STRETCHED laterally on a 48" HD TV. Just a seamless 135

On the ND Mode Panel there is a button with the letters FVP. The manual describes it as: "Flight Path Vector (FPV) Switch (momentary action)PUSH

Hi,Still a newbie, I guess...I have flightplans programmed into the FMC, and everything works smoothly. But it gets late, I save the flight and the next day I want continue where I left. But when restarting the flight from the save point I cannot get the FMC to track the course again... LNAV means I start heading back to the take-off airport. Suggestions welcome, thx./ aro

I don't know how to see the elevator-trim position at B1900C when use virtual cockpit, nor I can find any FS9 key/command to set trim to neutral. It is a problem when take off a second time without reset the flight.Is there any indicator by default, or is ther any simply freeware trim-indicatior ?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has TrackIR Pro and uses it with their PMDG aircraft? I am seriously considering purchasing it and want to know if it is worth the money. Does it have any impact on FPS at all? Is it difficult to use and/or set up? Any other information would be highly appreciated.Regards,

When making a flight plan I normally insert intersections manually. Lately (6 months or so) I come upon the following. From the FS9 I pick intersections that can also be seen in Fs Navigator. When I try to input in FMC some intersections shows up as "not in database". I probably need update for the PMDG but where?

I only now realized that I haven't seen Lefteris replies for quite a long time and also noticed that he has started Flightsimlabs. Does that mean he is totally out of the picture. To be perfectly honest, to me Lefteris seemed unreplacable to PMDG being the lead technical developer (I think) and also being around for so long. That is of course doing unjustice to the rest of the crew and my first feeling - PANIC!!! - is I suppose a slight overreaction. :D Still, I was surprised to realize this since I haven't read about it anywhere. Or have I missed something?

Hello guys, today i purchased the PMDG 737NG for fs9. I have a problem however, the VC is not clickable. I have both FSX and FS9 on the same computer. Q6600ATI X1900XT4GIGs memoryWindows XPPlease help me.Thanks. R.B

Could someone confirm the Jettison still works after the update? I'm flying online OMDB - ZSPD and need to divert to VECC.I've done it many times before1. bring up fuel synoptic2. select Jettison A or B3.select both nozzles then turn fuel to remain knob I should then see green flow lines in the lower synoptic and jettison time?Rob

Hi,I have the 747X on Win XP SP3. The First Officer's PFD always displays the barometer reading as 29.92, no matter what the Captain's (and ATC's) reading is. "B" does not change the F/O display. Starting cold and dark, from a saved flight, or many other variations does not "fix" this. It's moderately annoying because the altitude is always wrong on the F/O side. Has anyone else seen this? PMDG ops and this forum did not turn up anything useful. I don't load or save panel states as I haven't figured out what they are for (yet).Thanks in advance,dan davison

HeyaI am pretty new to here!I have got a problem with PMDG 744Xthe problem with when taxing a fleet on taxiway and when turns airplane neither left, or right the nose wheel itself wouldnt moveit used be working with Windows XP somehow after installed Windows Vista, and it occuring a problem ####...is anyone have simular problem if you do please need a help ofcourse I am willing to show some more specific detailCheers

Before I begin, let me just say that this event never happened, and hopefully never will. Any similarities are coincidental. When you are finished reading the story please post your opinion. Ive read a few of these types of threads before and am wondering what the PMDG pilot thinks.----------You are waiting in line to check-in at San Diego for your flight to Baltimore. You are visiting your brother (or sister or mother...well you get the point) for 3 days over the July 4th weekend. You check-in, pass security, and take a seat at the gate. About 20 minutes before you board, N201LV pulls up to the gate. N201LV is a brand new 737-700 just delivered to Southwest a few weeks a…

Hi,I got the pmdg 737-800 today but when I engage the v/s or any other vertical mode with a/p, the aircraft violently trims up. Even when I set the trim myself before engaing the a/p, it always sets it to full trim up.Also, the a/t speed mode won't keep the correct speed, it always brings the n1 to flight idle.Please anyone help!Kind RegardsJonathan

I posted this in Hanger Chat and received one reply, which I am interested in confirming. So I am hoping to tap into the expertise here.I saw the following flightplan at Flightaware yesterday:UPS 9901 KSDF - KSDFMYS V49 BNA HSV D2+30 RQZ EWO IIUI was guessing some kind of training flight, as I saw multiple aproaches, although it was tough to figure out if there were actual T&G's.Anyway, my question was what does D2 mean? The respondant guessed it meant after the HSV VOR proceed direct to the 30-degree inbound radial of the RQZ VOR. This makes sense to me.So, is that it, "D2" is abbr. for "diect to?"

Hello. In my PMDG 737 series I'm having trouble installing the textures. Here is the problem. Just today I downloaded a Delta 737-700 winglets plane for the PMDG 737. So once it downloaded I moved the texture folder into the PMDG 737-700 winglets folder. I then updated the aircraft.cfg and believe me. Everything is 100% correct, i've checked it over like 80 times and everything is exactly how it shold be. Anyway, when I open FS and go to my PMDG to select it, the planes is not there and just to be safe I checked all the models but still no luck. Now I can use your installers really easily but when I try to manualy install addons from like avsim most do not work. I have go…

Hi I have been flying my new Ryanair 737-800 around but have a problem with the PFD. The planes good to go, FMC set up flaps set etc etc but there's red dots all down the airspeed speed tape until the aircraft is cleaned up, and again when landing once you start putting the flaps out, the same thing. It makes it awfully hard to see the flap bugs and ref etc, any ideas?Liam Mallon

I have started to experiment with different thrust settings via the FMC and 3rd party performance/calculation tool.No problems really but I wondered if the FMC thrust logic is working ok because at some point in the climb the EICAS readout changes from , say, CLB 2 to CLB and this is without any pilot intervention.Presumably the reduced climb operates up to some pre determined altitude or to a point just prior to Cruise mode?Nigel Thomas

Hi can anyone help me.
