From www.flightsimlabs.com/"This interface allows owners of Engravity's 737 and 747 CDU hardware to interface their CDUs with the PMDG 747-400X Queen of the Skies for Flight Simulator X. Purchaser must already own and have installed an Engravity 747-400 or 737 CDU in order to use this driver. Requires that the user also have installed the PMDG 747-400X for FSX line of products, along with the latest Service pack."A response is needed, thank you.

Is it possible to use thrust spool in 747x ? i have tried several ways and key comands without sucess , any help would be much appreciated .Joe T

I'm practicing take-offs using the 747-400X PW, taking off from Runway 24 at Schiphol (EHAM). T=15 degreesHeadwind = 8 kts.ZFW = 245.000 kgFuel = 73.000 kgCG = 24%, Trim = 5.8Flaps = 10I've selected a Derated TO-1 at 56 degrees, which results in using up quite a lot of the runway.The moment I push the throttle I also start the chrono:25 seconds: 80 knots called out40 seconds: V1 called out (at 140 knots)44 seconds: Rotate called out (at 154 knots)49 seconds: V2 called out (at 168 knots)63 seconds: Main gear leaves ground, altitude increases (202 kts)68 seconds: Finally at +50 feet (212 kts)So, while it just takes 5 seconds from VR to V2, it takes 24 seconds from VR to the…

I am curious to know why the engine spool timings were adjusted in SP 2.1 so that they are now less realistic? At thrust reduction it takes nearly 5 seconds for the engines to spool down and the time delay now triggers 4 x EICAS warnings for N1 limits.What was the reason for this?Regards,Martin Neep

Hi Everyone,I know this has been beaten to death and I posted on this in the FS2004 section. I wanted to add a link here though, as I know this has been of great concern to PMDG users, myself included. Just some observations and a possible fix for those who may have had unbearable stuttering after applying the 3GB switch.Here you go.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho..._id=48718&page=Regards,Jeff

Hi guys,I've got a flap sound for the 737 which I'd like to use with the PMDG 737 panel, along with the flap handle.The retraction/extension sound can usually be heard from the cabin.However this seems to more tricky than expected.I edited the sound.cfg accordingly, but the sound is repeated like 10 times although the flap setting is already reached.I also operate a flap sound on the Level-D 767, all I can say is it works perfectly, meaning that the sound immediately stops as soon as the flaps are retracted/extended.I'd like to achieve this with the PMDG 737.Any help is appreciated.Regards,

Here's the situation.I was cruising at flight level 350, VNAV and LNAV enganged holding altitude to the foot, holding the plan on ND to the nm, just enjoying the scenery(thanks to ground environment an Flight environment). All of a sudden I get an overspeed, take a glance at the airspeed indicator and notice 350knots AND CLIMBING. I click the speed button on the MCP to see if it would do anything but doesnt do to the fact that im in vnav mode. after a while i realize that vnav was not holding my speed, but i myself was controlling the speed for some reason, even being in vnav.Anyone run into this or know what's ghoing on. Thanks, much appreciated.

hi all, I have been happy landing with the ILS using the 737ng 600-900 without any problems. However, i loaded a flight from KORD-KEWR using airac charts 0807. For change i tried a landing at KEWR rw4r cat11 and all the parameters were in place, speed 140kts, LOC ILS and G/S all captured, but when i selected the second A/P the yellow box on the PFD remained at single channel and the second A/P failed to light. where have i gone wrong. any help will be appreciated.richard welsh

Hello All, I just installed everything into my vista machine and am getting annoying tip pop up windows even though I have tool tips turned off in FS2004, I can't find a location within PMDG that would turn these off or on, could someone point me in the right direction.TanksAndy

When I start a new flight with PMDG the baro seems to set itself to 22.15 and I cannot change it. Any ideas ?Brian HallKIAD

Greetings,I'm posting on the slim chance that anybody knows of an Air Uk repaint for the NG a la this one:http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-UK-Leis...next_id=1065511I know they only used up to 734's but I'm hoping that somebody loved this livery as much as I did and painted their 737 in it. I've spend a lot of hours trawling now defunct links on google and can't find one. Any help very much appreciatedGeorge Tyrrell

Hi I installed update 1.2 for the fs9 747-400 and have lost vhhx airport in the fmc,'not in database'.I use airac 0608.In blind panic I performed a system restore in xp but on starting the sim the 747 hung during loading of the airac and I got the 'fs9 has encountered a problem' etc message .So I then undid the system restoration previously performed and the aircraft loaded as normal but obviously still showing 'not in database' for vhhx.Does the update change something in the airac which could have caused this? ,or is there a simple solution I could try to get vhhx back into the fmc.any help gratefully receivedregards Jim

Hello all.Today I added the above mentioned update and have a problem with TCAS.If I turn off 'show all traffic' I lose all TCAS markers, even if I switch between ABOVE/N/BELOW there's nothingI am now having to run in 'show all traffic' in order to get any TCAS markers.I am using the FSUIPC option with a max range of 100.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers.Mark.

Slightly OT, for which I apologise, but isn't this beautiful? I totally dig the aesthetic.http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightbl...ngletted-7.html

Hi,I think this question could sound stupid, but can you please tell me where to find the differences between the FS9 and FSX versions?ThanksLorenzo

Hi,Well, the journey starts. Got my disk partitioned, FSX loaded and just loaded the PMDG "big girl" via dvd, and am about ready to f l yQuestion: where do I find the ops manual? from the dvd somewhere or from the precision manuals site? I had a search on this site, but could not see the answer.

A number of guages for the 1900C are missing in FSX because they were aliased to FS9 aircraft. Has anyone found/created a fix by changing these to FSX guages? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

HelloI have valid licenses for:737 NG (737600, 737700, 737800, 737900); and 747 Queen of the Skies for FS9.The 737 has a been a fixture on my system since 2003 and the 747 since 2007.Having just been forced to install a new GDD I have reloaded the 737base files and been advised I have to register within 10 days.I checked all my documentation and after following the instructions to go to http://www.precisionmanuals.com/license/register.htm I get a bad link error message.I have what the instructions tell me is the required info i.e. the computer generated code, the OrderID and password on the purchase docs but am unable to work out what to do next.Help would be greatly appr…

Hi all, just a thought, i was reading up on CAT11 and CAT111 approaches and the book read, do not autoland on a runway that is not cat11 cat111 capable, thats understandable, i fly the b737ng and on entering the fmc dep/arr page the arrival runways dont stipulate if the runway is cat11 or cat111. all you get is ils rw16L for example and at KSEA runway 16L has ils, cat11 and cat111 but the arr. page does not indicate all three types. is there a way to overcome this. richard welsh.

Dear PMDGAfter more than a year waiting we are still a lot of disappointed former PMDG 737NG captains, every week checking for news from our "God and Masters" the PMDG develloment crew.But no news, only the same message,..Comming soon, no screenshot !.I have great respect for the troublesome process for all devellopers swifting from FS9 to FSX, in fact i doo a little bit of scenery design myself, and i also do respect that every developper need a free space to get things going, and the liberty to keep silence untill there is a reason to blow the trumphet,...BUT i recommand PMDG to inform there eager and mouldy 737 Captains WHEN something is happening or WHY we dont hear …
