Hi guys, I have no idea what went wrong this time but during my takeoff I disconnected the autopilot and since there I have the disconnect warning sound. I already tried to disconnect the AP via moving with the joke or via the disconnect button bar but nothing is elishing the sound. Could someone help me? :D Thanks! :)

Hi, after I've installed Windows 10 completely new and a fresh install of P3D v4 I got today the following crash 2x during flight to LOWW from OMDB in the PMDG 777-200LR and on the way back 2x. I will try to do another route but in fact that I only installed PILOTS Global Ultimate and ORBX products (Base and Europe) and FlyTampa OMDB/LOWW - its quiet unusual that its scenery caused. Programm Prepar3D.exe, Version 4.0.23.21468 kann nicht mehr unter Windows ausgeführt werden und wurde beendet.

Hello, I recently obtained PMDG 737-800NGX, I am working through Tutorial No 1 and after following all the guide requirements am now ready to fly with the Gatwick to Schipol flt having programmed the FMC and MCP etc etc. Problem is I cannot get the zoom feature to work and am stuck on 0.05-% on the virtual cockpit, I cannot figure out how to get the zoom function to work without closing and opening up and starting again, I am using the default aircraft as per the tutorial requirements. I have tried numerous key board combinations but nothing seems to work?? Any Help much appreciated. Charlie

Out of these 3, which one would you say is the easiest to fly (more automated), mostly handled by the computer and less interaction and hand flying?

Hi Very small issue but I've noticed when selecting the 777 for P3D in the OC (either v3 or v4) the tail on the aircraft shows FSX and a yellow graphic rather than P3D with a green background. Regards Mark

Now that VAS is not an issue anymore we can load all sounds up-hand (via the FMC PMDG feature))so low cost audiocards doesnt make stutter on approach. Thanks Michael Moe

Hi, I wanted to know if PMDG will be looking at implementing rain effects on the windshields to their aircraft's as Lockheed completely left this out in the new version. I do know there were limitations in previous flight simulators for them to be able to do this, is that still the case now.

Good day, I have searched the forums before i came here. I downloaded both the 747 and the 777-2 for V4 and it wont show on my start menu which has all the listed programs on the pc which has done since i first purchased all PMDG products. Yesterday, i installed the 747 and today when i installed the 777, the ops center didn't show an install of the 747 just the 777. It shows else where on my pc i.e Sim objects airplanes, misc programdata etc that i have it installed but normally shows on the start menu. Numerous installs with AV off and admin aren't doing anything. I apologize for coming to you with this because you all have so much going on bringing us great products…

Hello everyone, I have installed the PMDG 747 V3 on both P3DV3 and V4. I was originally going to use both simulators with the 747 due to the lack of scenery, however now I have no need to use v3 with the 747. To save disk space, I want to uninstall the 747 from only V3 without touching anything in V4. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Gents. A few photos from the New 747 with improve dynamic lighting. Full gallery here cheers¡¡

Can it be so?! About one hour ago I updated my PMDG Ops Center. Upon opening Ops Center and selecting "choose aircraft", I noticed a DC-6 for P3D option. Had it been there before the update? I don't know. I clicked on it and it took me to a PMDG web page where I could purchase it. I read every word and clicked every link to see if I could find which version of P3D was supported and found that it was intended for version "3.4 and later". Does this mean it will also work in v4, or just later versions of v3? Well, I spent the next hour searching (everywhere) for some mention of the 6's release for any version of P3D, but found nothing except the information that is ou…

Hi guys Putting this on here as I cannot talk to you otherwise. I'm trying to raise a support ticket but for some reason it will not accept my password I can login into the pmdg site and access my files,but when I try to use the same details for logging into to create a support ticket it says that the info is incorrect.I have asked for a pasword reset but as yet not arrived and registering says that the details are already in use can you advise on a fix thanks

Hello, I Have P3D V4 64bit i noticed the simulator will randomly crash ever 30-60 minutes usually every 60 minutes.... i noticed it seems to close down with no responding when im aspecially switching to my web browser.... i have never had that issue in v3 im making this thread to let you guys know in case I found a bug. I dont know if its P3D V4 bug or the PMDG aircraft having a bug. My friends think it's the PMDG Im posting here to inform you in case its a PMDG Bug. Let me know what i can do? Are there error logs you need? I have error logs enabled for p3d but dunno how to find them... thanks! Wind…

Hi my friends at PMDG. Last night the 777 for p3d v4 showed up in the operations center, but I couldn't figure out how to install it. I tried using the same procedure in the 747 instructions, but it looks like the 777 installer I downloaded from my order history is the same one I bought for v3, and it only gives me the option to install in v3. Was this an accidental, premature addition last night? If so, maybe you want to pull it from the op center before the forums start to go bonkers later. Happy converting, John

Just a minor suggestion that I believe would make using the PMDG Previous Orders page more efficient. It would be nice to add a column containing the title of the product associated with each order number. As it is now, one must click on each of the order numbers to see what that specific purchase was for. My memory just isn't that good. Again, not a huge thing, not even a priority... just a "nice to have" to improved the customer experience on that specific page. Thanks again for all the superb simulation products!

Captains, A few moments ago, we published our first x64 update to the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II. Updates the 747 within our Prepar3D product line so that you can use it in either Prepar3D v3 or Prepar3D v4. I am going to refrain from my usual excessive wordiness in order to make sure a few points get seen under your noses: THESE NOTES ARE IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THEM: This is a complete product and installer rebuild, thus requiring that you download the entire 1.2GB installer anew from your PMDG eCommerce account. I will include the installation instructions a bit lower down for those who need them. As of this version, we are still a…

I really love this feature that I saw in the PMDG 747 v3 and was wondering if the 737 and 777 models will also get this in a future update?

Captains, We have a ton of stuff going on behind the scenes at PMDG of late... Simultaneous work on three different four engine airplanes. Can you imagine? Concurrent with our other announcement regarding the 747, tonight we wanted to let you know that we have moved the PMDG DC-6 Cloudmaster for FSX, FSX-Steam Edition and Prepar3D into beta testing! We still have some work to accomplish here but most of it is down to fine tuning the product and bringing in additional functionality that we are really excited to tell you about. In the mean time, I have a few images of the old girl in Prepar3D- which I think you will find is a breathtakingly great p…

hello pmdg team may i ask you if you plan to add this effect on your planes wtih p3Dv4 ? Thanks

Hi, It is a minor problem, but my 747 Prepar3d v4 start with engines running. I can change the panelstate, I can't save the new panelstate. anyone a good idea? Thanks Eric

I plan on staying with P3Dv3.4 for awhile until I decide to build a new system in a few months. I know you released a new update for those using P3Dv4 or both versions (v3/v4) on the same system which requires a complete uninstall and reinstall. As a P3Dv3.4 only I ran the Operations Center (OC) update and the OC was updated. It also had an update for the 747 which said I need to download the complete setup file. My question is do v3 only users need to perform the same task? Besides the way the installer works for both version were there updates to the v3 version that I will be missing out on if I don't update? I did not see a list of changes except for the way the …

Hello i have installed the update of the 747 for p3dv4, but I no longer have the paintings and the operation center, I still had the p3dv3 when I did the update, but I uninstall the 747 of the p3dv3 before putting up to date. I have d uninstall the 747 of the p3dv4 and also the p3dv3 completely and then reinstall the 747 only on the p3dv4 I have no operation center, I try to communicate with pmdg and I find myself on this forum there is a way to talk with them I do not know With whom to communicate to solve this problem. This is a translation i speak french Thank you Pierre Galarneau

Hi, as we now have 64 bit platform, would it be possible if someday we have a nice cabin design for the 777 please ? (Like the one from CaptainSim) I know we all sit in the cockpit but it is nicer if we have a cabin to enter and rest for long haul flight Thanks

Hey guys is the paid version of FSUIPC really needed for PMDG aircraft? Or can I just install the free version
