PMDG General Forum

I'm currently flying a route from KMIA to EDDF. keep getting the 'insufficient fuel' from the FMC. it shows @EDDF i'll be at 0.0I remember it did this on my last flights as well, and I ended up having many many pounds to spare upon landing. as a matter of fact, I compleletly filled all the tanks just to see what it will say and it still said ins. fuel @0.0 upon landing...Right now I havemain 1/4 - 24 eachmain 2/3 - 57 eachcenter - 43.7 res 2/3 - 2.7 eachI'm currently 470nm W of the COLOR int. to give you an idea of where I am (about 100 miles E of YQI on the 290R)let me also add that cost index is currently 120

Is anyone else having this problem? Ever since I downloaded the latest AIRAC files (PMDG_0706), the aproach routes do not line up with the runways. I have been flying PMDG aircraft for over 4 years and have never had this problem before. I am using SID?STARS from PlanePath. If anyone has any input on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all:I was just wondering if PMDG has taken into consideration the multiplayer function of FSX. It seems that many developers are forgetting or don't realize that there are many people that are flying multiplayer now. I would like to know how functional PMDG's fleet will be with FSX multiplayer...also as the features of each aircraft are listed I would like to see if there will be Multi support or not so that I may make an informed decision on the product I may or may not wish to purchase. Multiplayer has become a key feature that I look for in addon aircraft.PBCool1

I am not happy. I have another problem. When I go to select my aircraft i select pmdg 747, press ok, then it freezes, can still move the mouse, have to restart FS. Yes I have tried selecting it when flying somewhere else and also on the opening create-a-flight screen. A speedy response from the team would be greatly appreciated, I need this bird on 7th July.

I'm having a problem, I was doing an ils approach at kden, as I turned onto the base leg I hit the approach button so I would be picked up on the localizer, after I was established I noticed that it was not very accurate at all, I let it be to see what would happen the glide slope came alive and it followed it down fine but I was nowhere close to the runway at DH I was probably 60 feet left of the centre line. The weather was good I could have made the proper adjustments but never the less the sun is not always going to be shining. Any help or known solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Ian

This was supposed to be released in "spring". But we are well into summer. I wonder if they are waiting for the FSX version of PMDG 747-400 to release it as a bundle.Doubt anyone knows.Greg

HelloI have an other situation with my rudder.When taxiing the aircraft starts to sway.So I had a look at the eicas the rudder and saw that is was far to the left.However I could not trim it to be in the center.I have also re-calibrated my Pro Pedals and that didn't help either.After take off, the rudder gets centered again, and when landed the same thing starts over again.I have also disconnected the autorudder in the settings,no change.Is there anyone who experienced this already and what is there to do about it????? }( :-jumpy Carlos

I've had the pax Queen since Dec 2005 and love her. She flies wonderfully and I am very happy with her handling and predictability and forgiving manner. Strangely, it's by using the Queen that I have finally learned how to both hand-fly amazingly well and also engage in automated flight much more easily and accurately. She really is the Queen of my entire FS2004 fleet.I was wondering, however, should I get the cargo or freighter model 744 by PMDG as well? Am I missing anything--sounds, gauges, visual models, sounds, etc.-- by not having those other types of Queen in my fleet? If you instal another type of Queen, is there a risk of destabilizing anything in the existi…

Hi,I am almost at the stage of deciding which type of monitors to use and would appreciate some help/info on the best way to go.I'm thinking of using 3 x 19" monitors for the outside view in conjunction with Triplehead2go. Another 21" monitor for the PFD/ND and a 19" for the EICAS and standby guages.The difference between the widescreen and "normal" is approximately 1 1/2" - 2" in width and I could use 19" widescreen for the PFD/ND but am concerned about whether the guages and displays will look "stretched" This is the same for the outside view.Any advice would be very helpfulMany ThanksRob

Hi,Need some help here with proposed panel configuration, to know if it's possible before I build it. I'm building a 737NG cockpit using the PMDG 737 as the base.What I'd like to do is have 3 monitors with Triplehead2Go for the outside view, 2 monitors for the PFD/ND, 1 monitor for the EICAS, and 1 monitor for the overhead, (located where the CDU's and lower EICAS would normally be). To have a hardware interface functionality the overhead needs to be displayed, as does the TQ for testing the warning cutout etc. So, with the monitor for the overhead, I also want to be able to use it for switching screens without affecting the other monitor views, using the TQ, Radio sta…

I check the PMDG site daily...religiously...for over a Month now.And? As I REFUSE to use FSX until...Everyday? I wake up, go to work and see:'PMDG 747-400X for FSX''Finally, your favorite airliner simulation is coming to the next generation Flight Sim platform' >.;)

Im not sure what happened I must have bad luck.I purchased the 1900d I read the part about having the default 350 king air, which it is installed on my fs9 but when I loaded up the 1900d the gauges were missing. So I loaded up the default 350 king air and its gauges were missing as well. Something must have happened to my gauges folder. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of them so I can put them back in my folder.Thanks Ian

Hello,This last days when I try to load the Load editor I get a fatal error saying: " Could not detect a valid Microsoft Flight Simulator installation".Well it is right there under its nose.Does some one knows where this is coming from, never had this before.Is it easy to re-install the PMDG 747-400???Perhaps that would be the best thing to do.Carlos

Hello,I'm having problems with the PMDG 737 600 Series, on the FMC/FMS when i type in a aircraft ICAO code it says "runway 05 error" or "egll err rwy 05" etc......... also sometimes it says "not found in database". I Have purchased and installed the latest Airac Update which was an auto-installer..... but still having these problems, any suggestions???In the FS9 Directory, PMDG Folder what files should be in their?? Ive got the sid/stars, flightplans, icons, 737TNG along with a few files..?I would appreciate some DETAILED instructions as to what i need to do to fix this. Cheers,Jamie.

HelloI have the 747 boxed version. On my Computer I have the FlightSimulator X ( Drive C ) and the Flightsimulator 2004 on drive E. But somehow the installer doesn't recognize the path of the Flightsimulator 2004. Instead he is copying all the files to drive c where the Flightsimulator X is installed.What can I do ?Bodo

I am having problems installing the N134AR paint into the BBJ1.I can install into 737WL without any problems, but it wont show up when I install into the BBJ1 aircraft.Any ideas as to what is happening?Regards,Ted Panamarioff - Kodiak, Alaska

does anyone have a problem with the newly added runway 10 at KATL, with there PMDG 737 or 747. I have installed both the www.planepath.com cycle 0706 and the additional one from avsim by Dan Downs. when i input KATL into the FMS i get "error runway 10 known" and theres no runway data or sid/star's.

When I try to enter the VATSIM NAT co-ordinates e.g. 52 degrees north and 50 degrees west in all the different formats suggested bythe manuals it doesn't want to accept them.Any help as I want to fly online and this is a requisite for flying the north atlantic

Has anyone tried using FS2004 and PMDG stuff on an external hard drive please ? This would enable me to use the products when I'm away from home on my laptop. I'm wondering if there is a performance hit by going 'external'.

Mike Ray's book on flying Boeings states that PMDG allows us to enter data into the FMC by using the QWERTY keyboard. I can't find any information on that. Is it possible?Scott

Here's a question for the PMDG staff that I've been wondering about for a while. In the PMDG AOM, limitations section, it lists the max takeoff weight for the 737-700 as 133,000 lbs. Every where else, aircraft.cfg, PMDG load manager, etc. the MTOW for the -700 is listed as 153,500 lbs. I'm just checked to be sure that the PMDG intended to model the -700 with a MTOW of 153,500 and not 133,000. Thanks.

Hi all,Can someone have a go at this please:http://www.rolls-royce.com/media/showPR.jsp?PR_ID=40493I know this is actually a 742, but hey, it's a beautiful livery - IMHO at least.Thanks,
