PMDG General Forum

Hi all,now I know a lot of questions have been posted about this - but they seem to only answer part of my queries. So here goes!Does anyone know of a"PMDG B1900C Autopilot manual for dummies"?or"B1900C Autopilot 101"?or "An Idiots guide to the PMDG B1900C Autopilot"?I am sure I am not the only person who would find this useful!Please help if you can?Many thanks in anticipationIan Cockell

Is this possible?lets say im flying without an active route and I decide to fly to a new destination.How do i do that with the fmcMy thought was to a create a fix at my current location and that would be my dept point in the fmc and my new dest would obviously be the new arrival fix.Is that correct or is there a more simple way, PeterPeter K P.EngCF-MMZToronto Ontario CanadaPMDG 747,737and 747FLevel D 767PSS Airbus pro A340-300In reality, a Mooney 201 Pilot

DanI am new at this. I see in AVSIM that you have SID/STARS cycle collections for PMDG and also those for individual airports ie KSAT KDEN to download individually.I am confused as to the difference between these files. Would not the individual airports be included in the latest AIRAC SID/STAR release?Also to use the RNAV approaches I see in the 747 FMC do we need to download your files adding the extra fixes for each individual airport?Or are the fixes somehow already included in the database>Thanks,Greg

hi to all,i heard you put in the pipeline a new version of the 737, maybe it's ealy to ask...are you considering to add the vdi? thankstkhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/169059.jpg

I recieved my Goflight MCP Pro today and promptly bought and downloaded the interface software for the PMDG 747/737. I followed the installation instructions to the letter installing the key code then software and got it up and running. I started up FS9 and selected the 744,opened the pmdg tab and connected the hardware to the software.After testing out only a few switches the hardware stopped functioning.For example, i turned on the FD and armed the autothrottle.When i turned them off, the switches on the sim and hardware stayed on. No luck also when turning the alt and heading knobs , nothing changed.Am I missing something???Would appreciate some helpThanks Alex

Simple question for you folks I'm sure. Recently purchased the 737NG and love it. I updated the terminal procedures from Planepath and installed the 0703 cycle. When I load the sim, I see the date as 0411. Can someone point out my error on why the date isn't current? Thank you.

Have just looked at another companies soon to be released A320 simulation and was a little shocked to see the old Flight Deck layout, with CRT screens and the old standard EWD/SD layout.Here's praying PMDG are not behind the times!!!David

I would like to purchase the 1900C. I do not have FS9 tho, just FSX. Will I be able to install the 1900C into a dummy FS9 directory then move it over to fsx? Or because there is no registry entry regarding fs9 will this not work. Thanks.Joe Albertps. I just tried the FS9 registry repair tool. It looks for the fs9.exe file, which I didnt have. So I made a text file, renamed it to FS9.exe and the repair tool appeared to have worked. So while I didnt answer my question, I have tried all the available solutions. Thanks again.

Allhas anyone seen this beforeI start the pmdg747 , all is good and working fine.All instruments are working. Then within about 2 minutes all of the instruments go blackbut everything else is running.This is a clean fresh install.

Hi Everyone,First regarding the sound, are you completely unable to hear the engines start from the flight deck on the real aircraft? I mean it just sounds a little to quiet during start up but if you really can't hear it, then I can live with it. Also, when you retract or extend the gear, can you not hear that as well? About the Load Manager though, I've taken to copying the ZFW and entering that into the FMC instead of confirming the Gross Weight. The only catch is that it ends up adding about 2 tonnes to my calculated weight in the FMC. How is this possible if I copied the numbers straight from the Load Manager?Ryan GamurotLucky to live Hawai'ihttp://www.precision…

Hi all,Before you all groan and complain about this being yet ANOTHER thread about whether or not to get the CH gear.. I am just writing to ask a couple of questions really..I've been reading and reading and reading.. and so far I've gone through probably 20 - 30 different posts on this topic.. The problem is there seems to be no middle ground on this subject.. That is that those using it either love it or consider it a waste of money.. The yoke seems to be the focus of this love hate relationship... From my reading the pedals seems to be about 95% accepted as being pretty good for the money really.. but the yoke seems to get mixed reviews.. Some of the general comments a…

Hi AllI have just uploaded to my site two new sets of procedures. One set is labeled D/L UK. This set is a 0703 update that mostly adds more STARs to some UK airports. It will just overwrite all the previous 0703 UK airports with the updated ones. I did it this way so you would not have to D/L the whole 0703 package again.The other set is labeled NO HOLDS. This is a full set of procedures, including the updates above, that has had all Holds removed from SIDs, STARs and the enroute transition portion of the IAPs. I left the MAP Hold in though. Some of you have wanted this and I've been informed that most real world FMC don't automatically provide those Holds anyway. It wil…

Hi, was wondering if someone can help me with my problem. Everytime i attempt to open the load manager for either the 747-400 PAX or Cargo version, i get a window popup saying that it could not detect a valid flight simulator installation. I am truly puzzled by this message. Just started occuring recently and nothing major has changed on my system. I run a windows vista system with fs9 and the PMDG 747 fs2crew installed as well.Thanks in advanceGary

Hi, I love the 737 and am still learning. I also love TMs Tutorial and have been progressing quite well. One problem I am having on repeated flights is in Flight 3 - Florida tour 2. I can't seem to hit the 7000 ft. restriction at RSW without a unachievable disconnect. I am following everything by the book, but I still miss. It seems to decend quite slowly from the previous 12000 ft. restriction until about 10000, then picks up a little more steepness toward RSW but then I get the warning. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Tom

I have just installed a who new fresh system.Vista, FS9, all my addons, etc.When I start FS and select the PMDG 747, it gives me the error message that FSUIPC.DLL is too old. I checked and I have version 3.73.Tried to reinstall the 747, but that didn't work.Any suggestions to what might be the issue?UAC on or off didn't make any change.

Recently I upgraded to Vista. I reinstalled FS 2004, Active Sky 6.5, Ultimate Traffic, various scenery items and both the PMDG 737 and 747. I did nothing different from when I was running XP. I generate my weather with ASV and then start FS. I get everything set and start out with the Cessna. Once loaded, I change to either of the PMDG's. I fly in "Full Window" view, so in order to see the menu or toolbar I hit the "Alt" key. The menu appears but if I click on the PMDG option and then click on "Options" the screen goes black and Ctrl+Alt+Del is the only way out. If I use one to the default Boeings I'm able to bring up the menu and select anything...but as soon as I select…

Hello,is it possible that the load managers are not compatible for a wide screen format?It is screwed up. Well, it's not that big problem for me, but a short support would be fine. Thnx, kind regards.

PMDG 747F is not following the magenta route as entered in the FMC. The plane is just going straight. I don't see this happening in the PMDG 737.Help is very much appreciated.Hugohttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/168837.jpg

I went to the http://www.navdata.at and downloaded the all in one SID/STAR file and now I'm at EGLL and when I enter EGLL in the RTE1 page of the FMC I get an error that says EGLL err: DOMUT unknown. What does that mean? I'm still able to fly the flight plan.

I have been using the 737 for quite a while without any problem. I tried different airport : LFPGENGM on the Acars page and the response is : ENGM error D195C unknown. No sid and star shown yet they are in as I have checked. I tried EHAM,same story, different number error but the sid and star appear correctly!!!What is the problem?Thanking you in advance.Alain

I have written quite an extensive tutorial about flying the 747-400 PAX version of the PMDG Queen. It's my attempt at putting down most of my knowledge when it comes to flying the Queen.I wrote it because most of the tutorials that I have read/seen.. tend to concentrate on button pressing.. rather than actually saying what these buttons actually do.. Which I think really defeats the point of the explaination.. The PMDG simulation is very rich and complex.. and it's much more complicated than it often gets credit for.. I think button pressing tutorials are useful for the more experienced simmer, but those that are starting out and are new to airliners in general, this I h…

I have seen that there is a compatibility patch for the GF-MCP pro, but what about the GF-MCP?

Hello,I have been using pmdg 737 6/7/8/900 for a month now. For themost part, I have not had any problems. But now, for whateverreason, Im unable to enter winds on the Route Data Page.I have had no problems in the past, but now I get an"invalid entry" cdu messege when I attempt to enter winds.Any ideas??ThanksAdam

HiIve read some great tutorials for the PMDG 737NGs concerning the FMC. In the reserve fuel put 6 in, and 80 in the cost index.Ok id like to know how and what to put in. I dont know how he the author figured these calcs. Cost index?And another question is this. Have you ever flown into KPDX using a STAR, like MOXEE SIX, and when you get clearance to 28 or 10 at VANTZ, how does the FMC fly this? Because theres seem to be a ending and starting point in the route after leaving VANTZ for the Vectors/WPs for the APPs.Oh, one more question just popped in my head..In the FMC for Arrival at some airports, i see ILS25, ILS7, ect.. what is a GRN25 or a GRN7?Sorry, haha, one more ju…
