Hi all,I'm currently flying over northern canada in the PMDG 744-F, with an SAT of -88

I do not have this product yet. Is it possible to import flight plans from FS 9 or other into the FMC, or does one have to enter the entire flight plan point by point each time?ThanksGreg

Hi to all,My name's Andrea from Italy:About ten days ago I purchased and installed the B747F all right but...when two day ago I selected the B737-800 PMDg for a flight I had a "fatal error message" and Fs9 crashed out. I tried to delete the Fs9.cfg but w/o success and now I can't use the B737 anymore....On considering that few days before I've installed the B747F I can think that do exist a relationship between these two events...Any Idea abou how to make the B737 working again ?(If I reinstall the b737 I should have other problems 'cause PMDG advices to install the B737 before the 747...)Thanks in advanceAndrea Buono - Como (near Como Lake) .

I recently purchased the pmdg 737-600/700 and 800/900.I have many different pmdg 737s to choose from whenselecting an aircraft, but none that offers 737 with winglets.For example, 2d 737-700 with winglets. I have seen screenshotsof pmdg 737 with winglets. Where do I find them?

It was said a while ago that those who purchased both the queen and the 'F' would get a free update to FSX.Does this agreement still stand, as that is why I bought the 'F' as well?

Helo!There was a site(https://www2.nima.mil/products/digitalaero/charts.cfm) which closed few month ago.I think most of you know this site.I need the EEA 9-3 (or EEA 9, i dont remember), so if anybody has this chart, please reply and send me!!!!!!!!!!!!Does anybody know another site like that, where i can download planning charts/enroute chart?Thank you for your help!Gyula

Hi gents,maybe it's not the perfect forum for this topic but...why can't airplanes like the (PMDG) 744 land in Heathrow these days due to fog and low visibility?I thought that a CAD-III-autolanding feature is made for this situation. And I suppose that most of the Boings and Airbusses have this system installed. So how come the troubles in Heathrow these days?Any details from you real-flying pilots out there?regards,Volker

Hi Brian,I'm a bit confused. There are two Polar Cargo repaints at the PMDG site. What repaint are you waiting for?Ulf B

Hi,I installed servinfo from vatsim on my system, and either im doing something wrong, but, after it's installed, a new plane will load with the game, but then I can't change to any plane that has been modified to show the servinfo screen for vatsim.It starts to switch planes then boots me out, searches for the cd and kaboom, crash.ideas?FS2004 (9.1), PMDG 737 seriesI haven't yet tried to uninstall servinfo, or reinstalling pmdg. I just dont want to keep tinkering with a machine giving me more than 50 fps.

I purchased the PMDG 747 a while back (around the time when donations were for the Hurricane relief), and a few weeks ago I lost everything on my computer, so I no longer have my product, key, or order number. Who would I contact to help get my product redownloaded?

In my opinion the best Virtual cockpit for FS2004 ever! (Let's hope that changes soon...) http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/163863.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/163864.jpg Would like to see other people's VC shots!Cheers,Paul

Hi Guys,Santa may be generous to me this year (ok with a little help from myself) and I may be in the position to purchase a hardware MCP & EFIS so which does anyone recommend?I am wanting to use it with the pmdg 737 (& 744 if possible - I know they are different) and is the first step in my cockpit building.Many people seem to use the CPFlight unit but is it compatable? The GoFLight unit is cheaper but is it not as good? Or should I get a panel and build the switches and dials myself?Any views gratefully received...CheersMike

HisI got the level-d angle of attack cd recently and I noticed that the fix page is being used a lot for setting the landing configurations.The procedures used are not explained anywhere else.I am wondering if those procedures are exclusive to level-d or can you use them for the pmdg 744-which I have .If so,than could some body please suggest a tutorial that explains which point do you place in the fix page for landing and how do you decide which 'rad' value to use.I have read the explanation on 'abeam' but still can't understand it-could someone please help-and why do you need it.I always use the 'loc' and the 'app' for landings and switch them off around 1000ft if I fee…

Hi allJust aquired the 737/800/900 by PMDG, to fly on my new 19" tftmonitor!Everything is great except that when i go into certain view angles in the VC it flickers like static electricity hitting the screen? (this also happened on my old 15" tft with various aircraft, but back then I thought it was the minitor?)Any cluesThanks!Ian

My aircraft have been behaving strangely when attempting to perform an autoland recently.I have both NAV1 and NAV2 set to the ILS f the rwy, the correct rwy is selected in the FMC. When I get the ILS and am in a position to start the approach, I press the APP button, and then the second Autopilot in order to perform an autoland. However, what seems to happen is the VOR-LOC button comes on and the light underneath where you switch on the autopilot switches on, rather than the two autopilot buttons above. This has never happened before and I always landed fine. This caused a bit of a problem when coming into Stansted the other day whilst there was all the fog!!!!I'm using C…

I've found the zipfile for the TRC 1 but can't for the life of me locate the files for 2 and 3.Is this part of the course? - you have to be smart enough to find them to be able to use them?

Hi Guys, First of all Merry Christmas to all, hey i found a a liveryfor the Pmdg 747-400 that i had just about given up on.

Merry Christmas All,re PMDG 747 400 CDWhen I load the cd the first screen says "Install PMDG 747-400".When I click on this I get a message "setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close......." "Please tell Microsoft about this problem."I have tried to load the program several times on both my laptop and desktop both of which have FS9 installed.On another desktop that does not have FS9 installed the Install Shield Wizard appears after clicking "Install PMDG 747-400" on the first screen.This has not happened with any of my many other FS add-on products.(I have PMDG 737 series installed, in case this makes a difference.)Please can you tell me how to resolve thi…

All of the SID/STAR from navdata.at are not workable. There are errors when loading them:MKE29 unknown errorMKE08 unknown errorSo, do u hv any other sid/star for RJCC??If so, could you please give me a link.Thx

Hi there allJust looking at LHR weather - it is very foggy indeed. I was wondering if anyone knew what the minimum take-off RVR/visibility is for the 744 (I realise it may vary between companies), and I imagine the crosswind limits and the like would change too?Thanks for any helpRudy

How do I access the load manager. No where in any tutorials does it say how to access it.KK

Does anyone know where to find real world routes for airlines (specifically BAW) and also what aircraft is used on the routes? So far I've been using the actual British Airways site but since they use IATA codes instead of ICAO, it's tricky. Is there a source that just gives a list or table of Departures, Destinations, Flight Number, and Aircraft Type?Ryan GamurotLucky to live Hawai'ihttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg http://www.jdtllc.com/images/rcv4bannersupporter.jpg

HiCould somebody point me to a link that has the European runway charts(diagrams)I have managed to find a link for the American.I use radar contact and taxing is a nightmare.Many thanksAnd Happy Christmas to all.Qas

Hi team,The FMC's of the modern airliners I know have a Required Time of Arrival (RTA) feature, where you tell the plane when to get to a fix and it adjusts speed. No FS addons thus far model it. I have no knowledge of programming, but I don't think this should be difficult to simulate. My most humble apologies if I am wrong.Is there any plan for the MD11 or 744 have this feature?ThanksPaul
