PMDG General Forum

Not sure if this is the right topic area to ask for help with the following problem. I have being operating my FSX-Steam from a Lenovo Gaming tower Capacity 899 GB for almost a year, and have the PDMG 737, 777, 747, and many scenery and sound add-ons. About three weeks ago and after purchasing the New PDMG 747 my system began to crash aprx. 45 min after setting up a flight still not in flight in either 3 of the PDMG aircrafts which I have done previously before this problem began. Once the 747 PDMG was downloaded it was working correctly but since aprx. 2 weeks ago this mishap began and keeps occurring. When the system crashes I get the following message; Error; …

Hello, What are the recommended values for the script in regard to the PMDG aircraft? Mainly interested in the 777 and 737 at this moment. Later on the 747 as well. Thanks!

So on Thursday, I was on the inaugural United 777-300ER flight from EWR-SFO. At the end, the captain gave me the dispatch release and OFP for the flight. After reading through it, there are a few things I can't seem to find on google and was wondering if maybe anyone here knows. 1.) The first item I don't understand is a fuel entry labeled "ACF90" with 5 minutes next to it. What is ACF90? In addition to the fuel entry, in the dispatch remarks there is a line that says: "ACF90=05/ACF99=06 SAMPLE=64 AVGBDE=00 STDEV=00". I don't know if all of those relate to the ACF90, but maybe someone else knows more? 2.)Next up, there is also a line that says: "IA: KEWR-KSTL-KABQ-KLAS-…

I just removed all of my old FSX and moved to FSX Steam. Will the legacy aircraft, MD-11, 744, and etc work in FSX Steam. Am pretty sure that the NGX, 777, and new 744V3 will. Thanks

The new queen from PMDG has been available for a month now and boy what a month it was. I started flying her on day one scrapping a planned 777 flight. Since then I haven't seen another (virtual) cockpit for a while. This new model is a huge improvement over the great but now outdated version I used to wrestle with in FS9. It's like they don't even belong in the same solar system anymore. I love the smooth intrumentation, the 3D cockpit, the shiny fuselage, all the details in the wing when it's flaps come down and so on and so forth. The attention to detail is incredible and I can only imagine how much painstaking work this must have been. But from a simmers view ...…

I have installerad aerosoft Airbus and pmdg 737/777 for p3d v3. And When I start the flight with the pmdg it's black screens and all buttons are non-clickable. Same with the Airbus. But after I installed simconnect, P3D folder > redist > Interface > FSX-SP2-XPACK > retail > lib > then install SimConnect.msi. And now the Airbus work perfect but when I load a pmdg aircraft and start the flight I just hear a click and than p3d crashes. I have tried reinstall but doesn't work. In fsx I also hear a click and than the aircraft loading. But now it crash. Pls help. Here is an picture. https://ibwilq.dm2303.livefilestore.com/y3mf2uH9qP5pbyqPxuzdsDaOoJimfLiawqACg…

Hi All Flying queen of the skies 2 When taxing the FMC used to give me verbal information on what runways I was crossing or approaching during taxi. However now I hear a slight break in the audio noise, indicating that this is when she is probably speaking, but I don't hear the words. What options do I have to set to get this feature back, as I used to hear it, but now I don't. Also do any others experience not seeing the reverse thrust feature of the engines separating in the landing replay mode with FSX? I have been told that this is because FSX cant process these extra animations. What is the best way around this to visualize…

The pop-up windows are easy to resize by clicking and dragging but if you want a bigger window by default, you can edit the panel.cfg file for each PMDG aircraft. For the 747-400, for example, I made the following edit to make the window 50% bigger. I like to see a large map of where I am going, and to be able to read the fix names a little better...75 year-old eyes! // // Zoomed Left Inboard DU // [Window08] BACKGROUND_COLOR=10,10,10 size_mm=555, 555 //window_size=0.26015, 0.4625 // original window_size=0.390225, 0.69375 // x 1.5 original position=4 visible=0 ident=411 zorder=95gauge00=PMDG_747QOTSII!DU, 10, 10, 535, 535, 1 LEFT_INBD #12…

Hello, First I would like to say I'm very happy about the new PMDG 747 v3. It's so amazing to fly the new 747. I have a small question to the PMDG 777 and 747 v3 on P3D. I'm not sure if it's a bug with PMDG or P3D but maybe someone here can help me. While changing the view in the virtual cockpit to the pedestal (for example) and back to the normal virtual cockpit the clouds look very bright and blurred??? This happens with the 777 and 747... And I have no idea why? Maybe it's more P3D related? Here is a screenshot for example how it should look like (normal VC front view): Now just looking to the pedestal And now looking ba…

I have purchased PMDG aircraft 737.777 and 747 for use with FSX SE. I know wish to change and use P3D. I am aware that I have to purchase the aircraft again for use with P3D, do I get any discount as already purchased for FSX SE Clive

Heya brothers, I am tryin to get Radar Contact 4.3 to read flight plans created by the PMDG 747 v3 FMC. Is there a free app for this please?

Please bring some of your birds to X-plane11. With the new UI and updates it would be great to have some quality study level birds from PMDG on X-plane. I've recently made the jump and I'm loving the realism X-plane11 brings to my pc. Thank you! A PMDG fan waiting...

I just checked my account, and it said i have to orders cancelled one for my recently purchased 737 and the 747, the 747 makes sense, since i was in a dispute with my brother, since i used wrong payment method, but for the NGX it says cancelled, and i never disputed the NGX, my brother disputed the 747 but i never did anything with the NGX and now i have 2 licenses suspended what i am going to do now is to repurchase the 747 under MY account to get access back, but regarding the 737, it does not make sense, iand since it was cancelled as well shouldn't i have recieved a refund, but the thing is i do not want a refund, i want my 737 license restored, while i repurchas…

Just posted this over in the 777 forum but wanted to post here also to make sure it gets noticed. This forum is probably a better place for it anyway. Great series of CBT videos you all may be interested in. Very in depth real world CBT trading for the 777. Also videos regarding differences between 744 and 777. Just when I thought I had the 777 figured out I come across this! Lots more to learn. Enjoy! Aviation Chat Club

Hopefully I can find a fix for this... Unfortunately my sim has been crashing randomly due to this module from Nvidia coming form (C:\Windows\system32\nvwgf2um.dll). This has recently started ever since i installed PMDG 747v3 and the crash has been going on ever since. not only does it happen on the 747 but the random crash also happens with other aircraft. I have tried countless different settings on FSX DX9 mode; DX10 Fixer; windowed mode; borderless windowed mode, and the crash keeps on happening. I have not tried fullscreen mode scince i have multiple monitors for vpilot, etc. All drivers are updated and any addon software associated with FSXSE are as well. the …

I thought some might appreciate this. http://travelskills.com/2017/02/23/united-flies-boeing-747-sfo-lax/

Just a suggestion that I think is applicable to the 747-400 and 777 aircraft. It's great that you've implemented the automatic Tank to Engine capability in the 747, but it would be good if you'd also implement an automatic shutdown of the centre tank pumps once that tank reaches it's lower limits. As far as I am aware this isn't done for the 747 or 777 and would be a nice feature to have. Regards

I finally tested out my new computer with P3D and the new 747. Jetline Simulations in Florida did the build and installed the software. Specs are: Intel 7700K cpu OC 5 Ghz (water cooled) one 12 GB Titan X Pascal Card. MSI 270 MB 32 GB ram I have P3D installed, ORBX, several FlyTampa airports, some Flightbeam airports, GSX, FSUIPC, Active Sky 2016. At the FlyTampa KTPA airport I was getting 55 fps on the runway with the 747 cockpit view. ( I need to report the exact settings as this makes a difference as we know). I am very happy with the results. My 4 year old computer with an Intel 990X with GeForce 590 card is getting 15 fps - 20 …

G'day all, First off, apologise if I am posting in the wrong place. The issue relates to both the 777 and 747 so was unsure of where to post. I have been having some autopilot issues in the 777 and was actually going to post on here yesterday, but ended up not. After getting the 747 and experiencing the same issues in the new (old?) machine, it is definitely time to try and get this sorted out. So the issue I am having is the aircraft unable to maintain heading and altitude. A few examples: 777-300ER on the SID leaving YMML, later on in the cruise on the same flight, same aircraft crossing the northern Atlantic, and most recently today doing the KDEN-KSFO tuto…

Hi, When using the ground operations before the departure the plan fuel value remains after the takeoff which means that once you reach the gate at arrival, the fuel loading starts again automatically during the unloading of the plane with the value set at the departure airport. My suggestion, if it is technically feasible would be that the fuel plan value would be reset to zero once the ground operations are completed (either when the turn time reaches zero or at any stage before the landing) so that when the ground operations start again at the destination airport, it would require to enter a new fuel plan value before start to load fuel again. For now I …

Apologize if this has been mentioned but the front page of the PMDG website is absolutely stunning - http://www.precisionmanuals.com/!! Kudos to the person who created it!

E bought the 777-300 extension and paid by PayPal. But I messed up and could not find the download link. In a hurry I bought the same again and this time I got it, and I downloaded the extension. When I tried to recover the unused payment I got a message to contact the administration, but I still do not know how to do it. (It would be OK either return to PayPal or to get a credit on my account.) Thanks for your attention Thomas Szego

Hi PMDG/All, I have had the 747 since release day and I wanted to provide some constrictive feedback which I hope will generate healthy discussion. It is appropriate to note here that I am overall impressed and the quality is consistent with previous releases (to which I have thousands of hours logged). I wanted to focus this post on the parts I would like to be improved/future features. I think it was good for the community as a whole to have the release co-incide with the FSL A320. I do not want to go into the comparative release issues with that product but I feel like I wanted to start by highlighting parts of that product I am extremely impres…
