Hello, I have a little issue with Operations Center when choosing Livery Downloader, like you see in the screenshot I have that option enabled. I added PMDG Operation Center directory on trusted sites in windows defender and in the firewall but I still have that message. OC was working perfectly but that message appeared yesterday. I saw on windows logs and no updates were applied (Im also running OC as an administrator). Please if someone came across with this, any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Juan Pablo Almeida

This post has been updated since the original post made earlier this afternoon: Downloads appear to be working again via the Operations Center and account pages. This may be intermittent as Amazon recovers, though it appears to be serviceable at the moment. For more detail, the edited original text follows: Earlier this afternoon, Amazon's AWS began to have issues that have affected a number of companies, apps, and services in various areas. This, of course, also included us as we use their network to quickly distribute our products worldwide. What this affected: -Product downloads (you can access your account and find order information and licens…

folks, i wanted to share with you, the beauty of my copy :D i'm about to begin the preflight of return flight LFPO-TFFR-LFPO. Here is 3 shots after walkaround.

Hello, I've been searching for the PMDG forum banners (like for the 747, 777 and 737) but can't seem to find them. There is a thread by PMDG about these banners but it isn't updated. I would like to have one for the 747. Thanks! Tomas

Hi, I tend to cheat somewhat and use the long-haul planes for shorter than normal trips. My favorite areas for tooling around in are the Chicago Area (hometown for now), Hawaii, West Coast, and the Caribbean. Here is what I have now and what I am looking for: Currently Installed - ORBX Textures, Vector, N/A Landclass, and airports noted below: 1. Chicago Area Meigs - ORBX - purchased Midway - Fly Tampa - purchased O'Hare - LOOKING FOR QUALITY AIRPORT St. Louis - LOOKING FOR QUALITY AIRPORT Buffalo - Fly Tampa (will buy this soon) 2. Hawaii All large airports and scenery - LOOKING TO BUY (please someone do this entire chain! Seems…

Title really sums it up, i have a few bucks burning a hold in my paypal account and i was initially considering the A2A Connie, but after recently getting the dash8 Q400 i think i will be ok passing on the connie for a little bit longer. Now, im sure eventually i will end up with both the 777 and 747, but can only get one now.. i already have the 737 and obviously love it. early on i was interested in the 777 because i wanted to do some real long haul flights. I know a lot of it comes down to 'what do i want out of it" and such things, and i think if i knew all those answers i wouldn't need input. I tend to prefer the more advanced technology so initially the 77…

Just want to say the new 747 is great and I have no complaints about the software model in simulation - simply amazing hand flying and ground operations, systems complexity, and realistic response across all systems and flight environments . I really like the customized configs, the updates to paints via the Ops Center, and the work that PMDG is doing to correct minor issues with the initial release. Looking forward to whatever the Team has up their sleeve for the next release (beyond the expansion -8i and -8F models).

Gents, any idea what would cause P3D to load what appears to be normally from the menu and then in to the situation only to have no visuals at all? No VC and no scenery?? I can hear engines and ground service vehicles running - but nothing out the front window,. I have never encountered this before and not sure what the heck is going on. Amy help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have 2 questions. 1. I bought the 777 and 777 expansion on one account, and then when the 747 came out, i was a little impatient for the password reset email and made a new account. Is there anyway to transfer a purchase over from one account to another. Needless to say, the reset password email never came so I cant access my keys for the 777 anymore. 2. I am considering P3D now with the rumored 64bit. Is there anyway to pay the difference and upgrade my purchases of the 747 and 777 to P3D? I would be happy have my old key deactivated for FSX, or anything really to get the P3D version of the products.

Hey everyone, First post on the forum, even though I've been following PMDG for quite some time now/watching the forum here. Before I get to the nitty gritty, just want to thank everyone on the forums and everyone at PMDG for putting out by far the best products/support in the FSX/P3D/Xplane community, I have lots of addons, but nothing really compares to the level of fidelity in PMDG aircraft, and the community is just as great. Thanks to everyone. So, I have had the PMDG 747v3 since release, and love it, haven't really had any problems outside of user error, until the flight I just completed tonight. After looking for other posts and digging through the FCO…

My current video card is: Radeon HD 5750 PCI Express X16 2.0 1GB GDDR5 Memory. When I fly on FS, the VAAS or OOMs meter from FSUIPC shows less than 2 GB mostly around 1.4GB. The other day, I was flying the original PMDG 744 and had strange sounds that seem to come from the video card as if it was about to lock up. My question is, if I upgrade my video card to 4-8 GB, will this help in reducing VAAS and/or OOMs issues? Thanks

First off let me confirm that I have went through the manual and fmc. All of my PNF Callouts are turned to YES. Also, all of my V-speeds, t/o, and approach callouts are YES. The issue that I am having is I am not getting any callouts, from PNF or EGPWS. Am I missing something or is a complete uninstall/install necessary?

I've flown the 777 in P3D for many months now and noticed this behavior frequently, and recently I started flying the 737 (P3D 3.4 as well) and this issue happens with this airplane too. Today it happend after the autobrake dismarm (via manual braking). It just freezes for about one or two seconds and comes back to normal. Any ideas on how to eliminate this? Thanks in advance.

I would like to get one of the two wide bodies, I just cannot decide which one, I like them both. One has been around for a while and the other one is brand new. Personally i like them both and I don't have a real preference. Does anyone have a pros/cons list of reasons for selecting one or the other? meaning, reasons related to hardware, bugs (if any), flying difficulty, realism or else thank you

Hi all, I would need help with the following I was setting up a flight from KDFW to KLAS using simbrief and got this route suggested: KDFW/18R SWABR4 BRHMA DCT CNX DCT ZUN DCT PGS TYSSN4 KLAS/07L My problem is that I cant find the SID SWABR4 on the current Navigraph charts for KDFW - its not mentioned anywhere, however in the FMS of QOTSII it is there, and also in FsTramp (which all are updated to the current cycle 02/17) For sure I am missing something, but what?? thanks in advance, regards

after completing the order through paypal and the pmdg website (which is having problems. "pmdg.com" works but "www.precisionmanuals.com/" says that the site cannot be reached.) I have the paypal receipt but nothing else. edit: was I supposed to register on pmdg before ordering?

Hey all, First of I want to thank PMDG and their hard work modeling these aircraft I have had several line pilots try the 737 and 74 and they were simply blown away at the accuracy of the sim and the systems. These have given me so much joy over the years with FSX its amazing. Any ways the only issue I am having is that when I install a Livery I will open PMDG Ops back up and I will see a Red Update button. I hit it and see it download assets but then it just stays Red and says Update after its finished. It seems that it is changing in the the skin in the sim but it never goes back to Green Installed button. So every-time I open it I don't know if theres an actual up…

Do y'all know one way or the other if there are plans to make expansion models for the QOTSII? The two main ones I'd love to see are the 747-400LCF and (obviously) the 747-8i/F.

hey guys. I'm upgrading my mobo, processor, GPUs but keeping my HDD with current installs of OS and P3D, will i have to drop my PMDG 73, 74, & 77 activation and reactivate after upgrade. Thx

An idea, it would be very helpful if there was an option to specify a distance from the TOD point for the sim to pause, rather than only having the option of pausing at the TOD. Two reasons - I find from time to time I am challenging to get down in time using the calculated TOD point, particularly if the TOD point is calculated based on a set of runways that would require a downwind leg, then while on-route the winds shift and you end up being cleared for a straight in approach. - When using things like FS2Crew, there are often items like the approach briefing that need to be done ~70nm before the TOD point. Even beyond FS2Crew, it would be nice to have some tim…

Hi Let Me start by saying i have never posted anything before so ,i don't even know if im in the right place. iv been simming for years fsx ,now p3d and i seem to have the same problem for years i would just put up with it because there are so many fixes out there and none work. so im very skeptical of fixes but will try anything at this point. my video card drivers stop responding and the screen goes black then white ,i still hear the sound i can still see my curser on the screan and can even turn nobs even though i have no idea what nob since i cannot see it. at the top of p3d it says that it is not responding. this ihappens every time im in a pmdg plane. ive given up…

Hi, I have already activated all my pmdg products (777/737/747) in P3D V3 and working ok. Now it asks again for activation and now i get this error: ERROR: flxActCommonRepairLocalTrustedStorage - (50044,71013,1).- This error appear on all products.- I have not modificated anything in my Pc or Simulator or OS.- I hope you could help me. Thank you very much Regards Leccu

Captains, You are cleared for pushback and start on engines one, two, three and four! I will keep this brief, because I know most of you won’t even have read this far, but our flagship product, the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II is now available for purchase! Thank you to all of you for your continued support of the PMDG team, our products, our quirks and our obsession with providing you with the most detailed simulation products imaginable. If it were not for your interest in our work, this simply wouldn’t be possible. We know you will love the new 747- and we have put a tremendous amount of ourselves into this project during the past 42 months. We …

Hi guys. I'm assuming that going over the 250 hour maintenance period and failing to service will increase the chance of component failure. Does anyone know exactly how this works?
