PMDG General Forum

Hi, I've been flying the NG since the day it came out and have never had a problem with it until today. Now for some reason every time I try to load the 737 my flightsim crashes and the error is caused by "panels.dll". The only thing I can think of that I've changed lately is updating the fsuipc to version 3.7. I did a forum search for this error and most of the posts were over a year old. Any Ideas?Thanks,Will

I have recently purchased the PMDG 737 and always use my computor key-pad to operate my radio to speak to ATC, but I find with the 737 only key pad number 3 seems to work.All my other aircraft seem to work fine, can sombody please help Thanks Keflin.

hello guys,was wondering if any one have seen this livery for pmdg or working on it ???!!see youphil

Helo Guys!I have the 747-400 pax version.I also have the SimWings Paris 2005 scenery.This scenery has active gates, you have to tune a freq to nav2 and the gate will comes to the plane.My problem: i tune the freq to nav2, the gate comes to the plane and when it reaches the plane starts moving back and comes in and back... until i set another freq.I have tried with other addon planes and worked fine.Does anybody have the same problem?Any idea why?Gyula

Hi all!I want to know which is the correct Cost Index for the NG737-600/7/8/9?.Thanx in advanceSantiago :)

Hey Everyone,I haven't had the 737 series installed in a long time and I finally got around to redownloading it and installing it again. I can't remember now - does the 800/900 upgrade also upgrade the 600/700 VC so that 1) the lower display works, 2) rain appears on the windshield and 3) misc gauges that were added in the 800/900 appear in the 600/700 VC?I tried to search but nothing really came up and I find the search funtion on the Avsim forums less than stellar, so I appologize (and premptively make excuses :D) if this is easily covered somewhere.Thanks!

Registered users of FSUIPC that have an axis to spare may want to check this out:"1. (New in 3.617) A new axis control is added, for direct assignment in the Axis assignments tab, for a Steering Tiller. This uses the FS Rudder control, but can be calibrated separately (eg to be more responsive -- use the inverse S-shaped slope options).If the steering tiller axis is assigned, you must then calibrate it in FSUIPC's Joysticks section (this is on the same page as the PAN controls, sorry). It is then used as follows:When on the ground and at any ground speed less than 60 knots (default -- adjustable by MaxSteerSpeed parameter in the INI), the actual FS rudder action is contro…

I've got the 1900D (the one with the slightly modified FS King Air panel). The A/P snakes endlessly when capturing the localiser---even using a 20 degree intercept at the correct airspeed! (No problem with the glide.) I'm pretty clueless on the software side. Who can help me 'tune' the A/P localiser capture function? ThanksGWI [EGKA]PS: No such problem with the 1900C---except always having to bring the throttle quadrant up to change A/P functions. Otherwise, the 1900C is great!

Hi,After a complete re-install of the PMDG 737,747 and 744F and am now only getting a continues maximum of 1 FPS in the PMDG 747 as opposed to the 20-25 FPS i was getting pre the re-install.Could anyone please help me?Thanks,Brandon

I have the PMDG Boeing 744 and the Flight 1/Dreamfleet 727. On the 727 when you use the breaks they make a groaning sound. I absolutely love it and want to have my 744 do the same. I have located the wav file for the brakes sound and am wondering if anyone knows where I can place it/rename it in the 744. Any ideas?CheersGraham

During the last few approaches, I have intercepted the G/s and Localizer on autopilot but even with both engauged, it still reads single command in the PFD. Is this a bug or am I forgetting something?Thanks, Alex

I just noticed this morning my 738 appears to have flaperons!! I have never herd of this can someone elaborate? What controls them why do they adjust? Why are they needed? I can find no control or switch for which to control them.Thanks, Alex

hi, when should I get the "center fuel tank press" eicas message? at approx. 0.9 tons (1980 lbs) both center tank press lights illuminate on the overhead panel, and the center pump indications also turn yellow on the lower eicas, but I don't get any message on the upper eicas. why? do I turn them off too early? p.s. all the updates are installed. regards, Rob

I have read the numerous posts on flying the excellent PMDG B744 regarding computer freezing. But having tried everything suggested on my PC I cant seem to erradicate this problem. i can usually fly for around 30-45 minutes before the system freezes and I have to re-boot. This doesnt happen with the Leel D B767.AMD 64 FX-571G OF RAMGeforce FX Video Card.Windows XP (SP2) + MSFS + MS Office + Norton Anti virus. NA V and the firewalls are disabled before flying.Average Running Temperature is 56 CI have a super turbo fan cooled system, no idea whaht it is though.We would really appreciate some help.Best Wishes and Many thanks,ChrisEGBB ~ UK

I've looked through the manuals and the search faciltity in the forum but i cant seem to find a straight answer on how to operate the steering tiller on the PMDG 744 series. Is there one for the PMDG 737NG series as well?Please can somebody point me in the right direction?

Hi Gang,I have the 736/7/8/900 and am experiencing something odd I didn't experience with the 737/6/7. I installed the 738/9At the other night. After setting the throttles and about 10 seconds in the roll the throttles kick back to 20%. This happens w/ and w/o using the FMC, A/T or the T/GA and occurs during approach as well. All systems appear to be set and normal. Another oddity, the Air Conidtion caution light keeps coming on about every 15 min.I have the update 3.0 installed.Any ideas what may be casuing this?ThanksBill

Hi,On rotation I get the stick shaker sounding, I am well below the PLIs. Is there a fix?Thanks,Paul

Hi allWhen I am at an airport such as Sydney International (YSSY) and see the big 747's arriving or departing (love the QF's), I've always noticed that their strobe lights flash at regular intervals - eg flash, wait, flash, wait. But watching the PMDG 747-400 & Freighter, the strobes flash at irregular intervals - eg flash, wait, wait, flash, flash, wait, wait, wait...Is there a patch or manual way to fix this ourselves? I don't see this problem with the PMDG 737 series or other PMDG products, so I don't understand why the 747 does it.Hoping someone may be of assistance with this enquiry and any help would be much appreciated.Kind regards,Matthew

Over the last couple of days I have been putting together a new (freeware) tool for PMDG's B747-400F that you can download via this link: www.liljendal.dk/flightsim/RandomCockpitB744.zipNormally when you are doing your Initial Cockpit Preparaion it is a dull no-brainer as every button is where you left it the last time (as it was saved in the Flight/Panel-states). When it comes to flying a long flight over several sections this is a good thing, but when it comes to entering the same "Dark and Cold" cockpit on EVERY flight its becomed abit "dull". Basically this tool lets you specify the probabillity of what should could/should change and then it inject these changes into …

Hello,yesterday I flew to EGLL with the 737NG, but there weren't any runways in the FMC for that airport. When entering EGLL as departure or destination airport, the message "ERR05 - RWY UNKNOWN" shows up.I was browsing the forum and found out that this might have to do with the AIRAC data, but I have the problem with cycle 06-06 (which was my last) as well as with the current 06-08.The airport with all rwys is in the wmNavAPT file in navdata; all SID/STAR data are in the respective file.What is messed up?RegardsBoris

Hi,I've just recently purchased the 737NG series from PMDG (including the -800/900 upgrade), and I must say, I'm finding the aircraft very enjoyable! :) Yet I noticed an issue with the ND on the aircraft -- All directions are made in magnetic, yet when a runway is programmed, it is put in True heading. Take a look:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/vac4255/737_true.jpgThe aircraft is heading straight down the runway at CYEG on 02, yet according to the ND, I am 20 degrees off the runway centreline. Yet, if I go to a place a lot closer to where the True and Magnetic headings meet, such as Thunder Bay, the deviation is much smaller, showing the issue is the heading is in…
