PMDG General Forum

Hi all,Just one small question: I'm still having doubts on the PROGRESS PAGE 2 of the FMC: immediately after landing, the fuel used value reset itself at the same time as the ZFW entry reset. Is it an issue, or is it just normal? Thought this value as well as the ZFW entry did reset only when deleting the ORIGIN on the route page.Also, I dont get the END OF ROUTE message anymore.Any ideas?[EDIT] sorry I forgot to mention I use both 744 and 744F (1.01) up to date and I havent found anything on the subject on both manuals...Thanks,

Hello...Tried to use PMDG 737 and received an error message....Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft or software....File.Guages/ PMDG_737NG_MAIN_GAU. My other aircraft work fine without this error message....Regards...TH

Hiya,No idea whats going on here, but hopefully someone does!Anyway, I've got the Aerosoft boxed version of the 737- Queen of the Skies, but a very minor problem-Whenever I apply any sort of power, the displays blank & don't come back.I'm assuming this must be something I've missed in the preflights?Thanks.Chris Lees

Hi guys....Finally got me a 2nd monitor and all is well and finally got the undocking panels to work...The problem is that my main monitor (Main Panel) is at Rez 1280x1024 And the 2nd monitor (overhead Panel) seems to be 800x600.... Basically the 2nd monitor seems to goto a lower rez..I apologize if this in the wrong area or this has been explained before..But im using PMDG 737 as a test bed to get used to the 2nd monitor panel setups..Thxs in advance :)

All,I have the PMDG 747-400, and an FMC problem occurs.I was planning to fly from Dubai Intl to Amsterdam.When i was choosing which runway to land at, it wasn't in the list. Runway 1R was not in the List so i could not land there (which causes me to land at another runway when ATC won't give me permission to land there)This has happened to many airports. I have installed the NAV Data, but missing waypoints and runways are still an issue.Could anyone help me please?thanks,robbie

I havent found any reference to this so I thought I should post it. Twice now I have attempted to employ DES NOW on the fmc near TD, execute lights up, as soon as I press execute, dead freeze unrecoverable program stop. FS9 is deadupdated 747F with active sky runningI wonder if anyone else has seen this issue, not major, and the first problem I have ever encountered with the productsThanksMike

Hey everyone,Can someone explain to me how to change the altimeter in the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies? Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Joshuah

Hi Guys, Most of the time when I swith the autopilot button on I can then click the necessary buttons to set heading and rate of climb etc. Sometimes though, The other lights won't go on when I press them and the plane starts doing dangerous things. If I keep trying and switching autopilot on and off, eventually it will work. Does anyone know how to stop this happening? I have looked for an answer in the manual. I am using only autopilot and not the FMC. Thanks Calum

I just recently had to reformat my computer do to some spyware issues FUN FUN! Anyway im one of those people that has to have all the liveries i don't know why i just do lol. But i hate downloading each and everyone of them one at a time. Could you possibly consider combining them all into one installer for those of us that wants to download them all?EditSorry i keep forgetting to sign my name Regards,Ryan

Well, finally fulfilled a little dream of mine

Hi all,I've looked all over this forum and the manuals but cannot find a clear answer to the question:Is there a pushback guage in the VC of the 747?Apologies if it's written in large red block capitals somewhere in one of the PDFs but I just couldn't see it!ThanksChris Norris - BAW1072

Bon jour,est ce qu'il existe ce produit en boite avec DVD ou seulement en "download" ??merci JM GAUTERAU 19100 FRANCE

Does anyone have a link to the above livery?. I have the West Jet 737-700 livery from the PMDG site but I've yet to find the West Jet livery for the 600 anywhere.Any help would be much appreciated.ThanxMark

The only thing thats a bit strange for me as a German native is the Controller-Lady :)very funny though

Quick question, with the autopilot engaged, when it trims the tail plane why are the pilots aurally alerted? I believe the same happens with the ATR series of aircraft. And why don't Airbus/Boeing aircraft have this warning?Thanks,Paul

Hello All, I cannot get any of the Vertical modes to work. My bird climbs through selected altitudes, does not hold selected vertical speeds, VNAV does not work and computed VNAV airspeeds are not held. Lateral Nav modes all work well. What am I doing wrong?Regards,Stephen Shallcross

Serval times when im reching V1 at takeoff, i've got an engine failure and engine shutdown. ALL failures in PMDG failure manager and fs build in failure manager and are set to off :S Please help : |

please can somebody tell me where to find this on the 737ng looked everywhere.Ian Paul Melin-Joneswww.evair.com

How do you enter an alternate airport into the B737NG FMC so that after reaching your planned destination and then having to divert your get the alternate route details and can access the DEST (alternate) to select the duty runway and have the relevant details displayed on the INIT REF page?Neil BYPAD

It seems as though the latest navdata didnt make its way into my flight computer. After reading previous posts, im pretty sure I installed them correctly is there any trick? Self install doesnt work??Thanks Al

The chronometer goes the same speed regardless of the simulation rate. The clock correctly pays attention to it.That should be a simple fix.Lee Hetherington (KBED)

Sometimes when flying the 737 pmdg the a/t switch wont engage, it comes on and then it flips off, the little annunciator light comes on and says "check fms", but i am not flying with the fms in the vnav mode , ? why wont the a/t engage , thankspeter

Hi,I've contacted PMDG twice about a review copy and recieved an e-mail saying that you were experiencing normal load and I should get a reply shortly et cetera but never got one!Sometimes there seems to be a problem with my e-mail server (Gawab) not sending e-mails, but their tech support assured me that they had fixed it. Another problem is that, according to Paul Golding of Dreamfleet, spam filters seem to pick up all my e-mails! Could you just let me know whether you've recieved it or whether I need to resend it.Thanks,Jacob Fordham
