Dear PMDG team, Simply put... WOW! I'm on my second flight with the 747v3 (flying flawlessly so far) and I'm completely amazed by this new addon! Smooth FPS, reasonable VAS usage, immersive sound... a lot of great features. Well, being a proud user of PMDG addons for years (owning the MD-11, 747v1, 777, NGX and JS41), I shouldn't be surprised by the quality of this new rendering of the 747. However, it seems that you succeeded in raising the bar even higher in terms of realism, quality and immersion. The downside of this is I might may become cut off from the real world! Seriously, many thanks and congrats for always giving us the best to fulfil our passi…

I'm trying to setup database profiles for PFPX and I'm looking for specifications, but everything I found so far, has different numbers. For example: I found a post on here with TOPCAT profiles for the 737-900 and it says that DOW is 94600 lb, but when I look in P3D, in the performance section of the aircraft page, I see the number 90710 lb, but when I look in PFPX, I see 102000 lb, and so on... I asume the manual has a specification section, but I've been searching all afternoon, but I cant find it. I've been googling, but I only find more diffrent numbers. I'm looking for a list with at least all numbers I need for TOPCAT and PFPX, that corresponds to the numbers t…

Hello fellow PMDG-users, For me it is not possible to get into the PMDG operations center (the updater works fine) It gave me the following text: 02/08/17 21:57:11 Exception: Access Violation at 0x0 00870000 C:\Program Files (x86)\PMDG Operations Center\PMDG Operations Center.exe +000121ED (899D68, 71A748B4, 882884) 00870000 C:\Program Files (x86)\PMDG Operations Center\PMDG Operations Center.exe +00015008 (8845A0, 2F0540, 8845A0) 76160000 C:\Windows\System32\USER32.dll +0002D2B3 (2F0540, 110, D0628) 76160000 C:\Windows\System32\USER32.dll +0001E462 (8845A0, 2F0540, 110) 76160000 C:\Windows\System32\USER32.dll +0001E3A5 (110, D0628, 0…

Hello I have a VA livery from the previous PMDG 747 version. But I have tried to install the old livery with no success. Thanks for your help in advance... INSTALLATION: 1) Locate the PMDG747-400 folder located within your FS directory (/Simobjects/Airplanes/PMDG747-400). 2) Create a new sub-folder within PMDG747-400 and name it "texture.abc" (no quotes). 3) Copy all files from the original PMDG 'texture.RR' folder to the new folder named 'texture.abc'. 4) Extract the files from the attached 'pmdg_abc_tex.zip' file to the 'texture.abc' folder overwriting all files when prompted. 5) IMPORTANT! Backup the original Aircraft.cfg file located in the PMDG747-400 r…

Hi. Something I've always wondered about buying with PMDG. There is a PayPal credit option when you get to the shopping basket. Thing is, when you click it, it doesn't seem to be any different from paying the normal way with paypal. Can someone from PMDG confirm if you offer paypal credit? Callum Green.

Hi, I am having a strange issue after landing with the autobrake. After disarming with the toe brakes I get a yellow "autobrake" message confirming the disarm however when I try to clean the a/c up after landing I switch the autobrake knob to the off position and a/c completely brakes to a full stop? I have the brakes assigned through P3D and not FSUIPC. Is anybody else having this issue or am I missing something? Regards Lorenzo

This video gave me some inspiration to jump in the new PMDG 747QOTSIII and smoke some aircraft butt. :p0503:

Hello PMDG, I would really like to know if you´ll make an update price for the 737 and 777 update because if I would buy the 737 and 777 for about 200 euros and only the base packages I wouldn´t be so happy if PMDG then says that we have to purchase a completely new copy of the 737 and 777 to get the update. So if I don´t know that, you won´t get ma as an purchaser for 737 and 777 until the updates are released:) Regards:)

Hi, I'm posting this issue here as I have tried in the P3D forum as well as over at LM, and am getting no advice or tips at all. Firstly, I am in no way suggesting this is a problem due to PMDG aircraft, but it manifests itself on long haul flights, and of course, PMDG aircraft are the only ones fit for that purpose! I was hoping for simply some insight or advice. I have been getting these crashes at the end of long haul flights - my latest one YSSY-KDFW occurred 500 nm from the destination. So, the system has been operating for up to 10+ hours, and then the crash occurs. I can't seem to find a common denominator. P3D Client 19868 Win 7 Pro 64 bit GT…

Dear PMDG team, The work that you have done with the 747 QOTSII is truly amazing and I've been enjoying this master piece since release day without issues, but there are some little details that are missing (e.g. Shutdown alarm) and some of them are like 777 alarms. So, I hope to see those sounds included on a future update (if you're planning it) to continue enjoying this awesome bird. Thank you very much! THIS LINK WILL HELP YOU TO KNOW WHAT SOUNDS I'M TALKING ABOUT:

Hi I need to login to log a PMDG support ticket, but when I do I cant get in. I try logging in and it says email address not found, and then when I try and register it says email address already in use. Not quite sure what I am supposed to do. Any ideas guys? Thanks Ben Morton

It all started late last night at the Chicago O'Hare International Airport. I had picked this airport given the weather conditions at the time, and our aircraft was the Boeing 747-400ERF. Given that it was a test flight, we were light and empty with 20,000 pounds of fuel on board. Weather conditions were quite foggy with some thunderstorms in the area, a good time to test the weather radar out. With the plane lined up on runway 28 right, we went full power and were off the ground in eleven seconds. After being airborne for a while and confirming the functions of the weather radar, it was time to land. BUT....there was a slight problem. I hadn't actually programmed anythin…

Now that EZdok Camera Version 2 is out, I'm looking for recommendations for the best PMDG 737/777/747 profiles. The EZdok website has some PMDG downloads, but I find them a bit unrealistic, especially on the ground. I welcome any suggestions for the best PMDG profiles. Happy flights!

I’ve got to open by apologizing if this is going against any forum rules (incidentally I find there seems to be as many rules for flight sim forums as there are for IFR :wink: ). The release of QOTS v3 (I think I have that right) marks the beginning of my return to flight simulation after a brief hiatus, and I’m interested to gain insight into the future of flight sims through the PMDG lens. I remember several years ago Rob stating that there are very exciting things in store for the future of the community, and I’m wondering, insofar as anyone can reveal, what some of those things are. (I’m aware of the suggestions of a 64 bit P3D perhaps sometime later this …

Click spot are sometimes not clickable some times it works sometimes it doesn't how can I fix this ? is anyone else having the same issue?

After getting the odd crash i decided to use the auto save feature and set it to 10min and keeping one file. Problem is that it causes the sim(P3D) to freeze for 5 seconds then continue as normal, anyway to stop this and has anyone else got this problem? Thanks.

Hello All, Just a bit of info you may be interested in. I have now got in place for the 737ngx, 777 and 747-400QOSv2 an interface for the MCP from Go-flight for all three, plus an interface for all three FMC from Mark Foti Sim Server. Having this in place gives you greater control of each aircraft and eliminates using the Mouse. Happy flier. Regards.

Still a work in progress but getting closer. Given a recent article saying Amazon is investing 1.4 Billion into CVG its looking more and more likely a DHL and Amazon partnership. Which could mean more heavy lift as they work together. A 747 Prime Air variant isn't so far fetched. What ya think?

I started with N2331U, United's first 777-300ER. Since the Queen is out, and a frequent resident of my home airport KIAH, I thought I'd start painting the Queen in the livery I see most. I know I will be a busy painter with this bird, but I wont be able to mass produce the way the PMDG team does. :wink: My list so far: Boeing 777-300ER United Airlines N2331U Boeing 747-400 Atlas Air N322SG (Gold Tail) - In the works! Stay tuned for more! Here is my first teaser:

Good Day, Since I updated my fleet from the PMDG ops center when the 747 QOS II was released, I have been receiving "RWY N/A" for both CYYC and KORD. I did some research and the other forums suggest deleting "ARPT_RWY" and the plane will create a new one. This did not work. I downloaded Peter Dowson`s Make Runways program and ran it. This did not work either. Finally I attempted to go into the sids/stars folder and manually enter runways which provided no joy. This is a problem on my MD-11, 737, 747v3 and 777 Here are the forums I found on the subject. http://www.avsim.com/topic/467054-fms-error-message-cyvr-err-12-rwy-na/ http://www.avsim.com/topic/503221-…

I have a question about the Unregister option in the FMC, I have to re-install P3D thus the addon's. But I can't get into P3D (something hosed it) to unregister the 747 and 737 NGX. Will I be able to reinstall the PMDG planes after I re-install P3D?

Hi Folks I bought the PMDG 737NGX CD/DVD a few years ago. My PMDG Operations Centre message reads "FSX 737NGX New update available".However when I click on the OK button, the message there reads " CD/DVD Customers. This update is not yet available. We are working on a solution for CD/DVD customers". This situation has not changed over the past 18 months or so. Can someone tell me if solution can be expected soon? Andy
