Hello!I like the 747 much, but in my 10 flights until now with her I have the follow problem....I be on the optimal cruise level show by the FMC.My gross weight is 711.0 and I was depart EHAM (Amsterdam) for a hop to KEWR (New york).At cruise at 32.000 I encounter bad weahter over GB with turbulences... VNAV and LNAV + Autothrottle (cruise) was active...My engines was run at 101% RPM but I can see I lost speed about 1 knot every 2 seconds in the turbulent area.... winds aloft is off, so it was not a sudden wind change......my speed goes back into the yellow (stick shaker become active) and I start a decent because meanwhile my aoa was at about 12 degree....I was forced to…

New upload to NAVData and AVSIM Flight Plans libraries. All procedures updated to include missing constraints and STARS are connected to approaches where disconnects used to occur. In cases where the procedures invoke ATC vectors, I have included xxxxx.ATC procedures for pilots flying with VATSIM. The DAFIF has a couple of obsolete fixes and these are been updated as well.

all,I have the 747-400, and yet again the speeds are anoying me.When i'm climbing from 10,000 feet, everything is ok, but when i get to 28,000 ft, my airspeed drops. I know about the air pressure, it's just the speed keeps dropping. Today i was having a flight, and my speed dropped so low that it stalled. Am i doing anything wrong?(ps i wasn't over wieght)robbie

As a captain of MD-11 flying for the Brazilian Airline VARIG with 15.000 total hours (2000 on type) and a FS2004 pilot proficient in several PMDG products, I would like to became a BETA tester for the new MD-11, as a volunteer, in order to help you to make the best airplane ever made.Waiting to hear from you soon,Regards,Capt. Reinaldo MENEGOLI

Just a quick one.Sometimes after landing on my chosen runway, and after disengaging thew AP, the plane continues to stick to a specific heading and no matter how I manually try to steer her onto a taxiway, she keeps pulling back hard on the ground to previous course.Anyone know what is happening, and how to stop it? Or, better still, what am I doing wrong?Anthony ReesCape TownSouth Africa

Why do I have all the standard fs2004 guages in my beech 1900? I mean the nd, the pfd and all the flaps and light switches?!! What's wrong?

Hi,I had to reinstall MSFS and of course My 737NG.However after the update to 737-800-900 the overhead panel has large brown opaque panels. I removed everything again with the remove tool, reinstalled, same story. I deleeted the fs9.cfg file and reinstalled again. The panel goes crazy after the 700-800 update.Help please !Martin

Just want to congratulate Ryan and the PMDG team for this great and interesting new feature! This is going to be a truely remarkable tool for finding help, suggestions and tips etc and I'm looking forward to using it :)Coupled with this is a screenie of the MD-11 and also the news I passed my first 7 ATPL exams today :)What a great day

I have recently acquired the 747-400 and am having the best flight sim experience ever in the many years I have used computer sims; what a great package - this tops them all.Well done to the PMDG guys for providing the Type Rating Course notes for the 400; they are certainly getting me up to speed with the operations, characteristics and capabilities of the 400.I have a couple of questions that I would appreciate feedback on:1. Which is the correct procedure for lining up the IRS during a cold and dark start? I am a little confused between using the one published in the PMDG 747-400 Aircraft Operating Manaul and FMC Handbbok (.pdf doc on the website), or what was provid…

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I suddenly can't see to be able to get the autopilot to come on???I had to do a reinstall of FS9.1 and after reinstalling my 737 I tried a quick flight. It worked fine before but now everytime I hit the autopilot button I get the noise you get when you hit the disengage button and the FMC alert far left A/P light comes on in red.I am sure this is something really silly but cannot figure what I am doing wrong.Please help someone this is driving me nuts!CheersGraham

have tryed every thing to unzip lesson 1at wits end havent got a clue what to do next HELP

Everything is set up fine. I'm at 30 flaps, speed is fine. Autoland 3 is okay. Autothrottle has remained on throughtout the flight, and is on now. Autopilot is on. Touchdown is uneventful and looks perfect. Reverse thrust (F2) seems to come up and the spoilers are working. Auto Brakes are working. But then, all heck breaks loose. I can't stop the bird and it powers up and can't be stopped. I don't seem to have any steering control. And alarms are going off. Nothing shows on the FMC or EICAS. My checklist shows to disarm the Autothrottle arm switch during taxi in. Disabling the autopilot (3) doesn't make sense if I'm in AutoLand and it makes such a racket durin…

I'm sure this is probably a silly question, but with regard to using the email address I used when purchasing my PMDG products, what if I've changed it?Originally I was using a Hotmail address when I purchased the 737s and 744 pax. I'm now using a proper address which is the one I use to login the the PMDG E-commerce section and is also the one I used to purchase the 744 freighter.So would I be correct in using the current non-Hotmail address to register for PMDG Ops?Thanks.

Hi allBasically - what are they?Also, for any ILS approach anywhere, is the decision height standard for that category ILS approach?Thanks for any helpRudy

Posted for Andrew since he can't get on the forum:Good dayI am a proud owner of the PMDG flight package, and it is all I fly with these days. I am also an active member of a VA. I fly mostly with the PMDG model 737-900, however I would really like to see a Delta livery available for this model as it coincides w/ DVA. I would like to ask the PMDG team if it would be possible to provide a Delta scheme for the Boeing 737-900? I greatly appreciate this, as I know there are quite a few members of my VA that would like to have one. In any case you can count on more business from me, as I am very pleased w/ the product. Thankyou for your consideration in this request. Re…

I don't remember when exactly this happened but today when I was planning a flight I wasn't able to use any SIDs. I was departing KORD for KLAX and the app/dep screen did not have any SIDs for KORD. I tried updating my airac to 0513 and the pmdg sid/star from planepath.com. None of this seemed to resolve the problem. Does anyone know how to get SIDs back into the FMC?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/150024.jpg

I'm new to PMDG 747-400. What I'm wanting to do is have EPR on the upper Eicas . I have tried different setting but still not able to get this. Thanks

This video is a great one of a Cathay 744 departing EGLL. Nice procedural type video. Enjoy gents.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=41...11184&q=cockpitEric

Hi,in the WOB2G for EGLL, defined as follows: SID WOB2G RNW 27L KEEP HDG UNTIL 580 KEEP HDG UNTIL RADIAL 121 FROM NAVAID BUR NAVAID BUR NAVAID WOBUNa strange circle appears between BUR and WOBUN.It seems to have been noted already but I do not remember if a solution was found. For the moment I just press on Heading and resume LNAV after WOBUN. Any other solution ?Patrick

1) What are the specific procedures for the 737-700 out of KSNA for noise abatement 19R? what altitude you set climb thrust, after a full power bleeds off t/o out of there would you select CLB2 or CLB1, my guess is 2 to save wear on the engines but for KSNA im not sure.2) Is there some kind of software that simulates Accuload or any kind of dispacth software for the 737? I heard Mats was working on one. Does anyone know the status of it?3) In real life when taking off in a 737-700 vs the 737-300 or -500 when the pilots give it full power why does it sound like the packs are turning off, the loud humming noise of the packs or gasper fan slowly turns off and pretty much it …

Okay, I've been determined not to post here for some time yet, but this has me stumped.For my last couple of flights (into big cities such has Tokyo) I've selected the runway frequency in Dep/Arr, and gone to NAVRAD to double-click on it so it shows on the ..... can't remember the name, but you'll know what I mean!Just lately, under ILS/MLS I get "PARK", and no frequency. I've gone to the airport in MAP, got the frequency but not sure how to get it added in NAVRAD.Any help would be much appreciated.It's a recent problem, I haven't (intentionally) changed any settings, and all the relevant d/loads have been done and installed.CheersTimNZWN

This is not likely a PMDG issue but I pretty much stay here so I thought i would post.THe screen shot is taken on approach ILS KSJC 12RThe building in the foreground has caused more than a few problmes, and certainly doesnt actually exist.Im curious if anyone knows how to remove it and if you can reproduce this problem

This will probably be an easy one for the experts. When I first installed the 737NG I feel sure there was an option in the PMDG menu to set up how you wanted the a/craft to load up i.e. cold and dark, powered with engines off, engines running, etc.However, since adding the 800/900 I cannot find where to set this up? Can anyone assist me please? Thanks.Iain

Interesting information,It look's like it will be a challange,but PMDG are the best. http://www.airbusdriver.net/
