PMDG General Forum

Hi guys,I'm looking to get the F1 ultimate terrain packages plus some decent meshes for US and Europe.Have any PMDG 744/F owners experienced any conflicts or performance issues running both at the same time?Really like the look of the packages but I won't bother if it will reduce my 747 to a slideshow.Comments appreciated, thanks!Mark

Hi there. I

Hi,Are there any list of variables to read/write to them when interfacing external hardware using FSUIPC and WIDEFS. In other words, how can I read directly, and write to the variables used by PMDG when interfacing external hardware to it ?Thanks,UT

Hi Rob,Im planning on trip to visit my kids in the reno area. I read your post about the B-17. Being PMDG fans, we would love to meet you while there.Any plans yet>?thanks your loyal customer,Capn' Oz

I came across this photo:http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0100...=COCKPIT&size=L(appologies for the string, but i could not shrink to fit to make it readable)The upper EICAS show "THERAP OXYGEN ON". What is it exactly? is it for the flight deck only, or is it througout the cabin?I am also curious to know what that radar-looking contraption is front of the pilot's left knee.thanks,tom

Gents,I was wondering if two people can control the same plane at the same time. Meaning, one person being the left side, and another on the right?Is there any way to do that? I am looking for QOTS enthusiasts in the New York area so we can fly tandem.Thanks in advance,Tomas

Hey guys & gals! I am a new owner of the PMDG 747-400, but the PFD and EHSI on the Captain's side are both dark, even when engines are all started and I'm even taxiing! How do I get them to come alive?

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but how exactly does the FPV work? I looked in the manual but I can't find then answer.

Can someone PLEASE! Help!I

Hi All, I have been operating the mighty 744 since PMDG released her without any issue, However the last week i have seem to have lost my TCAS plots on the nav display. The TCAS is armed on the comm panel and pressed on the range selector and i have TFC in blue on the display. I can be surrounded by traffic at say egll of kjfk and still no plots ND. Can anyone help please?Dal:-wave

Is it possible to create a flight plan in fs navigator or fs 9.1 and import it into the fms of the 737-900..thanks ....

Hi everyone, this may have been asked in previous posts but I would like to know when you are to activate VNAV and LNAV after departure. Could someone please help with this?Jason

On the 737-600 and 737-700 aircraft panels, does anyone know if the (TERR) button on the EFIS Control Panel works?And if yes what does it do??I can

Hi,I wanted to fly from Paris to Rio de Janeiro, that is a 5042Nm flights, so I went through the fuel planning bit of the documentation my weight was 485,000 lbs, so I planned for 212000+10000 of fuel for the trip, on top of that I added 25000lbs of reserve and 10000 lbs in case. Well, in total I entered 259000 lbs of fuel.I entered the flight into the FMC and the fuel prediction when I activated the route gave me a remaining fuel of 17000 lbs, which I translated as 236000 lbs of fuel needed for the flight, which was much more than the predicted 222000 lbs originally planned, what would cause such a difference?I didn't enter any winds prior to the FMC giving me these figu…

When I load PMDG 737 NG 600/700 and then try to open FS2004, I get two error messages. First, "FSUIPC has a problem! The version of FS2004 detected is not compatible with this version of FSUIPC! It is build 9.01.40901.... You need the correct version of FS2004. Check the help about. The build should be 9.00.30612. FSUIPC will terminate when you press OK." Second, "Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft or software. You can continue using Flight Simulator but this aircraft or software will be disabled. File: FSUIPC.dll."Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to work?

Does anyone know if you can opperate the pmdg fmc with a touch screen monitor and not mouse.Regards Paul

Hello,I'm following a tutorial for this fabulous plane and I've some problems... first I find the climb rate set by the FMC really slow... second, I don't understand why when my tutorial ask me toput off the X-FEED system after take-off, I get a warning "X-FEED config"...If someone can help me on this two issues.Thanks !

Hey guys,have installed the PMDG 747, and the load manager worked fine the first time. The next time I went to use it, I double clicked on the shortcut on my desktop. All that happens, is that the small hourglass comes up like its going to open, then nothing happens. I can click on it a few times and nothing happens. So basically I can't get into the 747 load manager at all now...quite annoying, as I can't change loads and do proper flights.Any suggestions?

hi , I noticed that the PMDG 744 FMC Position is displayed correctly depending on if you have the GPS NAV active or not . But the autopilot will nevertheless follow use GPS to navigate. With only the IRS Navigation active, in the ND it's clear that the Autopilot doesn't follow the displayed track . In this pic it's not clear why it keeps flying slightly right off track :http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4590/irsweirdo0ut.jpgBut here it

Hi everyone,While learning to handle the 737, I've come across some questions that I cannot answer for myself:1. About the Maximum ZFW (or any other maximum weight) on page 5 chapter 2 of the manual, I found some discrepancies when checking against www.b737.org.uk. The official Boeing document explains such discrepancies with several different weights for the same model (3 different weights for the -600 for example). Are those different weights representative of some kind of sub-models?(http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airports/acaps/737sec2.pdf)2. (this one's easy) What's the correct way to load fuel into the aircraft? The standard FS2004 fuel and payload menu?3. The fue…

I want to start at the gate cold and dark. How do I achieve this? thanksbrian

Thank you for your 747-400 side views.But one thing I can't understand is that you said in the ReadMe txt.that "be sure to UNCHECK the option to display the virtual cockpit in the PMDG options module" Why is that ? I think if I leave it checked then I can go to the VC if I want. Tokyo Boy

At what call out should the flare be initiated? With the 767 I start at the 30 call out but that does not seem to work too well with the 747. SO I tried flaring at 50 but I think I reduced power too soon and landed heavily. Is there some ground effect or should I carry power into the flare? My over the numbers speed is VREF +10 give or take a few knots.Gerry
