PMDG General Forum

I have searched the forum. Could some explain to me why the Autobrake light stays on? I have made sure that there are no failures set. Also the autobrakes dont deploy upon landing. What could it be?thanks

LNAV enroute bank angles seem excessive... I've been flying it for three months and every course change surprises me with up to 30 deg bank angles. Seems excessive at cruise speeds and never noticed it as a passenger (fairly often). I always assumed they limited their bank angles to 15 deg, which of course means a much longer radius turn but no one is trying to maintain std rate turns at 0.80M.

Printed the PMDG 737 NG / 747 - 400 Keyboard Assignments listCould net get the SAITEC to workNoticed that the keycombination in combination with the command dont matchExample MCP INCREASE HEADING says CTRL+Shft+9 but if i push that into the keyboard mu MCP Decrease Altitute starts working insteadWhere can i find the true assignments so i can program my SAITEC x52How do myou program a tab inside a string like Ctrl+tab+7. It dont work at allThanks

I have a slight problem. I purchased the 1900c last week and I'm missing the pod textures for the freighter model. The pod is there but is just plain white. I looked in all the texture folders and there is nothing named ...pod... under any of them. I've tried redownloading the aircraft and reinstalling with the same effect. Can someone tell me where to find the textures. Thanks

When descending 737-900, I have a hard time dropping the airspeed. Even though the rate of descend is very modest (800 fpm for example) and the thrust is at the minimum, the aircraft is dropping the speed very slowly, about 5 times slower than fs stock 737. Once the flaps are extended, the speed begins to drop down much faster, but going from, say, 280 to 240 kts without constantly applied airbrake takes several minutes. Is this by design?thanks,Vadim Rapp

Hypothetical question - how do I clear a route completely from the FMC? I know how to load one, create one, save one, etc, but the only way I can see to clear a route is to delete all the waypoints individually.Thanks in advance,Andy Scholes.

Hi.I recently purchased the 737-800/900 upgade. I had a problemwith it when first installed it, keyboard commands did nothing.I uninstalled it using the uninstaller on the PMDG site. I reinstalled and this cured the problem. HOWEVER. It appears to have deleated the 747-400 from my FS9/PMDG folder and I get a CTD when I try to run the 747. I stupidly didntburn a copy of it when I purchased it. Do I now have to pay for anextended download it get my 747 back, even though I think it wasthe 737 uninstaller that caused the problem? No worries if this is the cast as it's only

Is there any way to brighten up the dome light on the center panel?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/148206.jpgThanks

Hey folksAm seriously contemplating purchasing the 747 (funds are low at the moment, hence the delay in purchasing!!!) just wondering if the boxed version is just the passenger version or does it include the cargo version as well??If not, is the cargo version solely available as a download on the PMDG website?....I'm still on dial-up so the prospect of that isn't exactly inspiring....Many thanks for all yewr help

Hi, all!I know this has come up before but I can't find it!I never used to have trouble arming the A/T on 737NG and now I can't!I switch on the FD but when I try to arm the A/T it arms then just clicks off again. What am I doing wrong?Thanks for your helpTim

Hi all. I was just wondering, even though damage is not modeled, should you turn off the center fuel pumps on the 737NG when you have exhausted the fuel in the center tank? This is just for realism's sake. Thanks in advance.Mike FluhartyJamaica, IA, USA

I still get single digit frames with the -400F after the patch. Is there going to be another patch to hopefully address this issue again? I cannot fly this great airplane. All other addons do not give me such low FPS. Even the -400pax runs a lot betterplease help! I have tried dxt3 textures and all other settings to no avail.Thanks

Hi.I need some help here.Say that I

Gents,Pete Dowson FSUIPC 3.6 is arrived today with very interesting new features!Thanks Mr. Pete Dowson.Regards. Dirk Trotteyn (SANT)

Hello All,What is advise on that problem? 747 is following the pink line but in right upper of monitor is staying first point of route when passing is outbound distance? i think after passing on monitor first point is must do in white colour and it must set next point in pink colour/ Request answer.

Hi,I thought it would be fun to start a thread wherein everyone could post links to freeware 747-400 cockpit videos they may have come across on the internet. A great way to see how the real thing works! I'm sure there are many great payware videos of course, but I thought it would be neat to share links to freeware videos everyone can see and share, etc.Here are two videos from A340.net - the first a Lufthansa 747 starting engines, taxiing, and taking off, while the second one is the same aircraft landing in San Francisco. These are both download links for .zip files from A340.netB747-400 takeoff (from cockpit): http://abandonsoft.co.uk/a340/744tofra.zipB747-400 l…

Hi There,First time poster here :) I've just purcased the cd version of the 747, do I need to install any updates to this product or is it fully patched ? and if I need a patch what version do I need. Many ThanksPete

All pumps off but engines running at full power...This isn´t realistic or is it :-eek ?

I'm lokking into this and although its expensive looks like something nice to have and simple to use (plug and play), hopefully it can work with FSX?So has anyone bought it or read up on it?Thanks!

Hello. Just a question about the 747 FMC. On the Estimated fuel at arrival section of the VNAV cruise page, my estimated fuel keeps on getting lower and lower even though I have the AP engaged in VNAV and LNAV modes and keep cruising at the optimum altitudes and speeds. Why is this?

Hi PMDG,Was just wondering the ETA of the updated 747-400 passenger engine sounds update? Was promised somewhere, but can't find the string.Would be nice!AnthonyCape TownSouth Africa

Hello all, could someone please tell me the correct install order with all file names? I have so many PMDG files I am lost:-)

Hi,Just something that's had my head sideways for quite some time... Why oh why, are 8 and 9 not used in SQ Codes???Yeah, this is perhaps off topic, but I'm interested -g-Thanks,

I have a 30fps rate in external view but as soon as I switch the 2D panels on it falls down to less than a third. Approx 6-8 fps.This is not fun and makes the 747 unflyable for me.It has to do with the CRT/Flat panels screens. PFD/ND/U/L.When I switch the upper CRT in the middle position off I notice a slight improvement in the frame rate.Do change the 2D display update rate in the PMDG menu>General has no impact.As soon as I press Shift-1 to hide the 2D-panel I get the full frame rate.Now here comes the most interesting thing:With the PMDG 737-800/900 I don't suffer from this. I have an amazing 25-30 fps with the 2D panel.Considering that 747 is the newer and supposed…

I have read through the forum and the documentation and can not find any information about opening any of the doors. I am assuming this is a key(s) assignment?Cheers,Michael
