PMDG General Forum

When landing the 737 models I cannot get the PDF aligned in VOR or APP modes All NAV radios are set properly, runway heading is entered, and both VOR and APP displays are correct, showing glideslope etc. but they always point to 0. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/147527.jpg(landing EGLL 25R)There is probably a simple answer to this, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Been through every check list and manual I could find, but I am honestly stumped. I have no problems whatsover with the 747 or PSS 777. Martin

Captains-I'm posting this notam here so that we do not have a flood of similar reports to technical support.We have received a number of reports from customers who have installed the recently released ImagineSim Newark Liberty International Airport Scenery that **appear to indicate** that in some instances this scenery package can corrupt some required datafiles within MSFS and create havoc with the navigation database and IRS functionality of the 747-400/400F.This report has not been verified or validated by PMDG- but we have received enough similar reports that we felt it important to pass along some details here.None of us at PMDG own this product, so currently we are …

first off let me apologize for posting in here if it was the wrong place to post , but i have reached my wits end trying to solve the issue on my own. I figure maybe you guys have went thru this issue,and lot of you seem to know what your doing.im pretty knowledgable to some degree and can follow directions easily. so i am asking for any tips or suggestions on potentially solving this issue.

Hello, I just purchased the 737 line. Do I neeed to download the updates or are they already in the program I just bought?ThanksBrett

Hi All,As a long time PMDG 737 NG user, I have always been somehat curious by the aircraft's requirement for excessive pitch up in turns. The RW jets I have experience in (DC-8, DC-9) have typically required a 1-2 degree pitch up in turns up to 25 degrees...even in 45 degree banks, a typical pitch adjustment would be 3 or so degrees. The PMDG model seems to require a great deal more, which of course necessitates rather large power adjustments when in an approach or landing configuration.Is there a way to address this in the air file without affecting any other parameters? Thanks.Cary Green

HelloAfter installing the Queen of sky, and not flying my 737NG 6/7/8/9oo for some time, i have encountered a strange problem.

HelloAfter aligning the 3 IRS I made a mistake and switched IRS No 1 to OFF instead of NAV. Datas were lost and no longer available. No 2 and 3 are totally ok. Do I have to align No. 1 again or...What will be the consequences if I perform the fligt? Will there be any?ThanksTom

Hey AllI have been wondering how to get the V1 and VR speeds when using Derates (TO1/TO2) for the new tables that came with the 744F. They only have the tables for Maximum Rated Thrust. Are we supposed to use the ref speeds in the FMC when derating?

I just installed Windows XP Pro x64 last week and I've been re-installing all my payware and have had no problems until I reached the PMDG 744 and 744F. I get the following error : " The image file C:................desktopPMDG747_400F.zip is valid, but it is for another machine type other than the current machine. " What should I do ?Nick Anderson

Hello everyone,I promise this is the last question about possible new FPS. However, after I discovered from GeekSquad that the 7800 GS AGP would not work in my computer. My parents agreed to buy me a new computer. My question then is this: Having bought a new Velocity Micro computer with AMD64 dual core processor, 2GB of PC3200 RAM, nVidia 7900 GT PCIe videocard and some cool sound card. What kind of frames would anyone from the FS community in these forums think I should be getting with this ? (I ask because I get it tomorrow and I am impatient :) )Sincerely,Tony Nelson

What do you guys think is the most interesting airport in the U.S.A. to fly the 744 out/in of?Some parameters to consider:visual beautychallenging approaches/departuresunique characteristcs (i.e., high altitude, extremely hot/cold, dry/wet.Or anything else to consider. The airfield doesn't have to be for 744 operations only. But, would be curious to know, since I will start to fly more in U.S. airspace (sim-wise, anyway)Regards,Tomas

None of the dial type switches work in my upper panel. Any suggestions?(yes I have installed the update)

Having just seen the first TRC Lesson for the 747, is there any possibility or intention of PMDG creating TRC's for the 737NG?

When in the FMA HOLD is annuciated the pilot can manually control thrust. I tried it but it did not work. Is it not modelled or is it joystick related?ThanksTon

Dear All:Just saw the release of the FS approaches Vol II (USA). Does anyone know if it will work with the PMDG 737 NG? I thought you could not load the PMDG planes in mid-flight & expect them to work "on the fly". Anyone?Chris Catalano
