The link is on the 737-800/900 support page:An update is available to upgrade from v1.0 => v1.1 - Downloadresults with "The page can not be found".I did some search here and found an old message that service Packs are not available from the website. Is this the case here? (If it is, it would be a good idea to remove such announcements. I spent some time fixing my modem thinking my connection is broken.)regards-Neven

Goodafternoon fellow simmers,First place, I want to thank Gustav (Mahler?? :)) for all his efforts to get me the "Timothy Metzinger tutorial" Unfortunately my mailbox can not cope with 20MB.After trying several approaches on a certain runway,(e.g. EBBR, LFPG, LFMN etc) it is not possible for (me) the plane (B733) to capture localiser and after to capture g/s, even when ILS settings are o.k! I know how to fly an approache. (former PS-pilot) Is there, atleast one tutorial that dicribes, or a pilot wo can tell me how to fly a boeing 737 after TOD???Well, anyway thanks in advance, nice easter-days for everyone and happy landings (?)Regards Freek-EHAM

Hello,I

Hi!After having re-installed my whole system, today I re-installed FS2004. I also installed the 744 and 744F, and here the problems start...When I start FS2004 it stops loading right after displaying the loading picture. CPU Usage from the 'fs9.exe' process remains steadily at 100%. So I tried a few things and found that as soon as I take PMDGOptions.dll out of the Modules folder FS2004 starts without any problems. As soon as I put it in again, same error...I checked the forum and found no one had a similar error before. Is there any possibility that anyone might help me here???Before re-installing my system everything was working fine. Hardware changes were not made.I re…

hi, finally we started a new va, we already have 5 members supporting this project, professional pilot Jorge Albanese MD80 FO for Austral Lineas Aereas share his knowledge on real world airline ops, complete flight data its provided on all flights, Virgin flight data filed with the authorities (route, Flt Level, speed, STD, schd time), weight, fuel, NOTAMS and weather data are available. Enroute live support is available from 18.30Z to 07.00Z. Please visit our pre website http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/VIROPS/ thanks for your interest in this project. Rgds.

HiI am having real trouble, and I am quite sure it is because I am a dumb #### rather than there being a problems with the PDMG 747!I plan my flight using the flight planner, and then set up the FMC with all the data that is required - the only thing I cannot set is the gate number.I taxi, and then using TOGA take off. I then switch to LNAV and VNAM and sit back and wait. But although LNAV seems to work OK the plane does not fly to the altitudes or speeds set in the FMC. Before take off the speed strip displays NO VSPD in yellow, but all of the speeds have been set in the FMC. During flight the altituse swings wildly, but with an upward trend. If I turn off flight directo…

DO you people use DX3 or 32 bit texture. See any difference at all, and what about the perfomance?I had the DX3 installed, however, I want to try the 32 bit to same aircraft, do I just run the installer again, and choose the 32 bit, it will replace over the DX3 format? or I need to uninstll the DX3 texture first, then apply the 32 bit? Thanks.

Hi All,Ho do I change the CLB mess. in ND into CRZ when I have reach my cruise altitude???Thanks on advanceGeert Burgstra

HI I am having a problem when I try virtual cockpit I have only Blank screens. Any help would be great Thanks.

Hi, I just purchased the PMDG 744F, and I have assigned all the different cargo doors keyboard commands eg. ctrl+NUM1, ctrl+NUM2, ctrl+NUM3, and so on, but for some reason, only ctrl+NUM3 and ctrl+NUM4 works.. does anyone know what is wrong? It means that I can only attach some stairs to the 744 and the tail jack stand.Is this because the rest of the commands are already in use or what?

Whenever I try to access the PMDG download page I get a "HTTP 404 PAGE NOT FOUND" message. Does anyone know if that is a problem caused by the local ISP or settings on my computer??Best regardsPalle Jensen

Hi everyoneWith the PMDG 747-400F now rolled out and the MD-11 nearing completion, obviously the first question to pop into everyone's minds is, "what will be the next aircraft to come from the PMDG hangar?".So, I'd like to offer this suggestion. Since PMDG has recreated Boeing aircraft so accurately, I'd like to have a Boeing 717-200 to fly around. To my knowledge, no other payware aircraft designer is developing this aircraft and I'm sure it would be quite popular among us virtual Captains.What do you all think of this suggestion? I welcome everyone's comments - for and against.Kind regards,Matthew

Real against (its me on the left side when you search the Copilot, looke under the seat :D)PMDG 737-800Why is the 737 so unrealistic in the VC? Look at the texture

Hi guys, does the PMDG model a nose wheel lock, to prevent lateral movement at high speeds, eg landing and departing. CheersDavid

Hi,When I try to enter a COROUTE in the FMC, any route, I get "PROGRAM ERROR". Here is what I do, and what happens:*) This applies to both the PMDG 737 and 747.*) I have the latest AIRACs from http://navdata.at/ and SID/STARs from http://www.planepath.com/ for PMDG products and FSNavigator installed.*) I'm using FSNavigator 4.7 with the PMDG export module installed.1) Using FSNavigator, I create a route starting with a runway and ending with a runway. I use the auto-calculate function. I change nothing manually.2) I export it, choosing the PMDG export format. The .rte file is saved in C:ProgramfilerMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9PMDGFLIGHTPLANS as it should. I verify th…

Hello,Since i have the 744F i sometimes have a strange problem with my flaps. Sometimes the flaps are stuck to 1 and i can't get them to 15 or 20 for TO. When i managed to have them @ 20 and that i put full thrust flaps come back to 1 not 0 but 1, i don't know why. Generaly i load the cesna put everything off and then load the F. When i put the battery on on the F flaps are @ 1 (but they were @ 0 on the cesna). It is quite strange and i don't know why it is happening.does someone already had this experience.Thank you for your help and sorry for my poor englishRegardNicolas

Hi guys. Just had my first

After update to V1R10, I found the Engine Start Sound disappear.Before update, normally I can hear the Engine Start Sound when N1 up to 20%.In "sound.cfg" there is string [starterA], but the "filemane" equals to "747", not the "PMDG747_ENGSTART", and actually there is no file "PMDG747_ENGSTART", it was there before.Here is the original one: /STARTERA/ filename=PMDG747_ENGSTART viewpoint=1 link=starterA.1 /STARTERA.1/filename=xPMDG747_ENGSTARTviewpoint=2New one like this:/starterA/filename=747flags=0viewpoint=1And what is "xPMDG747_ENGSTART" work?

Hi all,suppose I took a short flight (e.g. 70 NM) with full pax and 50% fuel.and the Maximum Gross Landing Weight of 747-400 is 630.000 lb.what If I land it with 700.000 lb of gross weight, will it be damaged?what about the real world????? (what kind of damages)Fuel jettison is required in this situation, isn't it?ok, how to know the amount of fuel that will be burned during the flight to avoid MGLW ????the last thing is related to this..........my GPU is not powerful enough to show me fuel jettison on wings..........is it modeled?neither smoke that comes from engine while there is a fire.............is it modeled too?Abraham .R

Hello,I am flying just a couple of weeks with the 737 and begin to understand the FMS Ok but a lot of keyboard controls wich works with other planes are not working f.i.

Hello all,I always wanted to ask this question. I believe that in real world, B738W (w/Winglets) has longer range than B738. (Correct me if I am wrong). Now, I guess that PMDG offers the same advantages or is it for "eyecandy" purposes?I have never done test to see the result, but if nobody knows the question, I guess that I will do the test and let you guys know. :-)Cheers,AndrejPS I really love your 737NG series!

Hi, I started up my B737-700 that I've been happily flying for the last couple of months and today found I couldn't retune any frequencies on the radio stack. I flew anyway and found that after a while the radio stack was ok. Then I was just turning onto the localizer and I lost the ILS signal - the radio stack had stopped working again.Has anyone come across this problem?ThanksGeoff

Hi, can somebody please tell me how to convert nautical miles into mph, im not sure but I think it is 1.8, and how many feet are there in a metre, all assistance will be much appreciated, thanks.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...argo_hauler.gif http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e62/ritz...tishAirways.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e62/ritzer82/untitled.jpg

I thought I would put this out since I had a couple folks send me briefing packages and give me some ideas. I have written a post over at the TOPCAT forum here: http://topcat.ofplan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=57#57In this post I describe my process that I go through in pre-trip planning every flight in the PMDG cockpit, no matter the type (747 or 737). I have a link to a pdf file which is my last flight's Briefing Package. I print these out every single flight, as paper is more convienient and I can write on it. http://wilsonhines.com/files/WRRRTOKLAX.PDF Your comments are welcome. I like to see what other people do, as well.In the real world briefing package that I h…

Hey gents,don' tpost often as I have had very few problems with my Queen. But on this leg I had 2 CTD's. One during cockpit prep and one during TOD.I used a FedEx 744F to fly from KSEA to LOWW (Seattle to Vienna). Both are Flytampa sceneries. After loading was almost complete and all data was inserted, it was a matter of waiting for all the doors to close and pushback. To make it easy I displayed the doors synoptic on my ND. When I pressed EICAS submenu.....poof! Goodby FS.It had gotten an arror in terrain.dll.So I restarted FS2004 and redid everything again. I took off at 0146z. After parallelling the northern US border, crossing the pond and crossing most of Europe, it …
