Firstly this is a wonderful product. Well done.Q1. I cannot get the pushback function switches to work. They are dead. I use the manual pushback (FS2004?) keyboard function and it keeps pushing back after the brakes have been applied and gives a brake temp EICAS msg and then hits a building. Also from the documentation there should be communication with ground crew...I am not getting this.Q2. How do I access the load manager when the sim is running?Q3. Can I save company routes and how is this done? Or can FS2004 flight planner be integrated with the FMC somehow rather than having to enter the route manually?Q4. Just an observation but when the APU Gens are placed online …

I set up the key commands to open the cargo doors and make the loaders appear. The documentation states that the cargo crates will be animated, but they don't seem to do it. Do you know if something specifically needs to be set for this to happen?Thanks!Chris

i can't find which line in the panel .cfg file i should edit to have a default view of 65%.hoping some help best regards

Hello all.I recently installed the 747-400F. Great product, but I am wondering about the new sound files. From the cockpit everything sounds great, but outside it sounds almost exactly the same as it does in the cockpit, and much quieter than it used to. I have checked all of my sound settings, and this is not the problem. Am I somehow missing some external sound files? Does anyone else have this problem?Thanks for any help.David

Hi guys, this may seem like a bone question, and it may also have been asked before, so my appologoes. Is there a weather radar available for the 737ng? I am able to click on this unit, which is located between the two fmc`s, with a blank screen which causes it to expand in the same maner that the fms and other intraments do. RegardsDavid

Hi there,here are a few pictures just to illustrate that the best commercial add-on for Flight Simulator is assuredly PMDG's Queen Of The Skies (the Cargo version is fantastic). This is state-of-the-art aircraft... Keep goin' on !

SupportPlease check your email. I have purchased the extended download service for the Freighter, but it still says expired ( purchased yesterday ).I have sent support 2 previous emails concerning a problem with the freighter ( undocking panels problem with all PMDG aircraft after installing the freighter ) No problems with other add ons or even the 744PAX before installing the freighter. God I'm so tired of typing this same explanation over and over again.Long story short, removed all PMDG aircraft and reinstalled just the 744PAX ( no extra liveries ) and everything is back to normal and working good as it always was before installing the Freighter.I now want a fresh dow…

I bought your Beech1900C. I noticed a couple things I don't know if you guys are aware of. At takeoff when 3400 lbs of Torque is applied the engines always exceed max ITT. When I pull the engines back at 1500 feet to 3000lbs pounds the engines are redlined at max ITT. I think I tried it one time with even the conditioners at full forward and out of flight idle(not normal takeoff procedure) and the ITT wasn't exceeded. I think this is maybe a programming bug. I also noticed that on takeoff V1 and V2 is always 102/112 at 14000 lbs or lower and tops out at 108/115 at 16600lbs GTOW. When I rotate the airplane at those speeds nothing happens till about 120-125 which is way too…

New upload to AVSIM FS2004-Flight Plans library: Cycle 0603 PMDG SIDSTAR file by Terry Yingling revised 3/27/2006 by Dan Downs for KMDW Chicago-Midway Intl. All SID, STAR and ILS procedures edited as required to comply with current charts. Added I55 Visual Approach Rwy 13C to supplement poor default scenery in area with approach fixes; however, a right 90-deg turn to a short 2.2nm final adds a touch of difficulty. Missing DPs CISRO2 & MDW4 added with all enroute transitions. Minor updates to STARS and ILS approaches done to ensure compliance with current charts. All procedures originally distributed in Cycle 0603, including those not modified, are included in this fil…

Hi Falks,Ive installed the update yesterday, and now I am finding problems with VNAV.On my climb, I press VNAV to let the FMC control my climb and speeds.However, when my climb has finished, VNAV doesn't control the speeds, and the plane is still controlled by the CH Yoke throttle settings. I have to press VNAV again (Which is already activated) and then finally it deaccelerates to the FMC selected speed.Anyone have thought of what this could be?Thanks

Gents,Its been a while scince I've posted on here. Time has been short, but I've been chipping away at several "real world" 747-400 books, and references. I'm getting far more familiar with the systems now, and thanks again to PMDG for bringing this to serious PC simmers.Now for the ask!Would anyone with a 744 Aerosoft MCP please please please... send me the PMDG interface (and any other related firmwares etc) to my email: [email protected]?The reason I'm asking is becuase the download section is still offline, and my MCP arrives tomorrow!I'll be gutted if all I can do stare at in the desk, and pretend!!I'm hoping to do much more with my 747 now. I'm like many other…

Hi all. I am very impressed with the quality of the PMDG aircraft available. No complaints here. If only the default aircraft were of the same quality!Anyway, back to the reason for this post. Can anyone give me some links to some virtual cargo airlines? I don't want links to bad virtual cargo airlines that have basically nothing to offer. Only good one's please.Thanks,Matthew

Over at Cargolux VIrtual, we need this baby, along with repaints for all 14 hulls.Andrew

Hi, does anybody know when the 747F sound package for 747-400 pax model will be available for download, thanks.Rayek.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

Hi, when I was watching the Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 DVD by ITVV products I see that the temperature control for the cabin is manually controlled by the cabin crew for each cabin zone, in our case for the PMDG 747-400 as obviously we dont have cabin crew aboard what is the best cabin temperature setting i.e. master temperature set at +22, thanks.Rayek.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

tried downloading the updated version of cargo,it says my download link has expired. purchased the extened download how do i get the download?

Hi All,I encountered some problems using the PMDG 737-800.If i enter the ZFW into the FMC i get the wrong total fuel weight and the wrong speeds for final approach (220 knts and like that).Did anyone else had this problem?Thanks in Advance,

I was wondering why PMDG didn't include Extended Range Models? Is there a significant difference between the regular and the ER models? If there isn't, isn't there anything I can change in the aircraft.cfg to make my -400 into an Extended Range model?

Hi all.I purchsed the 747-400pax and 747-400F a few days ago and last night I safely landed the 747-400 for the first time, twice, one manuel landing and one autoland, I am really chuffed to bits. It was only a short journey from EGKK Gatwick to EGBB Birmingham, my local airport. Two ink cartridegs later and I've nearly printed out the manuel. ;) What a great aircraft and what a great addon PMDG.ATBIan CEGBB

Hello, when will the full download section reopen? I need to redownload the Aerosoft MCP software and some documentation for my PMDG products. I would appreciate if it was reopened ASAP so that I can fully enjoy my software/hardware. Thanks.John

Hi, I still find that the F's is slow which also cost the PAX version alow as well. SO I would want to uninstall the F version. I want to know if I uninstall the F's, those updated features for the PAX will also get uninstalled or they stays there, so I can enjoy the PAX with new features. thanks

Hi all.I recently purchased the 747-400 and liked it, so yesterday I also purchased the 747-400F and love them both. Now, I'm still getting to grips with this new addon but I am used to the 747-400 because I have PS1.3, although I've not used it since buying my new computer. I'm fueling the 747 from the PMDG menu in FS, but I keep getting the message from FS 'Low fuel in selected tank. Automatic refuel available, press ctrl X' should this be happening if not, how do I stop the message from appearing?ATBIanEGBB

Hi Gents,I use FS Build, FS Navigator and AsV6 to fly the PMDG747. Target goal will be to go online (using FS-INN on VATSIM). Need just a little bit more training ;-)Anyway I've just read about the FS FLIGHT KEEPER and this program seems to be very interesting.So my questions are: 1. any experiences concerning PMDG 744 vs FS Flight Keeper out there? Any problems?2. is FS Flight Keeper good for VATSIM-online flying or is it designed for offline-flying only?3. would it replace FS Navigator and FS Build?greets,Volker

Captains-Based on some of the feedback we were reading in the "Frame Rates in VC" thread, we have some news that we HOPE will make some of you happy.I have just replaced the version that is sitting on the server with Version 1.01.0000.This version includes two updates that may be of interest to some of you:1) It was fairly obvious to us right after release that the ISFD is putting a bit too much strain on some of your machines in the VC mode. 2D seems fine- but in VC, it's just enough to push frame reates to an undesireable level. Lefteris has spent a few days and nights developing a mechanism by which the ISFD will monitor your VC frame rates, and adjust it's own updat…
