Please explain :excl: :excl: :excl: :excl: Please please please pretty please 767.

So I just updated the Ops Center and yes, the 747 is showing there now. Good news indeed. I hit the "Buy" button and sure enough it took me to the purchase page. In part, it said: Price: $228,000,000.00 No shipping required Fine. Now, I understand that there might be a $10.00 discount for seniors? If that's true, how would I get that, because I might not be able to afford this without the $10 off the 228,000,000.00... (oh, is that USD, I presume?) Hey, just thought I'd ask... :Big Grin: Glenn (and puuleeeeese, don't anyone take me seriously in this post - just felt like having a bit of fun while waiting for the '47 :wink: )

Hey Kyle, Is your new sig a hint of something coming?! (At long last)

Hello, Manuals are not available for sale! At one time they were available and I did not have the cash and now I do and they're not accessible. Are they being updated in some fashion or are there problems between PMDG/Boeing on selling them? Thanks Richard Rice

hello everyone, Do you think 747 has a trimming logic closer to the 777 or the 737 ? or Neither ?

Just wondering...

GOOD MORNING, I UPDATED THE PMDG OPERATIONS CENTER. NPOW WHEN I LAUNCH P3D AND THEN GOT TO EITHER THE 737 OR 777 IS SAYS MY PRODUCTS ARE NOT ACTIVATED AND IS ASKING FOR THE ACTIVATION CODE. WHEN I UTILIZE MY ACTIVATION CODES UNDER MY PREVIOUIS ORDERS AND ENTER THEM INTO P3D IT SAYS THEY ARE NOT VALID. HOW DO I RESOLVE. REGARDS, GARY ARNOLD

Been searching around and I have not found the answer for it. It happens to my PMDG 737 and 777. Even in cold and dark panel state I can hear this loud noise which I don't know what it is, the plane is completely off and dark. If I go to the sound menu in FSX and disable the Engine sound, it will go away. So what is this and is this realistic or I mess up my installation? I made a video of it here : Thank you Hoang Le

Hi, I have problem with my dome lighting in PMDG 737 NG cockpit in FSX. If I click on dome light button in a cockpit nothing happens. The dome lights works me only if the engines are on. Does anybody of you have some idea what can it cause or where is the problem? Thank you for all your replies and all your advises.

Hi, I'm trying to minimize the number of services and startup programs I have running when I'm using FSX. When I eliminate most non-Microsoft apps & services my PMDG planes will not work. What do I need to have running to get my PMDG products to recognize my ownership? Thanks.

Hello, I'm not sure which add-on is to blame here, but if I use both a PMDG aircraft (737 or 777) and FSUIPC, I get small pauses once a second. Use any other aircraft and the frame rate is smooth. Disable FSUIPC and the frame rate is smooth. Notes: Re-generating Prepar3D.cfg has no effect; still happens with default settings Re-generating FSUIPC.ini has no effect; still happens with default settings Clearing shaders has no effect Autosave is disabled; and in any case, the stutter is regular at once a second Wondering what else I can try to help address this problem.

Hi Kyle, Are you working on 777-200ER or SP2 for FSX/P3D? OR 777 for Xplane 11? The above would spin everyone out lol Blessings Duncan

Just a question regarding the 747 V3 - does it have a option for the British Airways altitude callouts from 2500 (Radio Altimeter) down to landing ? I recall seeing a Beta video with the BA version of the callouts. Many thanks Richard

[Admin please delete if not appropriate] Just stumbled across these training videos for the 744. They were created using PSX, but hey, a 747's a 747! Thought I'd share for those anticipating the 744v3. http://aerowinx.com/board/index.php?PHPSESSID=0kbq342dku3nmc65hubtr0c9j1&topic=3895.0

I know asking when a plane will be released will be grounds for execution, but what is the status of the PMDG ground based simulator in VA? Fair question? I'd like to plan my next 777 sim time and I have several choices. I'll be in the VA area in April will my new Charger Hellcat doing 1/2 mile runs on the runway at Ingall Field Airport in Hot Springs VA. I'd like to couple it with some 777 sim time. Let me know if that will be feasible. Paul Gugliotta .

So I have been reading up on the Queen the last few weeks in anticipation for release. The manual that I have makes no mention of using external air in the normal operating procedures. The only mention of external power, is that it may be already in use when entering the aircraft. What strikes me as odd, is that the manual recommends turning the APU on right away during the initial cockpit preparation. I have always been taught to use external air/power when available to save fuel and then start the APU about 5-10 minutes before push/start. Now, I'm not going to mention the name of this carrier for privacy reasons, but I know that RSR would probably know the reasonin…

I'd really like to see an official post by Pmdg on the next (if any) product for XP and maybe a rough time forecast, maybe I've missed something elsewhere, in this case my apologize. Like many others I'm on stand by regarding the purchase of new planes waiting for XP11 official release but in second quarter of 2017 I plan to add some liners to my GA fleet. With new Xenviro and WorldTraffic3 I plan to extend over 15K my usual flights. Now the point is if I buy a 737 (IXeg for example) it will be really unlikely I will get another variant from PMDG 3/6 months later. Same for a 747 although current one for XP is no way at PMDG standard so I will prolly buy it again.

The 767 and 757 are outdated and need a refreshing reboot in FSX and I think PMDG with their understanding of Boeings would be the right company to produce this. LevelD and PSS did a great job with the old technology, lets revive these old birds and fly them in to the future. If you would like to try a Brazilian aircraft the EMB-175 would be nice. Thanks Randy

I'm very happy to be back in P3D after months of testing in FSX...., I've got all my Orbx back and latest AS16 weather and of course DX11 lighting. Happy happy happy. I had a few things to chase down and hadn't done much in the trash haulers yet so let's fire up N452PA and take a trip from Dallas to Anchorage. I grabbed this screenie just because I loved the way the late afternoon light played on the aircraft, and I'm amazed at how a plane-Jane refrigerator can have so much detail. Taken here just North of Helena WY: A few hours later over Prince George BC, I tried to catch the sunset lighting: The view from the office in the WITTI arrival, descending int…

Hello folks, I cant wait to do this with the 747v3, For now enjoy the t7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvNjGr0VvOw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4eRlwOgbZM

Hi, i reinstall PMDG 737-800, 777-200 and 777-300 but the Operation Center doesn't work. I reactivate license key and also did not work. When i open the Operation Center and selected 777, for example, just show me the page to by product. I do not know what else to do. P3D v2.5 / Windows 10

Hello, I seem to be having a problem with my 737NGX. Been using for months and no problem, but today when I input my fuel into the second FMC the FO side displays crash and the message of "Single FMC Display" appears!! Tried restarting the game but no luck. Anyone come across this? FSX-SE is what I use. I start with Short turn around as default set in my FMC. Thx in advance.

I got an e-mail today from an online flight sim store stating that X-Plane 11 beta is available for purchase and I was wondering what those of you who have PMDG products on X-Plane think of it. Does it offer anything more than FSX? Are the frame rates any better/worse? Are the physics any better/worse? I ask, as I am considering changing to X-Plane as it looks good in the videos I've seen and is supported by the people who made it, unlike FSX, which is not. My other concern is that I've heard that there's a lack of airports and realistic scenery for X-Plane compared to FSX, which atleast models the entire world fairly accurately.

Hello guys, Today I installed the PMDG 777. Everything went fine until I came to the activation screene in P3D. After I had put in the correct code i get this error "flxActCommonRepairLocalTrustedStorage- (50044,71013,1)" I searched for a few hours around on forums and found our that the solution for most people was to enable "FLEXnet Licensing Service" in service.msc in Windows. The problem I have is that Windows cant find the "tracks" or "path" for this program when I'm trying to start it. I have tried to find installer for FLEXnet, but can't find anything. I had the PMDG777 before, but had some problems so I reinstalled it. After reinstalling this problem occ…

Hi Guys NZQN / Queenstown, New Zealand, now has the RNP-AR (Authorization Required) approaches it looks like - they have used dummy waypoints to get around the fact the FMC cant yet do radius-to-fix or RF legs. This is an example of the apprroaches: http://www.aip.net.nz/pdf/NZQN_45.1_45.2.pdf
