Captains,Newest Boeing 400F Freighter that will be added to our download offerings ;-)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/144715.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/144716.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/144717.jpg

Just wondering if we can look forward to this being modelled in the upcoming update and any chance the engravity CDU will feature this?CheersJason.

Using the 747-400 load manager of PMDG, I have saved to the PMDG 744 cfg file a ZFW of 500K lbs and a fuel setting of 50K lbs. But if I load the Queen at the default KSEA using the Select Aircraft menu of FS2004, although the ZFW is loaded correctly as 500K lbs, the fuel is loaded at 300K lbs--this latter figure is the most recent fuel I loaded into a 744 flight using the PMDG fuel loader from the PMDG dropdown menu within FS9, i.e., PMDG/General/Options/Fuel.I am puzzled by this. I thought that once you save data in the cfg file of the 744 using the PMDG Load Manager, this is what will get loaded each time you call up the Queen.What have I misunderstood?Jonathan

IF you do, please email them all to me. PM me if you do and then I will give you my email.Big TIABilal

Hi there AllAny news on release date? Wasn

Hi all,If I'm correct, the PMDG is not modeled with a nosewheel steering tiller. When I try to make a 180 degree turn with the PMDG 747-400, it doesn't make the turn tight enough and the nosewheel goes off the pavement. I've seen 747s make 180 degree turns on the runway without going off the pavement. I'm thinking that it's because the PMDG is not modeled to use the tiller but only steers using the rudder pedals. In the real 747, the tiller can turn the nosewheel 70 degrees in either direction and overides the rudder pedal steering. With the rudder pedals, it only turns the nosewheel 7 degrees in either direction and does not activate the body gear steering. Since the PMD…

Dear PMDG teamI prefer to use the PAX version. Now my question to the PMDG team: What kind of advantages do I have concrete for the PAX-version, if I purchase the 400F addionally?Thanks for your answer.Best regardsMarcel

I put the winds forecast into the FMC as depicted: LEGS/RTE DATA/-DDD/SSS-/R5 upload and got the message "INVALID ENTRY"... What is wrong?? Any help, please?

ok here she is, 100% hand drawn, my fingers are knackered !!if people spot any errors please let me know so i can amend her before she flies off to AVSIM !!enjoyregardsBondhttp://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9602/do...tsaboard1af.jpghttp://img239.imageshack.us/img239/6936/baright5ay.jpghttp://img239.imageshack.us/img239/4463/offwego8tb.jpghttp://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9137/tailend2er.jpg

Trying to get more familiar with the Main Panel I noticed in the PMDG,737NG,Stlyes box is a selection for drawing the flap setting on the main panel. I tried it to see where it appears. Wrong.... right smack in the middle of all three main CRT's. Now it will not delete. Unchecked it .. nothing. Any help please George

I am showing FMC ECON SPD .835 and I assume I am in CRZ mode or at least I think I am. But the EICAS reads (shows) CLB Mode. Should the Eicas be showing CRZ or am i missing something? My FL was 350 but OPT FL351 was showing in FMC. I went up to FL351 thinking maybe that was why the EICAS says CLB. But that didn't work. Is the thrust mode determined by the system or can it be overridden by myself? Regards,Tom

I find that using the FMC inside add-ons such as th PMDG 744 and 73NG series, if I try to set up departures with the SIDs that are ostensibly matched to the departure runways, I am often offered departure tracks that are nonsensical and sometimes in totally the opposite direction to the departure runway heading or even BEHIND the departure runway takeoff roll start point. I just don't understand this: I thought that once you select a runway, the SIDs you are offered in the FMC match your proposed departure track.Can anybody explain why I experience this stuff? Am I doing something wrong? STARs are somewhat less confusing because they do seem to actually match your arriv…

Goodmorning,Using the PMDG Load Manager to completely empty the aircraft, I noticed that appart from setting station loads to zero, it has reset the respective station load positions to zero as well.The problem is that when trying to fill the aircraft up again, station load positions are not restored to the correct values, ending up to a non-flyable aircraft.I would appreciate if someone could spare a couple of moments to browse through their aircraft.cfg file for PMDG B737NG 600 & 700 and posted the correct values. It would help me to avoid installing the product all over again.Thanks in advanceN. Kantas

I know there has been discussion on this before but I am perplexed on a couple of things.The 737 reaches T/D and starts to descend normally. However after approx 2 mins I get the message Drag Required. I apply the Speed Brake. Why does N1 stay at 40%. Why does the aircraft not idle in order for it to slow down? When I reach 10,500 the aircraft levels off to reduce speed for the restriction. And from there on the I struggle to meet further speed restrictions and inevitibly VNav will disconnect and I have to go around and perform a manual landing.Can anyone explain why this is? Surely speed brakes should not be applied so early. Any tips most welcome.Thanks.

Right now I am flying from EGLL to KSFO at 30000 feet yet when I look at the FS9 altitude it tells me I am at 29589 (When I press Shift+Z). My speed is also different 324 on the 744 and 303 on FS9. I am inclined to trust the 744. Just wondering. Any insights as to this discrepancy?

I was appraoching YYZ in heavy rain and overcast using the 700 with VC. I also had FS2Crew and RC running plus I'm using ASV with clouds set at 30 miles and 50% 3D. It was literaly a slideshow, no more than 3fps. I don't get it, I use FSAutostart and ussualy get fps in the 20's. Then I get the old low vertual memory. I've got 1.5 gig memory and have maxes out vertual memory.Dave FisherCYYZP4 Prescott 3.2e 478p 800mhz 1mg CPUP4P800SE Asus Motherboard1.5 gig PC3200 DDR RAM 400MHZGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HD x2WDC WD800 80 Gig HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpghttp://fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpg

If this question has been posted already I apologize. Just curious if you are planning to release the 744F paintkit early. ------------------------------------------------------------------Joe FritschChief Operations OfficerNoble Air VAhttp://www.nobleair.com"It's not the fall that kills ya.

My 747 stays in takoff all the way to cruise. I am unable to switch it in the FMS. I am not sure why this is happening. I have tried the climb in V/S and speed, VNAV and it never changes. When I reach cruise it switched the thrust limit to cruise. Does anyone have any suggestions.Thanks

How do I perform an autoland on the PMDG 738/9 aircraft. I've looked through the manuals and have not founbd anything. I've also done a search on the forums here and I've tried it, but it didn't work for me. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there a quick question, when I land at VHHH and I want to do an auto landing on the PMDG 747-400 when there is terrible visibility as Hong Kong is well known for it after I reach around 500 feet the auto pilot suddenly banks the aircraft to the left making it move away from the runway, this only happens at VHHH and not anywhere else I have downloaded the freeware add on named VHHH2005, does anybody have an idea how I can rectify this annoying problem, all assistance will be much appreciated, thank you in advance.Rayek.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_pf.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e62/ritzer82/untitled.jpg

Hi folks!Are there any flightplan generators to generate .rt2 flightplans, like FSBUILD etc?Or are there any way to convert my .rte files into .rt2?The rte files don't load in the PMDG B744 Best regards Geir Groenlien

Hi all,Quick question,When setting FULL passengers I am unable to load any fuel?? Is this correct?? I would have thought you could at least get some fuel in or there is no point having that many seats.Flying for BA Virtual, I am assigned flights with load sheets, this tells me how many passengers I am carrying, is there a way to input a pax count instead of clicking each seat. 300 clicks can take some time!!!Thanks allDaniel

Great work Mac and PMDG. As you can see from my SIG below im very interested in the F, any chance of getting A and B to go with the Global Supply C that you have already done. Cheers
