PMDG General Forum

Hi, ya'll I have two questions:1. What are the waypoints for these two flights: 1. KJFK-EGLL 2. KORD-EGLL2. When ever I select a heding, the air craft will not turn it is the 744. All help is welcomed Christian

Hi all,I purchased PMDG 747-400 last weekend and everything is working fine so far. But I noticed one little thing: normally when you have tuned in a VOR you will hear the sound of the station identifier if you have activated the correspondent audio channel in the COM-Panel. It seems, that this will not work for the PMDG 747-400 quite well. What I hear most of the time is a corrupt audio signal. In other words: the morse code sound is cut off after the first beeps. Let

When descending for an approach, occasionally the green arc disappears and does not re-appear even if I change the range on the EFIS.Any advice? Does it have anything to do with being in the wrong automation mode, ie, VS or LCHG etc.ThanksRenzo

G'Day GuysAm I right in thinking the only virtual cabin is on the second (upper deck) of the Boeing 747 series 400?If there is a virtual cabin down stairs how do you get down there? I use active camara or somethin.Thanks for any help givenMerry Christmas and all that stuffKimberly.

Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for calculating the weight or number of pallets to alot for passenger baggage on the 744. When planning a long trip with a full passenger load, I am trying to figure out how many pallets are realistically required for baggage, since I don't want to load any more pallets than necessary.

Hey EveryoneI am struggling to choose what thrust setting to use on specific Take-Offs (on the 744). I want to De-Rate the thrust as much as I can, but when can I do this? How do I know if I don't use max thrust I won't get off the runway? Are there any tables out there referring to what distance is used during specific situations using different settings eg TO, T01 and TO2? thanksP.S. The only things I know are that in wet weather or if you have a tailwind you shouldn't de-rate.

Hi there I have just recently purchased PMDG 747-400 and I am not sure how to install new flight plans, can somebody kindly tell me please where and how exactly I can install flight plans, thanks.

I put my PMDG purchase on my bro's rig cuz mine couldn't handle it but now I just got a new rig. So how do I uninstall it from his rig before I put it on mine? Best Regards, Donald Traill

Question about intercepting a leg and radial.My flight plan d

Any ideas why when flying at night I can switch on the lighting for the cockpit/overhead and it is lit up yet the throttle and radio in 2d panel are still dark?they are lit up nicely in VC !thanksGraham

Hi there, does anybody know if it is possible to open and close the cargo and passenger door such as the PSS a340 and 777 professional does and also what switch do I engage or dis-engage when tank to engine sign illuminates on the FD from the overhead panel and how do you display the wind aloft data onto FMC via Active Sky version 6, thank you in advance.

I can't get VB3 (demo) to work with PMDG 737/800/900. Yes it does a little bit, but it doesn't turn on/off switches, etc. like it should. Does anyone have any checklists they have designed and used with VB3? That's what I would want it to do before I spend the money for it. I Like the product but it doesn't seem to support PMDG. I want to be able to create any and all the PMDG checklists.Of course, eDimensional says it supports PMDG, but I don't see it. The demo is supposed to be fully functional for 15 days, so I assume it does everything the full package does.Thanks for your help.Arnie

Hi all,I do not seem to have any runways or sid/star for Barcelona. Is this a know problem? I have searched the forum and do not seem to be able to find anything.The fires are lit and the runways waiting.Daniel

Any painters up for a good challenge. I have searched AVSIM, and there is no repaint of the Disney Dreams. This was painted in honor of the Grand opening of Tokyo Disney Seas; the second theme park at the Tokyo Disneyland Resort.http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0352569/L/ Thank you,Jonathan

Ok, here's the situation. I'm on approach with the autopilot flying the ILS and everything is normal. I then decide to do a missed approach and hit the TO/GA button, things aren't so normal after that. The plane pitches up and continues to increase in pitch until I hear the stick shaker and eventually it would enter a stall if I had let it. It can't be right when the plane pitches to more than 20 degrees nose up on the go around. Any thoughts on this situation would be appreciated.ThanksZach

On the PMDG website it has many screen shots from behind cocpit seats and shots of the passenger seating. Is there a way to see this. I tried VC but I cant leave the flight deck.Thanks,Cam

Brand new 744 pilot here (still in ground school :) ), having reasonably seasoned myself on the 767 and 777 I feel ready.Posed this in the general forum but perhaps better luck here - how do I ensure a rotation rate of 2.5 to 3deg/sec? Is there any tip or trick for getting this just right?I ask because studying the manual it seems very important for proper takeoff. I usually just gut feel it but would like to know how the pros do it.regards,Markhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpgXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1024mb/X700pro256

Will there be a new manual with the F? If so any chance of it being available before the aircraft is released for sale? I enjoy reading your manuals. Dave

Hi guys--I won't spend a paragraph praising your products. I think it is clear you're stuff is outstanding.I just had a small suggestion, and perhaps that has been already considered by you... If I recall correctly, when the QOTS was released initially, the ordering server was having trouble handling the load, and there was a number of issues with the system beyond your control. Would you think that taking pre-orders for the F (considering the immense amount of interest) would be something that would lift the load in the first days of the release? Say, take orders, charge the customers, and when the release goes hot, e-mail the link for the download with the validation co…

Hi there, I hope anyone can help, I have just purchased FS BUILD 2.2 and am trying to load a route using this programme, can somebody tell me please how to do this by providing me a step by step procedure therefore it comes up on my FMC of PMDG 747 and links with fs 2004 atc so both link together thanks.

Hi all,This is totaly off topic I know, but your thoughts would be appreciated. I have watched this video several times and can not work out if this is a real plane or a model.If it is real I can not see the pilots being compus mentus when they get out, either by the passangers, FAA, CAA or the aircrafts owners. I have been assured that it is real, but just do not understand how the aircraft is still in one piece.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...05066&q=landingYour thoughts??Daniel

Hi,My FMA isTHR HDG HOLD FLCH SPDClimbing at around ~240 knots I commanded an extra 10knots of speed. The aircraft pitched nose down very rapidly (full forward stick.) Can anyone reproduce this?-Paul

Captains-Remember when I told you that if we could find a method of reproducing a CTD, it would take us mere hours to solve it? Well.... I was right. :-)I've spent the past 15+ hours working with a half dozen individuals who were kind enough to run some tests, provide very detailed feedback and allow me access to their machines in order to pursue some details that have been nagging at us for the past couple of weeks.I am pleased to say that we have for-certain slayed one very specific type of CTD...I think it's normally considered bad form to admit fault (at least that's what you'd think by looking at some of our competitors, LOL!) but as you know we tend to be pretty…

I've got four days experience with the 737NG and I love it. Problem: I don't know if I'm missing something or I've discovered a simulation limit. The manual says altitude constraints A or B can be entered but don't work on the Legs screen. It also appears that constraints provided by the SID don't work. I am flying SWA2537 route LAS-LAX, which uses BROACH2 DP... I'm departing 01R today due to winds. The FMS knows the first fix off the end of the runway PAWEK is a OVERFLY, but ignores the altitude restriction at the 2d fix BESSY, which is AT or BELOW 7000. It's about a 10nm leg to BESSY so the 7000 restriction is real, and I verified the SIDSTAR file is correct. When I set…
