PMDG General Forum

Evening all, Having a consistent issue where it is literally possible to complete a flight without P3D crashing. This only happens with the NGX, and if I get through the whole flight without a cash, it will without fail CTD in the flare without fail. Infuriating not being able to complete a flight. This issue has survived multiple reinstalls and resets of the sim and computer. Ideas anyone?

Hello, i was wondering what the sounds are like on the upcoming 747. Are they recorded from the real aircraft like avionics, packs, engine/ engine start sounds, etc? Cheers

I'm sure that a bunch of people have already seen it but its a good watch!

Hi all, Does anyone know the config setup for 737s/747s and 777s operated by KLM Thanks Joe

Howdy all, just a few shots of the 747 Beta. Lined up on Kai Tak Runway 31 at dusk. As always with beta previews, the airplane is a work in progress. These shots are stitched from multiple shots so any perspective distortion is of my making, not PMDG's. General impressions? PMDG have done what they always do, they've raised the bar. Textures, sound and handling are all top-class. Lighting is incredible, these shots perhaps don't do it full justice, you really have to see it at night to appreciate the work that has been put in here. (Shots of that another day, I have testing to do!) The result is a convincing and cosy atmosphere in which to conduct your duties. Once agi…

So everything has been normal, perfectly fine with both PMDG737 and 777 until yesterday. Today after updating FSX:SE (steam automatic update), I started the sim and it asked for 777 activation, I re-entered the code, start sim and no gauges and landing gear. Restart sim, try PMDG 737 and it's perfectly normal. Reinstall PMDG 777 and re-activate again, normal. Restart sim and ask for activation again. Try going through the OC and get this error in "Version" page (I never checked this page in OC so I don't know this has been an error since before or it just occured) From yesterday I only install RemoteCDU but I doubt it has anything to do with this because if it does t…

Herve Sors has once again kindly provided the updated magnetic variation file for FS9, FSX and P3D. The file for 2017 is available from here.

I know the heading doesnt say much, but at least if you are reading this then it attracted you. Last night i did a online flight from FALE (King Shaka Intl) to FAOR(Johannesburg O.R. Tambo) South Africa, well i have a normal setup nothing spectacular at all, i do have the latest version of AS16 and this is my pretty main reason for this topic. As i was on blocks at Gate A10, it was pouring down, and i could see the weather patterns move, nice touch PMDG oh i was in the 737-800. had a wet taxi to runway 06 at that point, and quickly climbed through the soup, with some mild turbelance being experienced, no coffee was served and we were running out of brandy and whiskey to…

Just received my copy of AOPA Pilot in the mail and my interest was piqued by the cover article. I flipped back and sure enough, standing there by Tabitha May were a few of the PMDG crew members. You folks have a gorgeous aircraft on your hands! I've been wanting to get a DC-3 type for a while now and this just adds fuel to the fire. Thankfully there is a school nearby that offers them, though the most difficult part will be convincing my wife! Anywho, just wanted to drop by and offer congratulations on the article and tell you what a beautiful aircraft you've got. Thanks for a glimpse! Sean Wood

Hi I have The PMDG NGX 737 plus expansion, has anybody had any problems downloading the liveries, every time I try to download the OC loads the list of liveries and then crashes, I haven't had this problem before,the only difference is the pc which I have recently purchased bran new from chillblast, my fire wall is switched off and vulnerabilities is also off, the product is all up to date, has any one any ideas or advise where to look?!! Much appreciated Kind Regards Ross Elliot

737-800 NG KIAD - KMSY: Yellow flashing alarm started at @ FL340...beeep...beeeep...Alarm usually comes on after reaching Cruz, I think. FMC loads, flaps, etc okay at take off. MCP functional. Unable to locate any red flashing alerts on Main panel or upper panels. Thanks for input. Doug Pelton

JUST having new issue on my 737-800&900's @ start up parking brake at lower left corner of screen is on and will not release after brakes are disengaged went to settings/ controls / buttons etc...... still will not release run as admin deleted & reinstalled planes and same issue thank you phil hazelton [email protected]

Hi, all I went to reinstall my PMDG 737 and entered my activation number and got message saying max activation i know i have reinstalled a few time but i have had problems with my pc with is now fixed it was due to a faulty HDD so i installed on my old pc, am hoping you can help me with this also i think i will get same issues with my 777-200/300, not sure on what information you may need

Looking good! Thanks

Why does this occur? I get it every now and then on approaches.... (ignore the AI in yellow, I think I was overtaking him lol). Is it elevated scenery or something? I don't think I get it on every approach into the same field, but that pattern of AI is erroneous.

Life imitates art is the saying. I think it is fair to say that a lot of times form is the essence of function (Bernoulli's principle)... and any fidelity of simulation is predicated upon the underlining systems and processes being simulated in the first place. For example, no one is going to come up with a 18-wheeler simulator in the same manner that PMDG/etc has produced airline simulators (yes I'm aware there is grass simulator, goat simulator, but those are largely jokes and not meant to be taken seriously) because simply said driving a truck is not as prestigious as flying a jumbo jet... so reality and simulation cannot be decoupled or divorced... one platform relies…

I didn't see this in your video, but I was wondering if the team was going to include a way for the plane to automatically handle the fuel tank configurations either as a stand alone option or during auto cruise. This would help with long flights where the user can't be at the computer all the time.

I would like to see vas numbers if that is possible from a 747 beta tester. I prefer if you have scenery for what I think are the 2 most vas hungry areas. KLAX and EGLL. Orbx SCA and FSDT KLAX also Orbx England and Aerosoft EGLL that would be good to see. Thank you - David Lee

Will PMDG have a Cyber Monday/Black Friday sale? Regards, Grant Meder

Enjoy

Single engine approach in this thing... now let me go change my pants...

when the queen claims her throne ... hope you like it ¡

AOPA Pilot - December 2016 Sharp looking crew, gorgeous looking airplane - inside and out. Nice article too. Fires the imagination - dreams of being type rated etc. Here's to PMDG's continued success and that Tabitha May will have many years ahead as an ambassador "inspiring a new generation's interest in aviation." -Rob Osborne
