PMDG General Forum

I was just wondering if anyone has been thinking about adding a HUD (Heads Up Display) to the PMDG aircraft. Have a look at this:http://www.boeing.com/commercial/news/feature/737tech.htmlSeems some people have re-created this in FS2004 with success in other planes, and was thinking someone who is technically skilled can bring about this addon for PMDG. Maybe?AnthonyCape TownSouth Africa

Hello Everyone:I am having a problem with the AT on the 737-NG. Specifically, I cannot arm / disarm the AT with a button I've mapped on my joystick (CH USB Yoke, button 1 -- the button on the front of left handle.)I've got the button mapped to CTRL-R, which is what the PMDG keyboard settings thing says is used for the AT arm / disarm switch. I can't seem to get it to work... Changing the "repeat rate" in FS' Keyboard Commands window doesn't do anything. The keyboard command (CTRL-R) works fine, it's just the button on the controller doesn't work.I've tried using different buttons on the controller, but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?Thanks - all help is appreciated.

Hi,I am familiar with the Queen's FMC hold function, but recently I was asked by online ATC to enter a hold 40nm from a particular VOR, can someone tell me how to accomplish this?Thanks in Advance.

I got to get myself one of these.http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1131883539/...747_transformerAntFACTSA

After Autoland (updated version), disenganged AP, Autobreaks off, AT off, FD off I couldn't make a left or right turn from the landing runway. What I did wrong?Thanks a lot for help.Regards Marcel

737 gurus, please:I have not changed loads, nor have I fiddled 'much' with the PERF settings other than load. I've varied the GTW load based on distance, but I'm missing something.My problem is that using VNAV and LNAV (as I usually do), both the 800 & 900 have trouble maintaing a cruise speed over .60/200K give or take a lie. I have to resort to manual speed control to get any airspeed, eg. about 280K at 350. And yes, I use the fuel calculator to determine fuel load.Any ideas what I may have input incorrectly?

Hello!Is this a bug or is something wrong here?When approaching I arm the Autobreaks. I suppose they have to be in an "UP"-right position upon touchdown. Allthough when I press the F2 button to start breaking with the reverse thrustmode, they go down.Is this a bug?

after about 20 seconds after starting battery and standby power and external power the EFIS EICAS and IRS are running then they just simply shut off, whats up with this. i have reinstalled my fs before but it didnt do this before.

Hi,Just wondered how the 744F/Service Update was going. Inparticular just a quick brainstorm as to future features; Fix Page

hi all,i have a simple question. why does my nosewheel move when i steer?i am using a saitek-X45 controller, and don't have problems with it in combination with other planes such as PMDG737 series, and LDS767.only with the PMDG747. i found out that it does move on the sticks X-Y asses. but i want it to bind it with the rudder controll. is that possible.thanks in advance.kindly regardsalex

Having ONLY the "POSITION" lighs on..is it normal to see this screenshot..????Seems that also the "wing lighs" are on...Those 2 "white rounds" between engines and cockpit...Please check your PMDG and let me know if u have them....ThanzxPAco

Hi there Capitans,I just wanted to know what those three structures (more accurately, openings) are under the 744? They resemble airflow vents? What is the purpose of these openings? There are two port side, and one starbord side.Curious,ThomasNew York

Hi,Why is the Electrical page inhibited during autoland?-Paul

Could someone please give me a detail procedure on how to override the automatic freq so I can input an ILS freq manually.I have read and reread the manual but I cannot figure out how to do this.I have no problem inputting a VOR freq that is close but when I want to do a ILS approach I cannot capture a localizer until I put the desired ILS freq in the NAV radio using the FMC.ThanksAndy

can anyone tell me what s/c on a flight plan means.its marked the same as the t/ d and t/c thank you

I too looking to update my PMDG737 base program to 1.3 for the 737-800/900 install. I only have 1.1 and PMDG only has 1.2-1.3 file. Please send me 1.2 file or link so I may install these program.Thanks,EricPHX

Hello all,Haven't had much time to fly this beautiful bird, with incredible details. I just came to realize that my nose wheel does not turn left or right, while on the tarmac or taxi.Is this something specific to my plane, or is infact an oversight by the development team, I believe such an awesome piece of work needs to have a working nose gear. If it is the latter, maybe a fix could be implimentated?Cheers,Pierre.

I have never jumpseated. I really really want to. I am going to take a couple of LONG CX flights next week ... how can I get at least some access to the cockpit? I have an FAA Private Pilot's License.- Neeraj

(1) I have an external hard drive and recently installed FS2004 and PMDG 737-6/700 onto this device. When I load the panel the fonts are bold and bigger than they were when they were on my internal drive which I suppose is because that is where my fonts folder is located in (WINDOWS file). See attached picture: For example, you can see on the FMC perf init page that "GW/CRZ CG" and "TRIP/CRUZ ALT" are bumped together because of this. What should I do? (2) When I am in preflight I turn on the taxi lights while the APU is running and after a while they go out (if I had any other external light on it would do the same). When the engines are running I am able to turn them bac…
