Hello folks, this was going into the 747v3 beta announcement thread at first, but then I decided it would be better as a separate topic, as it became a rather lengthy piece. It's specifically aimed at Kyle and other PMDGers, but feel free to chip in. Sometimes I wonder, how much more of an improvement we can expect in terms of fidelity and memory usage on the FSX platform, especially regarding future products. The 32bit limit is not going away, unless you change to X-Plane or P3D (the latter being cost-prohibitive for modest earners like myself - and according to PMDG forum staff - not even legally sound). It has been said that the memory footprint of thi…

I have surround view on Gtx960. Do I need separate video card to run gauges on fourth monitor? Doug

Recently, the 777 has shown up in my Operations Center product list, and I don't own the aircraft. Is this normal? Thanks! Kaida Freeman P.S. Just noticed the Jetstram 4100 as well. Adverts?

Hello, I was shown an article the other day online by a friend saying that there was a secret from PMDG that NGX V3 was coming out. I asked myself questions. 1. Where is V2? I dont consider the expansion pack V2. 2. If you guys release a version, how much will it cost and or will it be released as SP1E? 3. Whats the wait time? 4. what will be included? (Cockpit Visualization fixes, ACARS, Split Scimitars which you guys have been yelled at by many people since Boeing created them, etc.) Link to the website that I was shared :http://flightsimcentral.net/pmdg-hint-ngx-v3/ Thank You, Alex Kulak AlexKulaksPhotography, Swissport Ramp Services swavirt…

Recently flew this route. According to FlightAware, the flight plan is: EGLL MOWND300036 TOPPS ENE BAF HYPER7 KIAD Can anyone translate "MOWND300036" for me? I cannot find an answer on-line, or else am entering the wrong search question. There is a MOWND reporting fix in Eastern Canada. And, how do you enter into the PMDG FMC? Thanks!

Hello all, I know you have probably gotten questions or concerns regarding the price for the NGX in P3D. I'm just wondering if for the price, is the NGX for P3D worth it? Thanks, Tom Farran

Hi guys, I use a Saitek yoke, any reason why the red button underneath the left handle disengages autopilot in the NGX when I don't have it assigned anywhere in my sim. For some time now I have all joystick and button assignments removed in FSX main controls. I use FSUIPC for axis setup and LINDA for button controls. In both FSUIPC and LINDA there are no assignments for autopilot off. Funnily enough I am having the exactly same issue with my Majestic Q400??? I'm totally confused. The obvious answer is I must be mistaken but last night I put some time aside to look at this issue and I definitely do not have any button assignments on the red button in either FS…

Hi guys, I am very fond of the 'accelerated' rate of service based failures but for those of us who fly different liveries etc. one doesn't often expect anything at all to go wrong on a FS flight, when in the real work, QRH actions are not uncommon. I was wondering if it was possible to implement a pre-defined age of the aircraft, so the user can choose whether they're flying a brand new aircraft, or one with thousands of cycles (particularly the 400). This as well as somehow linking the amount of hours accumilated by type not by livery. But not sure if that is possible. Then we can experience the aircraft creaking and having more minor failures etc. than …

Hello. this is happening on both of my P3D 2.5 and FSX simulators on different machines. my aircraft is PMDG 737 NGX. Aircraft is stationary , parking brakes on, and when you change to different views, aircraft bounces. or ground bounces I am not sure. it is very crazy . Requesting support from PMDG for this issue. I changed Mesh to other than 1m as I read from someone, but nothing changed thanks in advance

Hi All, I unistalled the 737 from computer number one. Reinstalled in computer number 2.. Using W10, and P3D both computers. Now the problem is when I open the operations center, there is a red message saying I installed the 737 FSX version. I tried re-downloading, and re-installing, still the same. The plane loads and works fine. I would like to install more liveries using the center, but it does not allow me.. I do not have FSX installed on either computer. Thanks in advance, Jerry Friz Edit, I did an OC updater, still no help

hey, now that we have P3D V3.something ,(and assuming it lets us animate more stuff ) ,could you guys animate windows opening et all for the 747 ?? kind regards, jaffer hussain

I am running P3D. Upgrading memory ram. Should I buy say 8GB's at a higher speed, around 3000? Or, for about the same price say 16GB's, at a slower speed, around 2000? I know the 16GB's at a higher speed would be better, but, getting pretty expensive. Trying to make the best affordable choice... I will make sure the speed matches my ASRock 97 Pro MB. Thanks, Jerry Friz

Hello All - It's been a while since I've posted (i've been away for quite sometime), I've recently had a motherboard failure and will be in the process of reinstalling FSX and all the addons (including PMDG 777, 737, J41) and FS2Crew) onto a new machine. I have no idea where my original FSX discs are (i believe there are 4 of them) and not looking forward to a treasure hunt, is it possible to purchase the FSX steam edition and use my add-ons such as PMDG or do I have to purchase the "Steam" edition of PMDG? This answer will determine if i'm tearing the house apart tonight:) Thanks in advance!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfmJQ_OiFxE Captain Don Grange (Cathay Pacific) explains the 747-400 and an approach into Kai Tak Hong Kong. I my opinion quite a good video.

Hello Pmdg Team This post is really addressed to the vc 3d modeller . firstly i would just like to say having seen the recent screen shots well done to you and the whole team for a great job so far, its looking really good and the attention to detail generally is at a very high standard. I hope you dont mind if i point out a couple of areas of inaccuracy in the vc that ive noticed from the most recent screen shots . I appreciate that often screen shots can distort 3d objects and give a false impression however i feel in this case that these points are not affected in that way. firstly the gap between the top of the glare shield and the upper edgle of the fron…

Kyle! Please help a guy out here...I can't be the only person who loves this plane. Do you guys plan to release the J-41 for P3D? I bought P3D and spent loads of moolah on addons for it and even built a whole new computer for P3D (which runs awesomely) but I have been waiting for the J41 as it's my favorite plane to fly. The 7x7s are well done but the J41 truly feels like flying to me. Thanks
