PMDG General Forum

Hello PMDGers, I am getting a new PC this christmas (Which I am building :wink: ) I am not sure if this specs will be compatible with P3D running the NGX and the 777 smoothly. Anyways, less of talking and straight to the point. Intel Core I5 6600K @ 3.5 (Overclocking in the future) 8GB DDR4 Memory MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 650W Power Supply 1TB HDD Storage Now, I know this isn't a PC building forum at all but, simmers help simmers out, right? Any and all feedback is appreciated, I went a little bit over budget here (Budget was $900, all this is worth $938, of course I didn't put the cooler or the case in here but you get the point) Thanks Everybody For Their Help …

A few weeks ago I updated or it updated automatically, I don't remember... However it happened operations center no longer opens. I have tried running it as administrator and have reinstalled the 777 hoping it would reinstall operations center. I've checked the task manager to see if it running in the back ground and can't find any evidence that it is. I don't get any error messages, it just never starts. What else can I do to get operations center working again? Thanks, Joel

Recently installed and all working smoothly, Using a tutorial as test, speed ribbon goes up and down. Plane moves erratically at times, Tried with regular FSX 737 and same thing. latency: -1% Upload speed: @ 92 mbps Doug Pelton

Hi Folks, currently i´m reinstalling P3D from scratch (latest version), trying to update the Operation Center, it´s unbelievable slow and after a while an error message pops up : Download failed "Product Module 737NGX-P3D.dll has failed to download after three attempts. Please try again". I´ve been trying for a while now, but there seems to be something wrong with the update server. Livery download is as fast as usual, without delays nor problems. Activation also worked flawlessly. Any clue what might be wrong ? (Btw : P3D exclusive rig, AV deactivated by Group Policy, Firewall off, UAC disabled) Your help is greatly appreciated. Regards, L…

In general I almost never load saved flights, mainly because I usually fly for a VA, so flights have to be done in one sitting. However, I do use FSUIPC to save flights for any (thankfully rare) CTDs and such. I have PMDG's 737 NGX and the 777. When I do have to load a saved flight after a crash, the flight is never started from the correct 'saved' condition, other than being at roughly the same altitude (but starting to dive), in the same area. Whatever route I had saved in the FMC is gone. Most times I'm not able to load a new flight route, trying to put the destination in the 'Dep/Arr' page comes up with 'invalid entry'. On the 777 I'm able to get something fr…

Hi Everyone, Just a quick question, How can I start my 777 in C&D state in FSX? I had it done using a little add on for 744 in FS9 but can't seem to be able to figure it our on FSX which I recently installed. Thanks

I realize that is not the right forum to post my above question but I do it anyway. The question is what are the differences between Active Sky and REX ? What are the pro and cons. Thank you Hubert Werni

Hi PMDG, Apologises for posting this again but my post hasn't been answered in the 744 Section. I would like to know if the above products can still be activated again in FS9? With you not selling any FS9 products anymore that's the reason I'm asking? Thanks Jason

Hello I have been trying to find a way to assign a button on my saitek yoke to disengage the autopilot. Using fsuipc with P3Dv3.4. Do I need to do it with fsuipc or in the fmc? Thanks. Kevin Humphryes

With the release of P3D 3.4 and its VR support I'm looking forward to loading up both the 737 and 777. Has anyone had a look?

hello,can u guys please take a lot into this matter? many of the users are having this exact same error & we tried with almost no other addon installed.but,we have one thing in common.it's the pmdg 777.yes i can assure u we all have the latest p3d v3 installer for the pmdg 777.this is more likely to be an issue with the pmdg. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=113995&start=75 & to make a summary.we all are having this CTD randomly.some are having on cruise after 3-4hrs with enlarging some panels like ND or PFD.& some of us having it on approach. the last group of us having this just randomly on cruise without touching anything…

Hi, Just wondering if PMDG do support on weekends, due to I put in the ticket on the 23rd but have yet to recieve a response if they do not do weekend support that will just clear it up. It's just my account is currently locked and just need to clear it up so I can take the T7 bird up before my week of long work starts again. Thanks Michael Quinn

I have been away for some time.. I want to get back into Flight Simulation.. What's the best and easiest way to get back into it with new system.. I have: A new computer with zero FSX Software on it.. Alienwares newest Aurora R5 with the latest Intel processors NVidia GE Force GTX 1070 graphics card.. 16 GB RAM Windows 10 I own: PMDG 737 NGX PMDG 777 These are the two I must have on the new system but I also don't mind spending money if the approach to getting everything up and running is easier.. (like Prepar3d if it makes sense for me) What should I do ??? Install my old FSX Get FSX Steam Version Get Prepar3d (Do you still need to have…

It is with the greatest of pleasure that I can now unveil to the world that PMDG have partnered with us for the Flight Angels charity live stream event, this coming Saturday 17th September!

Hi Gentlemen, I got 2 physical HD on my PC. Operation Center is currently on C:/, and I need to move it to D:/, due to HD space problem. A solution would be to buy a bigger HD, but for different reasons, this won't be the choice. I tried to find a step-by-step procedure to move or uninstall/reinstall OC, but whith no success. Would someone be kind to give me the right way ? thanks in advance, have a nice day.

I want to post this hear instead of going to the registration process over there.. plus I'm sure somebody here has either done what I'm going to ask or have the same question. I downloaded the trial for Active Sky 16 last night. Runs great. For anyone wondering you can download the trial and run it separately from ASN... it installs a completely separate program, so id doesn't mess up your ASN if you decide to pass on AS 16 Anyway, my question is there a trial for the cloud art? It seems they go hand in hand, and if your going to put money down on AS16 you might as well put down on the cloud art. But the trial doesn't include cloud art, and theres no specific cloud …

Hi PMDG, Thank you so much for your updates and information you shared on the Flight Angels video yesterday. Very good news regarding platform development, DC-6 forr P3D coming out this year and basically going into Beta soon and an updated NGX. One piece of news you didn't really comment on was the 747-400?! Is this close to Beta? Any clues as to how you are getting on with the development. It would appear from the outside that the DC-6 is more important but i know thats not true. Please im not asking for release dates or anything like that just an update would be great. Thanks Blessings Duncan Odgers

Captains, A short note to let you know that tonight we have officially moved the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II base package for FSX and FSX-SE past an important milestone. She is now being flown and tested by our team of Technical Advisors. For those who haven't been with us through this cycle in the past, or those who didn't really notice it taking place last time, we operate with two independent testing teams: Team 1: Technical Advisory Team is made up of industry experts to include engineers, technicians, operators, flight crew and others with intimate experience in the operation of the airplane. These individuals conduct the first wave of testin…

I have purchased the PMDG 737NGX Base Package for FSX in 2013. ORDER CODE: Now I have installed this on my new laptop but when I enter the activation code received It does not recognize and it tells me that I do not have a valid license for this product. What can I do now. Since there is no email support from PMDG how do I resolve the issue? Stelios

I'll start by saying I've searched far and wide and literally have tried every piece advice I've found, that being said, clearly none have worked for me. I have zero issues before, flew 15 flights with both my 738 and 777F, I had a couple times the activation window popped up but I hit cancel and kept flying. Now the only thing that has changed is adding mytraffic 6 and a Windows update or 2. Now every single time I select 777 or 737 I get the activation window pop up, I enter the key and get the server can't be reached, and if I try to go in without regards to that message, I can't click anything in the cockpit. Things I've tried: Disabled firewall Disabled AV …

Modern airliners are programmed for every stage of long haul flights before they leave the ground. I have, on more then one occasion, handed over control during the take off roll and had nothing to do until the landing flare except maybe raise and lower the landing gear. And, like most people, I have sometimes messed up when configuring the navigation system. If you ever wondered what the consequences would be in real life, the linked article describes what can go wrong when flying a plane becomes programming a computer. The initial mistake was both small and easily made and the follow up mistakes were avoidable and just compounded the problem. Other then pride, no one wa…

Hello, I have a problem with AS2016. With the PMDG 737 and 777 only, after take-off or landing phase, when the aircraft should turn, it tilts but does not turn.. EFIS on the course runs well, but the aircraft remains on the same heading, then suddenly it catches on course to making shots! Do you have a solution? Regards Sorry for my bad English and thx "Google Translator"! :smile: response PMDG Hello Roch , You will need to contact tech support at PMDG. This is not related to AS16. Both the 737 and T7 have been thoroughly tested under development and I personally use both of them on a near daily basis. There is an aircraft configuration problem that needs to b…

been out whole summer was curious if anything new happened with pmdg747 saw last post back in june, was there any updates recently? just curious.

Captains, A few moments ago we made live the MacOS compatible version of the PMDG DC-6 Cloudmaster for X-Plane and simultaneously dropped an update to the Windows compatible version so as to bring them both to the most current cycle: v1.11.0045. The MacOS version is available for sale immediately- and the Windows updated version can be had by simply accessing your account in our eCommerce system, navigating to your purchase history and redownloading from there... Once you have the updated installer, simply run it over top of your existing installation and you will be all set to go with the very latest version of the DC-6! The change list for the DC-6 going a…
