PMDG General Forum

Guys, Just wanted to say thank you for keeping us informed on the progress of the queen. I know there have been complaints/comments when posting previews of the latest, but you guys should know that lots of us here appreciate what you are doing for us all... so.. I just wanted to express my gratitude...Happy landings!John

I was just wondering if one of the tallented painters would paint one or both of these liveries? I know there is an Alaska airlines one already but its really blurry especially at night. There is also no west jet one as of yet. So if someone could please paint them that would be awesome. Thanks Tony

Hello PMDG !!First of all I would thank you for the quality of your products I'm very impatient to buy the 747-400, probably like MANY other people. So I wouldn't ask you when this fabulous plane will be aviable even if I want to know ;)I have a question for you : Can we, like the 767 LDS, have shortcuts for all the buttons of the cockpit and overhead and other panels? Or will you give to us a sdk like them to permit us to control all buttons with hardware (fsbus or iocards)? It will be very cool for cockpit builder! ;)Many thanx, FriendlyMagic

It seems that whenever I use the A/P to fly an ILS in the 737-700 the A/P always "loses" the ILS, for lack of a better word, and reverts to VOR/LOC mode (i.e. localizer is tracked but glideslope is not). Am I doing something wrong or is there a fix for this?Thanks in advanceCharles Davenport

Hi there,I was using PMDG 737-600/700 with FS2002 and W98SE, 256 Mb RAM, TNT2 32 Mb & PIII450 till a week ago, when suddenly, when I try to fly again with PMDG selecting B737 , all EFIS seems to be OFF, I mean Panel is OK, I can see everything but seems like COLD AND DARK, but everything is working (ENGINES ON) flaps move but indicator remains in ZERO, I can move the COURSE & HEADING knobs but MCP seems to be off because I cannot see any value (SPEED, ALTITUDE), FD switch & A/T switch won

Hi all..I

So is this queen going to have the realistic "Weather Radar."??? http://images.airliners.net/open.file?id=8...=COCKPIT&size=LDavidhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/checkcapt.jpg

Dear PMDG,I have just finished making a 2nd signature using one of your 744 pictures on the main site. Although the picture is darkened out once again, I would like to request permission of PMDG to be able to use it :)http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8519/pmdgsigrobin1eq.jpgPS If the people from PMDG agree, I would like to make a series of sigs over some time until the queen is released. Is this possible?

Captains,These are the Cathay Pacific Airlines liveries that will be available from our download page once the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies is released.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122516.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122517.jpg

Have the FMC format files remained the same so folks can use the export function of FSNav to get flight plans in still?Ray

I purchased the 737 last week, but I can only open one exit (Front left door). Are there any more?Thanks!---------------------------------------http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v615/Dar...ows-naughty.gif

Hi,I am wondering, is it very difficult to program copilot option in an panel?By copilot option I mean possibility to have two players (both with purchased e.g. PMDG 747) interact on same flight (i.e. have PF and NPF where NPF can do the radios, etc. and it would reflect on PFs side).This would open completely new realms of simulation in my opinion. Finally checklists would be realistic challenge and respond, MCC comes in mind, failures would be different story, etc.I have no clue how difficult this is, thus I am asking. If I would like to see any new feature in PMDG in future it would be this :)Have a nice flight!Aleksandar

Watch this video:http://www.flightlevel350.com/viewer.php?id=3317 I noticed something neat that I've never seen before... The slats near the engines fold back in during thrust reverse. Then, as the pilot comes back out of reverse thrust, the slats return to their extended position. Neat.I gues my question is: will we see this behavior in the 744? I would think it would be difficult to program. Just Curious.Thanks,Jeff

the sound made by using the trim keeps going to 100 percent volume when i use it...even after completely turning down the option....same thing with the flap lever sound ...a couple of normal ones and then it jumps to full volume....then....when i check to make sure the slider is set to zero....i go back to the sim and ALL of the sounds are at 100% even though the slider is down!

Hello BETA testers,I was just wondering if one of you kind lads ;) could post a screen of the PMDG 747 landing from the cockpit view, say abou the middle or inner marker or so? Reason being is i just want to see if you can land this plane visually with the runway insite the whole time while on final or if this is one of those like some of the freeware 747's i have where you end up losing sight of the runway because the plane descends too fast so you're flying down the gs at +10 degrees to keep her on the glidepath. Hope this isnt too confusing!Thank you in advance!Taylor

Another thread got me thinking about a potential business venture for PMDG. I think they need to get into the frozen pizza busines both for sale in grocery stores and on real world airline flights. Obviously, there would be a large picture of "The Queen of the Skies" on the front of the box. Each pizza would include a CD ROM containing an installable upgrade part for the Queen. These could include such exciting items as deluxe all terain tires (you have'nt been off roading till you been off roading in the Queen), aftermarket racing spoilerons (giving your Queen the roll rate of a Pitts Special), or a set of JATO bottles (with these babies you will even be able to take…

Hello. I read that at one point, an update for the 737NG base pack (600/700) package was planned which would bring those models up to the level of the 800/900 addition without requiring people to actually purchase the 800/900 add-on. I don't -think- this has been implemented yet. Is it still planned for some time? My apologies if this long since been covered, I only recently started researching the 737NG packages.

Hi all, recently my trusted PMDG Boeing developed some strange diseases, which never troubled me in the past.I have two anomalies:1-Whenever i try to change my ADF1 frequency, it refuses to do so and immediately switches back to frequency 100.0. ADF2 works normally, but I can't find a reason why ADF1 is not working.2-Every minute or so the throttle advances to about 34% N1, without me doing anything. I use a CH USB yoke, which shows absolutely no sign of spiking on the calibration screens. In the default MS airplanes there is no such erratic behaviour.Does anyone have any clue what might be the problem?Thanks in advance for your help.Arjen Nederstigt

I am currently flying the 737-800 and have been unable to override the FMC speed contols during the approach to land. Consequentially, the plane is flying at a speed of 280kt on approach. How do you override the FMC?

Hey PMDG fans!After reading all the threads from everyone on the upcoming Queens release, I think I know why PMDG is holding back.PLEASE NOTE: This thread is written and meant to be humorist post, THESE REFERECNES ARE FICTICIONAL! DO NOT CONTACT PMDG ABOUT ANY OF THIS,,, ITS JUST FOR FUN!!With all the requests and wishes everyone is making, I think Rob decided to push back the official release date of the Queen until they can fully incorporate all the features of the following add-on products:FEATURE 1) Insect Simulator 1.0Once installed, runs as a plug-in to FS2004, allowing the user to configure the type, size, and amount of bugs that will hit the windshield. This is …

Hi Beta Tester/PMDG !I would like to know if the time the engine N1 rises until the engine start is completed compares to the real 747-400.The Level-D 767 Engines have a slow rise at startup and at shutdown.Thanks a lot.

We want the airplane in our PC's and not to be seeing photos. Until when this goes?Mauricio
