PMDG General Forum

Hello all. I like everyone am awaiting the release of the awsome 744. Here are just a few of the pictures i took whilst on a recent trip to Antiguia. Just in case people start asking questions about how i can get access to those kind of piccies. I work for the Airline. Lets hope i can recreate some of those pictures with the PMDG offering.Just view them as a guest (You will see what i mean!!)Heres the link. http://journals.aol.co.uk/petemarnick747/virgin/Best regards Pete

Was wondering if PMDG plans to support the 737NG 600/700 for FS2002, or is that iced?Thanks,Gerry

Good Day:-waveI don't want to be a pain but i haven't seen any screenshots of the 747-400 landing and was just wondering if i had missed a post:-hmmm If not is there any chance of a quick peek at this bird landing with spoilers deployed and reverser thrust selected :-badteeth I look forward to more screenshots and the final release of this big bird:-jumpy Finally any chance of a quick update on how current beta testing:-grnmd

Hi Folks,I have just got back home from the convention in Blackpool and Aerosoft had a PC setup with the 'Queen of the Skies' flying. What a great convention it was and the PMDG B747-400.....The B747-400 is absolutely fabulous. I beleive it was still in beta but the VC and the 2d panel views are out of this world. It flew very smoothly and it was not on a top end PC.I am looking forward to its release even more now that I had a quick flight....only 5 minutes there was a queue :-)MikeEGGP

Hi,Ever since flying the CaptainSim 727 with their "check and set" I can't get over how immersive a virtual crew is. The LDS 767 has a basic virtual F/O, but it's better than nothing.I'm guessing that theirs a lot of PS1 pilots on this boards. You can't beat their checklist, airline specific, for adding that extra touch of realism. Will we see anything like this for the 744, or is it way too late in development?Cheers,PaulP.S. Any shots from the Convention?

How about a 747-400 queen of the sky video that will show us your work in all here glory. Looking ForwardTony

Hi all. If this has been discussed before my apologies but a search didn't indicate anything.If I put a full or nearly (96%) load of passengers on board a 737NG 600 and a small amount of cargo with 100% fuel the FS fuel and payload facility tells me the aircraft is several thousand pounds over the max gross weight. Has anyone else found this? The 700, 800 and 900 all seem ok on this.I've found that the only way to avoid getting the message is to increase the max gross weight figure in the aircraft.cfg file (which incidentally has no effect on the figure in the PMDG load manager! :D )Would welcome any comments. ThanksIain Smith

Hi,tonight I was missing my (red and green) navigation lights. They are missing in all the pmdg 737 ng models. All the other lights work fine and in other aircraft models the navlights show up. Turning up "hardware rendered lights" doesn't have any influence. Anybody an idea what to do?Herman

Great idea Vin...lovely airplane have to say.

While shutdown on the ground, will engines windmill according to the intensity of the wind? If so will there be an indication on the EICAS to this effect? Oh and also will we be able to hear the blades moving in the blade roots as a result.pAnmAn

Hello everyone,My problem is that basically when i change views in the 2D Cockpit, or change to Spot Plane view, TWR etc, at for example the default FS2004 Seatle (KSEA) scenery all the textures of the VC, gnd textures, tree textures, cloud textures, everything, go blury, it stutters before they go blury and then all the textures go blury, almost like its too much work to load all the textures. I have nearly all the sliders on full and havent had this problem before. What do you think? I have a few ideas: My graphics card is too old to cope with my systems demand (My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB, and the rest of my system is very up to date)? Some settin…

If you haven't already, take a look at the pmdg website, you'll see some nice new screenies for us to drool over, including some RR birds :-)

Guys,Is the event at Blackpool today a year after when Lefteris demonstrated the 744 to another convention?Im not too sure! Thanks in advance!Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

i was just looking at some flight deck screenshots (Real) and above the N1 readings on the INBRD CRT was a space for EPR readings... What does EPR stand for, and what is it related to?

Maybe????????/

did you model EPR readouts on the RR and PW models?

Hi guys!!! Can u tell me wich is the difference between this 2 models?? Hope u can help me THANKS!

hello,when I fly a single channel approach and want to cut of the approach I switch off the auto-pilot and give full power. But when I put the auto-pilot back on with a new altitude setting, the single channel approach continues. This is very frustrating. What am i doing wrong.How do you get rid of the single channel approach sign, what's the right procedure.thanks,Sander

I guess this is directed to PMDG folks, as I read about the 757-767 created to use Fly1.At some point, you discontinued these A/C (sorry just got tired of looking at 600+ pages! in this forum :-) and wanted to know if you have any plans to get these birds in the air again.Know yours hands are busy, but is any of the code for these birds resuable?Thanks,GerryP.S. Rob's a sure thing at the Reno Air Races this year! :-beerchug

One question and if your just gonna yell at me for asking this dont post anything but; I am wondering if we can look at seeing this bird by the end of summer 05'. like lets say late August?or even late september? or maybe late July!!!!! if u know anything please reply.

That the PMDG 747 will meet the high demands from users, using the Aerowinx Precision Simulator.An outstanding system simulation. A complex integration of systems, which are dependant on each other. More accurate than any other MSFS addon. And capable for computer based training purposes.An accurate flight model, which performs extremly close to real world specifications.Am I being realistic here?Thanks

I bet they will introduce the 744 there and then the product will be available on mondayGreetings

I normally have Sids and Stars in my flight plan which I create with FSBuild. With the computer on autopilot it follows the plan route and flies the Sids and Stars in the route.How can I fly a Sid or Star route manually, as will be required if I was flying on line on VATSIM for example. The Controller will give a command to fly vector xxx to a particular point and then etc.I have the PMDG NG737 600/700 which only has one Vor ADF instrument.Can anyone explain how to use this instrument to fly a SID or STAR.In other words to fly to a VOR manually? Is there a tutorial that will show me using the PMDG instrument or one very similar to it?Thanks.Stanner

Hi,I am getting a spurious "Low Fuel" warning from MSFS. The actual message is more like "Fuel in the selected tank is critically low. To correct this error, do X, Y & Z...In fact, both main tanks are full & there is approx 4000 Kg (8800lb) in the centre tank. All 6 fuel pumps are on & there are no failures or warning lights.Fuel is more than sufficient for the flight, arriving with approx 5000 Kg (11,000lb) remaining - yes, it's a tankering sector :-) This is very close to that forecast by the FMC before departure & during flight.I seem to be able to supress this warning by checking the "Unlimited Fuel" option in the aircraft realism settings, but am curi…
