Hi there:-wave To all my American counterparts i do hope you had a fantastic independence day:-beerchug Just a quick questions to everyone out there in PMDG land!What will flights will you be doing this weekend if the Boeing 747 is released:-outta Also a quick question to the beta team and everyone at pmdg, how is testing going and what are the chances of us seeing this bird this weekend:-bigangel I know you don't advertise release dates but please we all need this bird now:-xxrotflmao I am going crazy and am due to start my commerical airline pilot training soon! I really need this bird! PLEASE!!:-violin

I've done a search for instant replay and none of the threads mentioned this so here goes.Whenever I replay a take off or landing to capture screenshots, the landing gear isn't shown. The aircraft just floats along the runway with the nose gear door open.Also, the First Officer is constantly saying what sounds like "don't think".Can anyone explain what's going on?Thanks a lot.

Does someone know one?Doesn't matter which airline.

can somebody please talk me thru (or point me in the direction of) the step by step installation procedure in layman's terms ? im faced with decisions i cant make, like which file do i download to,do i overwrite, what is this set up program, can i only install to FS9, which components do i select etc etc. am now very fed up spending hours trying to interpret insructions such as "install this", "download that" . i just want to get this beast to fly !neil c

will VC cabin lighting be controlled independently, or turn on with the NAV lights, because 744s usually do flights where the passengers need to sleep, and bright lights wouldn't help that :)

Hi Beta team - we didnt see any new picts lately - please providew us with some. Its like being on drugs. i need themSincerelyMarek

Hi All,Does anybody from PMDG or the General public want me to produce a 744 checklist as per my 737 checklist that I made for the PMDG 737 series?see link:-http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Loca...e&ImageID=91703Robert,Hope this is ok with you?Alternatively you can simply search the file library here for my name Phil Thompson to find my other checklists .... :-)Kind Regardsp.s. cannot wait for this baby to be released !!!

Hello,I am still waiting of the release from the B744. In the meantimeI fly with Level-D 767 witch is also an incredible Aircraft.One of the most important things I love with the 767 is that I cansave a Flight and all Data were keept. So I have the chance tomake a long haul over two or more sessions.My question is if this also useable with the upcoming B744?Thanks in advance and kind regardsAndreas Hoevel ( EDDL )

hi Guys,sorry if this has been asked before. will the 744 be available for purchase on CD or DVD? thanks in advance for the info. happy flyin, Tim

Hey guys:I recently pushed all my FS9 realism sliders to maximum. Since doing this I've been having problems maintaining a straight line after landing in the 737 series. It wiggles left & right as I try to straighten using my peddles. Anyone in the back would suffer brain damage! Ideas? Perhaps the realism sliders should not be to the right but elsewhere for realistic performance.Advice appreciated. Thanks...IAIN

Hi,i have just found in the forum of ASV that a SDK for ASV has been announced with an interesting feature (http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=171&topic_id=19371&mesg_id=19371&page=):- Ability to read Precipitation/Radar dataI know that for the upcoming 747 it is too late and that it will not have a weather radar displayed but maybe PMDG could add the Weatherradar as the ASV-SDK seems to make that possible in a patch after the 747 has been released?Any comments welcome!Thomas

Hi guys,I just took a look to the PMDG website and there I saw a new picture with all the B744 liveries; they just look great! :DBut my question is, if there will be a frighter version??Cause today many Cargo- Airlines use the B744; not just for passanger transport and I think that it would be great, if you could release such cargo version!Best RegardsMichael

Hi there,I just wanted to say that the preview pictures on the forum and the site of PMDG look superb!Only one question: does the 747 have wingviews (visible from the virtual cabin) just as on the 737?I didn't find that on the (already lengthy!!!) features list.Thanks for your help and I'm looking forward to the release.

Hi,A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Microsoft to be a part of their FS2004 survey. As part of being on this survey, there is a program which must be installed which basically monitors your activity while FS is running. Trust me, it is legit, I have been in contact with the team already. Anyway, to the heart of my story. I flew a flight one day using one of the great PMDG 737, and FS locked up about 3/4 of the way through my flight. The Event Viewer Log said that the problem was FSLog.dll, the file that is installed in the Modules folder of FS as part of the survey. So I wrote the team, and they wanted me to give them as much information as I could about the…

Hi all,Just wondering if the english version of the FMC video has been released. I still haven't heard anything about it. Is it still in the works and when is it going to be released?Ken.

hi everbody...I new here..just started to fly with PMDG 737NG on FS2004 , it's really a lovely aircraft (especially because it came with fully virtual cabin) but encountered some problem...I literally followed tutorial flight by Fred Clausen (flying from KDEN to KLAX on minimum loadout programmed using PMDG loadmanager ) but using 737-700 (without winglet)...all the FMC are programmed and engine is running up...but by the time I want to flip on the AT switch, it flip on for second and then flip off and some button flashed with red light (can't really see what the button said)...I've reset the flight and try again and sure have checked every step of the tutorial but still…

Hi,I really do hope someone can help me. I have 737ng 1.3 600/700 running on FLTSIM 2004 CF. I did upload a patch, that I should not have, and since my flaps on the 737 do not work. If I extend them the lever jumps back and keep fully retracting them. I have tried the remove tool and reinstalled 737ng + MS FLTSIM many times, but with no success. I even looked at the joystick setep and this is fine. All the other MS aircraft work plus other aircraft I have installed.Has anyone any other tips I can tryCheersRicky

How is the beta testing going? Any surprises for us

Hello!I don't know if this is a PMDG only matter, but when I change views, from cockpit to outside and back to cockpit, I get double sound. It is two sets of sounds on top of eachother, resulting in a "flanger" sound. This is even more appearent in outside view, where the engine sounds get strange. Does anybody know how to get around this, or is it just me?Regards,tore Stabell Kul

Wanted to ask if the 744 will have this function available to put in wind direction and knots at certain way points - like in real - so the flight time can be calculated exacty.GreetingsMarek

Hello,I NEED ANYONES HELP!!! I have been tryin to fly online with VATSIM for months and I cant ever get it to work with my FS9. I know im doing somthin wrong, the closest I have come was I could hear other people at one time but that is it, ANYONE if you can help me get up and flying I will be sooo thankful.

Gentlmen,I have found that 2D gauges of the cockpit panel have been seen through the cockpit door from aft of the cabin in the virtual cabin view.Is this a bug?Sincerely,Kan-ichiro Fushihara

Will the new software be able to replicate VNAV approaches that the real aircraft does?

..These are precisely the types of ill-informed threads that make me consider putting the beta team under a no-posting policy. RR.I admit I have little in common with folks who show fascination with wipers, virtual cabin, glare shields or in how many places wing flexes.On the other hand there are plenty of sharp eyes around here and as recent experience showed they can point out some hard to see inaccuraries in places where it matters - like for example this PFD idiosyncrasy.So getting some feedback may not be a bad idea. If you shut it down you may throw the baby out with the bath water. It cuts both ways. Honestly I don't know what is better for the project.Michael J.Wi…
