It looks stunning on all counts so far!!!Thank you so much for making it possible.:-)Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

Is there a way of telling when you are passing the Outer Marker in the PMDG737-700.This is really helpful when flying online as ATC sometimes says maintain ???knots until outer marker.Any help appreciated, ThanksDavid

Hey all. A while back I posted here trying to get help in getting the 737 TCAS to work with online traffic form IVAO and I still haven;t been able to get it right. The TCAS works great when I'm flying online with VATSIM so I'm guessing that maybe it's got something to do with IVAO settings or fsuipc etc. I really don;t know. Could anyone help me?Thanks for the help!~http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

When the 74 is released, try to duplicate this landing.I know it's a 742 in the link, but still worth a try.http://www.skypark.org/747Landing.htmGoran

Sometimes, all of the landing and taxi lights will go off for some reason, leaving me, sometimes, to taxi in the dark, why is this?thanks,b. glass

I'm very new to the amazing PMDG B737 - so when trying to enter a Route into the FMC I keep getting an 'error' message that says "Not Found in Database" or similar. The Airport is Heathrow, London EGLL - I have updated the SID/STARS Folder and the Waypoints Folder, so I must have done something wrong here. I searched the PMDG SID/STARS Folder but found no trace of EGLL, is it possible that this fairly well know airport has been 'passed over'? :)Could some kind person enlighten me, please?KenSomerset, England

Hi,If you use the 2D-cockpit, it is not easy, to open the 2nd CDU and the lower EICAS fast and directly via the panel.Because it

hi there. Could you please tell me how long it will normally take for the cd version of the pmdg 747 to be released after the download version is available.thanksR.King

Hello:I know that you are busy with the 747-400 beta testing, fixes, ect. Can you perhaps tell me the status of your MD-11? I did see some screen shote of it on your webpage. I am glad Bill Grabowski has joined your great team of talented designers. He along with your team have my deep respect for what they are doing to make FS even better for all of us. I look forward to your release of 747-400.Kind regards,Charles Huckelbery

Need some help with downloading the latest cycle. I select the PIC-PMDG product vesion but I only get a few Kbytes and then it says it's complete. I have never had this happen before. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, Yes, this is my first time and I wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem (B737-600 or 700 2D view):On startup during a night-time flight when the main panel shows up, the MCP panel blinks once and almost everything in it disappears. Then when I check the overhead all of the buttons and switches have disappeared. Some of the digital displays remain.Here is the interesting part, if I click where the panel lights are on the overhead and click on the lights to turn on and off everything returns, all the switches, knobs, etc. The MCP panel then lights up again with all the displays working properly.Anyone else seen this problem?

hi allPersonally I find it very useful to fly with a two monitor system. I found out, to place monitors above each other and place the upper one more distant and angulate the lower one gives a more relaxed flying, especially in finals. I have the instruments on the lower screen and outside view on the upper The little bit more distant placed monitor simulates a more realistic "outside" view and the ergonomic situation is more cockpit like than in monitors with side-by-side settings. Third the instruments and control elements have a better readability if a 17" or a 18" monitor is used, even in a single monitor setting with 21" monitors.For better impression have a look at …

Hi there betatesters and team,can you switch between the two screens? (to have the EHSI on the left and the PFD on the right?)Nobody asked this untill now, so is this little extra implemented into this product? Not a big deal if not but I thought I might ask ;-)Thx

will the 744 speedbrakes be using the same logic that the 737 800/900 did, or has PMDG developed a new one/redeveloped the existing one... Reason for this is because i sometimes have difficulty operating the speedbrakes in the 737, and i believe others reported problems also.

Just a few piccies for the masses.....What happens when you cut your engines, at least on the EICAS..http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/120985.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/120986.jpg[h4]Randy J. Smith[/h4]

Hi all,are there any Checklists for abnormal procedures available? For instance hydraulic, engine, electric-failures?Bernhard

Can anyone help. When I attempt to program the FMC in the 737-800/900 arr/dep with the dep airport EHAM which is the code for Schipol I get an err message KAG unknown, although I know it is the correct code. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Hi guys,I just noticed the two Flight Director switches on the glareshield and I was wondering how they work.If you turn one on does the other switch auto engage? Or are there two seperate parallel flight director systems on the 747?Many thanks in advance!Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com
