PMDG General Forum

Hello:Is there a way to change the colour of the ILS triangles and horizontal pitch lines in the primary flight display (PFD) in the 1900C?I find it is hard to see them and black would be a better colour.Thanks

hi allas you can see in this pic, i am on descent into sydney but its telling my in still in CRZ?help!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/117317.jpg

With the d/l of AIRAC 0504 and continuing with 0505, all my courses when using the PMDG 737 are slightly off. This is the only add-on which I have this problem. To test, I re-installed 0503 and all was normal. I thought it may be a problem with 0504, so I waited for 0505, but the problem continues.Any help or information will be appreciated.Thank you,Michael

Okay, heres the deal...I understand how to use the FMC but using it with ATC is confusing to me. For example, T/D point that the FMC has calculated starts before FS2004 ATC clears me for descent. If I stay the cruise alt and wait for ATC the FMC says "screw you I'm not waiting any longer" and I lose VNAV. Do I descend at the FMC T/D point or wait for ATC? The same problem occurs with stepped descents that are different to what the FMC has calculated. Surely this can't be right!?Any ideas?

:-) Ok after fooling around with this trying to gain access to the rear cabin area heres how you do it. First go to the Flight1.com web site and download the FREE ( Flight1 View Module ). Thats right its free and does the same thing almost as Active Camera,it will get you in the rear cabin area.Download ( F1_View.dll ),it FREE and easy to install.Now that you have that install startup FS2004 and at the main screen choose the B1900C from Aircraft and make sure you have choosen the PASSENGER VC VERSION (Not The Cargo or Frieght Version).Click FLY, when your B1900C is standing the runway at KSEA go into the ( VC View MODE )and scroll with your mouse to the rear cabin doors,t…

Hi,Yesterday I defragmented my hard disk, and today the PMDG 737NG won't load. When I press "Fly Now", FS9 crashes to the desktop and I get an error message naming the culprit as: pmdg_737ng_main.gau. I guess it got corrupted somehow. Neither the -700 nor the -800 works.Do I need to re-install the 737ng from scratch, or can I somehow fix the gauge?Regards, Gabriel

I use FS Build or Flight Sim Commander to build flight plans for 737NG.These plans both have the same problem. When I load them into the 737FMC the point of descent (TD), is too close to the arrival airport.I then have to override the flight plan, and begin a very sharp descent, so that I am forced to use airbrakes to reduce excessive speeds because of the sharp descent vertical speed (feet per minute) required.Does anyone have the same problem with flight plans created by FS Build or FS Commander?Any suggested solution"ThanksStanner

I have just updated my FS 2004 to version 9.01 and when I double click the icon on the desktop, i get the following error message:FSUPIC has a problemThe version of FS2004 detected is not compatitble with this version of FSUIPC. It is build 9.01.4091. You need the correct version of FS2004.Check the help-about: the build should 9.003612 FSUIP will terminate when you select okDid anyone experience such a problem when updating? How can i solve this problemThanksIvor

I am having a problem with Tim Metzinger's Advanced Operation V2 tutorial. I am on lesson 2 and i have set everything properly on the overhead and have set up on the runway. I increase the throttles to 40% then click TOGA. at V2 I rotate. I put gear up at pos. rate of climb. At 400ft I select HDG as roll mode and set MCP to V2+20. Then at 800ft I put MCP speed to 225 and retract flaps at schedule. SPD mode and HDG mode is selected at this point. Then at 1000ft I engage CMD A. After this the 737 never levels off at 1500. It just carrys on going up. Even if as I pass 1500 I set altitude level to 2500 and press LVL CHG but it still doesnt level off at 2500. It does up really…

Hello,I'm beginner with PMDG 737 and it's very exiting to fly with this aircraft.So I'm trying to export flyplan from FSBuild to PMDG but I have the following error :"ERR-Unable to create PMDG 737NG file PMDGFLIGHTPLANSLFPGLFMN.rte"Could you have some ideas ?Thanks a lotREgards,

:) Hello Guys! This is my second B1900 purchase from you guys and I love both the B1900D & the B1900C now. My question is where or how do you click to the Passenger and cargo area? You said you would be able to take a seat in the passenger area and ride like a passenger so how do I make that happen if you don't mine me asking.Is it a Button or Key because can't find it,please help me out if you can.

Hi Team,I had to re-install the 737NG, which I first did with the removal tool. All went well with no problems, I am running FSUIPC 3.48. Now when I take off, the planes climbs perfectly and handles just the same. All autopilot functions work as they should. Then when I reach altitude for example 34000 feet, the plane levels off and then begans a slow climb to 45000 feet. This has never happen with over 1000 hours in the NG. If I click on level change the plane will make a slow descent but does not come back down to 34000 feet. Vertical speed is almost inaffective.I check this behavior with both ActiveSky 4.5 and FS Weather over different routes with the same resul…

hi all ive ordered a new system as below, what can i expect running PMDG 737 800 in VC modeo only on VATSIM?AMD Athlon

I recently purchased the 700 and 800 sim programs and have been using each of them. I notice when I save a flight or location and when I begin a new flight the location is correct but all the data in the FMC and MCP is missing. Is there anyway to save the location as well as the data programed for departure.Thanks,JM

Last nite I flew a totally beautiful 2000nm (yeah!) flight in the NG 900 model from daytime to night time across the Med, but when I descended for approach and landing, no landing flap settings appeared on the left side of the PFD. I'd been flying in VNAV all the way over and I set the desired flaps in the APPROACH page and clicked, etc. But nothing appeared.I think this has happened before some time ago as well, but I forgot about it.I wondered whether going from daytime to night-time had some effect on the annunciations not showing up, but maybe not.I also wondered whether saving the flight earlier in the day, and then booting up FS9 once again at a later hour and re-…

First, I am really happy witht he 737NG series, I have just logged my 120th hour (according to FS Flight keeper). All of the versions fly like a real airplane and the systems work as they should. Congratulations. Secondly, I have been flying the C-40 and VP-40 a lot recently and when I try to fly from Andrews AFB (KADW) to Shaw AFB (KSSC)when I programmed these into the FMC it returned a "Not in database" message. Is their any way I can add airports to the database?Thanks,Bill Ehmig

Hello, I've been running the PMDG 737 NG and 800/900 series on my computer for 1 year now, and upto now I never had bad framerates, all of a sudden I am getting bad framerates, is there some type of bug?Can someone please help me, I am taking off from KIAH, and after I load the FMC it just drops down to below five and it is terrible, any help?Thanks Chad Moore

Does anyone know the easiest way to go back to the original Fire and Mster Caution Lights on the main panel? I prefer those than the ones they went to.Thanks,Dustin Pearson

First of all, let's let the cat out of the bag.....I may be ("may" to save me some self esteem) an idiot. As an example, I found a tutorial named "geezer" and immediately thought someone must be peeking through my window. However, the geezer they were writing about understood FTC and all that jazz. Here's an example, it directs one to enter position at POS/INT and next also at LSL1. Well, I sat there and could not find anyway to put NZCH at anyway but the very bottom...what do they call that a notepad or something. Having said all of that is there anywhere I can get a tutorial that trains a totally unadvised and simulation flyer? This one would advise exactly how to do …

I have seen in Tim's tutorial how to get a cold and dark cockpit but am curious how to do when I am:1. Creating a flight in FSBuild, then using Gatekeeper.2. Loading flight in FS3. Then starting the flightWould I have to have the cessna selected, load FS, do the shutdown, and then change planes? Or is there an easier way?ThanksDustin Pearson

How do I track the back course of the localizer during approaches so that the plane flies down to the runway? What button do I push on the MCU Panel? The manual does not discuss how to track the back course localizer. Thanks in advance for all your help.

I have downloaded the update for FS 2004 however when I opened the file it gave me a warning saying that any add-on which has been installed may not work properly. I cancelled the installation and want to ask you people whether it affects PMDG products?ThanksIvor

Simple question. Before I buy GoFlight GF166 Radio Panel, can anyone confirm that they work with PMDG 737 NG. I know some GF modules don't but it is this specfic GoFlight module that I wondered whether anyone had tried.ThanksRenzo Nicoletti

Ok, I need some help.I had posted this message in another forum,"When I am in 2d mode my panels flicker black ever 5-10 seconds or so.At first I thought it was just my PMDG stuff, but then I loaded default as well as other freeware planes, and they are all doing the same thing, if I am in the VC everything is ok, same with spot and tower views.
