PMDG General Forum

Question for PMDG: This aircraft was a test case for development in x-plane. Is there any verdict yet as in succeeded and yes we are going to do more or is the jury still out. Perhaps it's already answered somewhere else but I haven't seen it, so sorry if I am asking again. Forgive my blindsight, I just read it in another post .....

Good day guys, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday. :smile: I have been an X-Plane user now for some time and I am extremely delighted to be alive to witness PMDG's ventures with the sim. With the impending release of the DC-6, I am now curious about PMDG's potential future on the platform. Although I have read countless times that the company indeed plans to continue on the platform, I am more interested in feasibility. What hurdles have the team overcame in their endeavors? Is it a drastically time consuming process to develop for both platforms simultaneously? How different has the development process been for both platforms? I'm also intereste…

Captains! A few moments ago, all of us at PMDG did something we have been promising to do for about five years. We just released our first, natively developed product for X-Plane: The PMDG DC-6 Cloudmaster! We have been showing you this magnificent product for well over a year now, and we think she is quite simply, the finest simulation of a classic prop-liner yet produced for flight simulation. This project began with a PMDG site visit to survey one of the last remaining passenger configured DC-6 aircraft in the world, and became a labor of love for the entire team that has created this simulation. I don't think it is any secret that all of us at PMDG are fans of…

In the DC-6 cockpit I will like to know the purpose of the 2 ropes hang near the compass. Pierre Dupuis

In a previous post I mentioned that when you have NAV1 tuned to a VOR, the localizer deviation bar appears in the PFD, which I'm not sure is right. Now, I found more or less the opposite. When both radios are tuned to the ILS frequency for the approach, the RMI needles will point to the ILS. The same with the pointers on the ND, if you set the EFIS controls to VOR1 and VOR2. Since the LOC works completely differently from a VOR I doubt if that is correct. Could anyone enlighten me?Thanks,Leo Bakker

I have 2 flights now in a row in different parts of the country not allow me to climb over 175kts. My throttle is fully open, TAT -13c. I have the green up for flaps on the speed indicator but my flaps are fully up. I am at level flight and still only 175 knots. Manual speed is set to 250. Something isn't right and for 2 flights in a row.my fuel is also light so it's not overloaded. http://postimg.org/image/4ah233eej/

Hello, a member of my family beng an airline pilot on 747-400 for Air France he sent an email to : [email protected] to participate in your BETA to help you, but I'm not sure it's how we should proceed! thank you in advance

After researching the benefits of Prepar3d I decided to purchase and convert. In the research I did do, there were discussions about how well add-ons performed etc and most indications were that the add-ons performed well but for whatever reason, in all of the reviews I read, I never caught the point that for a growing number of add-ons the publishers are making the business decision to require a complete repurchase of their product to use in Prepar3d. Here's the breakdown for the products I use the most: PMDG NXG 737 - $89.99 PMDG 777 - $134.99 A2A Cessna 182 Skylane - $49.99 Flight 1 FTN 750 $ 64.95 Real Air Turbine Duke - $0.00 (no need to repurchase …

Hello, I have Nvidia 680 GTX 4GB, and I'm planning on getting the new nvidia 1080 video card, Can I use a different monitors resolutions for FSX and P3D mixed together ? I have 30 inch monitor 2560x1600 and another (2) 23 inch 1080P monitors. Thanks Evan.

Hi Folks, trying to purchase the DC6 for xplane. After being refused two times, I called my bank and we BOTH tried making the purchase to no avail, still getting denied. My bank says its on PMDG's side since I do have sufficient funds as does the bank So far it's taken me an hour...my valuable time- As an attorney and PR prof (retired now) my time was always valuable. As is everyone's, Trying to find customer service is like trying to find the Holy Grail! Found it for everything else but that!lol Maybe the store is down? dont know...maybe a phishing scam? dont know Any help will be well appreciated. Maybe a free flight on my new DC-6 Thanks in advance peeps!

My name is James from Hong Kong. I have flying yours 744 for years. I am going to buy yours 777 for my boys. My question is, does the on-line(download version) included the latest AIRAC cycle data?

Hi Guy's I'm new here and I need some help but my english is not the best. I have changed to FSX Steam and I uninstalled FSX. If I open PMDG OC and when I will exectue a PTP the following error is show -> "The following error occured: 'title of the repaint' is for the PMDG 777 or 737 but the variant is not installed." I've downloaded the newest installer from my PMDG card and run the installation again but with the same result.

Have PMDG pilots found Navigraph cycle 1604 rev.1 faulty? I've observed that Navigraph cycle 1604 (released 2016-03-31) is faulty when flying PMDG. I understand that this is a Navigraph issue. Very difficult to achieve landing and erratic on take off and cruise. This same issue occurred with previous cycle 1603. Presumably this was noticed by Navigraph, and a 1603 rev.2 was released. That released worked. Work around is to install 1603 rev.2. Tried it and works ok. I've notified Navigraph support forum. Sydney Turner Alais: topfly

I am wondering, when is the JS41 coming out for fsx steam edition? The reason i ask is because on PMDG's website it says in february, was that february 2015/2016, or is it february 2017? I have been waiting so long for JS41 steam edition, i am literally everyday searching for "JS41 steam edition" in hope of finding a new status update on that plane. Yes i know that converting the 777 took more time than expected, and then the development on 747v2 got in the way, same with DC-6, but you've actually been saying in an update back in early 2015 that it just awaits testing, and then you've said this in march 2015: "Pending Updates for the J41: Beta testing the J41 has tak…

Hello tried to install the 737 into a new vanilla p3d 3.3 installation today. the box doesnt come up to enter my serial in. Please advise, dont worry I sussed it. I hadnt installed simconnect. topic can be closed thanks

Hey Guys, I'm 41 but at my age, I jokingly refer to myself as 'a child of magenta'. When I first started paying attention to aviation, the 757 and 767 were new and while I did see DC10s and 727s, INS as a method of navigation was on its way out and GPS was the next hot thing. I saw a discussion about older methods of navigation and PMDG's release of the DC6 started me thinking. While I'm a person who reads a lot of history just because I'm curious, I really don't know the technical details of older ways of flying from A to B. Anyone care to point me in the right direction to some literature containing such details? Anyone who flew the DC6 care to entertain …

I would like to give my brother a gift of the new DC6. How do I go about doing that? Do I purchase it in his name and send him the link? Does he have to register it himself, etc? I can't use it at present because I fly x-plane10 on a Mac but he uses Windows and since he was a dispatcher when the "6" was active he would enjoy it I'm sure. Thanks Don MacDonald

Captains! Tonight we have an update for the vintage airplane fans and X-Plane users looking forward to the upcoming PMDG DC-6 Cloudmaster for X-Plane. One of the things that is interesting about simming is the diverse range of interests from which simmers draw on the hobby. Some simmers are far more interested in visual detail that allows them to engage in an immersive story of the journey. Others are more interested in sitting down with original manuals and working the knobs, switches and levers to recreate perfectly the steps taken by aircraft flying in the real world. One of the challenges that PMDG sought to undertake when we launched our first product line in Au…

As we all know FSX ATC is very basic and out dated. However early arrival information is helpful in determining runway selection for landing. FSX ATC will not give you access to tower or ATIS until you are very close ie 20-30 miles at best. I believe that when you can select your airport from the ATC (nearest airport menu) you probably cannot contact ATIS or Tower by radio frequency. Why FSX stops radio contact up until this final position I have no idea. Does anyone know how I can contact atis or tower at an earlier time (say 60 miles out) or obtain rwy info so that earlier preparation and FMC set up is possible. Regards Paul

<p>Please note, I don't own PMDG products but asking here because I've asked this question on other forums and haven't found a response anywhere else.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hi, I'm trying to figure out how the engines and props on the Jetstream 41 work. The way I see it, Beta is only active when you are going in reverse? So the manual prop blade pitch control only happens when you're reversing and PG is active when you're moving forwards (whether it's taxiing on the ground or in flight). Correct?</p>

I am trying to reinstall my basic file for the 777 into Steam and I received a failure error message saying the install failed because of "Coexistence Failure" which continued to say contact PMDG support and they would furnish me with a program to correct the problem. How does one contact PMDG Support for this?

Hello, I am trying to set up the account at PMDG website, in order to purchase the 777 product. However, when I try to register, I receive a message that my email address has been already used for purchase a product, and I need to log in via the Order Code. I have decided to ask for the code (using the same email address), however I get another 'error' message (no orders have been placed - no wonder My last order was for 737 for FS2004). It is possible to reset my email address? If yes, I will provide it to proper person (for obvious reason, I do not want to post it here). Thanks! Andrej

I begin to have little Space on my c: harddisk. I have goo Space on D:. Is it possible to relocate the PMDG 737 without destroying the the set up, or set it up again without bying it once moore.

Hi I remember seeing a post by scandinavian13 giving exact instructions for removal of both the 737 and 777 before reinstalling. I would be grateful for a link to that thread or for the exact instructions to beadded to this thread. Thanks in anticipation

Hi As I'm from the UK, I operated from UK/European airports which use HPA, when I load the 737, 777 and I'm guessing the 747, they load automatically with IN, is there a setting where the pressure setting loads in as HPA as default. Joe
