Can someone please paint this aircraft for me?

Hi!!When you are climbing from takeoff in real life- you will hear the engines throttle back from take off power to climb power.Is it possible to hear this?or is it just me who have to enter a different vallue in the FMC?I hope i have written this correctly down.kenn larsenCopenhagen-Denmark:)

Hi all,There's one thing that puzzles me about the Takeoff speeds chart found in the PDF flight manual. It's on page 10. The takeoff speeds are for the 737-700. To me, they appear to be about 20 knots too low. If you will notice, it shows a maximum weight of 180,000lbs and the maximum takeoff weight for the 737-700 is 153,500lbs, not 180,000lbs. Is this chart taken from the actual 737-700 manual and is this chart accurate? Why is it showing a maximum weight of 180,000lbs when the maximum takeoff weight is 153,500lbs? Something doesn not look right here. I just want to know if this chart is correct based on the real 737-700 flight manual. Ken.

OK, for whatever reason for about the last month I have noticed that in cetain situations my fuel pump switches and crossover valve on the overhead 2d panel don't work (they simply are "dead, will not move)Any time I fly a model with 2d and virtual cockpit, the above problem exists. Ive I fly a model with 2d cockpit only, everything works fine? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no help. I hardly ever fly with the virual cockpit so it's not a real big deal. Just bugs the #### out of me.:-bla Any ideas?

Hi all I have a question... I'm thinking of buying the 737 600/700 CD version and I was wondering what do I get on the latest Service Update on the website? Are the SUs cumulative or do I have to install them all? Reading a review here on AVSIm about the 800/900 upgrade, I saw that the package comes with a new panel and new systems logic updates for the 600/700. Are these updates for the 600/700 avaliable without having to purchase the 800/900 package? Since I'm mostly interested on the 737-600 I wouldn't be flying the 800/900 as much, so I don't want to buy something that I'm not going to use. I'm trying to figure out if it is worth purchasing the 800/900 package jus…

Has anybody tried aliasing the 1900C 2D panel over to the 1900D?

I just installed the PSS Concorde. Now the guages in my PMDG 737s are black. I always start with a cold cockpit. Some of the click spots on the overhead panel i.e.(strobe, anti collision,position) do not work either. I have reinstalled the 737-900 and the latest patch, but I still can not get the APU to start, or ground power available.Can anyone help?

Just took a real flight from Tampa to NY Islip (Long Island). After the flight,I asked the pilot if he landed ILS on the ILS rwy. He said he did a visual approach. QUESTION:If ATC gives a pilot clearance for a visual approach for an ILS rwy, what then is the role of all the istruments showing glideslope and localizer information? Is it just used to cross check the pilot's visual data?Also - in this instance - can I still USE the localizer & glide slope indicator to track track the runway with the auto pilot, or do I HAVE to track manually by hand flying the plane?Also - generally speaking - do my minimums change if I am asked to fly the approach visually? Will th…

Does anyone know if any of the ACARS functions are implemented in the 737 FMC? And, if so, what they do?Is there any point in "Initializing" ACARS?The menu appeared when I bought the -800,-900 update. It is not described in the manuals.Jack Laschenski

Did you read on Avsim's front page about this "Jump in the Jumbo to Frisco"? Apparently top notch quality video with 160 minutes of sharing a deck with a Virgin Atlantic 744 crew flying from Heathrow to San Francisco. Preflight, cockpit procedures, takeoff, landing, some unique exterior shots, etc. Is it possible to buy ITVV products in the US to avoid probably costly shipping charges from the UK? I am asking since had really hard time getting any information from their website. I admit even failed to locate this product on the internet.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/…

Hi there everyone, I was just wondering how do i use the stairs that come with my Boeing B737NG? Oh yeah...How ABOUT a DEMO video of the PMDG B747-400 of the thing actually running? Me and my mates here were doubting of the progress of the thing.Regards,Melissa

I'm trying to install Flightdeck FSX into PMDG's 737/600/700/800/900. The install is pretty straight forward, yet the FSX panel only works for the 2D panel config. The FSX panel wouldn't work with the 2D/VC and 2D/VC/VCabin. Here's the panel cfg. for the 600/700 models.

I have pdmg 600-700 and 800-900. I fly without the FMC because I am frankly too lazy to learn how to program the FMC. Reviews of FS2crew talk about using the FMC. Can one use FS2crew and not program the FMC? Thanks for your help. I am thinking about buying FS2crew. Conrad Jacobs

I bought the 1900C and flew it with no problems. I recently bought the 1900D and flew it, all good. I went back to the 1900C and the panel is now using whatever I flew last and the guages when zoomed in on are all blank. I only noticed this after installing the 1900D. Any thoughts?ThanksDon

Hi there,Just wanted to say hi to Lefteris. He was doing some (Alpha?) testing out of Athens LGAV on vatsim the other day as I was landing on one of my scheduled flights with BA virtual in a company who will remain nameless's ;-) B767-300ER. Nice to see that things are still ticking over nicely.

I curious as to what 64-bit processing might mean in the flight sim world.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...e/microsoft_x64The part that got my attention the most was this:"4 GB is the upper limit for 32-bit systems. By comparison, the 64-bit desktop OS will initially support 128 gigabytes of RAM."I wanted to bring this up here since it is actively viewed by some of the most knowledgable software designers in the flightsim world.My initial reaction is that 64-bit processing will bring revolutionary changes in the realism possible in flight simulation software.Am I being overly optimistic?

I have a problem with 06 ils at EHAM. Entered freq of 110.55 in fmc and was vectored by online atc onto approach at approx 2000ft. The horizontal ils diamond appeared but the vertical one did not and so I was not able to lock on. Does anyone have polite suggestion please? Is this a navdata problem -I have latest installed though! Bernie Lonnenhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I'm leaning towards building a sim flight deck versus building a homebuilt aircraft (for many different reasons)My question: I am a PMDG convert and now fly this aircraft exclusively. Does anyone have a simpit out there that flies the PMDG 737. I would love to hear the succeses/failures and complications associated with doing thisLook forward to hearing from you allJeffP.S. I realize there is a sim cockpit forum and I'm dual posting this message there as well.

Hi,Just purchased the 737 800/900 and I have to say it is the best aircraft I have ever seen for any FS, thank you to everyone involved in developing it!I am having trouble completing the tutorial correctly and could anyone help? the first problem I had was once I had prepared the aircraft for take off, the AT would not stay on? I would try to turn it on but it would switch off straight away and an error would come up on the pannel, I decided to load up the aircraft into the same airport with the engines running and did not have the same problem so I simply did the tutorial from that point instead but I must be doing something wrong for the AT not to work the first time??…

Hi at All !!!I have a question about altitudes contraints.I was making a STAR called "ALANS1" (ACAPULCO), and before cross A fix "D35ACA", the FMC told me this message "Steep disconnect after D35ACA", so I know that this message is refer that the aircraft can

Hello there Im not one for coming onto forums and preaching the gospel over a particular product, but the 1900C just needs to be recognised. I own both the NG and 800/900 and have found them to be excellent. As a change I decided to buy the 1900c to give me a break from the line [FS2CREW]. I was firstly amazed by the visual quality by the models, which capture the essence of the 1900c. The most amazing thing is the incredible VC, those refresh rates are so good theres no need to use the 2d! [Which is also exceptionaly crafted] which is something I have not been able to do in anything but the Flight 1 C152. However, the very best thing about the VC is that I can actu…

When flying and using the FMS I notice that some of the altitude assignments for the waypoints are suffixed with an "A" I can't seem to find what this means, maybe I missed it but any help would be appreciatedJeff

Hello..After installing the 1900C and then proceeding to install some liveries I discovered as was posted previously by others that I could not install the FEDEX livery plus I was getting the default Cessena panel.I have now installed the SERVICE UPDATE V1.02 and subsequently I can now download any livery including FEDEX with everything properly installed. Thanks..TH
