I watch many cockpit videos. This is a crosswind landing. Look at this video at 2:40 secs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhO1BeC7m10 Why is he truring the yoke full left while on the ground? I know he is jumping on the rudders, but why the arelons? I tried to replicate this in a crosswind, I ended up lifting my right gear all the way off the ground.

Hi guys,A very strange issue that I noticed only at WF Scenery Studio's Beijing Capital (ZBAA) scenery. Whenever my PMDG Boeing 777 (as well as my QW 787) is at this airport, and only at this one and only airport, the dome light does not work. The switch does work properly but it does not project any light at all. However, when I depart from the airport and leave the scenery territory, the lights suddenly do begin to work. Or if I just simply position the aircraft to any other scenery or airport through the menus, again, the dome light works without any issues suddenly. The same I experience using the QW Dreamliner. The dome light however does work using the CS 757 as we…

Hi all, Did everyone of you an email for the activation? I didn't even tough my email is correct.

Hello Firstly I apologize but I have read about every post on FMC/NAVDATA issue and I cannot seem to resolve my problem which is: Issue: I continually get the "NOT IN DATABASE" message on the FMC's of both my B777 & B747 but NOT my B737NG when I try to enter the initial airport IAOC Code from the airport from which I intend to fly. System: Windows 10, P3Dv4.Active Sky P3D. Orbix multi scenery. FS Tramp. PFPX, Navigraph Data Manager. No other add-ons or weird stuff all up to date. All system drivers up to date.

Captains, What can possibly be said about the Boeing 747 that has not already been said in some form or fashion? Not much, from my perspective. After all, if you are spending time in this particular corner of the internet, chances are you have already read most of the back-story to the airplane's development and heard all of the superlatives related to it's impact on global commerce. I did read something new this week: She has carried the equivalent of 75% of the global population- which really is staggering when you stop to ponder the number. In honor of her birthday, I thought it might be appropriate to share with you another short update on our pr…

Hey all, I've just found that if the autobrake is in the main panel there is a phantom clickspot in the pedestal near the brake accumulator gauge. Is this intended like the screw clickspot for TOGA? Thanks Alessio

If you are using P3Dv4 and are a PMDG driver, try this free p3dStarter trial to check if it something for you. http://flightsim4fun.com/downloads.html

Hi, I have tried to search a solution for this to no avail. 2 months ago, I got myself a Samsung Odyssey+. Amazing immersion. But I keep loosing internal sounds when swithing on VR. I routine is 1) do pre-flight in 2d, 2) from push-bash to TOC in VR, 3) cruise to TOD in 2D 4) Descend to engine shutdown in VR. My problem is that is soon as I start WindowsMixedReality on, I loose cockpit sound in the 737,777 and 747. No clicks, no flaps sounds, etc. I tried to search in VR forums until I descovered that it wasn't a WMR problem per say, it's switching audio device from one USB device to an other. I can replicate this just using my Logitech G330. Lauch P3d in 737, f…

I recently switched to FSX Steam and need to re-download my PMDG 777. It was a gift from my family. I When I go to the url to download (from the email) I get a Error: Your request ID is incorrect. Please contact store. This is VERY frustrating. I tried to contact support, but it when I requested a new password, I never got an email. PMDG, I love your planes, but your support needs some work. I am a paying customer and shouldn't have to go though all this just to download product I've already paid for. Any assistance would be helpful. Thanks.

I've recently cleaned out my computer to improve performance and currently in the process of restoring all my payware aircraft. I need to login to my pmdg account to retrieve the installer and activation key for the 737ngx that I purchased back in 2017. when I try to reset my password it says my email is not associated with the website and strangely enough i could make a new account with that same email. i know i used this email to purchase the 737. I have tried everything including searching my emails and files for a confirmation email/ receipt of my purchase. this is very frustrating

Need help. Did the uninstall wrong for the reinstall. Read the the big bold notice after the fact

Need Help. Unable to load new liveries from operations center. Try running as admin. No luck. Operations center has no option in the menu. Work before. Now missing that option.

After updating the navigation database, I end up with folders named "SIDSTARS" AND "NAVDATA" in my PMDG folder, and within the "NAVDATA" folder another set of "SIDSTARS" and "NAVDATA" folders. What should the PMDG folder contain? Thanks.

Hello, I've been flying some flights on VATSIM lately, and i remembered that i saw pilots executing an orbit procedure in a youtube video in the past. So, the thought of being instructed to do an orbit procedure came to me, but i don't know how to execute it. It's not the same procedure as a standard hold, and i'm aniticpating that ATC would tell me "(Callsign) do a right/left hand orbit to (heading)", but how do i perform this procedure in the NGX? Can i do it in the FMC, or would i have to constantly turn the heading bug whil in HDG Select? Also, does anyone know when it would be wise to start decelerating towards flaps and final landing speed when…

Hi there, i recently wanted to re install the pdmg 737 i had bought over a year ago but the download links simply do not work, I have tried multiple browsers and when i click on it nothing happens. What is causing this and how can i download my software. Thanks...

Hello PMDG , First of all I would like to wish you all the best for the upcoming 747 V2. Which I am sure will be a blast! However, I am really really anticipated for PMDG 787 Dreamliner ! It will be my dream come true to see the product from PMDG itself! Is this aircraft considered for further development after V2 or DC6?

I have a small issue with the Operations Center: I can select the PMDG 737/777/747 and it will show my options within that aircraft, but when I select the any aircraft which i have purchased, It wants me to buy it. I have already bought whole pmdg lineup for my P3D V4. I am using version 4.3 of P3D. Is there an update to the operation center I don't know about? Or is there a way to validate my purchase to allow the Operation Center to recognized the all my purchased product?

Captains, For those of us encroaching on 50 years of age, the acroynm "PBR" has a completely different meaning than it does for younger simmers- which of course has become the root for many a conversation of late here at PMDG. If you listen closely, you almost hear the laughter coming from the dev team when someone posts in this forum, "hey- when are you going to give us some PBR?" Well... It is saturday. Let's throw some steak on the grill and have ourselves some PBR, shall we? Jason has been hard at work revamping the models to accommodate Lockheed Martin's new "Physics Based Rendering" capability. This has required a significant amount …

Hi Would love to know does the flight director get turned off during approach (before landing) in case of a go around? As I am aware that you cannot turn off the approach button on go around when flight directors are still engaged.

Hello 😄 Just was wondering since I install My liveries from PMDG OC, what is chewwy's badge saying" Chewwy is my Copilot " doing on my D-ABYA's F/O Control Column? Got a Picture if needed 😄

Is PMDG ever going to do a 757? I own...well I think all your products, but need a good mid range option. CS does not cut it and PMDG can completely rule the flight SIM world with a 757 and perhaps a 767. Wayne

I have been confused over what settings should be set for consistent operation of thrust reversers. Is it true that I should have the following options? Thrust decrease quickly set to continuous Thrust reduce quickly set to none for no repetition A/T MANUAL OVERRIDE set to <NEVER A/T FLARE IDLE OVERRIDE set to <NO HIGH IDLE ON FLARE set to <OFF

Following a problem with the registry caused by a "PC Optimiser", I reinstalled my NGX, then re-downloaded the liveries from the Ops Center. During this process there were a couple of warnings that previous files would be overwritten, but this did not worry me and I selected the "Yes" option. On starting FSX for the first time since then I received a number of consecutive messages along the lines that there were 2 items with the same name which corresponded to the liveries I had installed previously. Is there a way in Ops Center to fix this? Rob

Any eta on new pmdg fourms ?
