Hi all. The 0503 cycle of SIDs, STARs and IAPs is ready for download at PlanePath http://home.sw.rr.com/filesherenow/index.html.EnjoyTerryPlanePath

as I was departing san juan airport on a 737/800 ATA flight at 7:20pm departure, it was dark already but I have flown many flights with all the pmdg planes but this alarm threw me off when I advanced throttles for takeoff. I had already waited 10 minutes at runway for traffic landing and I had great throttle power so I went ahead and took off (I knew I should have aborted but I wanted to get off the ground and get to KMCO)once I was off the ground it quit and I never figured out what was wrong. FMC was programmed,flaps set, alarms acknowledged ect nothing stood out for this alarm and I have done alot of flights before this happened. Normally I only get this if flaps aren'…

Is it possible to display the lower EICAS in the VC of the NG? I cannot figure it out. Appreciate guidance, thanks.Jonathan

Hi guys, whenever I have my left nav radio set to a station that currently fits inside my nautical display'range I get that green radial line extending from the station in the direction of the course set on the MCP. Ok, so far so good, I know its supposed to do that; but I'd like to know if there's any way that I can turn it off without having to "un-tune" my nav radio to that station. The only way I can get it to go away is to tune my radio to a VOR that is further away and thus not displayed or closing in on the ND range, and these don;t seem like a viable solution. Stupid question, I know... but sometimes the thing gets in the way and I like a clean ND! :) thanks for t…

Thanks Terry for your continuing work with the procedure files. I use ALL of the various procedures you generate and it really adds to my FS enjoyment. I trully appreciate it.

Hi all,just found a set of brandnew MD11 Screenshots in the german Vatsimforum and thought you might be interested ;-)This is the thread (in german language): http://forum.vacc-sag.org/viewtopic.php?t=8518And this is the direktlink to the zipfile with the pictures in it:http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0104908/AA1..._PMDG_MD-11.zipBye!Volker

When I go over to the radio panel on the PMDG 737_700, I can't switch on the frequency after the desimals. Like this 118,00 <- the two last siffers after desimals wouldn't change. Only the 3 first siffers, the same with NAV, can't change the siffers after desimals there. I have tryed to reinstall PMDG, but I still have the problem. So please help me out here

When I fly into London from the North West (usually EGPF to EGLL) somewhere around the Oxford area is a waypoint labelled UK03. Any idea what this is and why it is numbered completely differently to all the other waypoints please ?

Is there anybody living near Moraira on the Spanish Costa Blanca who understands the FMC well and is willing to meet and sit down at a computer and share his/her knowledge with me ?Cliff

Is it possible to remove the 2d side views from the 737 package?

Just wondering when flying a long trip, say from Toronto to Vancouver I at cruise level get a message from my FMC saying "insufficiant fuel". There is enough fuel on board. I use the fuel calculator and am using FS Nav for to plan the flight. This message remains until just before the TOD, then it disappears. Am I doing something wrong? BGPS

I have sent PMDG an email on getting an update for the links for both airplanes. I have not got one reply. I sent them the message last week on saturday. My name is David Shapiro. Please reply PMDG. Thanks again. I can't wait till the 744. Thanks,David Shapiro

Hi guys, i can't install liveries at all, not from the CD or even downloaded models. It keps telling me my livery installer has a problem whatever that means. Can you help me figure this out please, thanks for your help.

Is there a way to change the flight number from the previous flight to another one without reloading the whole aircraft?Eien

Hi PMDG crew,I am having this problem when I fly the 737-700, (it is the only one I fly right now), When the weather is in the area of -27C to -35C or so, the start switches will not release to the off position. -After the engine starts, I have to manually move the switch to the off position.could this be a bug?thanks a bunch,

Hi there,I used to have this rumble sound when retracting / extending the stairs. I believe they are connected to the concorde_visor assignment, because I have the same sound in other planes too when opening for example the cockpit door.However, since deleting the Dreamfleet 727 this sound is missing. I miss it in my PMDG 737 aircraft, cause I have to check the outside view to see if the stairs are down. Before I could here them coming up /down...Does anyone know where I can find these sounds (I have searched the main sound folder) or how to put them back?Thanks!

When i run the installation it freezes on C:/Windows/fonts/lucton.ttf i restart it and it does the same anything im missing?

Hello, I dont know how to get two beautiful paint scheme for -700 version: Air Senegal International and Air MauretanieDo you have any idea??

Hello,First of all PMDG let me thank you for making us such great add-ons, can't wait for the 744!I'd like to make a small suggestion for the 744. In our sim world crossing the Atlantic usually just means inputing NATs instead of regular NAVAIDS and fixes... Even if it's not much, how about simulating requests for oceanic clearance via ACARS? I think that just having the page on the FMC and being able to "send" the information about your crossing, and having to wait for that DING DONG with your actuall clearance information (same data just copied back to you in a clearance format), could be a nice addition to the realism of the flight.Would love to hear your thoughtsthank…

I am installing FS2004 and plan to instal a zillion existing add-ons from my older P4 onto my new XPS PC. I have successfully installed FS2004 and wondered, is it safe for me to instal the official MS patch for FS9 first and then re-instal the PMDG NG series? The patch has a warning about trying to instal stuff that modified the original, unpatched FS9 and I want to be as sure as I can that I get the sequence right.Appreciate any advice, thanks!Jonathan

With all this brainpower available, does anyone have a suggestion on how to capture actual times of arrival at flight planned waypoints? I'd like to have this ATA data available for post-flight review.Thanks in advance.Todd

Hi,Have noticed that when updated the AIRAC/navdata that some of the sid's and starts are missing I've backed them up monthly and had to add and old one for LHR as some SID where missing.Would appreciate any help.RgdsJason Thompson

Hi all.I have been flying the PMDG 737NG since it was first released and love the product.I have been having problems with the autoland function. I have an approach set up, on approach speed, Vref set and stable approach.Almost every time (about 99 times out of 100) as soon as I touch down the Autobrakes disconnect and I have to jump on the brakes to bring it to a halt and can't use reverse thrust.I don't know what I'm doing wrong so any thoughts would be appreciated.My system is a P-IV 3.4, 1GB DDR2 RAM, PCI Express Video card with two 17" LCD monitors, with CH Pro Pedals, Yoke and Throttle. FS2004 SP1.Mark

Awesome work PMDG!!!Matthias
