HiOk, getting close to landing this puppy correctly. I cannot find where to enter the landing flaps and VREF into the FMC while on approach (as per the FS2Crew manuals). Would someone please lend a hand?Thanks!Chip B.

Hello everyone, This my first post to this forum and unfortunatly it is a problem with the 737-600/700.:-zhelpWhen I load the plane, I do my start up and noticed that the fire bell would not work and about 10min into the startup, the FMC screen flickered and frames dropped to no more than 5fps It does this in all of the windows ie. overhead, throttle, FMC. When you switch to the outside view the frames are normal. Also when you use the hat switch to look sideways or at an angle, the frames are normal. It has happened twice now so PLEASE help I would be lost without this plane ;(;(

In light of the recent release of the LDS767..it has been found that the A/T will not work with any PFC (Precision Flight Controls) hardware (confirmed by other users of PFC users as well) and the 767. Currently your 737 works great with it. Many of us use the PFC throttle quad and love it. We use Pete Dowson's PFC.dll v 1.90 currently. I just ask that someone from PMDG tests the 744 with this hardware to ensure compatiability. Thanks.

Hi there,I just wanted to voice my experience dealing with PMDG and its support staff. Last night I double clicked on a bogus batch file on my PC and of course my system shortly after was trashed. I know, I should know better, lesson learned - the hard way.After dealing with PC's for more than 10 - 15 years, I usually back up on a regular basis but haven't in a while loosing all my flightsim add-on's including my beloved 737NG.One - just one - email to support and within 2 hours I had a new download link and 2 replies from PMDG's support. I am a manager working in customer service and I always expect the best from my employees, this is exactly how I want my customers to b…

HiWould someone please help me with these functions? I can see the MINS knob, but it doesn't seem to be functioning. What is its purpose?Also, I can't find anything pertaining to the FLCH. Where is it located, how do I manipulate it and what is its function?Seems I need these functioning correctly for a landing that doesn't scare the daylights out of the Pax... Been through the manuals for the better part of two hours, and can't find what I need.Thanks!Chip B.

Hi all,my first time posting,I bought all of the PMDG 737's,and I have a question regarding the trimming,everything is perfect inside the cockpit but when you look outside to the aircraft, elevators move inwards & backwards without setting the specific degrees,for example if I set 5 degrees down elevator will intend to move to that possition but inmediatly goes up againg to his default setting let's say 0 degrees,please some help on that? Regards Joaquin.

Can anyone tell me how to set up a two screen environment so that I can put say the overhead and FMC windows on the second display thus reducing the amount screen changing that has to be done.I have two LCD's working in the windows environment, but in FS2004 it won't work.Neil Bradley

HiI'm considering purchasing fs2crew and was wondering if anyone could tell me whether it is capable of continuing where it "left off" if a flight is saved then subsequently reloaded.I'm assuming it probably can't because, as i understand, it assumes a cold and dark cockpit when starting it up.RegardsGary

Somehow I have corrupted or changed the taxi/roll sounds to my aircraft in Virtual cockpit view. Everything is fine in 2D view, it's just in VC mode. I have not received any remedy so far so I thought I might restore my computer back to before the problem started to see if that helps. I know I added the 737 800-900 since then as well as FS2Crew. I guess it is best to uninstall them first. I could not find any uninstall option in my PMDG folder or in Windows XP control panel Add/Remove Programs. How do I uninstall the 800-900 so I can reinstall after using restore?? Thanks. Tom

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm new to this forum. Do 737NGs have foldaway airstairs in real life or is this a PMDG fantasy? It seems a brilliant idea to me!Iain

Hello fellow PMDG lovers!I was wondering, on the 747 model, will there be dual control surfaces on the elevator and rudder?ThanksJohn Speranza

Guys - As the beta testers got clearance to post screenshots from the ongoing evaluation flights with the new Beech 1900C I thought I would share some images with you.Parked outside the cargo terminal at ESSA.

I dont know if this is simulated in the 737, but say you take off with derated engines, and during climb out you experience a major engine failure, does the FMC change the derated thrust rating or do you have to manually change it through the normal method?Thanks in advance!Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

I only found one for the FFX Boeing in the library so I thought maybe someone has made one for PMDG and would be willing to share ;-)If you have no clue what I'm talking about: http://www.skyone.co.uk/programmes/milehigh/

i was wondering if the pmdg team were considering making the wx radar functional for the 737ng family,like it is on project magenta nav display?it's just that all the associated buttons are modelled as if it were to be developed at a later date. anyone any idea? john

Hi all,I love to fly the "little" PMDG 737-600. Last week arriving at LIME airport (Bergamo,Italy) the weather was dreadful, with thunderstorm and 20knot wind. ATC told me the rwy in use was 11 instead pleasant 29 with ILS: so circle-to-land.. Obviously I'm not a circling ace..so the flight ended in a great KATABOOM ...I know the procedure at a theoretical point of view, break the approach at 1600', turn 45 degree left and so on. What let me astonished is how REAL PILOT flight this proc!. The problem for me arise when I'm in a parallel track to the runway and choosing the right moment to start the 180 degree turn to get aligned with the rwy. I rarely get, becouse I suppos…

Hi Everyone, Can oneone help me out? If I use my pmdg 600/700 aircraft I cannot get atc to use the airline call sign for Transavia,Easyjet or Midland.For example if I select Easy 442,atc only calls 442.When I use other pmdg aircraft i.e. Continental,Southwest,Scandinavian or Lauda then atc uses the full call sign.Not sure if this is a pmdg problem or an fs9 issue.Any help would be most welcome.Ron

Hello,First of all I want to warn you that my english isn't the best on eatrh so be patient please :).I downloaded the "Paint Kit" of the 738 from PMDG's site, I loaded the textures into my "Photoshop" I made some changes on the textures and saved them as BMP 32Bit format.After that I used "DXTBMP" to convert those BMP's into 32Bit 8-888 Extended Bitmap files.So far so good...But when I loaded the textures into the simulator, there was a drastic change on the quality of the textures.I can't describe you the changes so i will show you a picture:At the picture you can see:1. At the background you can see the picture from the simulator, it's in low quality and it's spread a …
