PMDG General Forum

Hello all,Last weekend I made an improvement to my self build thrustlevers. I implemented thrust reverse. A thing that I experienced is that when the reversers where pulled out of stowed position, (REV turned amber in EICAS) there is a forward thrust not reverse. Only when I pull the levers farther back they turn GREEN, then there is a reverse thrust.Is this normal or is this a FS9 thing.....ThanksErik

Bug Up manually to UPAP + LVLCHAP + VNAVFD + TOGA + N1It's so confusing!Still not clear on bugging up and when it takes place. Searched AVSIM forum and went mad tonight. Full of tweaks and exceptions. Can somebody explain consistently?Appreciated !Thanks!Jonathan

Hi guys I'd like to know where can I download the B737 load manager for FS9. I couldn't find it at the official PMDG website. The one I have says it's for FS2002 and I'm afraid it might not load my 2004 737s properly. thanks in advance for the help. Victorhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Hi all, I have just downloaded the procedures for the pmdg 737 fmc and many of them do not work with new cycle 502. I was wondering why they are included if they dont work. Was trying to set up a flight from KIAD-KATL but no sids or stars would display. Where can i get a working set from. 2 major airports and no sids or stars.RegardsDavid

I got the B737 last week & just did my first FMC controled flight & first autoland. This is a sweet bird. Thank you PMDG.Pat Callaghan

HI GuysI am not able to find in the forum or the manuals if there is a possiblity to read and input QNH measures (altimeter setting) in mm rather than inches.Fly the 600/700I fly in Europe mostly and everything is in meters scalestksDiego

When I start fs9 in default and then switch to the PMDG 1900 all is well. However when I use the click spots for the radio or the GPS the sound goes to a very loud static pitch. It also occurs when I popup the Reality gauges. If I don

The terminal procedures for cycle 0502 are available for download at http://home.sw.rr.com/filesherenow/index.html and the PMDG site.EnjoyTerry Yingling

Hello all,how do you programe the FMC to overfly a waypoint as opposed to "cutting the corner" on tight turns etc?RegardsHoward

The topic says it all. Thankyou very much.http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=1166RegardsRussell Jourdain (NZL007/ZK-RHJ)

Hi, I don't know if this has been adressed before, I ran a search on it, but didn't find anything. I guess my question is, why is it that the horizontal stabilators don't move realistically, when I adjust my trim on the ground, the stabilators shake a little bit, but don't actually change position like in real life, and I was wondering why PMDG has not made a fix for this. The only reason I can think of for this is that I don't know what I'm talking about or, this is on;y an issue with my 737. From what I know, when you trim full up the stabilators should be full down, and when you set trim full down, the stabilators will be in a fully upward position. Anyone who can …

To PMDG Staff,First, I would like to say that the PMDG 737's are the best aircraft ever for Flight Simulator. The only aircraft I will be flying in FS2004. :-sun1I would just like to make a suggestion regarding the way the Load Manager adds passengers. Starting at the first row and filling rows going aft would create havoc with the weight and balance if you don't have a full passenger load. A random seat assignment generator as you add passengers would be more realistic and also have a more even weight and balance.Just an observation and suggestion from an A & P mechanic.Otherwise, a fantastic product.Cheers :-beerchugFred Bray

Hi, A couple of days ago, Scandinavia was hit by an extreme low pressure area. In Copenhagen the QNH was as low as 973 mb (could have been lower, I only did random readings). I noticed on approach that as soon as I decended through the transition altitude and hence reset my altimeter to local pressure, that all of a sudden I was already lower than lowest cleared altitude. My question is, how are situations like this handled in real life? I assume that the pilots in this case switch to local pressure a bit earlier to prevent decending too low. Is that so?ThanksBoazEKCH

Hi everybody, this is my first post hereI'm having some trouble using the stabilizer trim and rudder due to the jerky movement. I found some posts mentioning this problem and I quote one here:Quote start:"The NG contains an electronic trim limiter per button click. The reason for this is that many joysticks in combination with some inherent weakness of FS9 (not previous versions mind you...) result in impossibly large trim changes per click and make the aircraft difficult to fly manually the way it should be. The (visual) jerkiness is a result of dis-synchronisation between (a) FS wanting to do its own wrong little thing and (:( our stuff (thru FSUIPC) making it right (no…

After installation the 800-900 series, i have a problem with the 600-700 plane.When I go to the overhead panel, there is only the Main panel with black screens.What is wrong?greetz,Peter Deneve

PMDG 737 (I have both 600/700 and 800/900) is in my opinion the best addon ever made for FS, but there is still lot of work to do.Is it possible, that there will be some v2.0 update? With features that would add a more realism to the sim. First big thing missing in such a great add-on is RANDOM and INTELLIGENT failure generator. Such as birdstrikes during takeoff or landings, overheating of some anti-ice systems when operating in high temperatures, random engine failures, oil leakings....And second thing is some more systems working. Such as stanby systems (standby flaps....), antiskid systems and runway conditins simulated (braking efficiency dependent on weather provide…

Hi,Trying to install this software by double clicking on the exe and while the DOS window appears briefly, no install occurs and the system locks up the file. (ie not able to move, copy, or delete the file) I have FS2004 installed on a 2nd HDD with a drive letter of T: Could this be the problem? Any help? Thanks

ok fair enough PMDG wont tell us excatly what's in store (although there are some exact specs mentioned). i thought it'd be an idea to ask everyone what they'd expect in the upcoming 747-400. mine are:-customisible cabin FA/captain annoucements-wing bending/flexing, especially when flying through turbulence

Hey guys, I have tried learning how to use the clock on the Approach view window but so far I could not find any published literature regarding its operation. Can anybody help me with this? Cheers, Victor

(Edited subject to reflect real question)Hi iam not sure if this has been discussed before but i will ask anyway cuz it really bugs me !. I have bought KMIA scenery from flytampa today and i wanted to fly from KMIA with pmdg 737ng well when i was going to select runway and sid the fmc said err: RWY 08 unknown ok i said and tried to go to the sid selection page but there it said no sid avaible and no runway was visible at ALL !!!!:(. i have looked at the KMIA.txt and i cant find anything wrong:( this is the only airport ive found that acts like this. But also KMCI actully. Why is it like this? Is there any fix for it?:(.Best regards: Alexander

The panel for the 1900C looks just terrific - what are the chances we will get to use thins on the 1900D ship? Or, are they totally differnet codings and ships?Just a thoughtThanksDoug

This morning I tried seven times to start any of my PMDG 737, each time the system would hang first on the AIRAC load, I then downloaded the latest release, but still no luck, it now goes through the loading of the airac without any problem but crashes thereafter. Since all my other aircraft work properly, I suspect this is a PMDG issue and dread the reponse that will tell me to clean up my PMDG aircrafts and reinstall because my files are corrupted... Since I like to understand what I am doing, I would want to know why this happened in the first place especially since I did not change anything at all (no new installation or deletion) from the last time I used my 737.Than…

HiHow is possible that my landing lights and taxi lights iluminate the runway or taxiway? In spot view I have the lights iluminating both but when I turn to cockpit view, I can not see where i taxi because I can not see the yellow lines in the taxiways because light is not enough to iluminate both.harpsi

What slider settings are you using to fine-tune the sounds for your PMDG 737-800? Or, are you using add-on sounds for the aircraft? The reason I ask is that I just have a feeling that the "mix" I have just doesn't seem to sound quite right - too much extraneous noise and not enough aircraft (yes I know the engine sound is muted somewhat in the cockpit in real life). BTW, I do have a high end card and high end speakers.My settings: Engine 91, Cockpit 55, Environment 5, Navigation 25, Lessons 50, ATC 95.Thanks!

PMDG: Please email me with the download link for 737NG 1.3. I purchased 1.1 and I emailed my receipt to you.Paul said he sent me an email, but I received no such email --- I even searched my Deleted folder for "737," "Precision Manuals," "PMDG," etc., just in case I deleted your email.Please re-send the download link to my email address:[email protected] a backup, please send the download link to my other email at:[email protected] McNeilly
