PMDG General Forum

just purchased the 1900. flies grat. the panel is missing multiple gauges. multiple pop up panels are not viewable either. i have uninstalled it twice now and reloaded it. doesn't seems to do anything. i have contacted custumer support with no luck. seems kinda wierd you pay $14.95 for something and it doesn't work correctly. also the cargo hold will not open. did anyone else notice that the brakes are too weak? on startup the brakes don't hold the aircraft from moving. this seems to be a great aircraft. but i am asking for help with this problem. don't know if i am missing gauges are what.

Is it possible to install all PMDG 737 600/700/800/900 in a folder in the desktop to save in a .zip to add to FS2004 when i whant or i realy have to use the .exe program?? :)

Hello all,I really enjoy the PMDG 737, but due to a certain reason, I can't.I have the orginial 600/700 1.3, and the 800/900 1.1, on FS9.1 with Windows XP SP1.The problem is that the PMDG works sparingly. Most of the time it will load up, show the panel for a split second, then go all black, causing a complete freeze in Flight Simulator. I have done everything reccomended excpet reinstalling FS9, which I would really rather not do considering the massive amount of work it would be to reinstall all-ons and what nots that have collected on my computer over the years.After I remove/install the PMDG, it may work once or twice, but then with no apparent change it will go bac…

Can anyone advise on joystick sensitivity settings for the Microsoft Sidewinder Pro(no Force Feedback, when flying the NG(-700, in this case)? I realise there is no procise answer to this question, but I would be interested in any settings you might have used and found satisfactory. Or, do the default settings work as well as anything else?By the way, is there any way of saving more than one configuration(ie, one for the NG, another for the ATR, etc)?Appreciate your help.BR,Frank

hello All,how do you reset the fmc route after you have acivated it? I load a flight into the company route and activate no probs...if you want to change and load another route whilst flying how do you deactivate the other?Thanks in advanceHoward

Ok.I have a problem with A/P disconnecting. I have isolated this to the A/c Inputs basically my joystick and or pedals. I have a Saitek X45 and have some rudder pedals.Force f/b is set off but still A/P disconnects. Any ideas on how to overcome this please.Andy.

Ive been finding I'm getting "seemingly" random instances of the A/T not engaging. Its always at the start of the flight, and the TOGA will not select nor will A/T arm inflight. It usually works fine for me, so I imagine its something I'm causing myself. Any input? I dont use VNAV as I find it usually conflicts with 2004s ATC. I use LNAV, and set in my speed/altitude manually.

Hi to all,Should you not have seen it, Richard Stefan has opened a poll under this thread: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...sg_id=519&page=Please vote as your opinion will make the difference in the future for the Airinc cycles.The poll has been opened for several days now and only 49 users have voted. When I compare this number with the 6,428 downloads of the PMDG Airinc cycle this month alone (even if only half are used by PMDG simmers) I wonder why you guys are so shy.Please take also a look at the following thread: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...sg_id=522&page=where Richard would like to see your comments.I guess it is in the interest…

Hi Just installed 3.411 of the above to rectify AP disconnect due to joystick noise and now I can't get the APU to start. Whats the latest version guarantted to work with 737NG 800-900.CheersAndyEGNX

Hi there,I'm using a 5 inch tv for displaying the FMC. Moved the FMC undocked to the little screen and resized it to fit. When I go back to full screen the size of the FMC changes to default,....leaving me with an unreadable small FMC on my cute little tv. I'm able to resize the throttle view in full screen for example,..............why is this not possible with the FMC.By the way,.. I can't find the multi monitor option in the PDMG styles menu?!! Thanks for answering,Jeroen op den AkkerThe Netherlands

I just got PMDG 737NgAny way like the tutorial says i updaed my SIDs and STARs and downlaoded AIRAC 0501 so why am i getting this error i have this problem with all airports and after i go to the DEP/ARR page theres no runways or SIDs or STARs t chose from

Just curious as to whether the FMC in real life (or our simulted one)has the capability based upon entered data to compute the required takeoff roll. I can't find anything about it, but I would presume it should be able to with the weight, temperature, altitude, and barometric settings as input.Thanks-

Could someone kindly point me to a list of keyboard commands and their PMDG counterparts. I want to map LNAV and VNAV to joystick buttons (we had to lay off all of our first officers in order to compete with the discount airlines). I've searched the forum for key map, and key mapping, but without success.Many thanks.

New to 737NG but rally impreesed so far. We needed a good FMC WITH scenery. Good FMC on Ps1 but no scenery. This package seems to fill the gap.However, if you could help me with the following questions:-1. Can't get TCAS to enable. Pressed the rotary button and the white dots appear around the plane come up but ND states TCAS Off?2.Keep getting a kinda flaililng noise from time to time in flight any ideas?3.Is it always necessary to have STAR transitions To APPs. Or can I just select the STAR. If you always need a trans how do you know which one to select, other than trial and error. When I select certain STARS/Trans I am sometimes way to high to capture the G/S.I am usin…

I need to ask a fellow PMDG 737-700 pilot a huge favor.Is it possible to create 2 real flightplan files for the FMC for me?I need a flight plan From EGGW (London Luton) to EGAA (Belfast Aldergrove).And a flight plan from EGAA (Belfast Aldergrove) to EGGW (London Luton).I've Tried using FSBuild And the export PMDG export feature which works, but the routes are wrong and the aircraft does some strange things on descent.Please pretty please can someone do this for me?You can email the plans to [email protected] ThanksAdeyhttp://members.lycos.co.uk/electronicplayg...0easydriver.jpg

This is a new one for me:There's 2048 on my PC to load FS9 and any other required load files. I have the FS9 disk4 in the CD drive; the load process goes fine (most times). After using EditAll, there should be plenty of available RAM. But, if the dreaded: "You don't have enough..." comes up, I'm forced to reboot. ;-(Anyone else seen this and found a fix?Ron - CYEG

Hi,I was flying from HEGN to EDDN and I noticed this: The MAX. Alt is lower then the OPT. Alt, should it not be the opposite???http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/83942.jpg

Hi.I have the standard 737 and the up-dated 800/900, but I wondered if someone could kindly tell me how I go about removing them please, I can't seem to find a uninstall feature in the PMDG folder, and I can't find it in the add remove programs either,thanksSteve.

Hi there,A question for the rw pilots or those that have been in a 737 sim.The electronic trim switch on the yoke. Would I be correct in assuming that you push it up to trim the nose down and push down to trim the nose up, the same way that you push the yoke to lower the nose and pull to raise it?I ask this as thats the way I have the switch configured on my Saitek X45 flight control system.

Hi allIn the takeoff area on the FMC were you put in the flap setting for takeoff ie: 15 degrees.And on the right hand side you have V1/V2/VRThat is where i am unable to click the LSK to enter any values.Is there something im doing wrong?Thxs in advance

Hi guys,I was just wondering how the different passenger seat configurations are activated, ie either one class or two class layout.For example, I have a TNT 737-600 cargo plane and was wondering how to apply a weight system for that plane.Many thanks in advance!Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

Hi allI am a new PMDG 737 driver, enjoying this fantastic sim. Whilst I am learning something new all the time, a couple of questions have occured which the manuals or forum searching have not helped.1. In Timothy Metzinger's excellent tutorial, he mentions on one of the tutorial flights to make sure that on landing and taxiing to the ramp, make sure your flaps are raised, i.e. "Taxiing into the ramp with the flaps down is a signal that you wish to be met by armed law enforcement personnel". Why exactly??2. What is the purpose of the COURSE knob on the MCP? The manual explains what it is, but I cannot find an explanation of what it does exactly. I set the knob to the…

Hi!I would like to see opening doors from inside the virtual cabin in the 737 NG planes.Is this possible for the PMDG team to add in an update to the users???Many thanks for replay from the PMDG team!RegardsMats, Sweden

HelloThe other day on a long flight I got myself carried away with ActiveCamera.Flying in the 737NG 2D and VC only, I 'slewed' myself out of the cockpit. It's quite a nice look to see the cockpit-only flying in the sky (especially at night).Nice piece of hardware that anyone here, would love to have at home.Basically a stripped down 737NG simulator is what you are looking at. :-)Underneath the throttle quadrant I found a small square Blue Box. It sits there out of anybodies view from within the cockpit.PMDG: what is that Blue Box for? Reference point? regardsTeeloo
