PMDG General Forum

Hello,I have just re-installed my MSFS together with the PMDG 737NG 600-700 and the 800-900. The problem is that all displays are blank including the autopilot displays, in both 2D and VC everything is just blank! I am using the latest product versions, FS 9.1, "cold&dark" started PMDG and all but no result. Please help!

I'm reading about it in the manual but would like step by step?

hello,when i try to push the F10 key for the fmc in lbd mode my FS goes to a pause mode. Did anyone know a solution fot the problem?a request to the programmers:is it possible from your side to programm a shortcut for the F10 key, as for the KBD enable mode, after you have released the PMDG 747, that would be great. You managed to program many shortcuts for the fmc menu keys, so please do it fot the rest of it also :-) The most needed are: Enable/disable kbd mode (like with scollkey), F10 key and the special caracter +/-.That would be great and will push the 737 to the next higher level ;-) in my FS cockpit.can you please respond if you are able to program this, please.ma…

Maybe I missed something but do the cockpit lights suppose to turn on auto. If so, is there a way to deactivate it. I noticed that my cockpit lights turn on without me hitting the switch. I turn them off and a while later thier on again.Bill M

As a new user of the -600/700 and now the 800/900, I am very pleased with the NG series. I have lately started to have problems with arming the autothrottle, it just won't work. I have maybe 35 hours with it working perfectly and now i cannot get it turned on, no matter what mode I am in. Any ideas?GB

Hi Guy's,can I please direct you to this thread, http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho..._id=10149&page=the reason for this is, I have just done a series of tests, I have re-started FS9 in between each test, so as to re-set the sim,and any memory for the flight so to speak.I have flown the default 747/737, the Project Fokker F70/100, and all the PSS Planes,A330/340/Concorde/Vulcan/Dash8, and so far I haven't had this same problem, but as soon as I fire up the PMDG737-900 it happens again, it varies between more or less straight away to a couple of Min's into the take-off or climb out.let me make it crystal clear right now, I AM NOT putting any blame for this at t…

hi, every time i fly the pmdg i make it to my destination airport, then when i am taxiing to the terminal i hear the windows 'ding' then all of the overhead buttons go missing 'file, edit, help etc.' except for modules and pmdg. I cannot exit fs9 after this happens, i just get the windows 'ding' and i cannot do ctrl alt delete either; i get the ding for that aswell. The fs9 update doesnt help.Help!__Alex

Hey everyone !! i dont know if this is the right forum to ask this in but you people are after all doing the 744 so maybe u have a clue about what this might be :(.On some pics on airliners.net ive seen a 5 contrail coming out from the 744 on some pics ive never understood if its the APU or if it is fifth contrail courtesy of the galley and toilet sinks draining out via the rear mast drain. If someone could clear this up for me i would be very very happy becuse it has been bugging me for very long.Could it be they use it only during decent?? for air conditioning or something??. Also is this something only happening on the 744??.Here is some pics of what im talking about.…

Hi guys! I don't understand my problem can you help me please??I'm running a amd +3500 and lots of mem, however my 737ng takes forever to load and i can't install the liveries, just errors??

I posted earlier, but couldn't find it... I know this is something that has been talked about in the past and caused some contraversy. I love the PMDG NG and NEVER fly anything else. It is simply a gem. I did however read the the Ariane Sound sets are wonderful too, if you are willing to pay. I decided to give it a whirl, b/c I wanted to see what they were like. I have read in here that there are some people that use both together and think the combo is great. I tried to install, but all I get is a very "prop-like" sound. I put all of the sound files in the -700 sound folder, copied the .cfg file and overwrote everything. The sounds do not make sense. Anyone kno…

Does anyone have or know how to add a wing view to the B1900? What I want to do is look back and to the left or right from the cockpit and see the wings. I use the B1900 without the instrument panel by pressing the W key twice. Instruments are viewed on a second monitor using the pmRJ glass cockpit.Thanks,Richad

With the recent developments of blended winglets to be applied to the 736 and the new cockpit window design, is PMDG thinking down the road sometime, possibly with the BBJ update, to update these things.. or will the model be left as is...?http://m.domaindlx.com/PacificAir/sig_3_small.jpg

I downloaded this panel for cabin announcements, which works very well in the default planes. I tried to install it in the PMDG 737's in the same way as I installed it in the default planes, but it doesn't work. Can anyone give me some support?Thanks,Dirk

After studying the FMC manual and reading many posts here about how to prevent the dreaded FMC ding-dong when it's unable to follow a descent profile, I decided to see if I could silence the ding-dong.First I modded waypoint restrictions so as to not allow descent and decel on the same leg. In some cases a leg was split into 2 legs by adding in a waypoint fix about halfway between the original two so that the first half would be descent and the second would be decel. The FMC will not warn you when the waypoint restriction is unachievable until you get there. Ding dong and VNAV disconnect time.But I now see that if you put the MFD into map mode, zoom in, and use the step c…

Hello captains, I was curious to know if the PMDG 744 is even in beta testing yet? I was just curious, because there has been no updates for two months, no pictures or anything. Thanks. Scott

If you don't know what i'm talking about, its on the left side of autobrake and below the speed ref.

It seems that the light 'spoiler armed' stays on even after i retract it.

Hello some one want to guide me on FMC prep and autoland prep and ill be all set. Please people thanks :) David S

Hi,When im trying to install PMDG it stalls/crashes when its installingLucon.ttf it says something like "Skipping file: ../../Lucon.ttf"or Copying file: lucon.ttf... after that - no response at all...please let me know why is that happening...Thanks

Is there any keyboard shortcuts for new released PMDG 737-800? It gets very very messy to click those switches with mouse only. Please HELP!!

When i know I have enough fuel and more than my reserve shows? Anyone else?

Hi guysjust bought the NG 600/700 last weekend. Just outstanding.Been reading all the forum and manuals like a page turner novel...I even might get divorced or fired since it is the only thing I am motivated to do at the moment....I am still struggling with the MCP/FMC interaction but that is part of the learning fun. I have read about THE BUG and that it affects VNAV but been unable to locate something specific (what it is and how to go over the problem)Could you point me to someplacethksDiego

Hey there, I'm using the 737-800 in particular, and there are two issues I'd like to get to the bottom to. The first and foremost is the failure of the V-Takeoff speeds to populate when I click them, and the second is on the 'climb' page, where the 'spd restraint' displays: 307/FLAPS... what does this mean, and how can I alter it? Simply entering into the scratchpad and trying to change it does not work, and to be honest all the climb speeds seem too high for the 737-800; sometimes 337 knots or more... I have used the aircraft for some months now, so know all the basics included in the documentation and fly regularly, so could anyone offer suggestions as to what I may …
