I tried a couple flights in the PMDG 737-700 since receiving my registration code for FS Flightkeeper, and have 1 problem.....When I climb through FL180, I click the button to revert the altimeter to STD, and revert it to actual pressure (and update it) when descending through FL180, precisely as I'm supposed to. However, FSFK keeps dinging me for having an incorrect altimeter setting (8 x 10% penalties) so my pilot rating in my regular logbook is pretty bad.I'm pretty sure it's not changing pressures when I'm below FL180, because I correct the alimeter setting immediately every time FSFK shows the "pressure change" message.Any tips on how to manage the altimeter setting…

Hello,The wind direction and speed in the ND is not always there.Sometime it's there, mostly not.Is that a bug? Or is this because of the WX of FS2004?I use Ivap and am also wondering who is in control of the weather.regardsTeeloo

:-sun1 HI` everyone Im new to avsim but old to flying....

It is becoming very frustrating and there seems to be no apparent solution to this.Description:Performing all necessary proc from cold&dark, taking off and then after some time the engines shut down. Performing a in flight restart only helps for about 5 minutes or so, then another shut down.Things I have tried:1. Not using the default sit.2. Staring up with Cessna, then switch to PMDG 737-700.3. Saving sit. that seem to work and start from there.4. Deleting FS9.CFG5. Search for .STE files and deleting them (Found none!)6. Reinstall of PMDGAC Configurations I,ve tried:1. APU Inflight2. Anti-Ice on/off3. Cycling X-feed valve4. No fuel center tank upon start up.Observat…

Hi,I just wanted to know how it is possible to enable the KBD Mode in the FMC via a keyboard shortcut. After the last update from PMDG its now possible to assign shortcuts to the menu keys from the FMC, but i also need an assignment for the KBD Mode, that i can finish my external FMC project. Please, can any programmer of the PMDG help me. I ONLY need this major key to let my dream come true.I am sure that this is no problem for the programmers and take only seconds to help me.........thanksgreetingsMark

There are 2 choices for EFIS display types in the PMDG drop down menu:The first type says: PFD/NDThe second type says: EFIS/MAPWhen selecting BARO on my EFIS display, a green indicator displaying the word "BARO" and the value I dial in appears on my PFD when I select PFD/ND in the styles menuHOWEVER!!!! ---If I once again select BARO on my EFIS display, the same green indicator displaying the word "BARO" and the value I dial in DOES NOT appear if I select EFIS/MAP in the afore mentioned stlyes menu.Is this a bug? I can always get RADIO to display its dialed in value in green on my PFD regardless of which type of EFIS display type I select in the drop down menu. But I ca…

flight with the cessna and turn the engines off. I've also read in other places not too and start with cold and dark situation that came with the aircraft, so whats the real scoop on this?

Paul, the Url you sent did not work. By the time I did get through it had expired, which is odd since I was watching for it pretty close. Can I please get the product I paid for? If you're still having problems with the server could you please let me know that. I am patient, I just don't want to feel like I'm being ignored.Thanks.;(

Hi,Went to PMDG's site to download a Sterling livery for the 738 and was a bit surprised when I couldn't find one. Any plans for that livery or maybe you're all too busy painting the Queen right now...;-)

I am a big fan, with the B1900 & 737 series. I sorely need a PMDG commuter jet, preferably a CRJ in United Express colors! Please do consider!Noel

I have a Pentium 4 2ghz with 512ddr ram and A G-Force FX5700LE 256mb. Are these specs good enough to run fs and pmdg software on high resolution? An early reply will be greatly appreciatedThanksIvor

Hello.I've got a question about the Overhead Panel. Is ot possible to set some Key Commands in the Overhead?So I mean: When I'm pressing the SIFT+A buttun on my Keyboard than then the APU will start or arther things?I'm asking this because I'm building a real Overhead Panel and I want to use Key Commands to let it work!It's no problem for me if I need to change someting in .INI files.Thank you!Daniel Rosh.

after installing fs2crew and starting the pmdg cold and dark i get no 24 Volt DC in the plane after starting the bat switch?? what has happend?? the other electrical currents are displayed at the right value??

First i would like to say greetings to all of you since this is my first post.I would like to make a Pantjob of Jat Airways 737,just dont know how?In the FAQ, it tells me to download two files (zip) which contain the 600 and 700 , 737.The files are in tga. and psd. format!Which program do I need so i can paint :) (lame question, but i just dont know)Regards.

{Note: I've just posted a message on Thomas Molitor's Support Forum, but thought it might be no harm to ask here, too, since I'm aware a number of PMDG users also use this very interesting program. Nevertheless, if it's felt these questions are best left to that forum, I will understand.}I've just been setting up Flight Keeper with the 737-700NG and am having some teething problems:1. I can't find the sound files for the Cockpit Sound Environment, despite having done a full install(ie, there are no files in the Sound folder). 2. When I bring up the ACARS device, I get the message **** Waiting for Connection **** and it never gets beyond this point? Is this…

Do you fly with or without atc just curious? I can't see how you can fly with charts and fs9 atc. Will radar contact 4 be the answer?Sorry for the newbie like questions but i'm trying to learn to fly more professionaly with the pmdg and fs9.

Can someone please tell me EXACTLY how and WHEN I am supposed to set the Decision height in the 737. I can't seem to figure out how to rotate the knob. Also, does is show up on the PFD below when I get it dialed in correctly. Also, WHEN do I use radio altimeter, and finally, is the value of the radio altimeter supposed to be the DH minus the TDZE height? Thanks a bunch! Chris Catalano

Hello,What I find slightly disappointing with the PMDG 737 is the spoolup sound on a take-off roll.I have been in a 744 cockpit on take-off a few times (real plane)and what is so very typical on the engine sound on the flightdeck is that there are loud and soft ranges of the engine.On taxi you hardly hear them (apart from a very clear distant high freq whining), but when they spool up it becomes louder.Most significant is on take-off. Especially with a "pre-spool-up", the engines become 'alive' and are very loud on the initial spool-up. I am not sure on the rpm ranges there but at a certain point (about 80%?) the engine sound becomes softer and softer and the typical fan-…

I never knew this button only works with an add on only, any suggestions?

ordered 737 twice as a matter of fact because of an error message. linked to the download url to start download process. got a "downloadnow.zip is starting" message. several minutes passed then a message "compressed(zipped)folger is invalid or corrupted" please help. Order #'s 29867 29868 both were tried and both failed.Jim

HiI've just bought the 737ng. and to help me along I downloaded Fred Clausen's Flight tutorial for the 700s .My problem is I can't activate the LNAV and VNAV buttons, if i mayI will quote part of the tutorial At 50ft radar alt retract gear-------------okfollow the pitch and roll bars on your PFD-----okAt 1000ft radar alt engage autopilot--------okPress LNAV and VNAV --------not okThey will not engage ?I have painstakingly followed the tutorial but I must be missingsomething. O I must say that out of 4 or 5 attempts they engaged oncebut I dont know what I did I went on to have a great flight on that ocassion can anyone help me please?.YoursBuff

No, not double written...I was working through all the failures that PMDG737 has build into it, now that I am rather confident that I can fly the 737NG by the basics.But some of the failures do not seems to work.Most of them are 'just' lights going on (glogged fuel filter: bypass light going on)However, the hydraulic failure list, doesn't seem to work.Failing both the eng driven as well as the elec drive hyd pumps of one of both systems or even all systems doesn't give an hydraulic problem.Is this known or a problem on my side only? (I tried it with the 800 version)Birdhit: what is suppost to happen?... all depends on where it hits right? but is there any effect to it?All…

Hi PMDG, I own your 737-6-7 but I am thinking of buying the 737-6-7 and the 737-8-9 cd version. I wonder if you could refund me for my purchase with you in order to get both cd versions?Thanks,Dave
