PMDG General Forum

...or any other plane.Hi,I don't really want to comment on the developement of the PMDG 747.What I'd like to ask is (the real question is all the way at the end):Since you guys are about the best developers around in the sim world I'd like to address this question to you.Some software developers tried to approach it but really never got there: airline cost calculations, maintenance simulation on planes.I believe a lot of simulator enthousiasts, including me, not the screemers "when is that PMDG747 released", but the serious ones would love an addon, or rather a plane by itself, that ages!Of course I think you could start a new developement team to brainstorm on what to si…

I know you guys are hard at work with the 744, but any chance of seeing a winglet version?http://www.alaskasworld.com/news/2004/11/02_Winglets.asphttp://www.aviationpartnersboeing.com/news..._Air_110204.jpgBrian

I have just loaded all the latest Navdat/SID/Stars. I started to put a plan into the FMC Route page. Dep EGBB Arr EGJJ, and the fmc displayed 'EGJJ err: REDNO unknown'. I have flown this route lots of times before with no problems.Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi chaps, sfter reinstalling (and actually before reinstalling)the autop throttle on my ANZ 737-700 will not work! All the other doo (600-900) but only on this one! Its the one i fly the most!I move the swith to "on" then it just clicks back to "off" again!I cant use the auto pilot fully while this is happening!Any suggestions?RegardsDoug:-zhelp

Well, No answers yet.maybe it helps if I'm a little more specific.Reading Peter Dowson published FSUIPC offsets. There's a way to control the use of autobrakes using offset 0x2F80.But as I'm well aware, PMDG uses a lot of functions that are not default MSFS. Maybe this is also the case with autobrakes.Does anyone know if this is so?

If I use the function reset from the flight simulator menu or reload a saved flight while flying my 737 doesn't work as it should.On the next takeoff the power goes down to about 60% N1 as soon as I rotate the plane, and I almost crash back into the ground. But this happens only after using the reset function or loading a flight while currently flying. The first flight after starting the simulator always works perfectly!

As we all know, ATC both in real life and in FS will almost always vector us to final approach several miles away from the airport, causing us to not fly to the last few waypoints in our flight plan and what is programmed in the FMC (737NG). So, how come the FMC fails to update the remaining distance to go once you disconnect LNAV and start flying the vectors to final? Example: You are filed KATL-SOONE-AMG-DINNS-KJAX but then at AMG you start getting vectors and dont fly on LNAV to DINNS. So the distance to the destination airport on the progress page now stops updating, and in many times will increase it's distance because I suppose it is calculating the distance from th…

I follow the start up procedure, but as soon as I start the first engine the following happens:-I get low pressure indication in the hydraulics pumps-The same happens with all the fuel pumps-The yaw damper goes off and I can't turn it back to on-I also get a battery discharge alert and a TR fail signal (below theAC amps)In spite of that, I can start the second engine and fly the plane.Switching the fuel pumps off doesn't stop the engines.What I am doing wrong ?Thank you for your supportJose I.

Since i start from cold & dark i have been unable to do pushback SHFt + p has anybody any ideas around this I also notice i cant bring up SHFT + z as now again i like to check on my frame rates. Any One that can help.............regards robin

Is anyone using these three products together? I have the first two, and am thinking of buying FOC - but no very little about the program.What does it add in terms of capabilities that FSBuild and FS Navigator don't have?ricardo

I checked esscoaircraft.com, and all I could find was non NG stuff. Anyone know where I can get a 737 NG manual cheap (~$50)? Thanks.Regards,Carl

I have just purchased PMDG 7373 NG 600/700.. installed same and am trying to get my first flight going. when I access the FMC by click on the F .. I get the FMC coming up but am not getting any response when I click on the LSK.. either left or right...is there another 'switch' to activate the FMC or is there something in the engine start process that makes the FMC come to life?Listening for a reply..EDDIE HAYNES

Hi,I'm unable to see the upper part of the Throttle Quadrant, in particular, the speed-brake lever. It requires arming prior to landing and in the dark cockpit I can't see it. Is there a switch somewhere on the O/H panel that I'm missing?Thanks, in advance...Ron - CYEG

Hello,I encountered a strange problem while using ADVdisplay together with PMDG 737NG aircraft.When turning the landing lights ON, the ADVdisplay goes blank. Turning landing lights OFF again, the text comes back.Somebody any ideas or work-arounds?Juul Tango,Hasselt, Belgium.

hi everyoneI have a question pleaseI dont understand, since 2 days(i hadn t this message before), on the FMC there is on the page "route" this message DATALINK : NO COMM What does mean DATALINK NO COMMIs it normalThank in advanceOlivierSorry for my english

I almost always just fly by hand take-off and finals, but I wanted to know how I could program the CDU/FMC to follow a DP procedure as it's stated in the chart.The Buckeye One DP from KPHX states climb out of runway 25R/25L/26 to 1550 feet then climbing turn left heading 240, at 13 DME (west) from PXK VORTAC climbing turn right heading 280 and procede to BXK, bla bla bla.How can this be entered into the CDU so the F/D and AP would follow it?

since last use have lost engine sound on 737. all other a/c in fs9 have sound. can u help

This is probably a stupid question, with a simply-stupid answer, but in the virtual cabin of this new pmdg 747, how are you going to be able to go to the lower deck?The flight deck is on the 'upstairs' and i presume the internal pilot in active camera will start their, but in active camera, as far as I know (and i will be happily corrected), you can't go up or down - only look up or down.so how are the issue of stairs tackled?Sorry for this stupid question

Well, you know wat I mean. ;)Vin promised us some news within days.So Vin, tell us??? :(It's not to over-rush something, but it's along time since the latest news update.And some new screenies can't heart anybody, isn't???THanks,

Are there any more aircraft planned for the express series? It would be nice to see a few more regional prop or jet aircraft in the series.

Hey guys,I love it when you find something new by accident, then makes your life a lot smoother! Love the range rings around a destination, are they supposed to be used for that ?!Thanks again for the NG !!!!Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.comhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/103057.jpg

I recently purchased and installed an ATI x800 Pro. When flying the 700 (have not tried other PMDG variations), some of the grahics in the 2D panels disappear after flying for awhile (after about an hour or more).More specifically...1) all the digital readouts go blank/black2) the pop-up screen icons dissapear (M Z R etc.) but the click spots are still clickable.3) various small pamel gauges disappear or are highlighted.If I switch between views and return to the 2D panel, it returns to normal for awhile and then begins to go bad again.I am using "all" the newest updates and drivers for all my software and hardware. The only thing I have changed is the video card. I had a…

Hi All,I have just downloaded the 737-800/900 add on. After running the installer I am getting the error message that I have to download the 600/700 package before I can install the 800/900. I have already installed the 600 package so do I keep getting this error message. After the message the installation ends.If anyone has any ideas on this I would be grateful for some help.Thanks,Alan
