Now that SSD's are at a good value, Should I just use one 1Tb SSD or 512 Gb on C: drive for everything, OS, FSXE and all add on's, aircraft, scenery etc., and not bother with using any other drive for storage.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think this product should be $12 million...

Hey guys, i bought the 777 yesterday and i got a problem when i try to load a flight with it i p3d. I can see the cockpit for a few seconds and the p3d closes without a comment. - <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> - <System> <Provider Name="Application Error" /> <EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID> <Level>2</Level> <Task>100</Task> <Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2016-03-06T11:07:02.408911200Z" /> <EventRecordID>1710</EventRecordID> <Channel>Application</Channel> <Computer>DE…

I've been looking for a sun quite a long time. The best one I found was lying in a Kyle's video "PMDG 777LR/F - Freighter Tips and Tricks", however he can't remeber where he found it, more specifically, that's what he replied: I went to that channel, but I wasn't able to find any sun-releated stuff So, maybe someone in here can finally enlighten me. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

KLAX ILS APPROACH 24L is not in KLAX.txt which is in SIDSTARS folder. I have reported this issue to Navigraph. This post is for informational purposes only.

Dear all, I am using a home cockpit powered by EPIC modules. EPIC is a controller which, among other things, is able to send keyboard commands to a computer. I have set up my PMDG (744 for FS2004) keyboard commands for the MCP accordingly. When I send an input to FS (i.e. I turn a knob on my MCP hardware and EPIC sends the corresponding combination of keys to my PC), FS freezes. Note: It freezes, it does not crash. I am able to unfreeze FS by changing from the full screen mode into the windowed mode. Am I the first user to experience this? Best regards, Holger

Captains, Two weeks ago I brought you an in depth preview of the attention to detailing encompassed in the virtual cockpit of the upcoming PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II. Thank you for all the discussion and compliments- we have appreciated them! The product is moving ever closer to beta testing, which of course is just doubling to seasonal pre-christmas torture on our beta testing team. They are just itching to get their hands on the product and we are very close to letting them do just that! Today I have an unusual middle-of-the-day update for you! (Normally I seem to be making my updates around 2a for some reason... hmmmm...) For the image cycle thi…

Hi does someone has any idea if theese airplanes will, be soon in xplane.... Thanks Luis

Dear all, does anybody know a list of keyboard commands for the PMDG aircraft that does not conflict with FS or Windows shortcuts and that I can copy from somewhere? Best, Holger

For those of you who have access to the Australian Aviation magazine, there's a very interesting and informative story on the Qantas 747 carrying the 5th engine pod in this month's edition.

Captains- A few moments ago I updated the distribution system with the latest updates to the PMDG 777-200LR/F and PMDG 777-300ER for the FSX, FSX-SE and P3D platforms. These updates fall under the guise of our Continuing Development Program (CDP) for the 777 product line, and bring you a few dozen mostly minor changes and fixes. (The change log is listed below.) Also- I want to address some items related to a memory leak we killed in the 777- but I am going to do that under a different header since it is a very detailed topic... Updating to the latest version is simple and relatively painless: PMDG eCommerce Customers: If you purchased from PMDG, log-…

Hello, does anyone know if a free CDU repeater for the NGX's (737/777) exists? I found one for android devices, it only works on same devices, but not on the tablet I wish to use. Why free? Because $10 after $10 im reaching thousands ... Thank you! Marco Del Ruvo

Hello Captains Anyone interested? Pictures here: http://www.airswitzerland-va.ch/Operations/IronMaiden/ Greetings Beat

I was using prepar3d v3.1 and moved back to v2.5 because the pmdg 777 would always get errors over long flights and when I used v2.5 it worked better. Question is I installed v2.5 and it won't show the 737 or the 777 installed in the Operations Center Peter Smeal

Just heard United is planning to retire the last of their 747s by early 2018. Delta is retiring theirs by 2017. Sad to think that we will no longer see 747s in passenger service here in the US. On the bright side though, United is planning to keep their 767s in service for the foreseeable future. (Still have my fingers crossed for a PMDG 767.) Anyways, I think I'm going to start saving up for a ticket on that last flight whenever it may be.

Can anyone from PMDG or even members of the community comment on whether PMDG plan on making more versions of the fantastic 777 and 737NGX. Boeing are releasing the 737Max and newer versions of the 777. Do PMDG plan on expanding the 737 and 777 product lines in the future?

I am ready to pull the trigger on a hefty new rig for the first time in 11 years that includes a ton of flying the PMDG 747-400 in FS2004. However, before I do so, I want to check, is the PMDG 747-400 V2 that was in Alpha state in November going to be compatible with P3D V3.0 when it is released? I can't imagine a sim life without the 747 so wanted to ask here. Appreciate any replies, many thanks. Jonathan Sacks McLean, VA

hello, trying to setup spad.next and fsx (retail disks) with sp2. I get the following error in spad.next when running the configuration wizard (see pic); Is the sp2 referring to the fsx program or the version of the planes? I cannot find versions of the planes that are sp2, so I assume it is referring to the fsx program. any suggestions on how to get this going? running windows 10 on a i7 4770k with 16gb and a ati r390 8gb.

I'm seriously considering purchase of the IFLY version now that the fps has been sorted. I would sooner wait for the PMDG version but I have read no information at all, as to when It's liable to surface? It was said to be in beta months ago and yet, no progress has happened. Are you guys waiting for Christmas or something?

Dear PMDG, Do you have a means of contacting you privately for a business enquiry? If yes, can you kindly provide info here or via PM? I am posting here using my personal forum account since the "contact us" page on your site doesn't include any email addresses and points to here.

Very cool wonder where to find the model kit and to what price. :wub: Must have been totally home made from scratch. Like a wife said to a newspaper here in Sweden in an article about a RC event with very big planes: "Men never grow up only the price tag of their toys goes up every year."

Hi, I am using GSX, but is there anyway of gaining dual operation (and tri operation once the 747 arrives) of air bridges at airports such as DXB. I've seen at aerosoft airports they can be operated by AES. I've also seen SODE, however I believe that the airport needs to be SODE compatible? (Like ATL) Also I've seen people have mixed reviews about SODE and the installation seems extensive to say the least. So is there a way to gain dual/tri operation? Thanks Joe

I downloaded a "AIRAC 1602 cycle file" for "Pointsoft Pro ATC X". I noticed their was one for "PMDG (all products)". Do know if it should be run in my PMDG directory? Bob Dee
