PMDG General Forum

Hi All other aircrafts sound is OK except PMDG and FS2CREW that used to work but today no sound at allAny idea how to begin resolving it ?Many thanks for those who will help meMoshe

After many happy months flying in fs2002 prof I decided to go for 2004.Before I bought it i was aware that the 9.1 patch was available and have downloaded the patch.I am however concerned that the patch will do more harm than good.What is the general concensus, is it really worth it, or should I live without a 180 or so bridges and a few fixes?I should add that I have several add on's (PMDG, PSS A340/Dash8, Ultimate traffic UK airports and world airports) i have concerns that some of these may no longer work.I have a reasonable spec system P4 and Nvadia graphics cardThanks in advancePaul

Only get poor lighting as per attached image.Is there better lighting available? I cannot find ny other lighting.TIA

Is the "V/S" reading in this screen the suggested or required V/S that is needed to intercept the vertical descent profile accurately rather than the actual current VS? If I am deviating BELOW the descent profile, for e.g., I observe that the V/S in this screen reflects a lesser VS than that on the PFD. Appreciate clarification, thanks.Jonathan

Hi all,what is probably suddently change in my FS9 and maybe my 737-700 PMDG aircraft since i cannot call up my pop up view using short cut by pressing shift 1 ...shift 9, when i press one of it example shift 9 for my weather radar , nothing appears and even shift 2, 3 for all default pop up in 737NG,i check in my panel.cfg, nothing changed there, all as in default conditions. it happened in all my aircraft. also i'm realised during flying when i press Esc, i don't have the icon show either end flight or continue flying .anybody can helpRegards,Shaheedanoil town,Malaysia

Hi all.. Just a little question here. whenever I startup my engines on any of the 737

I've noticed that the time taken from opening the engine start valve, flipping the fuel cutoff switch, to the engine reaching ground idle speed in all of my FS aircraft is very short indeed. Real aircraft take much longer to get the engines up and running.Is this problem inherent to MS Flight Simulator or is there anything PMDG can do to program in a more realistic (longer) spool up time?

Hi I was thinking about getting a touch screen monitor for christmas the main reason for that was for flightsim (PMDG to be specific) I was wondering if the FMC was un-dockable so I could display it on the touch monitor would that work? I have the whole 737NG fleet incase the upgrade to the 800/900 made a difference at all. Thanks a lot in advance. anyone with a touch screen that can recomend a good one? Thanks in advanceTyler

Thought it'd be fun to have a very short quiz......1) What does the word 'Lufthansa' literally mean?2) How much is the PMDG 744 going to rock?DavidI will post answers in a few days

Hi All,First of all, what a great aircraft add-on this is. Fantastic.I know there is an add-on out at the moment which gives cabin announcements but this is i believe only for the 800/900.Is there any programs that give cabin crew announcments for the 600/700?thanks Mike

Hi all,Does anyone know where i can find this? Is it any good & does it come with sounds?I have located a modification file for the above so taht it works with the pmdg 737 but i cant find the main file that is needed.ThanksMike

I am getting increasingly concerned about what kind of sim experience I will have with the forthcoming Queen. The 737NG runs pretty well at this point on my P4 in 2D, but if I run it in the VC, frames are chopped significantly (30% to 40%), especially at lower altitudes with just default MSFS scenery around and a ton of Ultimate Traffic (75%). I just did an FMC flight in the 2D-only cockpit of the NG and it was respectably fluid (my cap is 22 fps). Anyway, seeing that the Queen is obviously going to have everything programmed into it under the sun, and observing that emphasis is being placed on using the Queen's VC rather than the 2D view, I wanted to ask in advance wh…

Ho there as someoene who is eagerly looking forward to the MD-11 u guys are producing I wanted to know if the MD-11 has a fly-by-wire system and if so how difficult will that be to model within the FS9 environment?

PMDG team,Seems I am not the only one that has developed a huge memory issue with the PMDG NG post FS9 patch. See this thread:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchI have already done through testing on my system and there is no errant landclass files anywhere. If you read my post on the thread I have refrenced, you can see that something is amiss somewhere...I just don't know where. If I was the only one having these problems, I would not have said anything but two others have similar issues since installing the 9.1 patch. I have XP SP2 and Direct X 9.0c as well. The only thing I can think of is the PMDGoptions.dll? Any thoughts from the team on thi…

Hello all,When I fly onlin I can't see the traffic in my PMDG!!! When i fly offline I do see them but the traffic online, I can't see them in the PMDG cockpit (only in the TCAs of IVAP)Does this has to do something with my FSUIPC? In the configuration of IVAp I saw something about traffic and FSUIPC but I don't know what this is...could someone tell me how can i configurate my fs that I can see the traffic on my TCAS of PMDG online?greetz

Greetings,I really enjoy flying the Beech in the vc. I was looking for the pitot heat switch (vc) and cannot locate it. I know its in the 2d panel, but I don't like to switch back and forth. I looked at the panel cfg's and do see the pitot sw gauge in the vc section. Is there something I can do to get it to become visible and possibly adding the light switches to the vc?Thanks,Rex

G'day all,I've searched but can't locate any information regarding this subject.I've d/l the latest firmware for the MCP747, run the MCP747.exe file and selected FS2004 - started FS2004 and selected PMDG737NG and noted the screen message informing me that "MCP747 is active" but that's it.There doesn't appear to be a link between the MCP747 box and the PMDG737NG (although twiddling the knobs does change the display in the Go-Flight Auto-pilot Module!).Does anyone know what I've missed?Cheers........Doug

Painted this up for a friend. About to fly it over to him in SFO aka Avsim.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/99420.jpgGary HayesLevel-D Simulations Development TeamNo im not a "real" pilot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.P4 3.0ghz w/HT & FSB..GeForce FX 5900 ultra 256MB..1 gig PC3200 DDR RAM..Sound Blaster Audigy w/5.1 THX

Hello PMDG,Strange that I found this out now and not earlier. But thats about all the excitement, I guess.Anyway, wat I have found out is that there are no model screenshots from the RR and PW engines.Any comments on that??? :(

Hi all,This is probably a silly question, but I dont know too much about this function. Why do you need the VIA command when you can just enter any custom waypoint through the normal LEGS page, and make very specific route plans?Many thanks for the help!Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

Gentlemen,I am about to try my first online flight on Vatsim. I am wondering if AIBridge is necessary to see traffic in the onboard TCAS, not the Squawkbox TCAS, or not. Now I have it set to use FSUIPC in the dropdown menu.Thanks Steve

Hi Guys,Just noticed with the BMI Baby livery for the 600 that when I look back at the wing view (from the 2D cockpit only option) that the engine pods are not textured with any colour. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just a weird livery installation on my part?Edit: In spot view the livery is fine. Thanks,Glenn Harrall

Hi all, Just a quick and perhaps daft one....when I fire up my 800/900 B73 the PFD screen displays not just the art. horizon, but also the standby instruments as well (i think!) - is there a way of altering the config so that it will look like it did when using the 600/700?Cheers Folks!

Can anyone help please? I have all of the UK VFR sceneries and all of the British Airports loaded. It now takes me typically 15

Captains,I just saw a magnificent view of the Northerly Lights in Norway, which I never saw before in FS9.The flight was ENGM (Oslo-Norway) to EHAM (Schipol-Amsterdam-Netherlands). Take off time: 7:00 am, November 30, real weather.The sky was bright with yellow/blue/green lights and I almost lost the controls in such a beautiful spectacle...Should I know how to take a screen-shot (help, anyone?), I'd post it for you.Go up there and try it. We don't see much of this here in Brazil...BPilot
