PMDG General Forum

Hello All,Is there any way in the FMC to get the estimated time to a waypoint ("time to go" displayed as a duration) rather than the ETA (z clock time). I constantly find that I am looking to see how many minutes (or hours & minutes) I am to a waypoint, to T/D and to the destination. The way the FMC displayes the time makes me have to figure out what the current UTC time is and then manually subtract the difference for each point.There's got to be a better way. Is z time ETA the only option?Thanks,Jason

Hey Guys,My old workhorse decided to die on me last week, just as I lined up on Rwy 7 at YSSY as QFA583 to Perth in none-other-than the PMDG 737-800. Was pretty shattered as I looked like getting away on time!Anyways, I'm in the market for a new system and I was hoping to get your opinions on the following.I bought my last box from Ebay and it was hassle-free, so I'm going that option again. Always look for reputable buyers and have done a fair amount of shopping there, so I know what to buy and what not to, or more importantly - who to buy from!Option 1.Item: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Computer System Description: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor Gigabyte 8VM800M Motherboard …

Could anyone let me know the proper way to install PMDG? I have MSFS9.1. After I downloaded and extracted it does not appear to place the folders in their proper location and refuses to load...causing a program crash every time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I was wondering if someone is interested in making procedures for Banjul, Ghambia, Africa????I just got the charts from Koen at the flightplan forum and with permission of Koen I may distribute the chart over PM.If someone is interested in making those procedures, then I make sure you get the charts. I am hurrible at making procedures for PMDG. And if you want to know, there only 7 charts and they include no SID or STARS only IAPs and two of those charts are general info.So, if someone is interested, let me know please.THank you.EDIT: IF someone is interested in making these proc. then I would request the full procedures like: TURN LEFT/RIGHT DIRECT or all the constr…

I recently assembled a new computer with all the latest hardware on the market. I was expecting to get increased fps with my system but instead the FPS went WAY down from my old system.Here are my system specs:Asus P5AD2 Deluxe motherboard with i925X chipsetPentium 4 LGA775 Processor @ 3,4GHz1GB of 533MHz DDR2 RAMAsus Radeon X800XT 256mb graphics card in PCI Express bus.What I've heard from many with a similar configuration is that they get over 50fps even with the 747NG, but in 737NG I get only 5-9fps, REGARDLESS of what my display settings and resolution is.ALSO the PMDG AIRAC Database loader is VERY much slower than it was on my old computer.I've also noticed that my n…

Hello!Is there any chance that PMDG works together with Reality XP to add a weather radar on the 737NG as in the 727 project of DreamFleet?Thanks

Hi,.Just landed at KPDX visibility was 1/4mi. Overcast below 200.So I set up for autoland procedures and everything seems OK. Switching to APPR when on the glidescope. Then at about 500ft I realize that I

Hello,Since Iinstalled IVAP (the new IVAO program to fly online) I've experienced some problems with my PMDG! Whenever I take off with my PMDG I get a message after 80kts "CG not with tolerance, aircraft unflyable"They told me that this has to do something with the balance of my aircraft! But when I fly with the PMDG on fs (not onine with IVAP) I don't have this problem! Today I did some tests to see if it's reallly IVAp...I first did take off with a certain load (from the loadmanager) and 70% fuel. No prolems!! Then I connected to IVAP and did the smae take off with the same fuel and loads...after 80kts I got an Engine failure...I did the take off again and yes, I got th…

Hi EveryBody !Is there a demo version of 737NG ,so that I could try how thing it is or is it going to worth for it to buy, before I buy ?I searched the WEB site but found nothing !Best Regards ,

Hi I have recently purchased Build 2.1 and am completely confused as to how I Export a flight plan to my 737 NG FMC. My system uses Windows XP and I have FS9. A step by step tuition would be appreciated. My aircraft include the 800 and 900 series. Before you ask, I have been on the Build 2.1 forum site and have had no takers! Thanks Marty

I recently bought the product from a Sim hobby shop in Schiphol, Amsterdam Holland. This PDMG product is marketed by aerosoft.de.They advised me to contact this support forum.Problem:When autoplay starts the install wizzard, I click on install 737-600. Within a second or two, a message appears: PMDG 737-600/700 service update 1-3 has encountered a problem and needs to close..... Please tell MS about this problem.This happens when trying from both by DVD/CD drives. However, the same CD istalls perfectly on my laptop.Both machines have FS9 original installed (no CD-patch), FSUPIC (fully licenced version) installed etc.. they even have the same OS: WIM XP Pro (in English). B…

I have FL320 programmed into the FMC as the cruise level. During climb ATC asks me to level off at FL280 so I select 28000 in the altitude select panel, and the a/c levels at FL280. I am then asked to continue my climb to FL320, I reselect 32000 in the altitude select panel but the airplane just sits there at FL280 ? I'm in VNAV by the way.What am I doing wrong please.Glen Coyne

Hey Guys,Some of you may have noticed this preview in the Library yesterday.Certainly looks like an interesting product.Check out for more details.Although it is in no way endorsed by PMDG - what do you guys (the developers) and associated beta team think of the product?Would also like to know what other people think.Cheers,Jeremy Soulsby.

Hi guys 2 questions one is how do i purchase the 737 and my 2 nd question is should I buy both right away (NG and 800 series)?

Hi AllBought the PMDG beech, Fantastic work,Wondering if a Metro 23 might be in the line?, A Great aircraft many operator's,Cheers

I really like the new website.The only problem is this. I am a long time user, but the 737 NG (all of them) and the 1900D are not showing up in the View Previous Orders section. I am guessing that this will show everything that I buy AFTER 747?I havn't been on my computer much in the last 3 months, a lot of stuff has been going on in my life. So I am back on here just trying to get my mind off of stuff.Anyway,Thanks for such awsome software for MSFSDavid

Is there a way to save the data in the NG's FMC PERF INIT page so that if you practice a number of takeoffs and climbouts for a specific flightplan with LNVA+VNAV in the same a/c and from the same runway, you don't have to always go back and re-enter everything in the PERF INIT page?Jonathan

Hello PMDG,I visit your website everyday just to check if there are any updates on the 744. I see that the last time you updated the screenshots section is on the 7th of September, which is almost 2 months now... Is it possible for there to be updates very soon? We're errr.... Starving ;)Thanks,Robin Bilgilhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Hi all,I,ve had the B-1900 installed for several months now and it has performed flawlessly. Yesterday I bought and installed the Aerosoft A-10 Warthog and since then the B-1900 crashes to desktop as soon as the panel loads.The A-10 is working perfectly, as are all my other addon aicraft. I've re installed the B-1900 but still have the same problem.I don't know if the A-10 has caused the problem, but the two events did coincide.Does anyone have any suggestions ?Cheers, Mark.Pentium 4,2.4 ghz processorGigabyte 875P motherboard1gb RAMNVIDIA GeForce FX5600 128 mb graphics processorXP PRO

Hi,My beloved B1900 has lost some of it's lights...namely beacon , strobe, and nav. Tried everything I could think of to get them to come back on.... No luckAny ideas? I already have my "hardware lights" set to "8"BTW. I downloaded and intalled the 1.1 update after trying to fix the lights and it hammered my FS9. Freezes up on loading FS9.... I restored to an earlier date and FS9 still wouldn't work.. Had to re-install..I think it was hung on a gauge issue or something to do with "bendix king radio.gau"...Anyone seen that?Thanks for any advice!!Jeff Stewart1.87 ghz 400fsb 1 gig matched ramATI 9200 8x agp with latest drivers2x160meg sata drivesNo overclocking
