Pure speculation on timeline deliveries going forward .... I like the Precision in PMDG and quality takes time ... although the timeline below may not align to previous PMDG statements concerning dev efforts or aircraft they will model ... 747 V2 Release Q3 2016 (July - September) 747-8I/F Expansion Package Q1 2017 (January - March) 777/-200/-300/200ER Expansion Package Q2 2017 (April - June) 737-800/900 NGX Update (revised textures to update this model to 777 and 747V2 standards) Q3 2017 (July - September) 737-600/700 NGX Update (revised textures to update this model to 777 and 747V2 standards) Q3 2017 (July - September) 787-8 Series Model Develop…

Firstly, thank you RSR for giving us another taste of the upcoming 747 v2. Having recently gotten the opportunity to sit in a real world 747-400 cockpit I am really looking forward (patiently) for its release! When I was looking at the newest previews I noticed that the 744 has the RR engines. Obviously so far with the 737 and current 777 models are limited to one engine choice by nature, while the 747 has three choices my question is if the 747-400 v2 will have GE and PW engines along with the shown RR ones? The reason I ask is because IMHO PMDG would by nature would not want to just offer a cosmetic change but model the sound and performance differences pro…

when i manually enter fuel my ZFW changes and flips about. For example the correct one will be 209.1 kgs which then changes to 180kgs or something like that. I get around this by entering another random fuel level so the corrcect ZFW comes back then I re enter the desired fuel from my flight plan. Has anyone noticed this behaviour? (P3D 3.1). If it helps I use a 777 startup panel state of '777 short' but with zero payload and 17% fuel saved

Hi, I have been following the PMDG forum for a couple of years now and this is my first post. I bought the 777 for FSX and loved it. I am planning to buy one for P3D in the near future. I have a few questions regarding the upcoming B747-8 v2. 1. While looking through some pictures of the B747-8 flight deck, I noticed that they have electronic flight bags. Will these be modeled (if only for the PMDG setup menus if not for the charts)? 2. I saw several liveries for the B747-8 on the PMDG website. Will these be included as well. Sorry if this has already been discussed. Thanks Michael Crichlow

Just thought I'd chip in... I owe every single PMDG product, except for the 777... Will the new 744 (and other new products for that matter) contain 2D panels, or will it also only be VC? Will be enormously sad if PMDG will now discontinue 2D panels on all their planes. I simply am not going to buy an incomplete product, not containing 2D panels... I even bought EZ Doc, and I've used it for an entire 10 minutes (after it messed up basically every single view and hot key assignment I use) - sad to say. The VC is not for me, sorry. - Chris.

Hey guys, slight dilemma here. My FSX:SE copy can no longer keep up with any scenery I use at any airport now, crashing with a memory error any time I get close to one. I would upgrade to P3D, but the upgrade price is ridiculous. I would have to pay $115 to re-buy the NGX for P3D (Which I already own), and then have to re-buy other things like A2A and then P3D v3 itself. The total upgrade price for me is over $400. I am absolutely not willing to spend that much for nothing new except a slightly better performing sim. My PC isn't the issue with the memory errors, it is extremely powerful custom build PC. Runs even the most taxing games at full graphics and runs 60+ fp…

I am looking to upgrade my system and need some input on video cards and cpu.

Hi, I am having a repeating problem with my aircraft in P3D mainly the NGX and aerosoft airbus, where I'm cruising at flight level and the speed slowly starts to bleed back, the autothrottles then move forward but the speed continues to bleed back. I checked my aircraft fully over, the gear, flaps and spoilers are up. Any ideas what maybe happening Joe

When it comes to optimal functionality and fps, does it matter if I install FSX sp2 or FSX Acceleration? brandon garcia

Hello Robert (and PMDG), so I was rummaging through my aviation geek teenage past and found this little old gem. I had to crack a smile. It dates back to when some here weren't even born. Cheers, I remember you got this file (don't remember if they had PDF's those days) and an .air file to replace with your favourite aircraft version "ON LINE"!!! One trip to the internet cafe and one (preferrably black) floppy disk later and I was in business. Do you still have these gems hidden away somewhere Robert? This is so funny. It makes you realize just how far Flight Simming has come! Congrats on your company Robert. I can see first hand how she's grown..... O…

Maybe I missed it, but do we need to manually install the current AIRAC file for the P3D version of the NGX? The FMS updater from Navigraph cant find my P3D version.

Hi, 4 days ago i opened a support ticket (billing/license issue) and still didn´t get a response. Don´t missunderstand me, by no means i´m complaining, i was just wondering if there was a problem with the support-ticket system. The only two tickets i opened time ago were answered even the same day, so i know that your support is pretty fast and efficient. Any help is greatly appreciated, Best regards, Lars Stahmann

Due to a change of job, early next year I will spend part of each week in another town. Overthere I will set up a pc to do (amongst other things) some flightsimming. This gives me 2 systems at different locations that I want to use my flightsim products on. Though I'd be a bit reluctant to buy dual licenses (it would feel very silly to do that... since I'd only use it at one location at the time), I want to do this "nice and right". So the question I have; I am a legit owner of the 737NGX, 777 and when it comes out; the 744, all for P3D. Am I allowed to install these aircraft on 2 different systems? Will this give me any issue with the activation? Thanks.

Well hello folks! Long time no type. I have been on quite a long layover let's just say. So much has changed and I see most certainly for the better! Very exciting products and love what I'm seeing. I recently built a fellow simmer a rig and got him P3d to go with his new toy for a Christmas gift. In my research it lead me to investigating what else had changed. Glad I did and continue to do so. P3d was just starting to be talked about (but barely) when I exited the runway. I feel like such a noob now, haha, but it too is exciting. I used to enjoy giving help to those with questions and now it's me with a few billion of my own. The fog is lifting from the field and I'm a…

Will it model LauncherOne? http://www.virgingalactic.com/satellite-launch/l1-operations/

Appologies if this topic has been answered already, but: will the 747v2 have any kind of improved or existing support for touch tablets being used to perform such functions as the FMC? this being able to be on a dedicated, touch capable device, would be a very nice capability. regards, peter belbin.

Hi folks, what would be the terms to night, based on this METAR for an ILS 22L and a takeoff 22R ? Please make a comment on your results :wink: EKCH 061520Z 14010KT 1100 R22L/P1500N R04L/P1500N R12/P1500N -DZ OVC002 11/11 Q1017 NOSIG Thanks apreciated alot Michael Moe

Hi all, I have just pushed my PMDG 747-400 in Qantas livery out of the hangar after a long period of it being in storage only to find that when I taxi, the nose wheel is turned almost fully to the starboard, making taxiing rather tricky. Anyone have any ideas as to the cause/solution? Thanks,

A few months ago i bought the pdmg 737 aircraft and i have to say thay i really enjoy it. I am still learning the sistems which from what i know are very realistic. In the case of the flight dynamics ive never seen people discusing about them, in my opinion the plane feels really smooth and behabe loggicaly. Since i am not a pilot or a 737 frequent flyer i cant provide a good answer to that, so what do you guys think, are the pdmg 737 flight dynamics accurate? Sorry for my bad english Thanks Ricardo

It's not 100% about the T7, just wanna make sure before I do any updates: I am planning on updated from w7 to w10 but I'm in fear of losing fsx and all my PMDG from B738/9 to the B77LR/ER and I don't wanna go through the whole process of re-installing everything. If I make the change will fsx and all my softwares be erased and is the pmdg 777 comparable with w10?

My Sim consists of 3 PCs, each running Windows-10 (64-bit), with Windows Defender disabled. One is the Server and displays the instrument panel, and the other two are Clients and display external views-- one displays the -90|+90 views on two 24" monitors, and the other displays the -45|0|+45 views on three 24" monitors-- giving a wrap-around 230-degree outside view. Each monitor is driven by a separate output from the video card (in other words, the view is not "stretched" across the monitors). The systems are networked together by OpusFSI (latest version). Each system runs a licensed copy of Prepar3d v2.5. The only add-ons running on all three systems are OpusFSI (FSIse…

Hi Folks, Anyone tried this one yet? Looks good. http://www.sim-planet.com/en/fsx-downloads/vector-design-move-it-to-p3d.html?utm_source=Simplanet+Newsletter&utm_campaign=35786f6730-SimPlanet+Newsletter+January+2016+%233&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c8ddd4ec5e-35786f6730-184588433&mc_cid=35786f6730&mc_eid=1c6779e49b Regards, Jerry Friz

Hello, i started my FSX today and wanted to connect to ivap so i pressed alt and went to the addons tab. But there is only SODE in it. it worked perfectly yesterday.. here is my dll.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Addon Manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon&…

Hi. I installed P3DV3 and pmdg and another addons. When I load pmdg aircraft(737, 777), p3d crashes without any messages. I set option as low as possible but it looks same. my spec : i5 3570/r9 280x/8g ram I'm so confused because another aircraft such as default, and A**osoft A320 are works without error. Is it crashes with another addon? I installed FTX, EZCA. REX4 with Soft Clouds, ASN, A**osoft A321/320, 777 Immersion, fs2crew. these are all I wonder the solution * my locale is KO-KR
