Hi PMDG,After having been away for a few weeks and checking your web site again I get '404' pages (file not found) for everything except the main page when using Mozilla. When using MS IE (which I try to avoid as much as possible) the links are correct and lead to the correct pages as far as I can tell. Hope this is only an oversight and not a new requirement.Regards,Siggy

I find myself wonderring if the clock is correct when it's displaying the UTC. I think that it is displaying the GMT time and not UTC. In the summer GMT is one hour ahead of UTC and when I compare with UTC on VATSIM or the internet the PMDG clock is one hour ahead. I know it's a small thing, but it should be easy to fix.

Hey all,I was just wondering, for the people who are very eager for a regular update on progress, maybe a nice simple progress meter might stop all the "when is it coming out" posts....this being a development meter rather than an ETA or any time measurement.0 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 - 90 - 100With approximately the following progress meanings. Please feel free to update the sections and also where you think the progress meter currently is! Id put my money on around 50% 30 development 40 development... 50 development... 60 development... 70 beta version ready 80 beta version revisions & development 90 further testing & development100 release to man…

Is there anyway to add an airport to the FMC that does not exist in Stefan's NAVDATA? I have had no luck reaching the busy Stefan. Any help would be gratefully received.

Here is an idea or concept that came across my mind during a recent flight in the 737-800. Many users, myself included, enjoy using the PMDG options menu to customize our 737 to suit our tastes and our PC speeds. We alao use the load manager to adjust the weight and balance of our 737's. We all need the use of a fuel planner. And one thing I enjoy is starting from a cold and dark cockpit. What would be really neat to have is one program that can control it all externally from flight simulator. Let me explain. What we can do is choose our colors, panel options, TCAS settings, fuel and payload settings as well as our panel load states (cold and dark cockpits) from a separa…

Just a quickie - I have both the 737 Next Generation v1.3 (released 04-26)and 737-800-900 v1.1 (released 07-29).Based on the website info I do not need any additional updates.I need to reinstall the both packages and as I understand I need to use the removal tool first, then install the NG option and finally the 800-900 version.The question is if I have to install the '737-800-900 optional model update' to have a clickable VC in the 737-600 as well?Thanks for the infoDom

Hi PMDG,After the installation of the series 800/900 and to have brought up to date the series 600/700 in the virtual cabin the dome switch is not driven neither illuminates the VC. Some suggestion?

Dear Team,The other day, I did all the Service Pack2 windows stuff and fs9-1 etc, but before any of that, I completely cleaned my Fs9 out.With Pmdg 73, I used the removal tool, then manually removed every single Pmdg 73 file I could find on my system. Once I had finished upating my system with SP2, Latest video Drivers,Latest FSUIPC,Latest Active Camera, blah blah blah....Fs9 and Fs9-1, Etc. Etc, I re-installed most aircraft, scenery and utilities. For the re-install of Pmdg 73/6789, I started with SU1.1 and followed through with each file in turn as shown below. Problems began when I put the "Optional VC" Patch in, the installer said that it could not find the pmdg 1.1…

How do I change my destination when mid flight - is this possible -where do I look for info please?

Hi,Have been trying the new scenery padlock view in AC2004 but haven't managed to have it work - anyone who has?

They just released a Update of Active Sky 2004.5 for all 2004 and older 2004.5 Beta versions. I flew into KORD this afternoon and the cloud effects were better than real :). http://www.hifisim.com/downloads.htm

There do not seem to be a Virtual Cockpit in my version of B1900! Presseing "S" it does not show up. Where did the VC "go"??Lars Frederiksen

Hey all,I'm getting the off sched descent light coming on after a turn around.The situation today:YMML - YPAD, cruise alt of FL320, landing elev 20, Flight went without a hitch.

Hi allFor those who are using 17" CRT monitor,what is the resolution and VGA card you all use?thanks.

Hello,Currently I am standing at Schiphol ready for my flight to London Luton.I have put the flightplan in the FMC...filled in the ZFW etc.When I filled in the CRZ FL (FL240) I get a error message: Unable Cruise ALT.And there are no Altitudes given in the LEGS page. And even if the Fuel tanks are full at the PROG page I see at the waypoints 0.0 fuel.Can anyone help me? I have this problem since a few days now...therefore i havn't any problems with it.I use FS9 (without the update) PMDG B73NG -800/-900Kind Regards,Guy Haalebos

hi therei have recently purchased PMDG 737 and are having a lot of fun since i dont have a clue on how to use and operate the FMC. But, as time goes by i pick up a few things (manuals are for girls ...).however, every time i select the PMDG it starts with a "brrrrrrrrr" sound in the background - weak, but always there. after flying with some other aircraft, i switced and the sound was missing. but only that once. it sounds like some sort of warning, but i cant find the cause.any help would be appriciated - i'll even consider washing ur car.:-)

I just purchased PMDG Beechcraft 1900. I am surprised that all I can find of information about the plane is a 14 page "thick" manual. Having the PMDG 737NG I'm used to more information, turorials etc. Is it a fact that this tiny manual is all the information that PMDG deliver? I have tried on the PMDG download page, but there seems to be nothing there. Can anybody tell me where I can find some more info on this plane?Kind RegardsLars

Hello my 737 operators.!But I seem to have a sproblem when going to install the 737NG. I recently bought it from the shops and whenever i go to install it on my PC, the installation doesnt respond and seems to freeze so i have to close it down! It never gets past the first bit of installation ":WINDOWS/Fonts/Arialn.ttf"And i have uninstalled and reinstalled but it just wont work! Any more ideas would be grateful as othewr have tried and given me ideas but it astill wont install!REGARDS Adrian

hi all,so far i can't inside the checklist or forum on how to start the engine, only i can find detail check list on before and after start up, normally i just press ctrl E to start, anyone can help me ?second, what is the meaning and function "WXR" button at EFIS control panel ? nothing change in the navigation display when i press it.in real,is this to view the weather inside ND ?

I don't know if there is a document/tutorial on this already, if so I would like to see it. I was wondering if someone could make, or point me to a tutorial ala the one that is in fs9 about flying the pattern in the cessna. Something that lists the altitude, speed and all that stuff so I could pratise handflying this beauty some more.

Gents,Will 744 Sky Queen have WX radar implemented?cheersJosh

Okay, so I've completed a repaint. It's on the 737-700 onto the "full_left" side of the image, with the full fuselage and not chopped into the lil pieces, now, i'm stuck on how to convert it and what to do with it from there. Any help is greatly appreciated!AJ LongCOO - Spirit Virtual AirlinesResearch and Marketing VP - Hyperion Airwayshttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpgVATSIM Miami ARTCC Air Traffic ControllerMicrosoft Windows XP Home Edition

The "Automatic Flight Management Systems" manual says this (on page 9-6 in the "ROLL Command Mode" section):"At no time will any autopilot roll mode exceed the bank limit selector or maneuvering speed limits in order to maintain course."In my experience with the PMDG 737NG 600/700, I have lowered the bank limit selector to the lowest (10), and still my LNAV commanded turns are very very steep. In fact, my LNAV commanded turns are very steep regardless of what bank limit settings I may be using, it actually seems as if it ignores the bank limit setting altogether.The only time that I have seen the autopilot use the bank limit setting is when I manually set a heading.Now, i…
