I am now unable to print flight plans generated in FS9. I never had this problem before. My printer is working fine, and I am able to print other areas of FS9 such as the help topics.My problem began when I tired to print an FS9 flight plan while I was running my 737NG (PMDG) sim software. Has anyone had the 727NG software create this problem?Does anyone have any suggestions? Would reloading the FS9 cfg file help?Thanks.Stanner

I WANT A LITTLE HELP TO START PMDG 737NG ENGINES COLD ,WHEN AT A GATE OF AN AIRPORT.BUT HOW?ALWAYS IN FS9 ARE ON.AND HOW TURN OFF THEM, AT THE END OF SUCCSESSFUL LANDING AND PARKING?THANKS IN ADVANCE.:-zhelp

Hi,I've just got the 1900D (very good it is too). I was reading a review somewhere and it said it came with a manual, but I don't seem to have one.I can't seem to find one on the PMDG website either.Any ideas?

My Fsuipc is registered and I have all programs to flight online.I have PMDg 737-800/900 since fex days. When I rotate switch on radio panel in test position, everything is ok (test ok, voice : TCAS system is ok) but I don't found the "TFC" button on the "EFIS MCP" panel for displaying aircraft on the ND ?? Infact, I have TCAS resolution but I don't see any traffic on my ND.. ??Please help me !!!

Fellow captains,as posted in the AVSIM news, celebrate the 2004 convention and show off some precision handling with the PMDG 737s and Beech 1900D by participating in the AVSIM/Denver fly-in, September 18th, from 1800Z to 2200Z on the VATSIM network.Meet lots of friendly professional controllers, fly into or out of the airport boasting the longest runway in the world at 16,000', or nearby Centenial, Front Range or JeffCo. Rest assured all the luggage handling problems have been solved.Checkout Gary Widup's excellent KDEN scenery on the AVSIM library if you don't have the latest (the default scenery is missing one of the 16/34 runways).

Please can you help - in the 737 load manager program, does the "cargo" setting control pax baggage, or does the weight of each pax include a certain amount for baggage? - i.e. Cargo weight is pure cargo, entirely distinct from pax baggage.I ask because in hi-density configs, there is not much spare weight at all for baggage, and virtually none for additional cargo, without exceeding MLW.Many thanks for any advice offered.Tim Hall

I am flying PMDG737 800-900 series with the CPFlight MCP. I am finding on final approaches that my AP cuts out in the last 1000 feet or so (before minimums) dessite having both NAV1 and NAV2 tuned to the ILS and both CMDs active and on a smooth descent captured on the glideslope. Anyone else experienced this?RG

Hi all,I'm really looking forward to the new PMDG Boeing 747-400, and I would really like to fly it. I only encounter 1 problem. For me it's impossible to fly non-stop, real time from Schiphol (EHAM) to New York (KJFK), is there some way to save my flight? In the PMGD 737NG, if I save the flight and I reload it again, the FMC LEGS page is empty, and all the switches are set to their original pre-flight positions. I know you can save the RTE, but after that, all the speeds and heights are missing, is there a way do improve this on the new 747?Thanks in advance!Michael "Flightfreak" Henke

What is the difference between the VC&cabin and the VC versions? In my just downloaded version plus the 1.1 update, everything seems identical, iecockpit view - no cockpit sides back etc, only the frontal 2Dpanel; VC view - all of the interior cockpitIn the 2D version all is as I would expect, ie the cockpit view is complete with 2Dpanel, cockpit sides, back etc; and no VC viewWhat does cabin refer to - the cockpit? passenger cabin? or otherI have downloaded and installed the yoke. I am not using the XReality gauges; the 3 model folders are in placeThere seem to be minimal instructions, a small readme on installation - do I have everything?Great looking and performi…

Hi fellow flightsimers,lately, I was wandering what performance hit for the 737 I have to expect if I'd build in a second (PCI) graphics card into my computer and use it for two additional external 3D views (without the 3D cockpit of the 737). Last weekend I tried it with one additional external view on the second video port of my AGP graphics card and the frame-rate loss was of the order of 20%. I have a 2.8 GHz P4 with 512 MB DDR400 RAM (probably 1 GB soon) and a Radeon 9800 pro. Any experience?By the way, the 9800 is not overclocked at the moment. Does anybody know what I could gain with overclocking and what program I should use?Best regards Alexander Kappes

Friends - I read another thread somehwere around page 24 today about not being able to properly save flights when using PMDG NG73x.Is this true? If so, is there a workaround? If not, is it being treated as a potential fix?Thanks in advance, Chardy

Dear 737 captains,in about half of my approaches in autoland mode the autopilots (one and two) disengage about half a mile before touch down. Why does this happen and does this happen in reality? If so, landings are much more demanding than I thought. But somehow I can

Hi there.This is last error message i got on FMC, with bells and whistles...Cannot set VNAV at all. What does this means? And what should i do in that case. I set my CRZ ALT at FL280 and once i'm at that altitude cannot engage VNAVThanks for helpingLuigi ;-)

Well, I broke down and bought the 800NG and installed it over the existing 600NG. It seemed to go well. I am impressed! The birds are beautiful and the STYLES choices are just fantastic. I tested the 800 and 900 and both look great. Frames are very acceptable in 2-D and fairly decent in VC mode as well.But a couple of issues:1. Every time I load the NG, the PMDG Nav/AIRAC data gets re-loaded in that little center window and it takes about 60 to 90 secs. to complete doing this. The engines sound funny inside the cockpit while this is going on. When the data has been loaded, the engines still sound funny. So after this process, I re-load the same PMDG a/c and the so…

Dear PMDG,I was wondering if it's possible to make the INBD Landing lights seperatly from the OUTBD landing lights????Thanks,

What program do I use to paint the PMDG 737? Do I just use MS Paint or is there another program that I need?

ON ALL FLIGHTS....I'll be having a normal flight and everything seems to be going smooth until on descent the FMC will continuesly say "DRAG REQUIRED" and "OVERSPEED DISCONNECT (whenever it says OVERSPEED DISCONNECT it will disconnect VNAV)" thus screwing up my entireapproach. I know these problems I'm experiencing probably have to do with not putting in wind conditions on the forecasts page on the FMC. But how am I supposed to know what the winds are going to be at specific altitudes, that I will pass on descent to put in ahead of time? The only winds that the FMC provides are the current wind conditions for the altitude that you are currently at on the PROGRESS page. An…

Thanks: Erwin

Hi All,Has anybody had any problems starting the right (starboard) engine for the 737-600/700. Following the correct start procedure does not work for me. The left (Port) starts without a problem, selecting the switches correctly and then turning on the fuel lever when the turbine is @ 20% but to start the right one I have to use the CTRL+E combination.Then it takes 5 or 6 starts before it coughs and splutters into life, I know it's not a great problem but I would like to know if anybody else has experienced this and has managed to find a fix.

Hi GuysEach time i capture the g/s for an ils approach using the 737-800, i get the following error message on the fmc :-RW/APP CRS ERRORAs yet, the landings always proceed without a hitch, however, it worries me slightly that i see an error message.Can anyone suggest why i should see this message and why it doesn't seem to have any effect on the ils landing ? Kind RegardsGary
