PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

  1. Started by Bigmarty,

    I just purchased and installed P3D version 4 and get the above message when trying to install my PMDG 737 NGX. How doI get around this? Thanks. Martin Cook

  2. does anyone have a answer for why the trim wheel is only giving me high neg values. When I place the mouse curser over the trim wheel I see a positive valvue, but as soon as I try to change it for my desired setting it pops into a negative 8.xx and I cannot get it anywhere near a positive # I just installed the most current version of PMDG 737NGX. New fresh install of FSX and it is in C: FSX

    My 737NGX starts in a cold and dark state and it will not follow joystick or key commands. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it per the Operations Center. Can anybody interpret the following: [error.0] error=Failed to load visual effect "fx_PMDG_NGX_navwhih" [error.1] error=Failed to load visual effect "fx_PMDG_NGX_navwhih" [error.2] error=Failed to load visual effect "fx_PMDG_NGX_navwhih" [error.3] error=Failed to load visual effect "fx_PMDG_NGX_navwhih" [error.4] error=Failed to load visual effect "fx_PMDG_NGX_navwhih" [error.5] error=Failed to load visual effect "fx_PMDG_NGX_navwhih" [error.6] error=Failed to load vi…

  4. To ask the question I write what I did then I ask the question (be patience with me I cannot find a shorter clear way to explain it!). 1. I am cleared to Take off from EGCC rwy 05L. 2. My first wpt is on the other direction (230° toward KUXEM). 3. No SID here, ATC will give me vectors: after the take off I am expecting a left turn 90° and a little later another turn 90° left direct to KOXUM. (so not a 180° continuous left turn). 4. my NAV display shows the same but with a small difference: the left turn is quite immediately, continuous for 180° directing to KOXUM. 5. I plan to take off with only the HDG SEL armed on the autopilot. 6. Afte…

  5. Hello, Is it possible to assign an axis to the steering tiller and not have the rudder pedals move along with it? I have a joystick axis that I've assigned to the steering tiller but it also moves the rudder so when I go to apply brakes via the rudder pedals the steering is immediately centered as that is the position of my rudder pedals when the brakes are applied and the steering control is then assigned back to my pedals, hence it would be nice if they behaved as they do in real life and are not connected. I've searched the internet but can 't find an answer to this. Cheers, Jim V

  6. Hi all , this may be a stupid question but I’m building a 737 simpit , Is there a way that you can display the ND/PFD over a network ? And yes I have looked at prosim but I can’t justify nearly $2000 Australian for it . Also looked at FS Displays which does not support p3dv4 and freeFd doesn’t support pmdg products . so yes I have done some research before coming to the forum so if any one has and suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    I have a Sidewinder joystick that has worked fine with PMDG in 4.2. However, since doing a clean install of windows 10 on my SSD and fresh install of P3D 4.3 and PMDG, I can't get my joystick to work other than to pan around and change views. The flaps will go down one notch and no more. The throttle doesn't work as well. I've uninstalled 737NGX and reinstalled with the same problems. Any ideas out there? All other planes work fine. Thanks.

    I purchased a new version of PMDG for P3DV4, and installed the updates. P3DV4 loads fine and works well with the default aircrafts. When I change the aircraft to the PMDG 737, the plane loads, and goes through the 18 second initializing phase. A little bell sounds once the initialization is complete. About 10 seconds later, the screen changes to the plane being on the runway in crash mode. (The plane crashes - not the computer). I do not touch anything, not the mouse not the keyboard, not the yoke, throttle etc.. The screen just changes on its own. It then reloads back for initialization, then crashes again on the runway. Please let me know how to correct this. …

When I start the engines they run correctly but the fans are not animated when I go to the exterior view. However if I just start FSX with the plane in the default state, the engines are running and the engine fans are animated.

  11. Hi everyone, Im having this odd problem: I updated my P3Dv3 Navaids using this website: http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html . I then started my usual flight from EHAM and noticed I couldn't ask permission to taxi (yes I do use ATC in P3D). I believe the reason for this is that I can't tune the actual frequency 121.558 on the 737NGX's VHF, it just has 2 decimal places. My 737 is up-to-date by the way. Any solution to offer other than rolling back my navaids to an older version ?? Thanks, Mehdi Mezhoud

  14. I’ve spent the day reviewing how the LOC DME approach to runway 26 might be flown with circling for runway 08. In concern is Jeppesen chart 11-1 (or 11-2) for LOWI. Since it is a LOC DME approach, we can capture and track OEV localiser. We can also expect the glide slope indicator for reference past 19 OEV DME but the descent is to be managed in either VNAV or V/S mode (FCTM - Non-ILS Instrument Approaches). It’s here where things get confusing. A lot of videos show the use of LNAV/VNAV down to MDA. I see two issues. The lateral path (OEV localiser) is not being tracked by using the OEV localiser (which the procedure is predicated on) as prescribed by chart 11-1…

    Hello PMDG, been having an issue with the wx radar for the 737NGX since updating to P3Dv4.2, now updated P3Dv4.3. For some reason the wx radar stopped working, I have search and don't think too many people are having this issue except a few and the answer is always the same that you have to make sure there is precipitation in order for the wx radar to display returns. I do understand that and for some reason that is no the issue. Yesterday I did a fly from CLT to ATL and it was heavy rain and nothing will show up. I am using AS2016 for P3D and yesterday installed the gauge just to make sure precipitation is being display in the AS gauge and it was. Today I decided to…

  16. Howdy folks, I upgraded to 4.3 without a hitch, but I'm noticing some unusual behavior in my MFD. There's now a delay with calculating the descent after I pass waypoints while flying VNAV- All approaches are like this now. Sometimes it will show more than a thousand feet high or low before settling down to normal, and sometimes these delays can last for 5 seconds or so. Also, most of the approaches that I've been flying have been leading me to the wrong end of the airport. I'm inputting the data and transitions properly, but this has happened quite a few times and it's leaving me scratching my head. For example, when I was on one of the KDEN stars into 35L, ever…

Even when I set up the runway length/elevation on the center pedestal, the HUD display comes down, but nothing is showing. Can anyone help, please? Any thoughts? Should I uninstall and re-install 737NGX? Thank you, Andrew Beranek

    Hi all, I have purchased the NGX (BOXED) on Amazon With Version 1.10.6461. When an update came along in the PMDG Operations Center, I would update just fine. But when Version 1.20.8465 became available, It would fail to update. Every time I opened the Operations Center, It would prompt me to update to version 1.20.8465. So I went to Aerosoft to update, entered my registration key, But it said it was invalid. I decided to uninstall and re-install the NGX, And now I'm stuck on 1.10.6461! Now when I attempt to update, It says it was successful and the Operations Center opens 3 command prompt windows And writes stuff about the NGX for FSX:SE (which I …

With a small deviation I am able to fly in the middle without crossing neither of them but the separation is about 10 mils so I expect turbulengce also in the clear sky in the middle of the two. I fly and suddendly I enter in a not to heavy turbulence but the airpeed starts to fluctuate and to enter in the overspeed zone. What to do? How to properly manage the airpeed in these conditions? Can I allow the aircraft to violate the overspeed zone for some seconds whilst the autothrottle is slowing down to rec…

    Before Takeoff I try to set the trim at 6.23 following FMC info. Well.... I move the wheel via keyboard (Home/End keys) and also placing the mouse point on top of the trim wheel. A tooltip shows the current value. So, while the trim wheel is in motion the tooltip number is changing accordingly but suddenly the showing number stops while the wheel still in motion. I have to stop moving the wheel and start again until the tooltip stops showing the number again and so on until I get the expected value. Is it the way on how the Trim value procedure works? The manual doesn't answer me. Kyle said: All the same: when you're in the real plane, you don't get a pop up when yo…
