PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

  1. I don't know if anyone might find this useful, but here is how I got TopCat + PFPX to match the weights used by the various PMDG 737NGX FMC's. This was all calculated and recorded by loading 737 variants (both mixed-class and single class seating [they are different]) and zeroing-out the fuel and payload and then recording the basic FMC dry weight (DOW). I then loaded full passengers (no fuel) to record the ZFW for each class, then added full fuel (46057 all cases) and noted the MTOW. PLEASE NOTE: In order for TopCat, PFPX, and the 737NGX FMC to match exactly, USE ONLY ADULTS, with weights preset to 175 lbs per adult, in the TopCat and PFPX preferences. Don't use childre…

  2. Hi All, I´m new to the community and happy to join. I just installed FSX:SE and the PMDG 737NGX base package using Windows10. My Problem is now, that all Screens are black, I can´t move any Switch, some are missing ( for example the landing gear Lever), the standby Instruments are missplaced and compressed. After some Research I came across the 4 SimConnect Files which I installed twice. Unfortunately no Change... Furthermore, everytime I start the PMDG 737 "initialization of license library failed" appears. Can anyone of you help me? Thank´s in advance!

    I am asking about what has happened to my query July 24 2017, (Ticket: 2D6-210853C5-0401). I initially received prompt responses from PMDG up until August 19, then nothing. I made a request concerning the issue on October 23, and still no response. I would be grateful for at least an acknowledgement. Sincerely, Neil Bradley

    Hello, I have become to have these errors with my 737 bird. The sim loads all right and it functions but after I shut down the sim, error log shows that P3D has crashed and the reason is PMDG_737NGX_2.dll. I have not changed anything other than tried Riva Tuner Statistics Server. I removed that in order to cure the problem. Have anybody got any clue what´s going on and how to solve this thing?

  7. I did several flights in P3D with throttles in AT mode retarding themselves just before touch down (always had it in FSX too). Now another flight and this didn't happen, the thrust was on after touchdown trying to maintain Vref (135 it was). I tried the approach 3 more times (I have FSUIPC saving flight every 30 seconds) and every landing I experienced the same thing: no throttle retardation. I am panicking now... seriously panicking, please help. ...my CH thrust levers were retarded.

  9. Hi all, I am finding that neither SIDs or STARs are available for any route I attempt to load into my 737-800 FMC (via Co Route or Manually) My Nav Data is using the latest AIRAC Cycle (1712 - Nov9-Dec6'17) and this shows as being installed and current on the FMC. I am using Navigraph Charts 5, Navigraph Charts Desktop, as well as the latest version of PFPX (1.28.9i) to generate all my flight plans and have not experienced any similar issues when flying the 777. An example from this morning: FMC>POS INIT>Ref Airport (LEMH)>Gate (9)>Set IRS Position - no problems so far.. ROUTE>ORIGIN - I enter 'LEMH' and the error message 'LN: …

    Hi every One! My Name is Manuel Santillàn. I have a problem with my VC textures that are a little blurred on the 737NG and 777, the other textures like clouds ground etc works fine The problem I think is on the FSX.cfg because if I delete the existing .cfg, the original configuration when I load the FSX works fine! But I can`t fly with the original configuration because I use the Fsdreamteam products like airports and GSX originals and i suppose that the StandAlone Manager of this products change the configuration of that archive .cfg. I change the settings to "Very High" in the plane configuration of the FSX and I m…

    Sorry for the duplicate post. I lost the connection during t he first attempt and didn't realize I had duplicated it until it was too late. I just reinstalled 737NGX in FSX and when I load the plane the instrument panels are dark. Engine is running because I can hear it, but the panels show nothing. I can't figure it out or find anything in the manuals that would point to this. Any ideas? ------ Ira Robinson

  18. I have to say I've had very little issues with the NGX. I've had the plane going on 18 months now, maybe more. I'm using P3dv4. Today will be second time I've been in flight where I go to enter the arrival portion of the route with the star & transition, and as soon as I press 'exec' on the FMS, the legs have their alt & speed erased (about half of the legs in the remainder of the flight). Vnav of course disconnects when this happens. My procedures have been the same since I learned the AC and trained from real NG pilots. I don't believe there is anything I'm doing that's causing the problem. In fact on this flight, at takeoff, once established on…

  21. Dear fellow pilots, after upgrading to P3D v4.1, I downloaded the latest PMDG737-800/900 pack (V1.20.8465) and installed it under Win10 with Administrative privileges. Now, whenever I start P3D (as Administrator !), select the 737 in the scenario setup and hit OK, I always get a warning: "PMDG Debug: Warning: the PMDG product was unable to create its work files. Please make sure that you are running Prepar3D as administrator." and P3D quits. Everything is already running as Administrator. I am stuck and really appreciate any suggestions !!! Thank you very much in advance !!! Holger Schneider

  23. Started by Christopher Low,

    At the moment, I am limiting my cruise altitude for short flights around the UK to 5000 feet (so that I can enjoy the scenery). However, I have noticed that the speed of my aircraft increases excessively during this short climb, even though I have the upper limit set at 220 knots (slightly lower than the 240 knots normal limit; this is an adjustment to compensate for slightly slow photoscenery texture load times). My aircraft quite often accelerates to 260 knots by the time that power is reduced as I approach 5000 feet, and it makes me wonder if I am missing something. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or if I should be doing something to correct it? For the reco…

  25. Started by Freo,

    I have 106 Switches, Push Buttons and Rotaries running through Leo Bodnar cards and FSUIPC, for my 737-800 NGX, and they all operate as they should. I am trying to get the Reverse thrust levers to operate through switches, but it refuses to work.This is for P3Dv4, and I had the same problem in the FSX version. It makes no difference whether the throttle levers are calibrated through FSUIPC or the Sim.. I have checked and rechecked that the Event ID numbers are correct, and they are. Any thoughts on this problem would be welcome. Cheers
