PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu

Hello What is the procedure for landing at a controlled or non controlled airfield where there is no precision approach and no star, may or may not be PAPI or VASI, how far from the field and at what height is the aircraft in the landing configuration given the lack of landing tools, I assume at a radar controlled field you will get vectors to final but what height would you usually be and how far from the field gear down at Vref given the lack of landing guidance, thanks RegardsWayne

I have noticed a slight discrepancy in the the fuel figure reported in the perf init page vs. the FMC fuel loaded page. See screenshot below. Fuel in the Plan/Fuel box is always about 200 pounds more than what I asked to be loaded. Can someone explain why? I did see a note in the introduction document, is this the result of a modeled "quirk"? Fuel System:• Engine Valves and Spar Valves have emergency power packsattached to the valve actuator unit. These serve as emergencybackup power to close the fuel shutoff in an emergency if noother source of power is available, and explains why you can stillactuate those valves even if their primary source of power isoffline.• …

Someone in another post, name will not be distributed because I dont want his PM box spammed to death, had showed this picture from his progress on the Flood light/Panel lighting mod he has been working on. Basically he changed some text in a document or two and got the lights to change color. If anyone knows how to do this themselves, I certainly don't, please inform us how, if you may. I have already sent a PM to the creator of this for the files. This is stunning. I am also very glad to see PMDG didn't do some stupid panel texture instead because that means easy modding! This means you can have green flood lights with pink text lighting if you want for the hell of…

I cannot get the plane started. I am hoping someone would send me a saved start state with engines running. I have tried to eliminate last start state in options.ini file as well as attempting to start plane from cold and dark as well as the other available states. It seems there is an electrical problem as the panel which shows the power draw (above battery lever) has nothing in it. The drive lights are also lighted. There seems to be power because all the other indicators are lighted and I can start the apu, but not the engines. I am sure this is related to something I am doing so I am looking for help here rather than submitting a ticket. Thanks. Mike Marzettunplugged…

Out of curiosity and a possible benefit for PMDG to know, which 737NGX have you been flying the most so far? If you fly more than one variant, please choose the one which you plan to continue flying the most until the release of the 737-600/700 package. If you vote, it would be great if you also included the livery which you fly the most in your post, as well. I personally am flying the: Southwest 737-800NGX Winglets.

Is there a short cut for haveing the bag belts move up the aircraft?

I love this new tool, but I still think the MD-11 is tops. Has anyone noticed the Course and Heading display in the MCP only show the first two digits and they are aligned one space to the right? Also, I have had an intermittent problem with some displayed data freezing up, particularly in the CDU. A couple of times I have been happily poking around in the CDU setting up a plan when suddenly all the data fields will disappear. You try to enter data into the scratchpad and it doesn't show, but if you line select it, particularly if the data is invalid, you know it did take the data because you get the Invalid Data message (but only after you select a new page). Another exa…

Ok now another problem introduced by the latest hotfix. I am able to zoom in/out in the virtual cockpit before I use the CDU. After programming my route I closed the CDU and tried zooming in (+) and nothing happens. The hand pointer appears and each time I hit the + key the finger moves down then back up but no zoom for the panel. I tried exiting FSX and reloading it and the same thing happens. Zoom works fine until I open the CDU. At least it hasn't CTD yet.

Guys, I don't know what i did, but since yesterday I can not click anywhere on the Virtual Cockpit. I hover the cursor over the buttons and click on them and nothing happens... the cursor doesn't change to that finger... Can anyone help me? Regards,

HI I just got the ngx a couple of days ago, and its going good so far but its just some few questions I've been wondering about I'm pretty sure all this is listed in the manuals but I havent got time to read trough them all.. First off the seat belt sign. I see that theres a auto button for it, usually I turn it to auto when there's no more steep turns in my route, but I feel this isnt quite right when its coming to altitudes and such. Something I'd just like to know. Something else i've been wondering about is the cargo distribution. It seems logic to me that there is more in the aft than in the front so you float less on landing etc. Please fix me on this if its wro…

I can't see the trim because tooltips is not working for me. Is there another way to see the trim? I haven't been able to cruise level yet because I have to guess.

Once we run the windows add remove program, what folders are left,and can we then manually remove them?

Just took off from Halifax Intl (CYHZ) enroute to St. John's Intl (CYYT). Departure was the CYHZ3 Departure off RWY05, runway heading was 054. Upon takeoff I engaged the heading select and turned selector to 054 (it was on 053) and the aircraft did a complete 360 turn back to heading 054. Did I do something wrong? or was this a little bug I found. If anyone wants to try and recreate this my route was CYHZ3(RWY05) YHZ J575 LEXAK BURIN9 ILSRWY29. Like title says, I've never had a single issue with this aircraft until that happened, and who knows, maybe I forgot to do something or set something up improperly. Does anybody have any ideas?

Is there any way to position oneself in the VC centered directly under the overhead panel ? This would make viewing the overhead panel much easier by just looking up instead of paning to the right (or to the left) where it's difficult to see what's on the far side. The overhead panel can be opened-up from the 2D panle but in the VC, the switches are crystal clear, not the case in the 2D view. Also, what's the command for switching to the FO side ? Thanks,Zach

Dear PMDG team please fix the airberlin 738H livery some incorects airberlin belly logo to smal wrong (red color) offical press pics ! http://pics.airberlin.com/1/webmill.php?id=40&pin=ShjBZTdC&t_show=showpin i hope you can fix it what i mean ! Thank you very much for this beutiful NGX bird. best regrads

I don't understand why programming the CDU can be so quirky. Sometimes I can enter all the required route and performance information and the speeds/altitudes are automatically populated for all the legs. Other times I get nothing at all until I exit FSX, reload, then go through the same exact steps and it works fine. I have also had problems on occasion arming VNAV on the ground and the same thing fixes it....closing FSX and reloading under the same conditions. It just seems quite buggy. Am I the only one having problems like this?

Hi,Most amazing aircraft ever - totally mind blowing. Anyway I have a question (I've read quite a bit of the provided documentation and can't find the answer to this - so be gentle): I had service based failures on, and, in the before start procedure got a EMDP A/B OVERHEAT failure - both OVERHEAT and LOW PRESSURE lights above both the A and B EMPD switches came one and stayed on. woo hoo! Just like the real thing! Well, I elected to get the engineers to look into it rather than continue the flight (I cleared the failure via the CDU menu option under Hydraulic failures).Trouble is, even though the CDU said the failures were cleared, the warning OVERHEAT and LOW PRESSURE …

Greetings,First I apologize for asking a few questions to what I am certain have been answered before.I am new to PMDG products. I just recently purchased a machine worthy of PMDG. I am one of those simmers who really does not want to start up a cold aircraft, but much realism is desirable, hence the purchase of the 737NGX. I am going through the 737NGX tutorial, and I am finding programming the FMC to be laborious (not a criticism). I have noticed that an FSX flight plan cannot be uploaded like the Quality Wings 757. Am I correct? When one starts FSX, the tutorial say to select the aircraft, select the airport, and runway, select time and weather and directly go to th…

Hi all, I noticed twice now a strange knob on top of my aircraft. See picture.If i reload a different aircraft it dissapears.It seems to be a bug because KLM has no radar on top :-)

Doesn't RTM usually mean Release to Manufacturer? Does that mean it's some how going to revert me back to the clean install version of the NGX? When i ran the hotfix it said it would update it to the latest version ... .2992? something like that? And at the end it windows said it might not have installed correctly, is that just windows trying to be precautionary, or did it really not install correctly? Is there a way for me to check to see if the hotfix worked? Thanks, Mitch Bowman

Just thought I'd share a link that I stumbled across, nice pics...... http://www.pbase.com/flying_dutchman/boeing_737

Hi all,I have difficulty in following the FD during take off.After Vr and first phase of take off the horizontal FD bar lowers making me to trim down so as not to overshoot it.What is going wrong? (I pull gently the yoke after Vr trying to follow the FD). I had no such problem with the MD-11.Anybody else having the same issue? Thanks,Christos

Hi everyone - the 'Ol Blackbird here........I have a question about the wipers on this new "Bird". When I put the wiper switch on to its first position (Int), the wipers should wipe the windscreen once then wait a couple of seconds in the "resting" position, then wipe again - yes? (Like interval wipers on my car). This is not happening for me - they just automatically go to the first "regular" wiping speed - continuous slow. Anyone else have this issue? Am I missing something? If this has already been asked and answered, I apologize. I did a query, but came up with nothing. Thanks to anyone who can help! A comment here (if I may) - one thing I have learned about thi…
