Hey there, I was wondering if you can save panel states in the PMDG 737 for MSFS per aircraft/livery? I want to use the entire Tuifly fleet (D-A BBD, BKI, BKJ, BKM, BKN, BMW, BMV, HFV, HLK, SUN, TUA, TUF, TUJ, TUK, TUN, TUO, TUR, TUZ, TYJ) and my target is to have a "last panel state" saved for every registration. When I fly the D-ATUA and leave the plane today, can I just "Save Panel State" and load it in a couple days to have the exact same state of this specific aircraft? Is there any limitation regarding the number of saved states? Or can I do this with every single registration?

There are several Streamdeck solutions for MSFS… does anyone understand the differences? Has anyone tried more than one? What did you choose, but more importantly, why did you choose it? Solutions I’ve seen… Flight Tracker (free) PilotDeck (free) FlightDeck (pay) AxisAndOhs (pay) ??? (I will be flying the FBW 32NX and probably the Kodiak so something that can support these planes would be on my shortlist).

Hi all! I was about ready to place an order for the Obutto R3volution and some HOTAS accessories, but after looking at the forums, Reddit, sending an email to them to customer support to ask about a few things, I didn't know if they were still selling items- all of the posts are really old, so maybe its just a slow site. Anyhow, while I wait for a reply from them, can anyone recommend a comparable flightsim chair rig that supports the same items such as multiple monitors, an adjustable chair, speaker mounts, etc? If you have one can you recommend one? Thanks for any guidance you can provide! Trying to keep the budget under $2000...

Hi, not using any mods. The LOD in Alaska seems pretty bad, especially for the snow covered mountains in some places. Not having such a problem in other places. I was told the Bing Maps for Alaska are know to be bad and there ther is a bug so the further you go north in the world the worse the LOD gets? Have you experianced something similar in Alaska?

I just planned and flew a flight from Zurich to Innsbruck in the PMDG 737-700 using Simbrief as my flight planning tool. The flight level given from Simbrief for cruising was FL170. When ready to taxi from the gate, the FMC in the 737 was suggesting an Optimum flight level of FL386. Now that is one hell of a difference. What happens in the real world - and which, if any is the correct cruise level to use - both for economy and VNAV functionality, particularly with what was a very short flight. Just do not thing a flight level of anything above FL250 would have worked.

Based on your feedback yesterday, I purchased the PMDG 737-600 and am loving it. Does anyone know why the trim wheel mapped to elevator trim axis -100 to +100 in the sim does not move the wheel in the aircraft? The axis works in the "sensitivity" window, so I know that it's recognized by msfs. If I map a button, the trim wheel works fine. It's programming the axis that seems odd. thanks.

This isn't SU5 related, I noticed it a few updates back but today broke it for me for good. I use Belkin KVM switch to use one keyboard/mouse between two machines. In recent updates the sim froze for me for a bit, but recovered and I was able to use the mouse. After SU5 it freezes and I'm stuck. I guess it's worth a ticket?

I have a 12900K with an ASUS 3080ti and usually see frame rates in the 50-90 range when in flight and as low as 25-30 sometimes when starting a flight at a high end 3rd party airport in the PMDG 737. If I am flying around weather, I sometimes see FPS drop into the single digits for several minutes... perhaps 5 - 10 minutes. Usually on approach (coming back down into the weather). My internet connection is hard wired and have gigabit that runs as advertised from my provider.... not sure if this matters but I know this can impact things sometimes. Does anyone else experience this? Quite annoying as I had an approach recently with lower vis and clouds/fog a…

Hi, does anyone have any experience using this controller for MSFS steam version? It will basically be used in the external and drone views. I've got a joystick and keyboard and mouse that will do the rest for me but using a controller is alot more smoother to use on the showcase views. Ive tried using my PS4 controller and for some reason doesn't keep my settings and always adds another device to the control tab even though I've only the 1 controller and doesn't keep my bindings? TIA

At my mostly used airport, I have a strange problem: every time I open a flight from it, there are trees over some taxiways. The solution I found is disabling photogrametry or online functionality if it is enabled, or viceversa enabling it if is was disabled, then the trees are gone. Any suggestions ? Thanks

If you want to update the Navigraph Data in the 737 - 600 and do not have the 737 - 700 installed you can manually download the 2207 Rev 1 Airac cycle using the Navigraph FMS Data Manager, select PMDG All compatible Products (Download to a folder on your desktop) and then copy the NavData & SidStars folders in to the following \Community\pmdg-aircraft-736\Config This will update the 737 - 600 to the current Airac cycle. I just did this and now in the FMC it is showing AIRAC-2207 JUL14AUG11/22 Apparently Navigraph are working on an update for the Navigraph NavData Center which I assume will get pushed out in due course.
