Bump - looking for a response from PMDG...Ian

I agree with all the points above, i am having all the same probs including loading things like the throttle panel and overhead..they take ages to load for me?

Wasn't there a problem like this with the CS727 at one point? Or was it the PSS 320, I can't quite remember. :-hmmm

Hi,that would not work at all for as long as PMDG has not patched this issue as they stated they will.I flue yesterday a nice 8xxnm trip at FL270 with about 90%PAX and 50% cargo and 12000lbs fuel.I choosed VC without V-Cabin.I experienced that my WinXP pro SP1a used unusual much page file on my HDD. Normaly I see about 400 to max 500 MB useage of page file while flying B747-Ready for takeoff or alike, even I gave Windows the space of 1000MB. But with PMDG B737TNG it went up to around 900MB usage of swap file! When I wanted to switch to other programmes I run in background like FSBuild, ActiveSky, etc. I experienced that Windows toke its time BIG time to remember how to handle them... If you get my point. Well, if you have a LOT more RAM it would solve the problem and speed up everything else as well. And than when PMDG has the patch released... WOW. But I just see no need to invest right now into more and better RAM (more speed etc.) 'cause I see my 768MB 2100 works just fine and only with dense UT-AI traffic at UK2002 Heathrow or alike I get a slide-show. But thats up to my CPU, I have this slow AMD XP 2400. But to go for a XP 3000 Burton would still be a waste of money, cause I would not gain so much more performance as I wish and the XP3200 is double as expensive...So, what to do? I wait and dont fly this aircraft 'till it got patched by PMDG.>Anyone increased their ram and had an increase in performance>for the 737?>>I've got 512Mb ram and am getting the inevitable frame-rate>death and hard disk activity.>Am thinking of increasing to 1Gb>>Alan

Yeah I find it unacceptable to have to upgrade in order to run a plane which in my opinion should work fine on my pc. I still don't think we have had a reply from PMDG on this thread...will this issue be fixed for us that use 2D panel only? I still have slow loads etc even if i don't use the VC.Ian

I just upgraded from 512 to 1024Mb and it made a huge difference. With the 2D aircraft running I have 190Mb RAM free - looks like 1Gb is the correct amount.I actually get a feeling of satisfaction when I'm using software that really does use all the power of the computer...(WinXP Pro, Athlon 2400+, Ti4200)Andrew

Gents-PMDG is here and listening. We're actually doing what we think is better - rather than coming in here and replying to every single bit of information, we gather all the material and spend quite a bit of time to figure out how to accomplish your requests and fix the problems.I have a report coming on memory usage of our bird... just hang on a day or two more...

Hi,thanx a bunuch and lot for doing it this way than replying not at all. Top give every week or so a report what you are doing and how much you have done by then is more worth then to answere to every doupled error report. But why dont you oin up a error thread where all these are posted and it stays up first here in this forum? And only reply there about bugs, not anywhere else?Just a idea if you get my point.>Gents->>PMDG is here and listening.
