February 26, 200422 yr Hi AllPlease could you help with the following as i am a new user of the PMDG 737-600/700.1. since installing the 737, FS9 seems to hang between menu's & hangs before shutting down. I have deleted the FS9.cfg & also the state files as per the FAQ site. But this has made no difference.2. where is the TO/Ga switch ? I believe it is on the main panel somewhere but i can't see it.3. I have also downloaded & installed the Easyjet 737 livery with stairs, but i can't seem find out which key activates the air stairs.Any idea's? I can open the doors no problem, but asking the passengers to jump is not fair.4. Could someone point me in the direction of a good easy to follow tutorial on how to fly this bird using the FMC.Many thanksMike.

It was placed here because on the real NG, the TOGA switch is located on the throttles themselves, and on the 2D cockpit you cannot see them.>3.

(You can tell this from reading the information in the User Interface....) If you have an airplane that uses Air Stairs and you would like to operate them, the following are some easy steps to help you! Within MSFS, access the CONTROLS menu, then the ASSIGNMENTS menu.Assign a key to EXTEND CONCORDE NOSE and VISOR FULLY (I recommend CTRL+F10)Assign a key to RETRACT CONCORDE NOSE and VISOR FULLY (I recommend CTRL+F9)Now the air stairs are mapped to your CTRL+F9 and CTRL+F10 keys so that you can operate them within MSFS!It is important to note that not every 737 includes the stair animation, as not all airlines order the stairs from Boeing! The stairs add a significant amount of weight to the basic shell of the airplane, so many airlines choose not to have them installed.You can normally determine if you model has air stairs by reading the User Interface information about the 737 you have chosen!>4. Could someone point me in the direction of a good easy to>follow tutorial on how to fly this bird using the FMC.Search the avsim file library for my name (Fred Clausen) or Tim Metzinger. Both of our tutorials should help you out :)
