iI must be doing something wrong programing the FMS becaus I can not get any v-speeds, any thoughts. I program FMC's all the time on other products and it works fine.

Depends. You don't give a lot of info here, so it's hard to tell. If you don't indicate flap setting for instance, you won't get V-spds. So be sure to check all your pages in the FMC that all required info is filled in. Has this happened before or is this the first time using the PMDG's 737 FMC? If it is, you probably forgot something. Easy to do as it has happened to me.Oh, you must sign your post with your real name. See forum rules or your post will be trashed.Jim Dow

You must also select a departing runway, if not, you will not get any Vspeed. You have also to click on the V1, Vr, V2 buttons (FMC takeoff page, right hand side) for the speeds to appear (PMDG courtesy...not that way in the real world), or you can enter your own values via scratchpad (that is the way it's done in the RW).

Hi,Actually, this is not necessary. If, for whatever reason, you don't select a departing runway you won't get the "preflight complete" message but you will be able to select your V speeds. Of course, in the end, you do need to select a departing runway. If you do it late (during taxi for example) or if you change your choice of runway before take off, you'll get the "Take-off speeds deleted" message and will need to re-enter them.Rgds,Bruno

Also the weights in the PERF page of course

It's an option to have the FMC give you the speeds. If the company can save a buck to make you look it up rather than pay a vendor to put the #s in the box, guess what happens. :(

Another thing that you may be doing wrong is not replying to those whom offered help. Isn't it a lack of courtesy to ask for help then never reply? Sadly I do see this often. You took the time to ask, we took the time to try and help and then you seem to ignore us. Now maybe there is a good reason for not replying, and if so, I would love to hear it and I will apologize for imputing bad manners to you.Jim D.
