June 2, 201115 yr Ah, a question for us old timers.HA, I hear ya. :( So the PDC basically gives you thrust settings for given or entered conditions?
June 2, 201115 yr Thanks. I am flying the TM 732 with INS and Sperry 77 and a PDC is not implemented in it, so that is why I was asking.Thats curious, out of interest do you have VNAV installed?HA, I hear ya. :( So the PDC basically gives you thrust settings for given or entered conditions? Not thrust. It calculated things such as top of decent based on weight and optimum cruise level AFAIK, Never having operated the 732Adv I don't actually know, all the Info I've given is purely based on information I've picked up from talking with some of our crews who did operate the 737-200 so feel free to point out any mistakes you spot or add to the info I've given...

June 2, 201115 yr Thats curious, out of interest do you have VNAV installed? No VNAV. Why curious? The Tinmouse is freeware and a real pleasure to fly, even without a PDC. It is more work calculating the climb- and descent rates and having an eye on EPR but this is how they have done it before PDCs were developed. Jan-N. Hartke

June 2, 201115 yr Sorry my bad, I mistook you for a RW pilot, curious because I thought that PDC was standard on the 732Adv...:DHehe, I am also sorry, the TM has of course a PDC, you can enter the current OAT and it gives you an EPR value for every phase of flight. Jan-N. Hartke
June 2, 201115 yr Sorry my bad, I mistook you for a RW pilot, curious because I thought that PDC was standard on the 732Adv...The PDCS was standard on the later -200Advs. So you're not far off. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

Interesting to know, as people seem to forget way to easyly how things were before they downloaded their route via ACARS and got their performance figures out of their fancy EFB or whatever. I'd certainly love to take a ride on a -200 once, but I guess there won't quite be a chance. :(

It'd probably cost way more than the current production models though...When you get ready to order lemme know, ok?

June 3, 201115 yr Really cool post. I have to say that the first thing that caught my eye was this the wear from the pilots resting their feet on the console edge. The team at PMDG were right in how they wanted the cockpit to fee lived in. Derek RogersPC Specs: Intel i7-4790K 4.6GHz : 16GB RAM : GTX 970 4GB

Most "used" 73s have lots of cockpit wear, and I think that they've done a wonderful job capturing this. Ethan Rayhorn My Office: (Taken at FL410)

To the right and below the flood light rotary. Not the rudder pedals. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
