Getting access to the manuals without installing the product

Featured Replies

Hi guys,sadly I'll be to holidays from the 31st to the 10th August. But as the NGX releases in this time, would it be possible to get access to the manuals when I buy the NGX in holidays on my notebook (On which FSX isn't installed, which is why I can't install the NGX on it)? I'd love to have something good to read in the holidays, so is there any way I could get the manuals after I've bought the NGX without installing it? Thanks for your helpEmanuel Hagen

Greetings from the 737 flightdeck!

It would be really good if they let us have the PMDG ones in PDF before release even if it's 2 days before, well anything would be great to get us reading up before release. Anything...

I think they said you will get the tutorial about 1 day before, I think it includes the PMDG manuals as well ...

That's good already. But what about the whole manuals after we've already pruchased the product? I think we will only get the installer file in the download from PMDG which will then install the product and the manuals as well as the other things included.But would it be possible to get the manuals without installing the product?

I don't think he is asking for the DL Boeing ones, as we all know they will only come with the 737, all he/we can ask/request is for any/all of PMDG's PDF asap.Please!How about a pretty please Black Eye.gif

No, I am asking for all the manuals which come with the download. My problem is just that I'll be on holiday when the NGX comes out and so I'd like to have at least the manuals (Both, PMDG and Boeing) to read there. And my question is that if I take my laptop (on which FSX is NOT installed) with me and buy the NGX then, is there any possibility to get access to the manuals without installing the NGX?

Not even when I have already bought the product?

you have to install it to get your manuals ... even if you have bought it ...maybe they changed it but I doubt it

The manuals are built into the installer of the PMDG 737NGX. You will have to install the PMDG 737NGX in order to access the manuals. The manuals will not be available for separate download at any time before, during, or after release.

But maybe it would be possible to upload them directly (let's say via email) to people who have purchased NGX? That seems fair, could be solved via ticket system, this is second request of such type, so maybe you (PMDG) could think about it. Regards,

Looks like you will have to install FSX on your notebook just so you can install the 737NGX just for the manauls tongue.png

Gentlemen... I'm not sure why there seems to be so much misunderstanding here. There is a reason the Boeing Manuals cost so much to buy the printed versions... it's not about cost to produce. It's about royalties and intellectual license to Boeing. Shoot Boeing an email and ask them if you can purchase an FCOM or QRH. You can't. I've tried. With all that said, you have to expect, and understand that downloadable versions of the manuals will also be protected. This isn't because PMDG doesn't want you to have them, it's because Boeing has very likely put some stipulations on their release and availability. I won't lie... I'm very surprised we are getting a PDF version in the first place, and expect that there will be some protections in place on those files. We all know the bad word that is the driving force behind this... piracy. No one is saying anyone in this forum would take any of these manuals and upload them to a torrent, or DL site, after all we are all upstanding citizens. However, Boeing and PMDG can't provide the avenue to make this happen. Stop putting PMDG on the spot. They aren't ignoring this post. I'm sure they've read it. It's likely they don't want open themselves up to criticism for spelling out the obvious, so I'll do it. The reason I'm speaking up is that I'd like to get these manuals with the package and don't want to push the issue to the point that they end up costing money. @emi... install FSX on your laptop, then you can install the NGX... a minimal install does not take up that much space. Off the soapbox now... Enjoy the long anticipated NGX Warren Soeldner

I'm not surprised, because I think every other PMDG Boeing release had the PDF versions of the QRF, AOM and FCOM vol 1+2 with the installer ... and no these files do not have protections on them, so you can print them for yourself if you want to
