Strange Noise after Shutdown

Featured Replies

First let me say, the PMDG 737 is a fantastic product, everything is modelled accurately to its entirety. However, a small issue I have persists... After a complete shutdown, packs, APU and Ground Gen are disconnected, I have a loud noise, I have no idea what it is or how to stop it. I have made a short video... [sorry for the crap frames, low-end (ish) system]

Many Thanks Craig Phillips

Almost sounds like your engines are at high rev's. have you tried to press Q a few times

press 'q' twice to mute and then unmute the sound ...I think this happens when you switch to outside view and then back to cockpit view

What sound card you got? & have you got it up to date with drivers etc..

I shall give it a go when I next do a flight, thanks ;). No sound card, just onboard sound, but the drivers are up-to-date. And thanks for the super fast response!

I am under the impression it is the typical FSX fault, not a 737 one. I could write a book about FSX ghosts.....and ghosts sounds... Once it happened to me to hear the landing gear sound ( on another addon not PMDG ) when in the main screen of FSX where you decide which plane to pick......

Nothing to do with it at all. This is the nature of such a complex aircraft/sounds in the FSX environment. Sometimes these things happen. As suggested earlier, pressing Q twice will fix it. And guess what? That's covered in the introduction manual!!! Doh.gif

Hi Craig, Indeed it is the dam FSX sound bug changing views - pressing "Q" twice after changing the view fixes it. We are currently working on a permanent fix to this issue via FSUIPC - stay tuned !!!
