PMDG 737 Strange problem, need help

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I'm having a strange problem with PMDG 737, all makes and models.

 

There is like a long rope and a ball attached to it that hangs off the top of the tail. I have attached a picture to show the proble.

 

I have a 3 monitor set up, so the pic may be a little hard to see, but you should be able to make it out.

 

I had added a few different liveries at one time through the repaint manager and since then, I have the problem.

 

I have uninstalled the liveries, but the rope is still there, on all my liveries, even the stock ones.

 

I have uninstalled PMDG entirely and reinstalled, but no luck. The problem is still there.

 

Does anyone know, or have an idea what may be causing this, and how to fix it?

 

All help appreciated.

 

Thank you,

The thing attached to your tail is part of the test suit aircraft. You can remove it via the PMDG settings in the FMC

You have the flight test package installed, disable it in the fmc. Can't remember exact page, maybe menu, pmdg setup, options.....etc

You can always go through the documents that comes with the PMDG installation.

Contains a very good read and describes all the configuration items too.
