PMDG 737 NGX Vertical speed hold problem

Featured Replies

A few things:

 

Don't use V/S unless you have a good reason. It sounds like LVL CHG is the mode you need. None of this "well I like to..." No, that's not how the 737 is flown.

 

Don't touch the SPEED button. Go straight from TOGA to LVL CHG once the flaps are up.

 

Take some screen shots on your next flight.

 

And lastly, Don't touch the SPEED button. ;)

Thanks everyone for your help! Really appreciate it !

Just one thing I want to share. When I tried taking the plane for a flight again I ended up pressing ALT Hold by mistake. I turned it off and pressed VS hold and just like that it started working again!

So I tried this a couple more times and it turns out that If I press VS hold after ALT hold, the plane starts ascending and descending according to the vertical speed I input. No problems at all! but I'm really starting to think that VNAV or LVL CHG is a better option.

It definitely is.  This isn't your old default plane anymore.

 

There are two tutorials that came with the plane that will definitely teach you a ton about it.
