Looking for an answer.When in FS9 I save a flight (using the colon key), exit the program, start it up again and select that flight, the aircraft, it's location runway, all switch settings, NAV and COM radio freqs, OBS settings, etc., etc. are reproduced faithfully. In other words I can continue that flight from where I left off. However, when I do exactly the same thing with PMDG's B-737, all values, including the flight computer data, reset to their default values and I have to start all over again. Does anybody have an idea what may be wrong and tell me how to fix this?Thanks,H.v.d.B.

Unfortunatly, nothing. The newer payware like LVD 767 and PMDG 744 have an option that lets you save the panel state at the same time you save the flight.Dave FisherCYYZP4 Prescott 3.2e 478p 800mhz 1mg CPUP4P800SE Asus Motherboard1.5 gig PC3200 DDR RAM 400MHZGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HD x2WDC WD800 80 Gig HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpghttp://fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpghttp://www.jdtllc.com/images/rcv4bannersupporter.jpg

And regretably PMDG are no longer developing the 737, so that it is slipping back from its previously pre-eminent position

I just realised that the PMDG 737 600700 is almost two years old, when it was released it didn't have a clickable VC. I'm sure you'll see a panel confg/save feature on all future releases.Dave

From the various responses to my original question, I have come to the conclusion that my best bet is to get the LevelD B767 as I get the impression that with that aircraft, "saving the flight", does indeed save all the settings of the flight computer and the controls, e.g. autopilot, hdg, flaps, etc.I considered PIC's B737, but that seems to still have the "steam gauges" and I want the "glass" cockpit. Flying (for real) a C-182T with the Garmin 1000 spoils you. H.v.d.B.

You certainly wouldn't be disappointed with other aspects of the 767 either, that's for sure!However, with rather longer flights being the norm than with the 737, you really do need to be able to break flights up into chunks, whereas with the 737, legs as short as an hour, or even a bit less, are quite realistic.

At least you can still fly short legs in a long-haul aircraft, while the opposite is difficult, to say the least!In a beautiful, 25-page, clearly illustrated, tutorial on PMDG's 737, by Renardo Srulzon (www.fsstation.com => tutorials), he describes all the switch settings etc., etc., from soup to nuts, i.e. from a cold start at the gate of the departure airport to shutdown at the gate of the destination airport. I found something very strange in there though. The overhead panel shows all toggle switches with "on" in the down position and "off" in the up position. I'd expect that in an aircraft built in Europe, but this is a Boeing. On the other hand, those switches on the autopilot panel follow the US habit. It seems that would also cause confusion for the pilots.Can anybody shed light on that? Is that the way it is in the real 737 or just in the sim"? I'd be most interested.Thanks,H.v.d.B.
