There are two ways to update the products depending the version you are. 1) Through the OC, if you open the Operations center you should get a notification of an update. Clicking it it should open a dos windows and the update should start. If you have an old version this dos window will open and close in this case 2) Log in to the PMDG store with your account. Select View previous orders and then select the order you like. At the bottom is the URL to download the latest installer. Uninstall the ones you have and install with the new installer Chris Makris PLEASE NOTE PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at http://forum.pmdg.com
February 10, 20188 yr Author Thanks Chris for your answer. I did the update via the PMDG Operation centre. I have this problen now when I start the engines of the 737 the N2 does not go more that 60.6 I have starded the negines with the same procedure as I always do (like the instructions manual) but now they never go more the 60.6 What is the problem. Is it faulty service pack Stelios Stelios Christofides

What happens when you use the default configuration with engines running? Maybe your old panel state file needs updated. There is not a bug in the service pack of this nature. Dan Downs KCRP
February 11, 20188 yr Author No on idle state just after you start the engine. The ignition switch stays on GRD and it doesn't go to OFF and N! stays at 60.6. Stelios Stelios Christofides

Stelios I'm lost, you've used interchangeably N2, N1 and N!, and the starter switch should be clicking off around 50-60% N2 as the fuel flows and EGT increase. I define the engine started as when it has stabilized including EGT which peaks then decreases then reaches equilibrium. I'm sorry, but I'm not looking over your shoulder and you have not yet provided enough information to give me a picture in my mind of what you see. The most common start problem is having both packs on. Dan Downs KCRP
February 12, 20188 yr With packs on the turbine hardly reaches 20%... N! Looks like N1 with the shift key held. nevertheless, Stelios, you really should explain a little in detail what you have done updating your addon. That sounds a little weird. ,
February 12, 20188 yr I just flew a B736 trip and looked at the N1/N2 gauges after normal startup. The N2 indicate about 58-59%, which is normal. I don't have a clue what the problem is yet, waiting for a little more effort with a problem description. Dan Downs KCRP
February 13, 20188 yr Author The problem was that once the N2 reaches 58-60 the, the ignition switch stays on GRD and it doesn't go to OFF as it should do. In anycase I have unistalled the 737 and reinstalled it again and now it works OK. I am though scared to installed the update that it shows in the PMDG Operations center in case I have the same problem again. Is this update important? Stelios Stelios Christofides

Stelios You effectively ruled out finding the source of the problem, most likely a corrupt panel state. While the switch is in ground start position, does the start valve annunciator remain lit or does it extinguish as expected around 50%N2? You should install the micro updates offered by the OC. Not keeping up to date effectively nullifies the ability to get help with problems. Dan Downs KCRP
February 14, 20188 yr Author Well I did install after all the service updates and all is working OK now. Thank you all for your input. Stelios Stelios Christofides
