2 problems with the PMDG 737-80NGX

[ThecreeperEB 0]

Hello everyone !

Today, i have played FSX with the PMDG 737 and i found that the weather radar doesn't work ! (i use the "major Thunderstorm" weather theme) did you know why he doesn't work ?

And there is my second problem :

Did you know who can i solve this problem ? (The passenger view is glitching)

Thanks for you'r help !

Use your minus or plus key to change the resolution.

Welcome to the forums, please note that PMDG requires that users include a signature block with the user's name, first and last, in all posts in the PMDG forum.
Failure to include a signature will result in removal of the post without comment.

We strongly encourage users to set up a signature block in their AVSim user account, then you never have to worry to remember in the future!

You need Active Sky for the wx radar to work. It will not work with the FSX weather.

Thanks you for you'r reply ! 

So, how can i create a signature block ?

Indeed. You need to remember that the PMDG software sort of works partly outside of FSX or P3D and interacts with it. The FSX weather, though OK, is inside and can't get out then in. Active Sky is another modern external program that injects the results back into the simulator. 

It's a feature of the way Microsoft originally wrote the program that it works as it does. Simple single thread concept designed for a single core PC type machine, envisaged to run faster and faster as per Moore's law to enable the relatively inefficient but good for the time physics and graphics to work. Compared to FS2004, it was a step forward, but it relied on an incremental improvement that didn't happen- instead PC design went multi core and GPU based graphical power. All the iterations of this original program have suffered as a result, and until the core program is completely redone always will. 

Hence it's like this. To get great performance, you have to step outside, use all the performance and benefits of the modern machines, then send the result back in at the end.

PMDG are actually pretty word not allowed good at this, which is why they get my money.
