December 2, 20223 yr I have both PMDG B737 and 738 in the hangar, been flying them as long as PMDG been building them since 2003. Now this I cant resolve.. I have the UNITED,AMERICAN ,DELTA and SOUTHWEST liveries installed.No problems on any plane untill I load the SOUTHWEST 800, not the 700. On this plane only, I get no hydraulic pumps to operate thus no flaps or gear etc? If I load the same 738 with any of the other liveries...no problem. There is some flaw at least in my SWA 738 but I have no idea where to look or how to resolve this.I should probably bring this to the PMDG forum but I thought to start here first. Any thoughts?
December 2, 20223 yr I use the southwest airlines livery all the time with no issues. No outstanding maintenance issues on your FMC?

Check that the Hydraulic fluid is filled. I had this exact same thing, on some liveries this seems to be active.

December 2, 20223 yr Commercial Member this is active on all liveries. Whether you have failures enabled or not, it is required to keep topping up hydraulic fluid. It is a "gotcha" with the current PMDG releases that you need to keep on top of this, regardless of failure settings. all the best Jane - Jane Whittaker
