Marshall Priceman

Afternoon guys I have been using FS2 Crew PMDG 737 and find it really useful, really improves the experience. However since I have been using the software I can not get the system to move on after the following instruction, landing gear I reply down then it asks for flaps (may be its my response here that is causing the problem as I say "check" what should I say to move forward to "3 greens" The other issue is when I come to secure checklist, nothing happens, it should ask IRS's I should say off etc but I have yet to move this forward. Sorry to rattle on, any help would be appreciated Marshall

It was the free version of Avast, been doing some test flights still getting the odd stutter but nothing at this stage to get concerned with

Think I have sorted it, I have gone into the anti virus set up and isolated FSX, at the moment it seems to have sorted the problem

Evening guys I have started to encounter problems with my PMDG 737. In flight the plane stops for 5/6 seconds then the blue circle starts (as if the system was going to crash) then comes back to "life" I have re-installed the PMDG however still having the same problems. I have tried alternative aircraft both default and add-on and they perform ok. I am now really stuck as I do not believe re-installing FSX will make any difference. FYI currently running Windows 7 with a brand new Nvidea GTX 460. Any help would be appreciated Marshall Priceman

Upgraded to Windows 8 pro and I get this error (FS2Crew Grammer resource file) I have changed to English US but still the error message. Can anyone help Marshall

Thanks for all the support did a trip today and everything worked well must have made a "school boy error" last time however with the detail you guys have supplied should be able to highlight the problem

I have been flying the PMDG 737 NGX since release and have never had any real issues until today. As usual completed all the relevant set up took off from EGPF runaway 23 and the autopilot would not engage. I have had situations when it has taken a bit of time for the CMD to "light up" however today I did not want to know, after 15min I gave up. Has anybody got any ideas what the problem was?

Yes I downloaded from PMDG web site. I also have a colleague who has the same problem

Afternoon guys My FS2 Crew voice software works very well with my PMDG 737-800 with British Airways livery on however when I change my planes livery to Thomson (same plane) i encounter the SDK error. Based on some instructions I have seen I have to remove some config files in the PMDG Aircraft folder reset FSX and "bobs your uncle". This at times becomes a pain as it usually resets back to my default airport and I have to start the process again. I suppose my question is there a fix for this or is it something we have to live with? Any help would be appreciated Regards Marshall Priceman

Thanks for the advice, I have never had reason to take a pic but at least I know how for next time. As far as the original posting goes I have had time to reflect and still feel agrieved that someone can make assumptions without knowing the facts. I also agree that people using pirate software deserve everything they get. There are enough politics going in, do we need to see it in this forum. For those of your that posted a reply i really appreciate your help. I will delete the CFG and see if that helps Regards Marshall Priceman

I would be very careful making comments like you have made. It's not an illegal copy, and I am only asking for help. My name is Marshall Priceman. What difference does it make how you take the picture!!!!!!! It's people like you that ruin our hobby you obviously have issues mate

Please take a look at the attached photo. On approach to EGLL the textures start to turn blue (just like you are crossing a lake) however this lake "follows you". its just started to happen, not sure why. I have VFR scenery on however this has been on for a number of months without any problems. Not sure if there is a link however my AGX software (similar to Airport Enhancement) has also started to play up an example the follow me truck shows only the driver no truck surrounding him, he is sat in mid air. Any help would be much appreciated Marsh

I have a strange effect on my PMDG, the singlet lights appear in midair 4cm from the singlet, this is on both sides. The (red light that flashes on the belly of the aircraft) is also in midair about 1 cm below. I know it's difficult without a pic however has anybody got and ideas? I have strobe lights using 3D lights Redux and have changed the aircraft CFG to insert some text not sure if that has anything todo with it. Any help would be much appreciated Marshall

Thanks guys much appreciated

Not sure what the problem is. When I load my 737-800 winglets in Thomson livery I have no problems with any unusual shape on top of my plane (saycer shaped object) however due to a problem with FS2 crew I have to reset so I do not get an SDK error. When I reset and the plane loads I get this strange object on top of the plane........any ideas?

Guys I would like to fly my 737-800 transatlantic as I am running out of european routes to fly. I love the PMDG and would like to try some longer flights. I appreciate it depends on PAX load/Fuel etc however I would like some advice if possible? Regards Marsh

Yes I am aware of that good job I'm not doing in real life then!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply on my way to Manchester from Tenerife, I suppose I will need to be brave and do a manual landing, all adds to the fun :)

I accidentally disengaged the autopilot and have had a few problems regaining control of the auto pilot.Once I was in steady flight I managed to engage CMD B and not A. Could anybody advise me of how I can renegade CMD A

Thanks very much for all your advice the caliberation seems to have helped. After lots of reading I think it me be worth thinking about buying a registered version of FSUIPC, any views?

I have been flying the above plane for a number of months and have had no real problems however that has changed recently. In mid flight (in the cruise) the plane lurches to the left for some reason. Payload and fuel seems to be ok as far as balance goes and have disabled winds aloft in Active Sky 2012. Can anybody think of a reason why this is happening, I am no expert so i suppose I could be doing something wrong!!!!!! Not sure if this is then causing the plane to be adrift on the flight planRegardsMarshall Priceman

Have been flying the PMDG since it came out and have been doing the same things from a cold and dark start point of view without any problems with the FMC. I connect external power/battery which brings the plane to life which should enable me to get into the FMC but as I have said it will not respond. Not sure why this is the case.

I have put on the latest update and everything is working apart from the FMC. When I start from Cold and Dark I click on the FMC menu button for a couple of seconds and the FMC comes alive. The PMDG and FS Action switches all work as wll as the number and letter pad however everything else does not. the FMC icon on the L1 is highlighted but does not work when you push on it as well as ACARS AND DFDAU. I can not do anything as I need to get in the FMC. To also add when you start with engines running the FMC works in full, it just seems to be the Cold and Dark saved panel.any help would be appreciatedMarshall

In my time I have used Navigator for FS9 recently FS Commander. I had heard a lot about EFB and decided to take the plunge. As somebody has said you get 1 month trial which sold it to me. Agreat piece of kit, a "one stop shop shop" you have everything you need and I did not find it difficult to network using simconect.
