Brief feedback after first flight
Hi Bryan Outstanding work as always Sir! I Have just taken the T7 for her first voyage with my virtual FO and it works just like it says on the back of the tin...perfect! If i may offer a little advice as to the next update....I'm a kiwi so naturally i was using the Aussie/Kiwi voice set (very nice by the way) :zeland-flag: but i noticed volume discrepancies between the two voices, the Capt comes over very clear but rather loud where as the kiwi FO is very quiet in comparison. Could it be possible to edit these voices so that they are in harmony with each other volume wise? oh and maybe.....just maybe could it be possible that when making a PA announcement could we please have the same sound effect on the voice just like the PA version on the Aerosoft Airbus X? (the sound effect of the captain making is PA address through the mic) i really liked that. But this maybe a recording thing with your voice artists rather than a editing effect. Any who, Round of applause for you my friend, well done indeed. Another happy customer

Floating jetway wheels?
Don't ask me where I found this because I can't remember but this fix does help. The bridge doesn't line up 100% plumb with the aircraft but it's a hell of a lot better than what your seeing now. On the Z coordinate in the Exits section of the aircraft.cfg file, change the 12.X whatever PMDG entered to an 8 and you'll be much more pleased with the vertical alignment. The jetways will no longer jump into and hang in mid air to meet the deck - they align pretty much right on (as far as appearances go).

Smoother Landings?
I should clarify on that. As you the pilot visually confirm crossing over the piano keys pull your levers to idle. This method works for me every time.

Smoother Landings?
My method and one which was taught to me during my CPL training. Passing the threshold bring back your throttles to idle and during the flare transition your eyes to the end of the runway. As the guys previously said not a lot of back pressure is required for the flare. And maybe it's a simulator thing for people who haven't flown in the real world but you shouldn't really be concentrating on your instruments during the flare. Sure a good instrument scan is always essential with a good 800fpm descent rate during your approach. I see these tactics and I guarantee your landings will improve. Good luck mate.

Anyone got a fix for the airbridge and 777?
Hi there Chaps. Has anyone come up with a fix for this issue?
-
Any updates on 744V2?
Wow......That was professional <_<

I'm really disappointed!

Flight deck side windows?- post 777
Wow....way to introduce a new chap into the forums lads <_< i mean seriously, its not that hard to be of kind nature is it? Welcome Juan! we aren't all savage dogs here. And just a heads up,it might pay to sign your name at the bottom of every post or incorporate into your signature. it keeps the wolves at bay B)- Release Date Contest
I'm placing my Money on a August release. i know the NGX was the first of the new technology but PMDG started showing preview photos early as Feb 2011 and a few demonstration videos soon after but testing dragged out the release right until August of that year. RSR's said that they "might" consider modeling the 200ER if testing dragged on. Not reading between the lines or anything (ok i kinda am ) that tells me there is some work left in the old girl yet before they are going to roll her out to the public, i don't mean to be rude but those of you who seem hopeful for release in the coming weeks/month....let me just put a large needle into that joyful yet unrealistic bubble you have there and i'll let ya down easy by taking you out for a brew, in fact i'm such a nice guy the first one's on me! :biggrin:- Thirsty for some 777 preview!
If you think this wait is bad you should have been around in June-July 2011....now that was intense! I remember Ryan locking topics Left Right & Center and Admins dishing out official warning to members loosing their cool. :lol: I think so far it seems very civilized but who knows, PMDG could be anywhere in the development spectrum so who knows this might end up getting out of hand and becoming another angry monster :LMAO:- What is PMDG brewing behind the scenes?
So in anticipation of the new T7 and 744V2 i recall the Capt mentioning they are on the cusp of developing something that is "revolutionary" Now please no need to flame me as im patient in waiting for these beautiful products but it has me scratching my chin on just what type of game changer they are making.... i find it fun to speculate on just whats going on behind close doors and it must be something very impressive as we haven't heard a peep for some time now. anyone care to take any pop shots at what this might be??? In any case its very exciting indeed! :rolleyes:- Are we in BETA?

- no sound through headset after v1.3 update
Hi all Just been searching through the forums for a fix but all the other suggestions don't seem to rectify the issue im having. After the v1.3 update ive lost the crew voice sounds through my usb headset. even tho i have usb headset selected with the cfg palnel and usb selected as voice within FSX sound settings. has anyone had this? or a possible fix? the sounds still play through my main speakers just fine but not the headset speakers. Thanks!- Huge fps drop over water
Ive been banging my head over this exact same ISSUE!!! if anyone has a fix for this then there's a 6pack of brews on me! :Just Kidding:- 737-700 will not climb past 4000ft?
Ryan i can see why your a valuable asset to the PMDG team ;-) Thankyou mate! fixed it straight away.- 737-700 will not climb past 4000ft?
Hi guys! Wondering if anyone can help me out with a issue i seem to have run into. last night i decided to do a quick defrag on my D: drive (this is where i have my FSX installed to) after doing so i went into FSX and booted up my A/C the PMDG 737-700 (without W/L) after takeoff i ran into a real problem. i couldn't get the bird past 4000ft! and it just couldn't reach its cruise speed. anything over 180kts is just to much of a struggle for her to get passed. i thought "huh thats strange?" so i tried changing the fuel load to 1/3 and the same with the payload but still no fix...and when the bird stops climbing it develops a very ugly nose over pitch as if she was incredibly light but blistering speed. im talking like 8 degrees nose down almost in level flight. ive uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck what so ever and its got me absolutely stumped! :Confused: Might i add if i ever try any of the other 737's they work no problem but the -700 seems corrupted. My FSX loads with the default trike and its running on a 64-bit machine just to get the technical parts out of the way. has anyone else come across this or who might have a fix? Thanks guys! much appreciated. EDIT: SP1c has also been installed.- MORE IMAGES OF THE 777 - FROM THE OUTSIDE!
Let's not forget the Air New Zealand -200ER? ;-)- Which PMDG 777 variants do you want the most?
My vote is for the 200ER dressed in the Air New Zealand Koru! I also hope & pray for enough sufficient interest so she can grace our desktops.- First Officer not completing 10,000 feet in climb flow
Sorry for the late reply chaps. As to all your replys except for Bryan, yes all checklists are completed and when I call flaps up and allow the first officer to clean up I run the after TO checklist which he happily does after that in the checklist menu bar the checklist flicks over to descent and stays that way. Never have I seen the '10k Climb' come up, always descent. I have set my A/C to always to load from the 2D from now on but am yet to do another flight as I'm back at work for the next 4 days pulling 12hr shifts so I'll see what the outcome is on he next days off.Cheers for the reply lads!- First Officer not completing 10,000 feet in climb flow
Hi there Bryan, just completed my second flight using FS2Crew voice commander and I'm LOVING IT! A bit overwhelming at first but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I have noticed that the FO doesn't turn off the landing lights or set the seatbelt sign to auto when climbing through 10,000 feet. Have I missed something here?- possible new FS platform/engine 'Outerra'
Hi There ChapsI came across this video from a few of the lads in my local FS Forum and boy oh boy is this platform shaping up to be a BEAUTY! As far as i know its in early Alpha at the moment with a demo released with minimal airfields and two aircraft. not to sure about how the flight physics/dynamics come into play with the engine....i assume some one would know more. But anyway could you imagine how INSANE this would look with a few PMDG aircraft thrown into the picture and HD weather! i think i would literally poop my self :(- I try to past test for virtual airline .
Yea i agree with the other chaps. All your answers can be found in the FCOM's (flight manual's that came with your Aircraft) But to be fair if you've flowen any PMDG product before then this should all be relatively straight forward just by browsing through the CDU. But none the less i wish you all the best with your test and have a Merry Christmas my friend! :(- If you want to participate in the MS Flight beta programm...
That I have Andrew but it still comes across as ludicrous I'm sorry. I'm not picking fights, just reminding people of the normality's of how people should communicate :-D - The big surprise
