I get exactly the same, have you found a solution? Approach into EDDW plate and screen show a left turn, PMDG NGX does a right turn away from the ILS??? Col.

After a week and quite a few hours in the Plane now i can only say WOW!!! What a plane its great! just needs few hours of reading first which is the mistake i made!

Sorry all I am being a nutter!Ran through the tutorials and everything worked fine, loaded FSPassengers and all went ** up, i suspect it is something to do with the weights and N1 settings going tonto. Great plane really enjoyed the flight from KSDF to KSRD via Vatsim I just have to work the weights in FSPX.Thanks all for the help.A quick question on the mach and speed indicator, when in VNAV and LNAV is it usual not to have any speed / mach number displayed on the MCP or have I turned something off by mistake AGAIN?Thanks once again.

Thanks for the response guys, I was letting VNav do the flying but had disable it becasue I don't like being a lawn dart, and was flicking between the two to see what the heck was going wrong, I don't doubt I need training but I am confused, I have been using the Wilco 737 for years and only recently went to PMDG 737, I realise these are different animals but in respect of VNAV and LNAV they are quite similar. I had entered the FMC as instructed both in the manuals and via numerous videos on YouTube and everything appears fine until the plane gets airborne.And the point about letting the aircraft do the speed is the problem I have, if I let the aircraft do the speed and select an altitude via the mcp, plus FL300 is set in the FMC even though N1 might say 92.5 it goes to 92.5 but does not climb. It might even level off and try and go back in time.The Mach has no bearing on climb or descent, it is just a measurement of the speed of sound, whether the MCP is in Mach or IAS should not effect the cruise / climb rate.

Pulled back on yoke to try and get some height and stop the plane going back in time! The distance between the airports should be fine it is KRFD and KSDF, so has a good distance between TOC and TOD with a FL of either 29 or 30.

Aircraft out of trim?

Help!!two things are happening that I have no idea why, I set the FMC as instructed, enter weights, V1 thru to VR, Full Route with a cruise altitude. When I get airborn I can arm the throttle but when i select LNAV LVL change, or VNAV the plane goes nose down and tries to go supersonic!! What am I doing wrong?I also see in the FMC from time to time Unable Cruz Alt, I have searched the documentation and Gogle away but nothing comes back for this. Oh and also I get a flashing A next to the selected speed which i believe is low speed unachievable??? Again not sure what I am doing wrong. please help a frustrated man!

thanks for the response, told you I was a muppet! :)

I am probably being a complete idiot but I cannot get the two pilot displays to look anything like I see all the pictures on You tube and here. I have twiddled the two selection knobs above the screens on the captains side and I can select different views but none of them give me a full inscreen (MFD) of either a compass, Horizontal horrizon includeing speed and altitude tape, moving map, it has on it an old looking speedometer on the left side, the no2 mfd has my plane position in middle and route (which i want to take up the whole screen, and it has about a third of the 2nd mfd taken up with two dials that overlap the route (Altitude and Climb/decent.Sure this does not make sense and you probably thinking ...what a moron! but Help. I cannot post a screen shot cos i am at work and would like an answer so i can see the cockpit screens in all their glory when I get home.RegardsCol.
