The last few times I have attemted a long flight with my pmdg 747-400X, it has done the weirdest things. I have double checked my FMC and pre-flight setup to make sure everything is right. Read the manual and view several video tutorials . I started a flght from EHAM to KDEN. The first several hundred miles everything is fine, then all of the sudden the plane goes into a type of holding pattern. Then it will lose speed and stall out. I have to disendaged the autopilot and reset everything. It keeps flying around in a circle then stalling out. Anyone else experienced this? Windows 7, 64 bit, INtel Core i7 Processor, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB, 1TD Hard Drive, 8 GB DDR3 Memory.

I was trying to install the 800/900. I haven't even touched the 600/700.

I purchased the extended download purchase. Tried to reinstall PMDG 737 and I get this error, "The setup has detected that no version of pmdg 737 8900 NGX is installed. This update requires that a previous version of the application be installed." Where do I go from here?

In deleting the planes without winglets (never us them), I took off the entire PMDG 737 NGX. Probably not the smartest move, just trying to save some space on my computer. Anyway to my question, how do I reinstall PMDG?

I recently deleted the 737NGX w/out winglets set from my PMDG 737NGX set. My plan was to save space by keeping the 737-800 & -900 only with the winglets. When I opened FSX and went to 'Select Aircraft' I noticed my entire PMDG download was gone. How do I a) Redownload the 737 NGX from the PMDG site asa my download URL has expired? or B) Get the winglets versions to show when I go to the 'Select Aircraft'? Thanks.

I have the same problem. No callouts during my decents, also no bells during tests.

Well, I did it. I had a pretty decent landing. Turned off autopilot 6 nm out. Took getting used to and involved a go around due to the fact I forgot to turn of the auto throttle (with all the excitement). The pitch wheel doesnt respond well at all. Easier with autopilot panel. Bjoern, thanks for the help!

I'm looking at the autopilot, did you mean go from NAV LOC to AUTO G/S or MAN G/S on approach?

Thanks, I 'll give it a shot tonite. I'll followup if I have any further questions.

I have recently downloaded the old school 727-200 & -100 from Thomas Ruth (who has some amazing planes). As I was flying the Braniff 727-200 the other day from KDFW to MMMX, I was unable to find a switch on the Autopilot that would control the climb and decent rate ft per minute (ie 1800, -1200). Did those pilots from the 60's, 70's and 80's have to fly to say 30, 000 ft then set the altitude to hold or is there a way to use the auto pilot to control the climb and decent? . Also what about the approach and landing with the ils on the autopilot? Any information would be useful. Thanks. PS. I would rather not install an autopilot that would be similar to a plane like the 737-800. I'd like to fly this plane proper.
