Oh right, thanks very much Jim.

Hi I just bought ( March 18 2015) the latest version of the PMDG 737NGX 800-900 for installation on FSX Steam version. The product install seemed to go ok but when I launch FSX Steam there are only the standard 737 800 and 737 900 versions showing, NO versions with winglets. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated Cheers Neil B

Thanks Guys

Hi everyone, I just bought a new Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with quadrant and rudder pedals. I have been using my Saitek X52 pro sytem up until now but wanted something a bit better for FSX airliners. I use my X52 for combat flying. My issue is that when I went to load the drivers etc for the yoke onto my computer it detected another saitek product (The X52) and said it had to uninstall that product to install the flight yoke. I still want to keep the X52 for combat but want to also have the flight yoke for Fsx.. I have heard of people being able to configure both an Saitek X52 and a Saitek pro flight yoke together so that they dont have conflicting saitek software/drivers etc and the x52 throttle can be used as a throttle and the yoke quadrant can be used for other things like spoilers, landing gear etc.. It would also be great to have the extra hat switches and buttons on the X52 as the yoke only has a limited number. So my question is does anyone know how to configure these two great devices together.. I have searched everywhere I can think of for answers but just cannot get any info on this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Cheers Neil B

Thanks Guys. I will try ADE cheers Neil B

Hi, I am pretty new to simming and cant figure out where my airport static aircraft have gone. I took off from LFPG Paris and landed at EGKK Gatwick and there were not even default static aircraft at either airport. I have my FSX setting (TRAFFIC) set to (Aviation traffic) Airline traffic density (%) 61, General aviation traffic density (%) 61 and Airport vehicle density: Medium. I am sure I must be doing something wrong but dont know what. Just wanted to get some static aircraft on airports to enhance my airport experience. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Neil Bishop

Apologies Downscc will put full name. Hi Gary I will post full route + sid/star/trans this weekend when I get back home. Thanks for the help guys. Cheers Neil Bishop

Yup... was in vnav/lnav flaps correct as was landing ref flaps and speed.. confirmed in FMC... radio set 400ft (LFPG 395ft I think :() anyway the setup looked perfect. I do read the manual.... Other than this little hickup...... I love this 777 it just seems...powerful.

Hi, I bought the PMDG 777 a few days ago and have had 2 instances of strange behavior on approaches. The first time was an approach to LFPG (Paris Charles De Gaul) Runway 26R ILS 109.10/266. Had flown a short flight from Zurich and all was well till 10NM from touchdown. Once on approach path 266 I selected LOC to capture the localiser and suddenly I got an FMC message 'Descent path deleted' I got a bit of a shock as my aircraft started to climb rapidly. I disengaged AP and Auto thrust and landed the aircraft manually. Anyway I though I would try again selecting a different runway today ..so took off from Zurich again ..no issues on flight till.. you know it... lined up perfectly om 27L 110.70/266 and once again selected LOC to capture localiser... being ready this time I wasnt suprised to get a ''Descent path deleted" notice from the FMC again.... Aircraft started to climb to my missed approach altitude...This time though I reset speed and altitude in the fmc and then selected APP after the glide slope came alive and the aircraft descended along the glide slope .. however at 500ft my I got a notice on my main display 'no autoland ' or something like 'autoland not available'.(was a bit busy so not sure what the exact message was sry).. no problem though the aircraft put me nicely on the runway but of course no flair or rollout. I was wondering if its me just not setting up correctly (which is the most likely senario) or wether there is a bug in the 777. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way did the first 777 PMDG tutorial to Dubai with no descent or approach problems. Cheers NB

Hi Howard, when you purchased ASN you should have received an email with the serial/licence number. Check your emails and spam folder. If you cant find it go back to the place you purchased it from (e.g. PC Aviator etc) and submit a support ticket I am sure they will be able to help you. Cheers NB

Thanks BB much appreciated. Cheers NB

Hi I have just retired from working and taken up FSX which I am loving. However I am a bit confused (comes with old age lol) about what to select in FSX free flight regarding the weather. I have REX4 and Active Sky Next which are both great.. however when it comes time to select the weather I dont know wether I should choose 'Active Sky Next Theme' or REX4 in the selection choice. I set up my route in ASN then minimise it and open FSX. Choose plane (PMDG 777 or 737 800 NGX), Choose airport, choose time ...but then the weather choice always confuses me. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Cheers Neil B

Great thank you guys

Hi, I am very interested in purchasing several PMDG aircraft e.g. 737-800NGX, 747-8X and 777-200LR (and maybe MD-11) however I believe that with PMDG I cannot change the liveries to a custom livery for my virtual airline. At the moment I have my custom livery on my default aircraft but obviously they lack the instrumental sophistication of the PMDG's. I have flown the PMDG 737-800NGX on my buddies computer and really love it.....but my stummbling block is that I want my own liveries on my aircraft. Is there any way I can customise PMDG aircraft once I purchase them. I am very familiar with Photoshop/DXT etc. Thank you in advance NB
