Holger: Oski, you fly with a multi-monitor setup, right? Maybe even too precisely? Holger: I bought a new computer only three weeks ago. It just doesnt work. However, a few isolated but relevant problems will definitely still have to be fixed. If this is your first visit, be sure to
If everything is set correctly, there should be duct pressure in the gauges. The directive includes the 737 Max. All of this runs under Win7 64-bit. I dont think much of the superlatives that are so commonly used today. But it is also the add-on that has had to contend with the highest level of expectations. But please give PMDG a bit of time its not even two weeks since the release yet. I checked failiures since i just wanted a routine flight and there was none, however it the horn was sounding. The only other thing I see is that you have the flight level pressure set to FL250 and you are at FL260. PMDGs customized, flight model with enhanced physics augmentation. PMDG Operations Center 2.0 for easy livery installation and ease of receiving free product updates from PMDG. Made me wish I had already migrated to FSX. Here's an adaptation of a two pilot job for the sim: 1. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. What is your impression of flying the Bobby? After all, an uh-oh is something no one wants to experience. It seems like this was achieved some other way All times are GMT. Where can I find HGS Settings to setup the approach? What is clear, though, is that even the NGX is not immune to such errors. Holger: I always enjoy it when an add-on surprises me. We got to discussing the behaviour of the autopilot in good Flight Simulator add-ons and real aircraft. After further investigation and analysis, however, the airplane manufacturer and the FAA concluded in May that "the failure rate of both switches is much higher than initially estimated, and therefore does pose a safety issue.". NOW WATCH: Why in-flight WiFi is so slow and expensive, Amazon's Prime Air drone delivery team has had higher turnover than the rest of the company as launch delays and internal tensions roil the division. Posted January 8, 2012. Doesnt seem that hard. Tim HeptinstallAirports I have been to: Doncaster Robin Hood Airport EGCN, East Midlands (EGNX), Manchester (EGCC), Tenerife South/Reina Sofia Airport (GCTS), Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV), New York John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK)Aircraft I have travelled on: 737-800 (Thomson), 737-800WL (Thomson, Ryanair), 757-200 (Thomson, Thomas Cook), 757-200WL (Thomson, Thomas Cook, American Airlines), De Havilland Dragon Rapide (Classic Wings G-AIYR). And this is indeed the case! The commitment that this requires in terms of cost and time should not be underestimated. PMDGs product philosophy aims not only to deliver a realistic airliner implementation but also to offer corresponding accessories. Nothing to do with the ALT horn going off Paul.The horn will sound if the Cabin Altitude reaches 10,000.That would rarely happen in the RW.Fred. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, is there a way to turn off this warning/alarm? pmdg 737-600 cabin altitude warning. I just muted the game tho and carried on unpressurized . Do this by clicking the username pull-down at the top right, then selecting "User Settings." There is always something that hums, buzzes or beeps. Is the first impression misleading? In the first few days after the release, there were also some slightly disappointed comments from time to time. No discussion about filehosters (including slow download speeds, broken/missing links & torrents in general), 5. Also your yaw damper is off, turn that on on the ground. Cant seem to find anything other than the P3D one, This alarm is not the AP disconnect, it's different. Would be nice if the plane could tell you on a PFD. There is no external tool for this, everything can be configured directly from the Flight Simulator session. As I have already indicated, the visuals of the 737 NG exterior model are as a whole correct and feature many details. As a result of this, the A pillar in these airplanes is more inclined, and the bulge does not remind me as much of the nose of my former Latin teacher as the one in the PMDG. From the extension of the flaps to the wing flex on takeoff! Having the isolation valve in open instead of auto certainly wouldn't do it; neither would climbing 1,000ft above your set cruise altitude. Here, again, the fact is that we are not sitting in a Level D simulator but in front of a screen and those are two principally different worlds. No jerkiness whatsoever! Virtual cockpit model, with ultra high detail textures, 3D rendering and reflective properties. What is that sound for and how do I fix it/turn it off? When I cant fix those I take out my headphones and just make a vroom sound to keep up the immersion. endobj
Also make sure ALTN is set to AUTO not MAN. Just two questions: what do T/C and T/D mean in the plan map? The systems simulation adds substantially to the hours of enjoyable flying. Its available on the developers own store and Orbx Central for $28.95 and comes with the following features. Here, the developers blundered!

Holger: Can you give an example of a particularly well-implemented complex workflow that is possible with the PMDG aircraft if you exploit it to its full potential? But I dont want to overstress this. You will never be able to learn to fly using a computer simulation, but you can certainly operate a B737 using correct systems procedures this add-on proves that beyond a doubt. available from Boeing. Our reviewers Oskar Wagner, Dr. Stefan Benzinger und Holger Kistermann have taken a closer look at the Boeing 737-800 / -900. If this is your first visit, be sure to
Stefan: To me, personally, the interaction concept of a panel is one of the topmost quality aspects of an aircraft add on. Not entirely sure why, is that a return flight? The hydraulic cylinders of the slaps and flaps are also modelled in 3D. Look for "Edit Post Signature." Under the FAA's order on Thursday, operators have to inspect the switches every 2,000 flight hours, compared with the current 6,000 hours. Most simmers aren't messing with that switch, I would guess. You didn't set the bleeds and/or packs correctly after your engine start. Work through that section of the checklist again on your next flight. Hav Highly integrated exterior, interior cabin and flight deck sound environments. The animations of the crew are great down to the smallest detail. In the real world, after all, engineers go to incredible lengths to create a human-machine interface that is as optimal as possible this is true in many fields, but particularly in aviation. PMDG recommends the use of a 64-bit operating system. Upload New File; Discussion. Should steel brakes or carbon brakes be simulated? A marketing and sales director in real life, he is also a beta tester and project consultant and has been with simFlight for ages. 4 0 obj
To date, PMDG has not necessarily been known for eye candy; an accurate rating for the external models of previous years might be solid work. If there is something to find fault with in comparison with a real autopilot it would be that turns are sometimes initiated a bit harshly in normal LNAV cruise. I had something similar happen today, it was a pressurization problem. Yes, MLD Scenery develops payware products for sale at SIMMARKET https://secure.simmarket.com/mld-sc, when is this gonna be launched, it is gonna cost money? Free customer support both at our customer forum and directly from our support team if necessary. Did you set your cruise altitude on the overhead? Your cabin altitude is 13000ft. It issued a directive ordering that airlines check them for faults. You will become aware of many details you would not previously have paid attention to. Another example: The elevators have trim tabs with their own animations at extreme deflections, they move in opposite directions. Driveable pushback tug. I dont know. And if the nitpickers now go searching for non-functional switches or panels, they will quickly find something in this area: The radar image, which can also be overlaid on the ND, does not exist. PMDG has managed to implement a very exact simulation of the Boeing 737 NG for FSX that does not leave much to be desired. To guarantee some ahhhs and ohhhs from the FSX community, PMDG has collaborated closely with Boeing. The one question that remains is about the reviewers choice. Special mention should be given to the lighting of the exterior model: The position lights that reflect of the ground just look great! Very informative review. This review was originally published in German on our sister site www.simflight.de and has been kindly translated by Martin Boehme. But these are minor points, and moreover they depend on subjective perception. At this point I do not want to enter into the tiresome discussion about different V-speeds, for instance between TOPCAT and FMC. <>>>
I'm not up to speed on the pneumatic system as I'm not a 737 pilot IRL, but I suspect this is because you have the isolation valve set to open instead of auto. The directive applies to 9,315 Boeing 737 planes worldwide, including around 2,500 in the US. Posts that are unsigned will be quietly removed without comment by the moderators, so to make your life easy- we recommend enabling your forum signature so that you never need to remember. We do so because we feel that forums in which users must engage one another personally are generally warmer, more collegial and friendly. Well, in direct comparison with other 737 NG implementations I have to say that overall, the VC in those implementations is noticeably lower, making the view through the forward window less high and wider. In the final evaluation, though, my opinion is that the NGX is still comparable to other complex aircraft add-ons. Holger: The complexity is of course not restricted to the systems simulation but continues with the visual model. All references in the article lead to the original articles in German. In the beginning, the acoustic backdrop seemed almost too loud to me, but if I hark back to the pre-9/11 era I recall that various airliner cockpit visits at the time really left a similar impression on me. PMDG Simulations Official youTube content to aide new PMDG 737 pilots in getting the most from their purchase. Holger: I recently talked to a flightsim-crazy airline pilot it might even have been you, Oski. Your engine bleeds aren't on. Holger: Complexity is a term that is hard to define precisely in virtual aviation. !v2c6a=`JK\"@ O)g]BjesUb*P8z:^PHoFs\m)?)ne'k&! Have fun! Oski, how does the NGX run for you? and much much more! Exterior values: Model, performance, and sound, First impressions count, as they say. Almost makes me want to run out and make the purchase, but my i5 and 3gb ram and windows xp may not be able to keep up. Do you have a link to the manual? Numerous user configurable options from throughout the global 737 operator fleet. WebPMDG Failure Name in FMC: PRESSURIZATION -> PRESSURE HULL INTEGRITY Note 1: Trigger this failure above 14,000 feet Note 2: The Cabin Altitude warning horn is your No doubt there will always be some room for discussion whether the trim sound, say, is too quiet or whether the spoiler extension on landing sounds quite so or a bit different. Non related things I saw : Your off schedule descent is telling you, you never reached that altitude. The image galleries on airliners.net dont really help either, because many of the images have been post-processed and stretched.
