Pmdg 737-800 Gsx
Charise Scrivner
Created by the most recognized and experienced team in desktop flight simulation, the PMDG 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is an incredibly detailed, feature rich simulation of the ubiquitous Boeing narrow body. Representing years of work to to leverage the very best that Microsoft Flight Simulator can offer, the PMDG 737-800 is the second installment in PMDG's simulation of the magnificent Boeing 737NG series.
All new models, entirely new textures, a completely new sound environment and tens of thousands of changes, adaptations, improvements and fixes, the PMDG 737-800 is the ultimate realization of flight simulation, forty years in the making.
I would like to fly my 737-800 transatlantic as I am running out of european routes to fly. I love the PMDG and would like to try some longer flights. I appreciate it depends on PAX load/Fuel etc however I would like some advice if possible?
To the OP you can certainly do something with a stop in Canda or maybe Bermuda? Iceland-NYC should be in the range. I have flown with the 737-700 Miami-Azore islands and back with no problem. But of course the 700 has a bit more range.
A few months ago, I easily did JFK to Heathrow in the PMDG 737-600 fully fueled with a very light load, simulating a VIP transport. Made it with plenty of fuel to spare. As someone above said, the part between Gander and Shannon gets a little dull for about four hours.
The PMDG 737-800 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a meticulously crafted simulation that embodies the essence of the Boeing 737-800, a widely recognized and esteemed aircraft in the aviation industry. Developed by PMDG, a team celebrated for their expertise in desktop flight simulation, this product marks a significant milestone in their Boeing 737NG series simulation. The PMDG 737-800 is distinguished by its comprehensive and detailed representation of the aircraft's systems, cockpit, and overall functionality, encapsulating years of dedicated work to exploit the advanced capabilities of Microsoft Flight Simulator. This dedication to authenticity and detail is evident in the accurate modeling of major and minor aircraft systems, the sophisticated simulation of onboard information systems, and the customized flight model augmented with enhanced physics, ensuring an immersive and realistic flight experience.
The add-on goes beyond the standard in-flight experience, offering a rich sound environment created using advanced sound recording and playback technologies. This sound package is based on recordings from a specially instrumented aircraft, resulting in a highly integrated sound environment encompassing both the exterior and the interior of the aircraft. The PMDG 737-800's attention to detail extends to the lighting, with both incandescent and LED lighting options available, complete with dimmable flight deck lights and annunciators. The virtual cockpit is a marvel of modern simulation, boasting ultra-high detail textures, sophisticated 3D rendering, and accurate reflective properties. The PMDG 737-800 package doesn't just include the passenger variant; it also comes with the Boeing Business Jet and the 737-800 BDSF & BCF freighter variants, each with detailed ground equipment sets, including passenger servicing and cargo handling vehicles.
I have a rotary switch connectected to a BU0386X (from Leo Bodnar) that I want to control the position of the Autobrake switch. It is detected as a joystick and I want to assign the 5 individual putton presses to the "Autobrake Set" in FSUIPC. I have set each button press parameters 0 through to 5. It seems I am doing something wrong as even when I restart FS2004 and load up my PMDG 737NG (800-900) it still will not work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Test it on the default 737 autobrake first. If it works on that but not the PMDG one it means PMDG have implemented their own system. You'd either need to find the keyboard shortcuts for it, if any, or possibly see if the new FSUIPC mouse macro" facility works on that switch.
i have tried also to set the autobrakes through fsuipc but with no success.i have tried everything to make it work and at one point nearly cracked it but nearlys not enough.i have tried offsetts which dont work and then macros which dont work but i have read something from a thread that you modify your macro and make it carry out decrements and increments as the switch on the main panel only increases or decreases.it doesnt recognise max 3 2 1 off and rto it just thinks decrease or increase so i read.wish i could just grasp it as i have been doing this for 4 days on and off but just cant see where i am going off.pete stated to apply it to the autobrake set which i tried but that didnt cure it either,i think thats the autobrake arm if i am correct.if you find a solution please let me know
The PMDG autobrake switch is a mouse-operated patch on screen. It recognises right and left turns from the left and right mouse buttons, not "RTO, off, 1, 2, 3, MAX", because the poor humble mouse has no way of saying such things. In order to set the autobrake, therefore, you really need just a two way self-centering switch or two buttons -- increment and decrement. To do a direct selection is probably possible but very messy, as I said, because you'd have to do several "lefts" to get it to a known place (RTO), then the correct number of "rights" to get it where you want it to go.
No, that AutoBrake Set sets the FS autobrake (not PMDG's) to the setting stated in the parameter. FS doesn't have anything called "autobrake arm" -- you are thinking of the speedbrake or spoilers.
There's no way I can help you with PMDG aircraft which don't use FS mechanisms. PMDG deliberately hid all of their mechanisms to stop folks doing what you want to do. I know some have cracked it, but they don't come here. You need to go to a cockpit builders Forum, such as those in MyCockpit, as I already suggested.
Neither. You never have to buy a new key unless changing to FSUIPC4 (for FSX). And you only ever have to re-enter the registration if you re-install Windows or move to another PC -- or accidentally delete your KEY file.
i have just formatted my pc to install fs9 stuff and i upgraded to fsuipc 3.98.problem is i looked through all emails and can't find the registration key.its bugging me so how can i regain it and from where.if i post my email could you supply it ,
I don't think FSUIPC registration keys arrive in emails these days. You just get them by opening your account in SimMarket. You can do that anytime. There's really no point in sending me stuff, i don't have the data except in exceptional circumstances. SimMarket handles it all.
I had the same problem with Autobrake to be control only by the mouse in PMDG 737-800. Yesterday I solved this problem with Autobrake and now I control it from throttle quadrant bottton. This can be done if You use CH Products throttle quadrant. I am not sure about Saitek.
Have to refresh this topic because I can't cope with autobrake in PMDG. I've read the posts above and I know that there's no possibility to assign rto,off,1,2,3,max settings to rotary knob (unless something has changed since). But the question is if there is a possibility to "tell" the starter rotary knob of saitek swich panel to move one position up or down? For example if I set the switch panel rotary knob on second position (L) before flight is loaded and then when i move the knob left (OFF) the PMDG knob also move left (RTO position). If i move the knob twice right then PMDG auto brake also move two positions right.
Sorry, I can't really help as I have neither PMDG aircraft nor Saitek controls. I would be surprised if Saitek were using a rotary encoder if there are fixed (notched) positions, so you should be able to assign. If it is truly an encoder and you can only detect up and down, then of course you could have a macro which did autobrake inc or dec.
why cant i turn the auto speed on. when i try putting the auto throttle on it wont do it and lil light flashs at first. no matter what i press it will not turn on. any 1 know how to do this and why it does it
If you look at the overhead panel. There are two switches in the middle of the screen just down from centre a little, and very slightly to the left. You need to turn these switches on and off, and it solves the problem. You should ideally do this every time as part of your preflight checks.
