It just doesnt work. Native PMDG datalink simulation compatible with simBrief integration. You never have the feeling that something might not be right. For example : the landing gear warning horn sounds continuously if you are at flaps 15+ without the gear down. In this situation, the thrust should drop away almost immediately. At this point I do not want to enter into the tiresome discussion about different V-speeds, for instance between TOPCAT and FMC. There is one thing you simply have to realize today: Given the high memory requirements of complex simulations, youre simply better off with a 64-bit system because, as a rule, the address space is large enough in contrast to 32-bit systems, where you quickly reach the limits. Feb. 2018 um 9:58 Ursprnglich geschrieben von They are normally turned off for take-off (because they use bleed air which in turn reduces engine power) but have to be turned on after take-off, otherwise the cabin cannot be pressurized. And of course this entails that you need to obtain the necessary documents and work them through. The investment has been worthwhile; with very high display settings, MyTraffic, ActiveSkyEvolution and REX2 clouds, the PMDG flies absolutely fluidly at a Mega airport with a good 20+x fps; at the gate, frames may dip to 12-15 on occasion. Even more so if it takes place at your PC at home with a system that may have cost 1.700,- in a generous case and can only deliver a corresponding performance. In the case of the PMDG this applies to the convincing flight dynamics. PMDG gives their customers the good feeling of having bought a package that is very complete in terms of a serious Boeing 737 NG simulation. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. Ive had to wait a long time for this convenience the last payware product that offered this luxury was the Super 80 Pro by Coolsky/Flight1. PMDG recommends the use of a 64-bit operating system. It is very nicely done and deserves a very good rating. Add to this the effects on flight characteristics, systems, gauges, and so on and so on to tell the truth, I am amazed that a simulation of this depth and visual quality is even possible on a single PC. We do so because we feel that forums in which users must engage one another personally are generally warmer, more collegial and friendly. Press J to jump to the feed. Holger: When the BAe Jetstream was released, Robert Randazzo, the head of PMDG, wrote that there would be no more add-ons with 2D panels. But lets put the 737 to the test, Captain! Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Your engine bleeds aren't on. After starting engines set the top three switches to auto. Here at the Benzinger home, it is customary that I build a Revell model kit for every new FS add-on I buy and in this case, the PMDG model clearly beats it! Holger: Frank, who recently wrote the review for the DA-20 Katana, pointed out the cockpit crew animations to me. At least in normal conditions.The controllers are programmed and designed to never exceed maximum differential pressure between cabin and external air, this thing takes its part in the pressurization profile that controllers make when they know the desired crz altitude and landing altitude.Wrong data are only uncomfortable for passengers and crew.Different is for the manual mode where the pilot manually moves the valve.In this case there is only the overpressure protection wich will open the safety valves when maximum differential pressure is reached.There is no protection in manual if the airplane is de-pressurizing (except for the warning). Max landing altitude is 8400. Its enough to consider an engine failure at or shortly after V1 and the correct response to this problem. Whereas only a few months ago there was talk in forums and magazines about of a crisis of flight simulation, new developments are now coming thick and fast in the shape of high-quality releases. The directive applies to 9,315 Boeing 737 planes worldwide, including around 2,500 in the US. This is because, strangely enough, the throttle quadrant does not have its own 2D panel. They use entirely different methods of calculation and therefore cannot yield the same results. It has also been discussed in the PMDG forum. However, a few isolated but relevant problems will definitely still have to be fixed. No requests for links to similar sites like SimPlaza, 8. Driveable pushback tug. Along with the advice above, may I recommend Emi's YouTube channel, which is a wealth of great information on everything 737. Problem solved. The animations of the crew are great down to the smallest detail. We have already reviewed the product from iFly. Holger: The complexity is of course not restricted to the systems simulation but continues with the visual model. Obviously, George also has problems from time to time with leveling off exactly at a given altitude or predicting a descent point precisely. I probably wont even install the PMDG on my good old dual-core Vista 32-bit PC from Aldi (though other PMDG aircraft and even the FlightSimLabs Concorde run quite acceptably on it). Stefan: No, on the contrary: To start the engines, youhaveto switch to the VC to open the fuel valves. Be sure to click the "Show Signatures" box. Or if the FMC crashes completely because sloppily programmed clickspots cause me to flip the wrong switch on the overhead and power down the flight computers? After this review, we will write a comparison between PMDG and iFly. "A latent failure of both pressure switches could result in the loss of cabin altitude warning, which could delay flight crew recognition of a lack of cabin pressurization, and result in incapacitation of the flight crew due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss of control of the airplane," the agency said. In such conditions, a flow experience will never come about. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. The assessment of the flight envelope as a whole, however, delivers a very good result in my opinion. In general I do have to say that the FMC runs quite stably and without errors. Stefan: As a longtime model maker I can answer this with a clear and I admit slightly surprised yes. But they do occur: In the PMDG forums, more than a few customers have been puzzled by sudden crashes not crashes from the cruise flight levels but ones of a technical nature. Founder of AVSIM Online. The 2D panel concept has thus not been implemented completely, which I dont quite understand. Some of these crashes are even accompanied by a blue screen. On the one hand, the specific sound system has a strong influence. Numerous user configurable options from throughout the global 737 operator fleet. However, I have to deduct more than a few points for one of my favourite procedures, the automatic go-around. Message me if you would like to share stories/progress. It is, after all, more realistic in the end if all necessary instruments and systems are in plain view. Their failure could mean that cabin oxygen levels fall dangerously low, the FAA said. The following image shows an example of this that occurred with the SID RWY 28 ZUE 1V in LSZH. 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). There, I dont have these problems. Did you set your cruise altitude on the overhead? Firstly it's amazing!!! No, on the contrary: To start the engines, you. endobj 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. In the system requirements, PMDG even writes something about i5 processors .In my view, that should be considered a warning. But these are minor points, and moreover they depend on subjective perception. Customized sound package that leverages advanced sound recording and playback technology for incredible realism.

Here, at least, there are no wrong entries, but the procedures themselves are flown very imprecisely. Surprising, but its a fact. What use is the most detailed systems simulation if I have to click through three sub-panels in critical phases of flight with high workload? In the first few days after the release, there were also some slightly disappointed comments from time to time. Click here for more information and to see all donations year to date.

And at this point, I again need to make an important digression: As usual, I have read the whole spectrum of assessments in the PMDG forums from too sensitive to too sluggish. No jerkiness whatsoever! The auto/manual mode could cause this. Updated 737 options packages reflecting operational improvements and changes to the global 737 fleet. The depiction is clear and has very good performance within the limits of the available data after all these do come from the FSX terrain model. Full set of ground equipment for each aircraft type, including passenger servicing vehicles. 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. I suppose it is simply impossible to program a perfectly flawless FMC. PMDG Operations Center 2.0 for easy livery installation and ease of receiving free product updates from PMDG.

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? What is your take on the sound, Stefan? By default its at 10,000 and if your cruise level is going to be 35,000 feet for example you need to set it to that. Or if I adjust the bank limiter instead of the heading bug? There is a 12,000 foot mod. iFly released their Boeing 737 NG fleet only a few weeks ago, and we reviewed it here.
