Best plane ever. So smooth. So detailed and best performance. The sounds are amazing.
First touchdown felt amazing. I need to learn much about it though. I’m used to A320 at the moment.

Is the plane powered on?
Whats wrong with the wings … or is it me ?
Its a bit like a fish eye lens … like if the wings are stretched or something ??
I noticed this also on youtube vids .. but thought it had to do with recording or something.
Now i have it is looks off to me. I do jot have that with the CRJ for example
So here’s a question for folks generally: how long did it take for the plane to compile and load in the very first time you spawned in it?
For me, it was about 12 minutes, but with a caveat: I loaded up onto a parking place at the custom DWD Renton airport (KRNT) which ALWAYS takes a long time to load. The second time loading into the same airport with the same airframe and livery it was still 9 minutes. Tonight I plan to spawn the BBJ or cargo version into a less-intensive stock airport and then do it again for comparison.
Second attempt to fly it and it is just amazing.
The quality, the complexity, the PC performance, just amazing

I am having trouble finding a good sensitivity for my 737, it is way too sensitive on rudder and pitch. If anyone can help please respond.
Yes I find it much more sensitive than the other airliners I have but have no idea if that is accurate or not
Doing the compilation right now for all versions. Around 10-15 minutes. Stock airport.

For what it’s worth, I flew the 737 in a certified simulator and found it surprisingly sensitive to the inputs. Don’t want to offend anyone here, but you know the feeling of driving the largest available Mercedes van? It weighs tonnes fully loaded with stuff, but steers like a small car with one finger. I had the same feeling in the simulator. It’s an amazing and well balanced piece of technology. A true engineering miracle.
I’m just going to buy it to stimulate the development. Will take a while before I will fly it though. Still so much to learn in GA 
.
Peace to all of you

I’m still not getting an authentication code, but I am using an email from a German provider, which probably blocks PMDG (for whatever reason).
How can I get the system to send the authentication email to a different email address? When I click “Download Product” I get a window with a text field and the “Send authentication button” with my German email already filled out in the text field. But it won’t let me type in a different email address, the text field seems to be read-only.
Having same issue, tried re-mapping it didnt help
FMC does not capture and arm ILS Frequency from runway arrival input?
or is this a setting in setup maybe?
Working for me without any issues. Not sure what´s the exact problem, but two things come to mind:
-
Settings: there is an option to allow GS capturing only after LOC has been captured which can be turned off/on.
-
you need to dial in the ILS frequency into the NAV units on the center pedestral and the runway direction into the course unit on the main instrument panel. Just because it is shown in the FMS does not mean it will be used automatically (unlike an Airbus).

It’s pretty much the last actual aircraft left in the sky, where the pilot and machine are directly connected. No computers deciding if it’s happy with what you’re doing and deciding like Caligula if you can have a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
I miss flying it.

Is there a simbrief config for the aircraft for w+b or is everyone using a generic one from simbrief
Hi All,
I’m really enjoying the -700. There were a few of these that flew without the winglets–but I can’t seem to find an option to disable them. Is there such an option with the PMDG -700? Thanks
But I WANT IT – and I want it NOW !!
I want to fly it, but I don’t now HOW
I’m told to learn, but I don’t want to TRY
So I’ll throw a Tantrum, and just CRY
(Crying normally works with Mummy !!)
