It has been a blast flying this little beast into Midway.

I’ve just done it…

After enjoying the BAe-146 and enjoying the vor flying… I’ve gone to the dark side and brought the 737!!! I tried resisting so much!!
Question…

I’ve opened the operations center but it’s not opening… Just a blank screen with a OC2 server ping?

I’m using a gamepad and have my rudder mapped to the left and right trigger axis. For some reason on the 737 when I go full left or right rudder it snaps right back immediately even when I hold the trigger. Doesn’t do this on other planes. Is this a bug or a setting to adjust somewhere?

Crikey, this is a good airplane. At 1440p Ultra, I was getting 45 - 50 fps on the “non-factory” side of the custom Renton DWD KRNT scenery, and 58-60 fps in the cockpit, and pushing 70 fps in flight above 15,000’ in my “delivery” flight/tourist junket to sunny Las Vegas. I wanted to do Dallas Love Field but I’ve gotta get up early to work tomorrow and KLAS was about an hour less flying time, lol.

I have and it is so good. I don’t have the best setup, however It’s really good and the frame rates are nice as well. You will be very happy . If only MSFS would work on VR as a whole we will be in a very good place.
Good Luck

BIG DIFFERENCE when you pre order a game you get it on RELEASE DAY the PMDG was NOT a pre order but a full release. Take the fanboy glasses off and accept reality for what actually happened.

True, but that still doesn’t change the fact that they have issues in the delivery and we all had to wait. So it does feel like a preorder even if it isn’t. That being said, I’m sure everyone gets it already now. I’m not a fanboy since I haven’t purchased it yet. And I don’t think I’m planning to anyway.

The default zoom of the drone camera distorts the plane. You have to set to 85-100% zoom to eliminate that.

I’ve just purchased and downloaded the 737,

Everything opened all right in the game but the operations thing wont seem to start? It opens but it’s just a blank, blue screen with OC server ping down at the bottom

This. .PMDG Operations Center is not working. - PMDG Simulations

Worked for me :+1:

@Editer

Thanks … any clue how to set that exactly ( can i see the zoom lvl somehow ) and how to default ?

Can I move through the cabin? How do I do that? I’m guessing I have to set up the drone?

Yes I also had this. It starts flickering after takeoff,but when you zoom on it it goes away.

I don’t have the same smooth fps experience with the 737 as everyone else it seems. The GA planes are silky smooth but the PMDG products really tank my computer. The DC-6 is much worse than the 737 even.

I did spawn at Hartsfield-Jackson (handcrafted) so maybe that’s why the fps was so bad. I’ll give it another shot today at a smaller default airport. Once I was in the air the experience was much better.
