Now that I have the UFT and my Navigraph/SimBrief set-up, from here on out can I do all the data downloads right from the FMC? Route, Fuel, Payload and Descent forecast? Or do I have to got to the UFT first to download from SimBrief, then continue from there in the FMC? Thanks for any fine points procedure-wise, as it already works/just looking for the most direct path.
You need to go to the UFT first and import the data from Simbrief.

I am now on the latest market place version of the PMDG B738, and I have encountered a new problem. I can no longer hear the dialogue between pilot and push back tug after requesting a push back (the stuff like âset parking brake pleaseâ etc.) What changed in the latest version? Is it that I must now turn up a volume button on the coms panel? If so, which one? Thanks!
That sounds like a GSX issue. Double check your GSX audio settings and if needed try changing them to a different output, applying, then setting them back. That issue isnât related to the 737.
I donât use GSX, this is just the PMDG-internal pushback service. I also noticed that I seem to have lost all Randazzo-recorded voices, such as the call-outs âairspeed aliveâ, 80 knots, V1, rotate. Very strangeâŠ
The V speed callouts during takeoff are part of the options you can set in the FMC. I donât use the stock pushback so I donât recall if audio for that is one of those options or not.
Speaking of dialog, after youâve pushed back, what is the ??? word from the ground crew? âSteering pin is pulled, watch for the ??? release on your right, have a good flight.â
My bad, GSX has very similar ground crew audio and Iâve seen people mention recently they had issues with no ground crew audio. Made an assumption that was your issue as well with the 737.
Interesting you lost it with this latest version. I lost it several versions ago and donât know how to bring it back, either.
Signal.
Before we configuring the airplane for taxi we must get visual confirmation from the pushback crew (tug/towbar, pin, headset and hand signal). They usually hold the pin in one hand and give us a thumbs up.

Thank you. I do read, but I had not recalled that was a selectable option.
It probably was reset when I had to delete my custom states due to issues.
Thanks for your responses. Several people have advised me to check all the callout settings and the voice setting. Just to restate me problem: since the last update (last Thursday on marketplace) I have lost all Randazzo recordings, such as speed call outs and pushback exchange. I have now double checked all the settings, all call outs are still turned on. On the pushback page, where in your case it says âComms Voiceâ, mine only says âCommsâ, and it doesnât let me click on it to change that setting.
Anyway, not the end of the world, but if someone else encounters the same problem, maybe we can figure it out.

This is probably something you could bring up to PMDG in a support ticket. If it ends up actually being a bug of some sort theyâd probably want to know, and if itâs not Iâm sure they could probably help resolve it.

I am seeing the same issue here.
EDIT:
I even deleted both of the related 737 directories with in the various
..\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\folders and deleted and restalled the -600 and -700 from the Content Manager and I still have no option to enable COMMS.
EDIT2:
I removed all Community folder and OneStore content other than Deluxe, Premium, WUs, CUs, Top Gun and Red Bull content and the issue still persists.
Opening Ticket at PMDGâŠ

@PathlessSpore60 While PMDG havenât responded re: the missing âVOICEâ label under COMMS, I believe I have found the reason for the lack of voice cues â Headphone Simulation set to ON.
If I toggle that OFF, I hear the communications.
If I toggle it back ON, I no longer hear the communications.
Iâll update my Ticket with PMDG to inform them of this.

That would make sense, I just recently turned Headphone Simulation on. Nice discovery!

Strange engine problem. Edit: Solved! In post #37
I always follow the correct procedure when starting the B-737 from cold / dark for takeoff. Well, in any case I manage(d) to start both engines.
Since a couple of days my right engine wonât start while the left engine starts without problems.
Am I missing something? I canât recall changing any of the PMDG settings (I usually donât touch these).
Thanks in advance for your tips
