Is there the possibility to have cabin crew sounds?
Can you send me your settings? Because I have changed it but now if I give full power itâs idle and idle is full power.
Yes but separate if on Xbox. You would need a laptop or a tablet close by to play these announcements
Just toggle the reverse axis option on the mapping. Oddly itâs the other way around to the 0 to 100
I am on XBOX, in which way can I use a tablet?
It is a Windows application, in which way this is useful for an XBOX user with a tablet?
Download it onto your tablet - turn the volume up.
I donât have a Windows tablet, by the way thanks but the application is totally unuseful without a synchronization with the airplane. I donât want to start the audio during taxi and stop it when ready to takeoff, I will seem a totally idiot
Flight spoiling bugs:
1/ Flaps postion not displayed on PFD or MFD of any EFIS
2/ Spoilers getting stuck up
3/ Baro twist knob gets stuck and rolls down out of control unless clicking Y
4/ Odd load stations. Weight for FMC programming need to be calculated in lbs using calculator if sim is in kg.
5/ Throttles had to be remapped. Default A and B were only moving 1 engine
6/ All weights and fuel flows/quantities displayed in lbs and no option to change to kg
7/ VREF not on speed tape when selected for approach
8/ NAV data out of date and current SID/STARS waypoints missing leading to a different routing to the ATC expects.
9/ Inability to load-in MSFS flight plan to FMC
9 can be lived with if the FMC nav data is upto date with sim nav data
Sounds are fantastic though, especially if you have subwoofer with bass when power rolls back at top of descent. Engine whine during taxi also sounds very realistic. Cabin window views very nice also.
Still a patch needs to be forthcoming this week to fix these ridiculous errors that shouldâve been identified during testing - in particular the spoilers getting stuck upđ„Ž. How did testing overlook that?
Also needing the liveries especially Ryanair. I think it reasonable to expect that airports and other stuff can wait for important big-ticket stuff like this to take priority on Thursday. Coming up on 2 months this has been broken.
Some people said need to click service hydraulics and aircraft but failures are off anyway. Will take a look next time. Still flaps indicator should be displayed. Got an electrical hydraulics overheat too.
Summarily:
-
Expect liveries on the marketplace next week and the week after
-
-600 and -900 variants should be released on the marketplace by the end of July
-
Several small bug fix updates to come over the next few weeks
-
Good progress is being made on the EFB and 777

The 737 liveries are so late because they refused to even submit them to marketplace until the dc-6 ones had been approved.

Waiting for those repaintsâŠ
10 liveries for ÂŁ4.19, while PC owners get 10 times that for free. Anyone else feel like theyâre being fleeced? Weâve gone from trying to get them into the MP for free, to being charged âthe bare minimum permittedâ, to now having to pay, Captain Sim-style, for a series of packs containing just a handful of liveries each. Sorry, but no one can convince me that it wasnât possible to bundle them all together for a one-off fee of ÂŁ4.99âŠ
Iâm pretty disappointed in PMDG. Iâll have to buy at least one pack now but that wonât stop me feeling misled and somewhat cheated. Had they told us on day one that the entire package would cost Xbox users the best part of ÂŁ100, I may not have chosen to purchase.

Agreed. The cheek of them to split them into separate volumes.
Why arenât all included in one package?
On PC they are FREE!

Worse is that theyâre not region-specific so Iâll end up with several liveries I wonât ever fly!
To say Iâm not impressed is an understatement!

The Southwest is accurate from the screen that was posted above. the Bredock 727 SWA livery is inaccurate.
But ya, no bundle? During the summer sale? You would think if they bundled all of them theyâd make a lot more.
Can other companies make 737 liveries or is it just PMDG licensed to?
Freeware devs can apparently release liveries but PMDG wonât allow payware devs to profit from their work.
The cynic in me says this charging for liveries was the plan all along. I feel all the talk of trying to deliver them at the lowest cost possible was just disingenuous appeasement.

I was also waiting for the 737 600 which was supposedly going to be cheaper than the $70 737 700 and 800. Now Iâm not even interested if theyâre going to rip me off on these liveries.
Also, I see the liveries are listed by plane. So if I buy the Volume 1 for 737-700 does that mean I canât use it on a 737 800 if I own?
