PMDG 737 0.00.33
INTRODUCTION
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE NOVEMBER 2022
The mouse wheel isn’t working on certain knobs:
There is no mouse-wheel operation on the bank limiter, BARO or MINS
knobs: they were made operable only with left/right mouse clicks on
purpose to save you from accidentally triggering them while spinning their
inner knobs with your mouse-wheel.
I get a NAV DATA OUT OF DATE message on the CDU:
The navigation data included with the PMDG 737 is provided by
Navigraph and up to date at the time of release. (November 2019, the
AIRAC 1911 cycle) After this cycle expires in early December 2019, you
will have to upgrade for a small fee if you wish to maintain up to date real
world navigation data.
This data can be purchased here:
http://www.navigraph.com/FmsData.aspx
If you don’t care about having current data and just want to remove the
NAV DATA OUT OF DATE message, you can open the file fmc_ident.txt,
located at <MSFS root> \Packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\NavData and
edit the third line - OpProgram= JAN05FEB01/19- to read a different date
range that will not trigger the message.
I see a large mass of TCAS targets on the ND around an
airport on the ground:
This is caused by the way vehicles are simulated in ground support
addons like GSX and AES (theyre “aircraft” objects virtually). This should
not occur unless you have increased the TCAS range settings in the
options beyond what is realistic.
I have service based failures on but nothing ever happens:
Modern jet aircraft are extremely reliable, and most airline pilots will go
through their entire careers without having a serious failure incident on
their airplane. The data that the service based failures feature was
created with reflects this these are rare events.
We recognize however that most simmers probably don’t have a lifetime
to spend waiting for that one-in-ten-million engine failure at V1, so to
improve upon the original way this feature was implemented in the PMDG
737, we’ve created a rate multiplier function that will essentially accelerate
the aging of the various parts on the aircraft to give you failures more
frequently.
