PMDG Forum Rules

1) SIGN YOUR POSTS. Since 1997, we have asked users to sign their real name, first and last, to all posts in the PMDG forum. We do this in order to keep conversations personal and familiar. You took the time to be here, we want to get to know you. This is one of the few rigid rules that we enforce regularly. We do so because we feel that forums in which users must engage one another personally are generally warmer, more collegial and friendly. Posts that are unsigned will be quietly removed without comment by the moderators, so to make your life easy- we recommend enabling your forum signature so that you never need to remember. Do this by clicking the username pull-down at the top right, then selecting "User Settings." You will find the signature editor on the ACCOUNT tab, about half way down the page. Look for "Edit Post Signature." Be sure to click the "Show Signatures" box.

2) BE NICE. We are all simmers here and no matter our differences of opinion, we share a common love of aviation, computing and simulation. Treat everyone else in the forum with respect even when you disagree. If someone frustrates you, walk away from the conversation or ask for a moderator to get involved. Speaking of Moderators, they prefer not to be treated as "The Thought Police" but if any behavior infringes on the enjoyment of another user or is otherwise considered to be unacceptable in the moderator's judgment, it will be addressed in keeping with our view of ensuring that this forum remains a healthy environment for all simmers.

3) BE LAWFUL: Any behavior that infringes upon the law, such as discussion or solicitation of piracy, threats, intimidation or abuse will be handled unsympathetically by the moderators. Threats and intimidation may, at the moderator's discretion, be provided to law enforcement for handling.

4) BE FACTUAL: When you post, always be factual. Moderators will remove posts that are determined not to be factually accurate.

5) RESPECT COPYRIGHTS: Posting of copyrighted material such as flight manuals owned by Boeing or various airlines is not allowed in this forum. If you have questions related to copyrighted material, please contact a forum moderator for clarification.

6) RESPECT PMDG: We love to hear what you like about our products. We also like to hear what you think can be improved, or what isn't working. Please do tell us and we will always treat your feedback with value. Just be sure to treat the team respectfully, as they do put a significant amount of effort into building and maintaining these great simulation products for you.

7) RESPECT PMDG DEVELOPERS: All of the developers will spend some time here. Given the ratio of developers-to-users, it simply isn't possible for us to answer every post and private message individually. Please know that we do try to read everything, but developer workload is simply too high to manage personal contact with tens-of-thousands of users simultaneously. In most cases, members of the development team will stick to conversations in the forum and will not answer private messages.

8) RESPECT OTHER DEVELOPERS: PMDG has always advocated for a strong development community and we have many friends within this community. Every developer offers something unique that helps to make the simming community larger and more vibrant. We insist that you treat our friends respectfully.

9) RESPECT MODERATORS: Moderators have a tough job, and none of them enjoy having to stomp out negativity. If a moderator has to weigh in to keep a thread peaceful, please respect that effort and refrain from giving the moderator any grief.

10) If you require official support for any of our products please open a support ticket through the support portal, https://support.precisionmanuals.com

11) This forum is designed primarily as a vehicle for the PMDG development team to interact with our customers, and for customers to interact with one another in a manner that is positive, supportive and assists in the general advancement of understanding the simulation and helping to make this and future simulations better. Any other use of this forum is not permitted, including but not limited to discussion of pricing policies, business practices, forum moderating policies, advertising of non-PMDG products, promotion of events, services or products that are not approved in advance by PMDG or any other topic deemed unacceptable by any forum administrator

12) HAVE FUN: This is the whole point of it all.

    Could not get plane to move after landing

    I did a landing and after stopping, could not move forward again. I did a full stop, flaps up autobrake off. I did push on the brakes a bit but did let the reverse do most of the slowing down. Could the tires been damaged, is there a way to fix that in the settings in fmc. I saw replace tires

    any suggestions .

    There's an option to cool brakes or replace brakes. If you check the status page on the lower display, it would tell you if you cooked your brakes.

      Thanks, Kevin on where to look. It seems the issue I am having is with the autobrake. After I land and need to use brakes, I turn off the autobrake and come to a complete stop. (I think Autobrake is disabled when brakes pushed, but I turn it off just in case) When I throttle forward, I cannot move. However, with thrust on if I enable and then disengage the autobrake, the aircraft moves a forward for a bit. Then stops and I have to repeat the cycle. This only happens with MSFS (not always) and never in P3D so not sure where the issue is. It could be the way I us turning the autobrake on in Spad.NEXT but this works the same as P3D. (I have the Thustmaster Airbus Throttle package). I won't use autobrake and see if that fixes it, then I know where to look.

      This is what I put in Spad.NEXT.

          I've had this issue as well, and I don't use auto autobrakes on landing much (I'm following Southwest Airlines SOP, which is to not use autobrakes at all unless there is severe weather.)

            I don't think the auto brakes is the cause anymore. I have been using FSUIPC for rudders and steering tiller and when I remove that out of the picture, everything is working again. I have it setup the same way in P3D and never had a issue. But this is FSUIPC 7 so who knows. I need to experiment more.

              A general note to community when troubleshooting, please do not compare anything in P3D to MSFS. It is incorrect to believe that because it works, or is configured a certain way in P3D that the same should be true in MSFS.

              MSFS is an all new platform with all new add on software. It’s a brave new world.

                Good point, George. I guess that is like comparing Windows 3.1 with Windows 95 I am very impressed with the MSFS 2020 PMDG 737, that's for sure.

                  This policy may be true although I'd like to see a reference to something other than the generic "SOP," but we are referring a PC based simulation where acceleration/deceleration forces are totally missing. The only gauge one has that the amount of braking is about right is to watch the GS decay and that's not good enough to prevent the brakes from overheating. If you cannot judge the deceleration then it may be best to let the autobrake, which PMDG has modeled based on Boeing engineering data, to do that task for you.

                    I've had this happen to me even back when I was using autobrakes on every landing. OP uses autobrakes as well, and still has this issue.

                    It doesn't happen often, though, and it's seemingly random.

                      I stopped using FSUIPC 7 for brakes, rudders, and steering tiller and that seems to have fixed my issue. Is there another way to get the steering tiller to work, without putting the assignment in MSFS 2020. It is nice they have settings for each aircraft, but the user has to select the saved settings instead of the settings being loaded when a aircraft is loaded. So I use Spad.NEXT for brakes and rudder. I tried a custom Axis but not getting very far with it.

                        I have installed fsuipc7 in my computer by request of the program LANDING RATING MONITOR (LRM) and since then (i got the feeling) my steering problems began. How to stop using the FSUIPC only for brakes, rudders and steering? By the way, I decided to ground my whole fleet of B738 until a solution for this steering problem is foung. Meanwhile I am flying FBW A320 (experimental version) which is absulutely flyiable and keeps improving weekly.

                      And this is why I shouldn't post at 01:12 AM in the morning. I didn't realize it was MSFS. With SPAD.neXt, I have a custom axis with the target set to STEERING_SET, but I don't know if that works for MSFS.

                        Thanks Kevin. At least I am on the right track. Steering set did not work but I will look deeper into how to set this up. I prefer to use a tiller so just need to loosen deeper into it. Forgot to set the pmdg setup in the FMC to rudder and steering so will give fsuipc another try

                          My tiller is just a cheap second joystick with the roll axis assigned to MSFS Nose Wheel Steering Axis. Nothing complicated. Works every time.

                            Thanks, Dan. I am using a joystick. If I assign that in MSFS and set PMDG FMC setup for rudder and Tiller, would the rudders still work on say a C310 like they are supposed to work. With the 737, the rudders only work after a certain speed and tiller slow speeds which I like. I can put the rudder assignment in MSFS if that is the case.

                            Stupid question, of course they will, sorry

                              My tiller is assigned to MSFS Nose Wheel Steering axis and I have Rudder and Tiller selected in PMDG Setup. While taxiing I use rudder to maintain centerline and the tiller is used for turns and maneuvering. Both are always working with the nose wheel but the rudder steering has far less authority, I think maybe 7 deg vs the tiller's 60 deg.

                                exactly what I do. Rudder for T/O and Landing and tiller for taxiing. Faultless!
