I got the addon a day ago and its well worth the money.Its a big big change as I have never used the FMC before.I was doing the introductory flght and had done everything write(I think) and on T/O when I set T/O power the was a strange noise it was some sort of beeping and it only stoped after rotation.Half way thruogh the flight I saved it but when I came back later all the imformation in the FMC had gone!!Can you help me?
The noise you heard was the "TO Config Warning alarm" telling you not to take-off.
The most likely cause for this is either:-
- Flaps not at a Take-Off setting (5 or 10).
- Trim not set to a valid TO setting.
...make sure these are both set (I always use Flaps 5 and TO trim set within the 'green' area - on the Throttle unit).
😎
Thanks GPS-Kid.I completed the intro flight but I think I will do it agian chust to get used to it.
No its still doing it what do I do ❓flaps are set to 5 and trim is in the green area like you siad GPS-kid
I have sorted out the problem I'm not quite sure what it was.I did the same flightagian to get used to the plane and I made the biggest mistake I forgot about the gear!!!!! the warning horn should have went off but just my luck it didnt so I had to whate for about ten mins for it to load agian and hoping that it would reset on final app (it sometimes does that) but it didnt anyway I love this aircraft and I highly recomend it to enyone.
What frame rates are you using [because my computer get stuck every now and again in the VC]?
So does my pc there is a big long pause about every ten minutes but its worth it becouse the VC is so good.I get about 6(or lower when at a big airport) to 34fps in this aircraft.

You can't save the flights using the PMDG 737 NG because FS can't recognize all the new gauges. That happened to me when I tried to save a flight using the PSS A340 Professional. Nowadays, the developers are trying to create something that fix this. The Level - D 767 and the PSS Conorde Professional have this new feature so the flight can be saved.
I am still getting the same problem and sometimes it will freeze for about 4 mins and then un freeze loading times take ages (I dont mind that) and the TO warning horn gos of even though I have done the TO checlist correctly.
I think maybe you got a corruption when installing Ranald, I'd try a re-install.....
Before doing this you could maybe have one more go, following the tutorial right through....
To avoid that "T/O horn", check :-
- Flaps set to 5.
- Trim set for T/O.
- Landing Lights are on.
- Main Generators have been switched over from APU Gens.
- SEAT BELT AND SMOKING SIGN ON (Easy to miss!).
- Autobrake set to R-TO.
Good luck ! 😉
The only time that this happened to me on this plane that i just got was that i forgot to put the V1,VR, and V2 speed in the FMC.
