Dear Deltava Community,
I have been flying the PMDG for quit some while but suddenly the last 5 or 6 flights I can't even pass the first 20 minutes of flights, because I takeoff and everything is alright but suddenly after some time, or when I engage the autopilot, the aircraft makes some erratic movements, and in some instances, the aircraft goes to FL999, or the engines, I dont really know what is happening, but it is starting to really bug me, I am running Active Sky, FS9, FsPassenger, PMDG 737, Squawkbox, and Delta ACARS. Please Help,!
Regards,
Daniel Cherbowski
767 Captain

I dont know about PMDG, but sometimes with other aircraft, if you engage auto throttle in IAS mode and not mach mode above FL240 (or about there), it will do crazy things

Yea, i'm sorry, but i have never had any experience with PMDG, so i cant help you with this one. You might want to go here: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/priv/pages/support.html#prod_support
You can either contact them or look at the support page for the 737. Hope this helps!

thanks brad again for the quick response, i went there and they couldn't help me because it is not a problem related with the PMDG software, may be something else like activesky or fspasseger? maybe a new internet connection can do this, because everytime I connect into the new internet connection i have this happens, before it never happenned, but it doesn't make sense that this would affect in any way. please help

I would actually check out Active Sky. I know there have been some major problems with rapid pressure and wind changes that all airplanes have a hard time dealing with. Do you have a registered version of FSUIPC?

Thanks Paul for the response, well I didn't notice anything wrong with ActiveSky, and its strange since I have been using it for a while now and never encountered this issue. About FSUIPC, I have the one that comes with the Deltava ACARS, I don't know if its registered but would that make a difference?

Have you tried not running all that other stuff then flying just strictly FS and then if it is is fine, going one by one, each addon enabled to see where the problem starts becoming?

Hey, the best investment in FS is buying the registered version of FSUIPC and using the wind smoothing option. The PMDG seems to be more affected by the wind movements than any other addon, for some reason. It's probably because their flight modeling is dang near perfect.
