Question for PM stuff, AC model

[mmakela]

I wanted ask this much earlier, here it goes.

Because there seems to be everlasting discussion about how
every new updates works with everyones aircraft models and
their hardware ... could PM put the same aircraft models in
their site that they use in their test systems. This could help so much
here. At least everyone has a model that propably causes no
problems. There is a model in their site, which is 319 for which there
is no system at all.
Just a thought.

This is a good idea. It would be nice to have the models for FSX and/or FS9 that they're using, then I could verify what is or is not working according to a benchmark if you will...

In fact, in the other postings regarding this and the issue with PMDG; how about someone saying which (exactly) the model you're using in FSX/FS9(yes, I know panel.cfg=views only), which CDU Aircraft data file (or txt file) are you using (is it default PM, like 737-700 or are you using one of the older files from the PM site, like the PMDG B737-700 by Bob Scott), and are you saying that PM works in FSX with default B737-800 (for boeing) and if not, what model is being used as the -800 or even 700 (since it's not a default).

Hi

This is not possible I'm afraid for various reasons. I do understand the desire for this, but models are tailored to hardware and specific system set-ups any way (especially the ones used here). There is also a large amount of time and interlectual property in their development (like all software) and it is not possible to distrubute this freely or via sales due to the open nature of MSFS airfile / model system.

Can you suggest a good model for FSX and it's corresponding PM Aircraft.txt (CDU), thank you.

Hi

I have no knowledge with models that both work and work well with FSX & PM I'm afraid. I'm sure others will have advise here.

John,
I have used the Kitty Hawk 737-800 with PM and find the flight model very good.

What's the problem using the PMDG FS9 model on FSX? it works fine...

[mmakela]

Just curious, someone in PM has done airbus
updated so there must be at least one model
being used. I doubt it is illegal to say what it
is?

Hi

For Airbus, you can use the IFDG A319 model, which is avialable for download from the Updates / latest section of our website. This is a freeware model and I have tested this model, it is considered not to have any known airfile related problems, so it should work fine with PM on a technical level. Hope this helps.

May I ask why it is A319 model in PM site only
considering PM has no 319 in MCDU? Can I use
A320 sys with A319 aircraft?
