Which aircraft do you use with PM ?

[Nick1150]

I am having some issues with PMDG and PM. I will most probably short them out with the help of Bob Scott's patch but I was wondering, which aircraft do you use with PM ?

Thannks,

Used to fly with PMDG 737, but that one has a trim problem - e.g. the trim settings mismatch gravely with TopCat, the CDU and the 737 trim gauge.
Switched to POSKY 737 which have a far better airfile and correct trim.
I believe PMDG COG is off from normal value, this has not been corrected in the flight model since they aimed towards the "desktop pilots".

737-300, default 737-400, Posky 700 & 800.

Hello
I tried these all.
But runing into a problems.
The fuel is only taken from the left wing fueltank. The one on the right keeps the value since i started the sim.

Thanks in advance.

Are you running the APU and it takes fuel from the left tank first? If so, I think there is a fix for it in FSUIPC and I know that TSR Autobrake has a fix to help with this. What you do in the mean time (after turning the APU off) is turn off the left tank pumps, select crossfeed and it'll draw from the right tank, then turn the left tank pumps back on when the values start to match up between both tanks.

I have both engines running idle. APU is off. I switched the left of and then it starts taking fuel from the center. (pumps off)...
I'm using the default posky700. Do I have to remove gauges?
btw the same happens with the FSX default 737.

Some "setting" in FS9/FSX must cause this, not PM or the aircraft.
Start FS with the default Cessna - set generators/fuel pumps ON
Change aircraft to OPENSKY and see if it helped.
You need all fuel pumps ON except the center tank plus, of course, electric power.

Normally the APU draws fuel from LEFT WING.

TSR has a (freeware) where you can set the fuel rate for the APU.
TSR Autobrake Pro (payware) does NOT change the fuel behaviour - only gives you an autobrake with regard to runway condition. (plus some extra a/b features).

Actually, TSR Boeing 737-NG (all a part of the TSR package which has Autobrake Pro) has two parts that deal with Fuel. The DBS/Fuel Tab which has the APU Fuel Consumption Settings for the selected tank and percentage amounts for that coming from Center or Left tank. Also, the Settings I tab has the "No APU/Refill/Tank Leak" check box. Although, this might not be what you need, they're there to explore.

Edit: This is from the TSR manual:

It controls the Fuel consumption of the APU for 737, depending of the Fuel Tank selection for the APU. The APU can use fuel from Center tank or Left main tank.
If left Center pump is ON the APU consume fuel from the Center tank, else the left Main tank is used.
In any case the APU can only consume fuel if NO engine consume fuel from the selected Tank, to don't bother the engines consume.
With the slider you can control the consumption for the selected Tanks, left Main or Center Tank.

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for your answer.
I found the problem.
I changed from FS9 to FSX but still used the "old" PMsystems Logics witch I had modified.
Changing to the newest version solved the problem.

Thanks Ariaan.

Hello Ariaan,

what you mean old PmSystems logic. Is there something different in logic for FSX ?

[saabpilot]

Happy to hear you found the reason of the problem.

Fly safe - slow and low,
Best,

Hi Eddie
If you updated pmsystems with the latest pmsys737.lgc then you don't have problems. FSX has more control over the tanks use.

I had an very old version of it.

Hi where did you downloaded it?
Or did you modified it by yourself?
