Hi guys,

What do you "PMSYSTEMS ROCKET SCIENTISTS" think about that approach??

Pete,

I think I read that somewhere.... I too was on this (PM SYSTEMS FOR DUMMIES) Quest.

I had a conversation with Thomas Richer (PMSYSTEMS KING) and was trying to probe him for a what do I do first. I personally have spent hours just trying to edit an existing 737 or airbus overhead. By just trying to move a few switches from one position to another, completely without success.

I can't even seem to change the look of the bitmap. LOL. Anyway Thomas basically just said keep plugging away on it and it will eventually start to work. I asked him how many hours would it take him to build an overhead?

His response was unclear as he stated it starts off with needing to draw out a function map, like a flow chart to see how it all fits, then begin programming. I even told him I didn't want fancy graphics, Just all my switches lined up waiting to be commanded from hardware.

I got no bites . As more people in the community plug away with PM systems, we will get our How too booklet, I for one am hoping someone learns it so well, For a couple hundred bucks they will build my overhead for me........ But I think I am dreaming

Best regards

So... If you realy don't care what it looks like, use the 737. There musy be most of what you need in there?

Except the 737 has only 2 engines, I need 3

[Bob Reed]

So....I have found a really good way to learn how something works is to start playing with it. Copy and paste. If I get a chance I will take a look at the software and see if I can figure out how to add an engine.

LOL, Thats what I have been trying to do. I think my biggest issue, is trying to figure out if the variable names are spacific to a database somewhere, or if the variable names are whatever you want them to be.

Thanks folks for the replys, pm systems appear to be what i will need down the line, just wanted to get some feedback on it.
Im running FSX , and your right the 737 is much better, and i will build on that.

right now im beginning test on some freeware ogs (opencockpits) networked.
When ever i get enough funds i might consider project magenta.

Thanks........................ROBERT
