After looking at a picture of an Easyjet 737, I noticed that they have masive webtitles. How about a class 4/5 Jet is put up with some large webtitles like this! (http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/3/32/Easyjet.ezyi.b737.750pix.jpg)
-
Great idea! The 737 could have a special pain with euroharmony.com on the side!:)
-
What would you say for a PMDG B738 repaint first? I got the paintkit and it looks very simple.

Yes please...
;D
-
That would be awsome! Seems simple too...
-
THEN HERE WE GO !!!!!
Here is a link for the package. (http://robert.euroharmony.com/aircraft/EHM-pmdg738-v1.zip)
Simply make a new texture folder for the PMDG-738, and unzip these files into the new folder. Then add the new texture variant into the CFG too ;) I have not tested it, so it is only beta version. Screenshots of my work appreciated.

Hi Robert,
Very well done!! I have only just got the PMDG 737, so will have to learn to fly it....keeps making beeping/warning sounds :o
I'll test your textures now...

Robert,
Totally amazing! Worked pretty much first time for me, so to avoid anyone else out there suffering, here is my addition to the install instructions;
1. Go to the root PMDG 737-800 with winglets folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\PMDG737-800-Winglets in my case).
2. Copy the entire "texture" folder to "texture.EHM".
3. Unpack the repaint zip file into "texture.EHM", overwrite existing files.
4. Open the aircraft.cfg in the root PMDG 737-800 with winglets folder with your text editor of choice.
5. Copy the first three [fltsim.X] sections (if you have more than three) to between the last of the [fltsim.X] sections and the [General] section. Renumber these three new sections to fit the numbering scheme.
6. In each of the three new sections, change the "title=" and "texture=" sections. Insert "EuroHarmony" (or somesuch) into "title=" after "B737-800" and change "texture=" to "texture=EHM". If you want, change "atc_airline=" to "atc_airline=Harmony" (this will only effect offline ATC).
Job done... Now I'm off to have a proper play with it...
EDIT: In recognition of a job well done, I grabbed a few screenshots (800x600...) that I'll upload to the library in a wee bit, but my new .sig pic is just a taster...
-
It looks great ;D but it makes our airline feel like budget carrier.....:%
-
So, its good publicity, BTW, could you please repaint the 737-700 aswell because i have not got the 738........Yet:P
-
OK, I willtry to do it during the weekend.
-
Thank you Robert, we are in your depth, I am really pleased for this oppurtunity as i have just got to grips with the FMC and the overhead panel procedures.

I cant, and ive read 2 tutorials. :o
-
Yeah...I have only just got it and I'm completely lost (hint hint Razza)
-
If you do the quickstart flight under select flight>PMDG>quickstart, and then follow the mannual, it should work, the only hard bit for me was starting the engines but I sharp found out that I needed the batteries on:]
-
KK...will have a go....what is the warning horn that sounds everytime I try to put any throttle on?
-
As long as you aren't starting it from totally cold, it's pretty easy to get the PMDG 737NG to ready to taxi (apart from the FMC, o'course...) The "normal procedures" chapter takes you through it in way more detail than is strictly necessary, but make sure you have them to hand for your first few flights and follow them religeously until you've got the key points memorised. Also, a copy of Fred Clausen's 737NG tutorial is a useful thing to have around [ 737TNG Flight Tutorial; it's on the PMDG website (http://www.precisionmanuals.com/html/downloads.htm) ]. It takes you through an entire flight (in the US, but I can forgive him that) from cold dep to cold dest.
In general, I can now go from cold and offline to taxiing online in under quarter of an hour for "short" flights (EGLL to EHAM, frinstance) where there's not much FMC work.
As for that warning horn, I got it in my first flight in the 738 but haven't had it since. I'll have a play when I get home tonight and see if I can replicate (and solve...)
-
Oh, that is when you take off, if you add throttle with 0/full flaps or parking brake, you hear a warning, just set some flaps and add full throttle
-

That would explain why I heard it when trying to taxi (and being a little over zealous with the throttle...)
-
I hope you did not break that 25knt speed limit:]
-
I am sorry folks, but I got suddenly a very important real life project that I have to finish until 15th. This means I will not have time to paint the planes. Sorry. I will try to do those in the celebrations holiday.
-
No problem Robert, Nothing like building up the anticipation:> And good look with your project

Never... ;D
Just to add to the confusion, on my departure this evening (EHM-3006, but I won't be filing it with Harmony...) the A/T decided to put the throttles to max after push back (had the parking brake on thankfully), the horn didn't sound. Cyriel turns up as EGLL_TWR, we do the whole clearance and taxi thing and I get out to the runway, set the plane up for takeoff (MCP speed, alt and HDG set, flaps 10deg, autobrake to RTO), hit the TOGA button and the horn starts blaring (making the speed calls hard to hear)! Once I rotate and the plane leaves the ground the horn stops... Curiouser and curiouser...

Hey folks, with what PC specs can you run the B738 product? PMDG says for best performance, a PIV with 512MB RAM recommended. Is that true?
-
i know it is not answering your question about the 738 but the 736/7 can run on a PIV with 256MB RAM and a 32mb Graphic card. I use a 64mb GE-Force 4 and have 256MB RAM and it works fine, i know for a fact to run the 738 you must have FS2004 so by you specs in the sig, it looks like you may have to do without. Something to do with incredible accuracy unrecreatable in FS8
-
I will be able to use the PMDG without serious lag after my sytem upgrade. Im getting a 'cool' GFX card. honestly it is.
(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/HIS_9800iceq.jpg)
And im gonna get some more RAM.
-
@Robert: If you mean it is for you, loking at your system specs they are practically the same as mine and I run it fine.....that is with the 512MB RAM, but I dont see why it could run with 256 if need be.
@Murray: Thanks for all your help...it was my first flight....havnt dared fly with it since...scared the life out of me :D. Will try again and see what happens....I may also be a bit extreme in the ammount of throttle used for taxiing ;)
-
512MB of ram is definitely recommanded :) i recently installed 384MB of ram to up my system's total ram to 512MB and noticed a huge improvement in everything from loading time to FS framerates! ;D
-
And oh Tim what card is that?
-
Tim, as I see in your signature, your specs are good except RAM. When compared to mine, it's somewhat similar, except I have 2GB RAM, and 9600Pro, but you don't need a new GFXcard, only a lot more RAM.
What FS framerates you have?
-
You mean we need 1GB and above of ram to run FS at high FPS? :o
-

I wouldn't know exactly.. but I think so from my experience, a large improvement!
When I had 1GB, FS with all sliders maxed, ran at 20-24FPS, now I locked it at 30FPS.:)
Maybe it's because my motherboard has DualDDR system...meaning:
4 memory slots in 2 pairs(black & blue), so if U fill only a pair(2x512) memory runs at 400Mhz. But if U fill both pairs(4x512Mb) memory runs double time (800Mhz)
Maybe that's what caused an improvement

(Slow to see this post, but...) It works well enough on my Athlon XP 1900+ with 768MB RAM...

(So slow in noticing posts that could do with a response...) If you spool the throttle to c.30%N1 to overcome inertia, then spool back to 22-24%N1, that should be more than enough for 18-23kts GS... Of course, fuel/passenger load will have an effect.
-
It runs quite well in the virtual cockpit version with my P4 1.8 and a GeForce4 Ti4600 (1GO DDR RAM though)
For the 800/900 series I recommend fs2crew, it's a must :)
Copilot, flight attendant, gate agent, pushback guy, etc...

Yeah at the beginning the plane needs some work on the procedures and the FMS if you're not used to it, but it's so much worth it !

Its an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro, but I will only be able to use it after Christmas.
-
Has anything came of this, i am still waiting for repaint of the PMDG 737-600 in webtitles
-
Relax Jonathan, will do that between the celebrations: next week. ;D
-
Phew, thats a relief, cheers my man
-
Sorry man, I could not do the repaint this week... I was in a LAN party and played all the time. I will do that monday evening. Happy New Year ! ;)
-
its ok, wait thats today, oh yes, go robert, go Robert, oo oo, go robert, yeah!
btw: which one are you repainting, 600 or 700, please say 600!
-
You requested the 600, but as I know the 600 and 700 have the same size body, so the textures must fit to both.
-
oh ,so I did, i'm debating a route to fly first. LOL
-
my bad/\
I
I
I
-
I got a little request, you know how the 747's name is Einstein and the EMB 170 is named Wordswrth, any chance of this being called either Z.Zidane or T.Henry after the two french football mistros themselves, or mabey even
shevchenko
Edit: i would have said Ronaldinho or Pele but there not European
-
No way Razza! They all play for crap teams! lol
-
but the players are legendary,
-
Well, the planes got names of historical persons, like scientists and artists but not sportsmen. I am sorry.
-
ah, what about Rasmussen, he's a legend lol
-
I do not know him...but I guess he is a relative of you :)
The repaint has been finished. You can DOWNLOAD (http://robert.euroharmony.com/aircraft/EHM-pmdg736-webtitles-v1.zip) from here. Hope you like it ;)
-
Thanks Rob your great, i suggest mangemnet give you a legend medal,:)
-
Thanks, but the things are not so bright around me all the time...to get a legend medal.
-
Well, done congratulations.
This is so good to fly, i will post some screenshots in another thred or the SSL.
BTW, what plane do I report i've being flying the 737-800? or will it be updated?
-
Sorry to hijack the topic guys but have just been looking at maybe buying one of the PMDG 737s as have heard so much about them and looked at their website which looks great. Would people recommend the 600/700 series download or the 800/900??
-
The 800/900 is an add-on for the 600/700, so you need the 600/700 to start with. If money isn't too much of an issue, get both... :D
-
I am sorry to say, that in reality you cannot file PIREP with an aircraft not listed in the EHM fleet. This means that the 737-600 is forbidden. The 737-800 is a normal class 5 jet, so you can report a PIREP with it, although the official livery should be used also on the route. I guess until there is not any official repaint for the PMDG 738, you can use any of your choice.
-
ok, so its kind of a publicity stunt instead of a passanger transport, mabey Managment will update it, i don't know but I love the paint.
Unfortunatly jim you must allready have the 737 600/700 package to run 800/900 but the 737 600/700 should not be underestimated, its great to fly, but if you have the money at hand, around £50 in english money, get both. if still undecided, wait for the 747-400, (queen of the skies)
-
Have just bought and downloaded the 737 600/700 package and thought i would give it a quick try...looks awesome but Oh My God this could be complicated!!!! Thank god for engine auto-start...have a lot of reading to do tonight!! Just seems a real shame cant use it for any EHM flights...back to the old airbus then i guess? If any one knows a link to any good pmdg tutorials would be much appreciated, cheers Jim
