Launches PMDG OPS |
|
|
PMDG is pleased to
announce the launch of its new resource center.
An excerpt from the forum announcement:
Today we have
opened for business a brand new server to host
our very own, Wiki based PMDG customer resource
center known as "PMDG Ops." Some of you are
probably familiar with other popular “wiki”
websites such as the famous Wikipedia online
encyclopedia. At PMDG, we felt that this
exciting new technology was just the tool that
we needed to enhance the vast wealth of
knowledge and help provided every day by PMDG
Staff and Customers to one another within this
community.
As you likely know, the strength of the Wiki
system is that all users may add/edit/tune
articles and knowledge to help keep information
current and topical. With the advent of PMDG
OPS, users will be able to find and utilize
information more efficiently and with greater
ease than has ever been possible here in a forum
based system.
No longer will information simply vanish into
thin air as a result of busy forum traffic or
the passage of time- users who need assistance
can find practically anything they need using a
simple search at PMDG
OPS.

PMDG
747-400 Type Rating Course Lesson 1 Available |
|
|
PMDG is pleased to
announce the availability of the first lesson of
the 747-400 Type Rating Course. The following
announcement about it has been posted in our
forum:
"This lesson is the
first of many that we will be providing to teach
you the finer aspects of operating the PMDG
747-400/400F in a realistic and detailed
fashion. The point of the type course is to
provide a bit more hands-on information that we
can provide in the Aircraft Operating Manual by
allowing you to fly the aircraft and learn some
of it's capabilities in a linear course that
takes you through aircraft startup through all
phases of flight and eventually to shutdown.
The Lesson One type course is designed to walk
you through the process of preparing your
airplane for flight using preflight concepts as
you would learn them if you were to attend a
Type Rating Course. I have written the first
lesson in a manner that helps to teach you the
importance of the checlist process and
procedural flows.
At the conclusion of Lesson 1, you will have all
four engines running, and be prepared to taxi
out for departure- so even though we expect to
follow subsequent lessons at a rate of
approximately one per week, you can immediately
put this PMDG Type Rating Course Lesson One to
use in your personal or online flying."
