PMDG

I had just recntly purchased the PMDG737....I was trying it out for the first time and I know I will not understand it the first few time...but from coming from the A319 to the 737 I have a few question....when I take off do I hit LNAV....or do I have to control it according to the FMC...also I tried programming the FMC....and saw no place to insert the speeds or does that automatically load with the fuel weight and all other weights???

Hi jrpilot - LNAV is really only when you have an FMC plan loaded - I know the manual is difficult, so i would really recommend downloading Fred Clausen's excellent tutorial - starts you up from cold and dark thru programming the FMC, right the way to landing. Never read the manuals cover to cover but i can now confidently set flight plans in the FMC and all its settings! its available here and on simviation.. good luck!!

Junior...send me a message and I'll help you, step by step.
I've been helping PMDG novices since it's release last year, so you can be confident  ;D

I'm an FS idiot and I've learned the plane.  The FMC was the most intimidating, but now that I know it I love it.  Good luck.  

BTW...you can have it calculate your speed or you can manually set it.
