I have not tried this trick yet myself, but here is the info I found on porting the PMDG 737-600/700 over to FSX. The 800/900 series do not yet work. Try it if you like, but I take no responsibility if it trashes your system! :laugh:
Tools needed: Registry repair tool for flight sim found here:
http://www.flight1software.com/files/FS_Registry_Repair.exe
if you already have FS9 installed, i would advise making a temporary place to CUT and paste the following folders and files to a temporary location.
Effects, Flights, FMCWP, Gauges, Modules, PMDG, Sound, and GuageSound.dll
if you dont have PMDG installed in FS9 you may not have all of those folders and files, but just take all that you have. It will save a HUGE transfer of unnecessary files to FSX
STEP 1) First off, make a dummy Flight sim 9 directory. It should look like this
C:Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9
STEP 2) then copy the FS9.exe from inside the FSX root directory (C:Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X) into the new FS9 directory
you made
STEP 3) Run the Registry repair tool to give FS9 registry entries to trick the computer into thinking it has a valid FS9 install
STEP 4) Install you PMDG 737 600/700 package
STEP 5) create a "SimObjects" folder inside the dummy FS9 directory. And inside that make an "Airplanes" folder. It should look like this C:Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\SimObjects\Airplanes
STEP 6) OPTIONAL install the latest AIRAC data
STEP 7) OPTIONAL Install any liveries you want to install
STEP Cool open up the aircraft folder in the dummy FS9 and copy the entire contents and paste them inside the new airplanes folder in SimObjects
STEP 9) Delete FSUIPC from Modules folder in the dummy FS9 directory
STEP 10) Copy EVERYTHING inside the dummy FS9 directory EXCEPT the AIRCRAFT folder. You want SimObjects, Effects, Flights, FMCWP, Gauges, Modules, PMDG,
Sound, and GuageSound.dll
STEP 11) Paste the files into the root directory of your FSX, saying yes to overwrite
That’s it, now you should have it functional in FSX; it works for me close to 100%. Remember that this only seems to work with the 600-700 models, as soon as
you try to add the 800-900 it will give the FMC an error
