# PMDG
|
||||
|
||||
PMDG has a few study level aircraft for Flight Simulator, most notably the 737s.
|
||||
|
||||
<Callout type="warning" emoji="⚠️">
|
||||
PMDG's aircraft are only supported on Windows, even though this has been able
|
||||
to run on Linux, there is no guarantee that this will work later down the
|
||||
line. Do not expect support from PMDG as their aircraft are not officially
|
||||
supported on Linux.
|
||||
</Callout>
|
||||
|
||||
Their aircraft can be bought on:
|
||||
|
||||
- [PMDG Website](https://pmdg.com/msfs/)
|
||||
- Flight Simulator store (not tested on Linux so far)
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
<Callout type="info" emoji="ℹ️">
|
||||
**Difficulty:** Easy
|
||||
</Callout>
|
||||
|
||||
This installation guide is for installing aircraft bought directly from the PMDG website. This guide has only tested
|
||||
the 737-800 bought directly from their website, installations may vary, but I would assume it would work the same for
|
||||
other aircrafts.
|
||||
|
||||
<Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
### Run the installer
|
||||
|
||||
Download the installer and then run it normally via [Protontricks](/msfs/protontricks).
|
||||
|
||||
Once the installer has completed, the PMDG Operations Center will open up and throw an error, click on `Quit` and make
|
||||
sure it has been closed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix PMDG Operations Center
|
||||
|
||||
A config file needs to be edited for the PMDG Operations Center located here (**edit the directory based on where your
|
||||
`compdata` for Flight Simulator is**):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1250410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/PMDG/PMDG Operations Center/PMDG Operations Center.exe.config
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open that file in a text editor of your choice and delete these lines:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>
|
||||
<add key="DpiAwareness" value="PerMonitorV2" />
|
||||
</System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationConfigurationSection>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now when you open the PMDG Operations Center, you should get a warning, which you can click `Continue` on. It should
|
||||
work normally and you should be able to install liveries now.
|
||||
|
||||
### (Optional) Create a Desktop Entry for PMDG Operations Center
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a [desktop entry](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html)
|
||||
should make opening PMDG Operations Center easier as you will not have to find the location manually each time.
|
||||
|
||||
These files will go into `~/.local/share/applications/`, but you can create multiple directories inside it to make it
|
||||
easier to manage your custom Desktop Entries that you manually created. For example on my system, I stored this entry
|
||||
under
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/PMDG/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create a Desktop Entry inside a location specified above, with a text editor of your choice. The name of the file is
|
||||
irrelevant as long as it has the `.desktop` extension.
|
||||
|
||||
```desktop copy filename="PMDG Operations Center.desktop"
|
||||
[Desktop Entry]
|
||||
Name=PMDG Operations Center
|
||||
Exec=protontricks -c "wine C:/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/PMDG/PMDG\\ Operations\\ Center/PMDG\\ Operations\\ Center.exe" 1250410
|
||||
Type=Application
|
||||
StartupNotify=true
|
||||
Categories=Game;Simulation;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then make sure to update the database for desktop entries by running this command in the terminal
|
||||
|
||||
```shell copy
|
||||
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should now be able to find PMDG Operations Center in your Desktop Environment's application launcher.
|
||||
|
||||
</Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
The aircraft and PMDG Operations Center should work on Linux now. Enjoy flying your aircraft in the simulator!
