I'm just wondering why it makes the files in the Windows directory?This is deliberately or inadvertently made ​​there?

[rsrandazzo 6,353]

Hikmet- Thank you for the report. Alex is looking into why this might happen.

[AlexBashkatov 0]

Hikmet, This is a rare occurrence that may happen if you create a flight with the NGX and set it as your default FSX flight. We corrected this but unfortunately we cannot issue a hot fix for this right now, because we have some work underway on some of the aircraft systems. The temporary workaround will be to set up a default FSX flight with some other aircraft.

[Mendoza 0]

Okay knowing is enough for now, I ask no hotfix or something thanks Robert and Alex.

[vonmar 121]

I have today uninstalled, new PMDG737NG aircraft download, installed again.I have all failure OFF, as far as I know. I see the data in:F:\FSX\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\Aircraft The AAL repaint N807NN.ini file Note: all ini files in this folder have the run timer data... Is all this OK for flight or is it an aircraft problem?

it happens to me too i have quite a few files with strange names in the windows directory as well as some with not so strange names like CDU.0, CDU.1, Gyro Speed, Mode2_AltGain_timerand i never saved the ngx as the default flight.

[vonmar 121]

Yes,I see that also. My default flight is Air Creation Trike over Friday Harbour ....

[coa1117 53]

This is a rare occurrence that may happen if you create a flight with the NGX and set it as your default FSX flight.

I have 30 or 40 of these files in my Windows directory and I've never created a default flight of any kind in FSX.

[Scott434 12]

Hotfix3 is still doing this (see below). The contents of these files looks like the output of some embedded debug code. PMDG, shouldn't your "reach" be limited to the FSX installation folder? Might be a cause of some instabilities.

[wildtrout1 0]

I have no such files in my Windows root. I have 737-800NGX WL as my default aircraft. I'm running x64 and my fsx directory is on a seperate partition from my Windows partition.

[AirbusCG 52]

I have those files too and I don't have the NGX as default flight. My default flight is C172 at Dinslaken Schwarze Heide (EDLD). When I open some of these files, all those which don't have those names like BB1 C505 1FDC 6598 CAD3 1CA6 E6A4 E22C 5615 D01E 4751 C51E 6987 E170 217A 0D46 AF6C have the path to the previous flight panel state in them. Also I can see something with "AnalogStandby=". So maybe those files are created while using the analog standby instruments when saving a flight?

[trisager 2]

I have 737-800NGX WL as my default aircraft. I'm running x64 and my fsx directory is on a seperate partition from my Windows partition.

Same setup here, but I do have these files in the Windows directory. Trike over Friday Harbor is my default flight.

[beep 11]

Same with me. No 737NGX in my default flight, but a number of PMDG files in my windows root directory.For ex. a file called "Pitch target" : [D:\flight simulation\fsx\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\Previous Flight.FLT.sav]Although it seems a panel state save, why in the windows root directory? Looks a bit messy, no? Jos Denis

[Andydigital 93]

I only have the CDU.0 and CDU.1 files, W7 Home x64, FSX on own drive.

[vonmar 121]

I only have the CDU.0 and CDU.1 files, W7 Home x64, FSX on own drive.

It starts like that .. then, for me, more will add with each PMDG FMC usage / flight setup.
