I had a voice warning about missing SDK,  when I launched FS2Crew for the PMDG NGX.

 

I think this is possibily why I couldn't get the ground crew to work.  Also the co-pilot questioned everything, even the seat belt signs

 

 

"passinger signs on" Checked very obviously on.

 

"are you sure about that" and so on.

 

Should I reinstall everything? Or reinstall some of PMDG service packs?

 

Best regards

Hi Julian, are you loading the aircraft with 2D cockpit. This is definitely the case with the NGX, unsure about other aircraft. You will get this problem a lot of the time if you start the aircraft in a 3D cockpit.

Yes pretty sure I loaded in 2D, as advised in the manual.

 

I had a bad CTD previous, to this, so I suspect something had got messsed up.

A lot of times it's because the user has UAC enabled, and that blocks our installer's attempt to update the PMDG Opitions INI with this required line:

 

[sDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

Ok it looks like these lines are in the .ini file.

 

 

Interesting about the UCA problem, I have heard of this before.

 

Where is the best place to install the whole of flight sim?

 

I always try and lower the UCA, and I always fly in admistrator if I can.I need to have another flight, to see if if was an isolated sit

Ok thanks, it looks like these lines are in the .ini file.

The best place to install FSX is anywhere "other" than Program Files (the default location).

 

When you install FSX off the DVDs, you'll have the option to chose a custom location.

 

Don't do what some people do and just drag the FSX folder to a new location... that's a recipe for problems.

 

You should turn UAC full off and ideally be in an Admin account.

Not only their manuals are precise, so are their KB articles, too!

I'm just doing a flight now, and it all seems ok,  so :unsure:

 

I don't know what happened last night.

A lot of people share your experience - not only flight simmers, lol!

So it was like the Flight Simulator version of "The Hangover"
