LOVE this plane, and broke down today and bought the 600/700 expansion pack!  Everything went fine, until I tried to fly the plane, and all manner of problems occurred, highly embarrassing to say the very least!

 

You have to reinitialize the plane's setup to match your current start up settings for the 800/900.  That much seemed pretty obvious.  Then, if you use EZ/DOK, you need to export your camera settings from the 800/900, then import them while in the 600/700.  That was kind of obvious.  Less obvious, you must then re-run the EZDOK configuration tool while NOT in FSX (still not overwhelming).

 

When the airplane starts misbehaving, I discovered the PMDG options.ini file had the

 

[sDK]

EnableBroadcastData=1

 

line totally removed when I ran the expansion pack install!

 

Once I re-added the above line, guess what?  The plane flew as expected!

 

Blew several hours on that little gem, so sharing it here.  Just sayin', you'd a never thunk it, huh?  Saw other posts suggesting deleting FSUIPC.ini which is NO can of corn (yes it will rebuild, but all of your assignments and calibrations will be GONE, unless you made a backup copy of it first so you can add the appropriate lines back in to the 'new' re-created FSUIPC.ini.

 

Hope this little missive helps the next person, but still believe the PMDG planes are THE BEST!

What are you using that line for? It should only be there if you're using hardware or other addons that use the SDK.

Yes, I have a number of hardware add-on devices that require the SDK.  Thanks for pointing that out- I should have remembered for that reason!

 

You're the best, Ryan!
