I am at a loss with the 737 NGX and my FSX

Featured Replies

Greetings,

As an purchaser and user of all the PMDG products I cannot figure this one out.

 

The 737 NGX was working great and no problems until last weekend. It will load up to the VC cockpit and the CTD. I have searched the forums for an answer to this  with so many postings it is difficult to find a post with this problem.

 

The Problem:

I have reformatted all my drives. Clean install of win 7 64 bit, I7 3.5GHZ, nvidia  gforce GTX 690, 16G ram.  

 

A new purchase of FSX gold with accel.  I have not put on any scenery addons, no payware items except for FSUIPC, basic yucky FSX. I works fine.

 

 

The drivers are up to date as of yesterday.  

 

An install of the 737 goes as planned, enter the code, OK the dlls, say yes to the gauge loads, it starts up to the VC cockpit and the CTD ! each and every time. It shows the cockpit and will not go any farther.

 

 

Am I missing something?  Like I said before it worked then quit.   This is getting frustrating.   I will wear out my license tries to get this working.

 

Any honest help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah this sounds odd - never had this problem before!   Sounds like one for the guys at the PMDG to solve.   They are friendly and very good at support with their products.   I am sure one of the guys can help you there.   Good luck!

 

Kind regards

Very simple really. I had to unplug all my addon controls, yoke, throttles. The PMDG did not want to use the cfg's of them to load up.  After unplugging all, the aircraft loaded loaded normally. Then i had to deal with new cfg's for all the hardware as they were then read differently in FSX.

 

That was it.
