August 9, 201411 yr Hi there having just bought the PMDG 777, i was unsure about the windows 8.1 compatibility, but also having the PMDG 747 400 X and that works ok i bought the 777, but unfortunately the 777 doesnt work as good, for example no matter how long that i wait the APU doesnt start up, and in the FMC the cg% Values cannot be inserted either manually or via th shortcut mentioned in the PMDG tutorial. Please could anyone advise me as to how to get around this ? my system is AMD A10 6800K 8 gb DDr3 RAM 1600mhz 2tb hard drive 8670hd onboard graphics Windows 8.1 Flight simulator X with acceleration Thanks Chris Heydon CHRIS HEYDON

The plane has to be running before you can turn on the apu, if it's not just attach a ground unit and switch it on. For the cg you can't enter it manually. Double click the lsk beside the cg and it should be populated. And make sure you have the route and perf page completed before you try to get the cg Pierre W

August 10, 201411 yr Author how are you entering it in Thankyou for getting back to me, i double clicked the Lsk 3 key in the fmc , and it appears to work, however this only worked after i uninstalled then reinstalled the PMDG 777 200, also the APu Power and External power does not emluminate green when the apu starts up, i do not know whether previous addons can clash with oe another, as i now have the PMDG 747 400 X uninstalled and more features tend to work with the 777 , which is odd, also i have several versions of C++ redistributable on my Pc, Does anyone know whether these versions can clash at all with one another ?
