March 31, 201511 yr I have the same problem. Ive re-downloaded it 3 times, re-installed it countless times, and it still wont show. it says i need to go back and re-download it to get a FSX:SE enabled installer, yet i have an FSX:SE installer because I bought/downloaded AFTER it was released for FSX:SE and it works to fly the default liveries in FSX:SE.
April 4, 201511 yr Still not working.... Full names in the PMDG forums please. Your description of the problem is vague. Did you find the Operations Center and launch it okay? Does the OC indicate that the product is installed when you click on Product and the drop down list shows installed products in bold white and others are grey? When you select a product in bold white, the menu should change to items such as aircraft specific settings, livery manager and download, and documents. Do you see the menu? Dan Downs KCRP

On mine I did a dual install FSX and FSX-SE for both the NGX and T7. The operation Center though still thinks FSX box is installed. FSX-SE entries are greyed out and only get placeholder entries. I have been working around this by using the Registry repair tool to set the registry to FSX Steam then process the updates. I'm using the NGX and T7 exclusively on Steam now so this has worked out fine for me. Tom Cain Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
April 6, 201511 yr I did a dual install FSX and FSX-SE for both the NGX and T7. The operation Center though still thinks FSX box is installed. That is confusing. If FSX box is not installed then why did you do a dual install? Dan Downs KCRP
April 6, 201511 yr That is confusing. If FSX box is not installed then why did you do a dual install? No I have both FSX Box and FSX-SE, hence the dual install. Both the NGX and T7 installed in both FSX versions ok. The problem is when I go into the OC it says only the NGX and T7 for FSX Box is installed, so there are no livery manager, downloader, etc, under the NGX and T7 FSX-SE which is greyed out.

April 6, 201511 yr I've done dozens of dual installs in FSX/FSXSE during testing. Of course, the prior versions must be removed, I usually use the control panel, and there's no need to delete files or folders other than what the uninstall process already does. There is a PMDG Operations Center Log.txt file located in your appData\Roaming\PMDG\Operations Center folder. Take a look at it and it will reveal if it is finding the occurrence of an installed platform, at the beginning of the file there will be lines similar to this: 15:38:38.999 Loading Settings 15:38:38.999 Finding FSX 15:38:39.001 Found FSX installation: C:\FSX\ 15:38:39.002 Finding FSX:SE 15:38:39.003 Found FSX installation: F:\SteamLibrary\XPlane10\steamapps\common\FSX\ 15:38:39.004 Finding P3D 15:38:39.005 Found P3D installation: F:\P3D\ If you run out of ideas please submit a trouble ticket at PMDG Product Support. Mention what you find in the log file along with your problem description. I can't remember if the ticket can have attachments, if it does then include the log file. Dan Downs KCRP

I have found the OC , but there's no entry for the livery manager... I would post a screenshot but I don't know how to do that Sorry for my english, i'm german
June 12, 201510 yr Look on pg 21 of the Operations Center manual, it has an example of the Menu after you select a product. If you have selected a product, you should have a Livery Manager, Livery Downloader, Version etc. listed in the menu. If you do not see these items then you have not selected a product.

June 14, 201510 yr Author Here's a screenshot, Maybe that will help http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/unbenanntim5r9jg43z.png And I don't understand the red writing.... I've bought the pmdg Box version from Aerosoft and downloaded the FSX:SE installer from Aerosoft with the activation key
June 14, 201510 yr Something is wrong with the installation. The OC is installed with the NGX but it is a separate program and it's acting like it is unaware of the installed product. This is not unusual for Steam because they do not follow standard practices with things like using the registry. So, try something. Uninstall your NGX, then install the updated installer only (it is a complete installer, not just an update). See if this changes anything. If not, open a support ticket at PMDG Product Support and they have some tools to get you going. The screen shot described the problem perfectly. Dan Downs KCRP
