March 29, 201610 yr Hello, I've recently purchased the PMDG 777 and I am attempting a fix for a previously mentioned problem on this forum, regarding "phugoid" type flight behavior while the aircraft is on autopilot. I previously uninstalled and re-installed the 777 due to this, but the behavior came back after a few days. Additionally, my problem with "phugoid" behavior also seems more severe than some previously addressed concerns, my aircraft doesn't just deviate in altitude 1000 feet or so, but literally will dive into the ground. So, on this second attempt to uninstall the 777 and fix this, I noticed something rather bizarre. I do not have the option to uninstall the 777 in the control panel anymore, despite it being there previously. I would normally just attempt to delete it manually, but I am unsure if I would actually delete everything I need to and if it would mess up a re-installation of the 777. Any help on these matters would be much appreciated, thank you.
March 29, 201610 yr I would normally just attempt to delete it manually If you manually deleted the 777 without using the control panel or the 777 exe is probably the cause of your issues now, since it states do not manually remove any of the pmdg aircraft. Best bet is to submit a support ticket in now. Also re installing most likely wouldn't have solved your issue could introduce new ones as you have discovered now I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

March 29, 201610 yr I you read the op post he hasn't got this option no more Well then run the PMDG installer. It might ask to repair the install. Then remove it via the control panel if you wish.

Requires a separate registration from the store. Where did you purchase the 777? As has already been mentioned, uninstalling and reinstalling won't do anything here, just increases your chances of more issues. Well then run the PMDG installer. It might ask to repair the install. Then remove it via the control panel if you wish. A reinstall isn't going to fix this issue. Cheers, Chris Brand
April 13, 201610 yr You have to first de-activate the license for the PMDG 777 using the CDU within FSX. After that, you should go to the control panel and uninstall the PMDG 777. After that is done, you should make sure that all the PMDG 777 folders within the main FSX folder (Program files (x86)) to make sure that the aircraft is completely uninstalled. Andrew Ayad

No. Please do not do this. Doing this regularly makes more work for us, and will require you to wait for us to look into why your key got locked out if you do this too often. The license return function has very, very specific uses. Uninstall/reinstall is not one of those. The license return function is for when you: Have to change significant hardware: mobo, CPU, etc. Have to change computers. Are reinstalling your entire operating system (reformatting). Kyle Rodgers
April 14, 201610 yr After that, you should go to the control panel and uninstall the PMDG 777 Doesn't matter if he de activated or not as stated in his first post the option isn't their to uninstall in the control panel. Since he hasn't returned back he has most likely solved his issue I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
