Working on multiple screens and 2 operating systems I did not see any notepad page as it was buried under other windows and I dismissed it when I saw it. Why does the Ops Centre not display the message directly. It looks like an amateur setup?

I'm sorry, but how is it PMDG's fault, that you have 2 screens and to many windows open?!

Also: full names - first and last - are required in the forum here.

Please stop stating this. Avsim is an open forum, which hosts this forum, does not require full name. Therefore, you don't. It is a personal choice and a security issue. PMDG should host its own closed forum to make this a requirement.

3 screens to be correct. All info should be displayed in the Ops Centre and not in pop ups. That is PMDG's fault for issuing a new shiny non-functioning utility that they insist users employ.

Errhmm... Wrong!!!

This is the Support Forum of PMDG. Therefore, it's PMDG who sets the rules of use, conduct and moderation. 

Please see the terms of use of this forum! And oblige by the rules. Or refrain from posting in here.

Actually you're wrong. Avsim is the host forum but you are in the PMDG forum, which has it's own rules just like all the other developer forums. It is a rule set by PMDG and Avsim allow them to moderate their forums and enforce their rules as they like.

Just like Microsoft makes you use Windows Update you mean? It is not PMDGs fault that you have too many windows open to even see a popup notepad window, that's your own for trying to do too many things at once.

Then make it a private forum. There is no need for full name and there is nothing stopping people giving a totalling false name. Note: I don't.

What's the point? Avsim and PMDG have had this relationship for so long, what would be the point of changing it now. It's also been a forum rule since the forum began. The full name is there because it's more personal knowing you are called Andrew and not ScotFleiger, just like I am Chris, not PMDG777. Further, PMDG can look up in their systems for support reasons (to find a ticket for example) or other reasons (did you really buy the product). A fake name would be pointless because you wouldn't show up as purchased the product or they won't be able to find any tickets, leading them to believe you've pirated their software.

Edit: On top of this, you might want to familiarise yourself with rule # 3, 4 and 8.

DO NOT RETURN THE LICENSE

 

When it comes to our products, as mentioned in the Intro Manual, the only time you need to (and should) do this, is when you are changing hardware, changing computers, or reinstalling your entire operating system. Do not attempt to do so at any other time. Not when you're uninstalling/reinstalling the plane; not when you're uninstalling/reinstalling the sim; not when you're changing from P3Dv3 to P3Dv4; not when you pass GO, or collect $200. Please 

Thanks, Kyle. I had figured that out when I found that post by RSR. At the time it had come out, I had lightly skimmed over the post as I was not intending at that stage to purchase v4.

*SIGH*

Why don't you submit a ticket directly to PMDG with all your complaints?! This debate is quite frankly getting a bit tiring. 
Besides, you seem to be unable and/or unwillng to accept the rules and terms of conduct of this forum. 

Either you clearly got up on the wrong side of bed this morning or you're trolling. In either case, I'm done with this... 

Like it or not - the official PMDG Support Forum on AVSIM is subject to terms and rules, which you must oblige to, in order to use it. When you post in here, you automatically accept to live by those rules and that's the way it is. If you don't like it you have two options:

1. Don't post in this section of the forum, which is labels as Support Forum for PMDG.
2. Submit a ticket to PMDG and complain directly to them.

In either case, this whole debate is pointless...

Gents,

You all are just **itching** for an opportunity to bat one another about the head and shoulders.

Knock it off!

Take a deep breath, enjoy the company of like minded simmers- and relax a bit.

Besides- you are doing it wrong.  Only PMDG Moderators are allowed to bat forum users about the head and shoulders.  We have professional training and can do it with far more grace, poise and vigor!

And for the "i have to reinstall again?!" whiners:  Brace yourself.  We have another round coming in order to get x64 RAAS back into the mix.    (We told you this was gonna happen!  ahahahahahahaha)
