Thanks, and yes, I was wondering about my PMDG products.too. So how do you manage PMDG?

Thanks,

Mike

Load up in a PMDG aircraft -> FMC -> PMDG Setup -> License -> UNREGISTER PRODUCT and then repeat for all available aircraft NGX(u)/747/777...

Ok, and that should allow me to install them on my new computer without issues? Interesting!

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, you will get the black screen with the white box asking you to enter your serialnumber and away you go again!

Wow. I'll do that. Thank you very much !

FYI, you might have to Alt+Tab as the dialog box may be hiding behind the P3D window.

Bear in mind it’s not a race. I installed a few airports and then checked all was well. Lorby’s Addon Organizer is brilliant for ensuring everything is as it should be.

The trickiest bit was ORBX and its insertion point. Make sure you adjust that early on. And don’t forget ORBX Global package and opting to make a separate install and not overwrite the default textures. There was a right old stink about that when it first came out.

Hi, Ray. about ORBX, should I uninstall all of my products, then start over with the new PC?

I would. That way ORBX Central knows the status of each product.

Hi, again Ray. It's like you said, This is not a race!! It takes a few days, or more. Just getting windows settings the way you like them is about an hour! We've all been through the new computer upgrade. I can't wait to get it. This will probably be my last one, I'm 67 and in very poor health. Heart, lungs, and fighting cancer. Better do it now!! Sorry to dump that on ya.

Take care, and thanks again!

Mike

@simaddict, sorry to hear about your health. Make the most of it. If you fancy a new monitor then treat yourself. It took me several weeks to install all my airports and I still buy them. Prices are very reasonable for quality addons.

Provided you have not excided your limit. PMDG has limit to the number of installs then you need to contact PDMG for help.

Nice system by the way! You should be set up for great simming with that PC.Good luck with the installs.👍
