As you have an ASUS Board they may still bundle the AiSuite in which you will be able to check the stability of voltages through the Probe option.

I'd be on the track of PSU and RAM. When my machine played up a couple of months back I had both RAM and PSU tested to rule out problems. It turned out that my issue was an outdated BIOS. After updating it I haven't had a problem since (touch wood) and have installed Windows 7 64 bit twice and downloaded all relevant updates including SP1.

Could be that you haven't switched off bleed air and started the packs.

Forum is available for me at least.

Have you tried getting on the forum recently Ray? I get a message saying my account has been suspended but have no reason why. Got on a couple of days ago but today - nothing.

I've bought my last offering from Imaginesim. I emailed them at the end of April and received a response from Cal saying he would look into my issues - both the runway lights and the misaligned AFCAD but nothing has eventuate. Sceneries are overpriced anyways.

I've been in contact with Ryan and he is stumped by these problems. I have followed the instructions in the file you mentioned but without success. The dll.xml has a single entry in it when the NGX is loaded and that is the HUD interface dll. When i load the 777 a couple more are added - RAASPRO and the PMDG Interface. I'm planning to uninstall the lot including the OS and start again but have the PC think it is a standalone not part of a LAN. I want to trigger the activation which doesn't happen at the moment and see if that makes a difference. I have loaded the Aerosoft A320 and I get asked to enter serial details during the process. Can't understand why PMDG doesn't but that may be down to my my level of understanding of these things. I only want to have the NGX and 777 loaded on two platforms for a short space of time while I move everything across to the newer higher specced machine the FSX (Boxed) will be removed and with it the PMDG products. We'll see what happens over the coming days.

When the NGX is first loaded in FSX SE and is also loaded in FSX MS (on a networked machine) does it apply the normal activation routine? I have both the NGX and T7 loaded in FSX SE and basically neither will load and crash FSX when selected. Ryan is looking at the problem but I wondered if anyone else has a similar setup and is managing to get the thing to work. Thanks

Yeah - installed each of them. Not sure where to go from here - probably PMDG ticket time.

You have heard the term 'your mileage may vary' - well my mileage is currently zero success. I have it installed and right now the only think that works is the base system. I have downloaded the corrected versions of the PMDG NGX and 777 and the Aerosoft A320. Neither will work and right now I'm think that I would have had more fun using the $25 as paper starter for a BBQ. I will keep persevering but there is a somewhat nasty taste in my mouth that won't easily go away. Having said this there are others for which this has been a godsend.

OK - there must be something more going on then. I'll persevere and see what comes of it but I must say I'm not that confident of success. Seems strange it loads into FSX SE without a problem, each of the four Simconnect modules are identified in 'Currently Installed' programs, the aircraft is able to be selected from within FSX SE and yet when it is selected it effectively fails to load correctly to the point where I can select either a time of day, airport or finalise the load and bring it into use.

I have the Steam version of FSX loaded on a network machine and the original NGX still loaded on the main machine. They will eventually change places in the hierarchy when the time is right. Am I able to load the NGX on the Steam machine without removing it from the original installation or must this be done first? I was hoping I would be able to continue with FSX MS while migrating all my stuff to FSX SE but if that isn't possible then I'll have to do what with the migration then make the break. I did (have) followed the instructions in the file you mentioned.

I have just downloaded and installed FSX SE. I downloaded the latest version of the NGX, 777 and the 777 expansion and loaded them into FSX. It struck me as unusual that I wasn't asked for a Serial Key but continued. When I opened FSX the aircraft were in the directory so I selected the NGX and the process froze on me. Now it is cycling between responding and not responding as seen through Task Manager window with the image of the aircraft being replaced by a black window. When the image returns it has rotated a few degrees but at that point is not responding. Any suggestions?
