Nah, it'll buff right out! :smile:

Thank you sir! Trying to fly from PANC to KMEM I started to get CTD's - renamed this file and I'm well past the point where it used to crash.

Chuck, I don't recall it being overly difficult, but then I've been in various IT roles for the past 30 odd years Yell if you need some assistance, there's plenty of people here

I run Win 7 on my main FS machine and Win10 on my support machine. I have ASN, FSC, a flight tracker, WideClient, PFPX all running without issue under Win 10 interfaced to my Win 7 machine via both simconnect and FSUIPC.

I reckon it was that most dangerous thing, an intelligent sheep (cue Eric Idle)

Some of the other interesting things that 744's carry is live sheep, on the inside, not on the wing. Seems a 744F had to divert to WIII after a fire sensor in the cargo hold went off - the story is that it was a result of a lot of sheep farting at once

Niice shots. I bought Xplane 10 but it sits on the shelf - I could not get used to the interface. Maybe I've been using FSX/2004/2002 etc for too long

I had problems with PMDG aircraft after going to Win 10 - back on Win 7 and all is well. I doubt I'll be upgrading my FS machine for a while yet. I do have Win 10 running on my utility computer that runs ASN, FSC, PFPX etc.

Back to Windows 7 and all is happy again

Strange Win 10 issue here. I can load the 777 but as soon as I hit Ctrl-F12 to bring up GSX for pushback I get a CTD - the faulting module is PMDGOptions.dll with an exception code of 0xc0000005. No problems with any other addons, GSX works fine with them. FSX:SE, Win 10 Professional x64, 16GB RAM, i4790K @ 4GHz

There should be a link for a locked version as well - click the link in the message.

Thanks Jim, I did try the run as admin and UAC was set to the lowest setting. I had run the Op Ctr and checked versions, but can't recall what the module was that faulted and having restored I can't see it now. I'm back on Windows 7 for now - will probably do a clean install of 10 later and try again.

Strange problem here - upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate last weekend, running FSX:SE, did a couple of flights in Aerosoft's A32x, no problems. Fast forward to this morning (AUS time) thought I'd get some 777 hours in - halfway through loading the PMDG 773 Windows experienced a problem, crash - restart, same problem. Restart, load the trike and fly around with no problems, load the 773, crash. Eventlog shows a 0xc0000005 error which is usually permissions. Went back to Windows 7 and I've been in the air for the past 4 or so hours with a problem. Will probably do a clean install once this flight is over and see how it goes.

Just a heads up that fspilotshop.com appear to have had a security breach involving their email database. I began receiving spam on a unique email address that was only ever used at fspilotshop.com. After contacting them they advised We believe we have located and sealed the possible breach. We were testing our newsletter subscription process and some e-mails from the list may have been accessible for a short period of time. I have been assured that no credit card data was compromised but they did not advise whether any other data was included in the breach. If you use the same password on multiple sites you may want to consider changing them.

Thanks Pete - I checked yesterday afternoon and saw no new update, thought I was losing it.....

Have they resolved the terrain.dll issue? Last I saw was that a beta version had been made available, and then withdrawn - was an update released?

No problems, I find it funny too. Mind you the scenery is spectacular

A large part of my family still live there, my wife is Papua New Guinean, and sadly yes it can still be quite dangerous both from a flying perspective and on the ground. The weather in the highlands areas is unpredictable at best and can close in very quickly - I flew into Goroka one morning with the sun shining, a beautiful day; when it came time fly out the place was covered in low cloud and the incoming aircraft had to divert to Nadzab (Lae). The crime situation in the major cities can be quite severe although if you keep your wits about you everything should be OK. I lived in Port Moresby for 12 years and was only held up once. The villages are quite beautiful and in a lot of cases are subsistence based - the men go hunting and the women tend the gardens. Funnily enough, a large part of my family is from Rigo which is in the middle of the Owen Stanley Ranges, and we keep in touch via facebook! No power or running water, but the village is on the top of a ridge and on the next ridge across is a phone tower

An interesting document - the ski jump runway is very common, Kundiawa comes to mind, in Chimbu (Simbu) province - search Wikipedia for Chimbu Airport to see a photo.

I flew into KRK years ago in a twotter, was doing some work at the mine - I doubt FSX will model it well but the strip has a dip in the middle - it can also get quite foggy. We flew from Mt Hagen and encountered the worst CAT I have ever seen in a small aircraft, the pilot later told me that we dropped about 2,000 ft when we literally hit a hole in the sky - not uncommon in PNG mountain flying.

Thinking about getting UT2 but have a couple of questions: 1. Does UT2 work with the Steam version of FSX? 2. What is the latest schedule provided? I've tried to look for answers on their support forum but I can't get into the FAQ section :(

I was just guessing that you'd be installing and tweaking when you got home - looking forward to reports

Looking good Rob, when do you fly home? Would like to hear some opinions before I build/order mine.

Yes, I just noticed that - hey I'm going to be a 12 year old again!

Yes I know what you mean, whilst not quite as remote as you, Townsville can be a tad limited in computer parts stores - gotta love internet shopping! BOM has the WA region as a moderate cyclone risk for Tuesday and Wednesday. Should be our turn in a couple of weeks if the models are right. There is a thread running at http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/topic/i7-5820k/ that discusses the 5820K - links also to Toms Hardware and Guru3D - ignore the obvious troll and some of it makes sense. I'll probably be building, or having a box built for me, in the next couple of weeks - probably through Umart or Mwave.
