JerseyDid you check whether you are running windows vista basic as opposed to windows aero?

JohnHe means when taxying (if you read post #7). When airbourne of course there will be a lifting of the wing, the secondary effect of yaw is roll & visa versa, and it's quite pronounced, even in an airliner :)

It's nothing to do with FSUIPC or sensitivities, just turn off Auto Rudder in your a/c settings, this will stop your wings going over on the ground :0)

JerseyAre you running your colour scheme as Windows Vista Basic instead of Windows Aero?Right click on desktop, select Windows Colour & Appearance, and see that Vista Basic is selected.D777

DeltaTo fix this problem follow these instructions.Right click on your desktopClick - PersonalizeClick - Windows Colour & AppearanceSelect - Windows Vista Basic from the Colour Scheme drop down listRestart FS9Enjoy your new working viewsRgdsDean

Something regional, a Dash 8 Q400 would be excellent as I fly her for a living. I can help with her development too if requiredI think the poll is too short as well, there should be a whole lot more a/c catered for in there to get a better concensus.Dean

Dan thanks for this.I have tried, as I say it was eons ago I ordered it, I have tried 2-3 email addresses but no luck, my email is different now to the one/s I was using a year or so ago. I didn't keep the installer either, unless I have any details saved on my old PC, I'll check tomorrow.Am I wrongly assuming PMDG has a record of who has bought what over a period? I don't mind paying for a whatever I need to, so long as I don't have to pay for the entire thing again.Dan do I need to contact anyone via email? I have already sent one last week but I haven't had a response as yet, I don't want to clog up the forum if I can use the email protocol.Thanks for your timeRgdsDean May

Hello allI bought the PMDG 747 when it first came out, I now have a new PC and wish to re-install but I cannot remember whether I purchased it from PMDG or simmarket, there is no trace of it on simmarket so I assume I got it direct from PMDG.I sent an email to PMDG last week about getting a new validation code or what ever it is we need but I have heard nothing yet.I've done a forum search but found very little.Any ideas?RgdsDean May

Hi allI have recently bought a new PC which I have just got up and running, my new system is this.Athlon Quad Core 9850 processorNVidia 9600GT gfx card4gb memoryWindows Vista 64bit.Latest Nvidia Gfx card driversFresh install of FS9Basically when I switch views in full screen mode using the usual S key it works great. But when I ALT ENT to run in a window and then cycle the view with the S key it doesn't work, it basically stays as the cockpit and it attempts to cycle the outside view which it does very poorly. I have re-installed FS9 but it's the same. I am thinking it's purely a Vista 64bit issue.Any ideas please?RgdsDean

Dale we're going to need a bit more information than that.FS9? FSX? What exactly did you copy over and did you "edit" any of the text etc? Can you paste the info you copied over to the config file along with the names of the other folders you placed too.D777

Dreamwings are making a Q400 exclusively for FSX, it will come complete with a panel which we're working on at present. Then we'll think about a VC too.D777

Well said MarkDave, Flight sim is no more of a fantasy than the game of cricket or football I play some weekends, Mark has it spot on here, I think you are being rather forgetful of the common denominator in all this, it's called money, and good money spent as well. If you were to buy a car or new television which had "issues" wouldn't you be peeved if the support for it suddenly disappeared? I don't want to pry into your personal life because I have better things to do, but maybe some people on here can't afford to be buying a second rate product, maybe some people here, and remember there are alot of kids here, have saved up their pocket money for weeks or months to be able to afford to purchase a PSS product in good faith. Maybe the money spent on PSS by yourself is insignificant, but just remember there are people here with different motives to yourself, and that should be perfectly acceptable to you. No matter how well we feel we are "part of the flight sim family" here remember PSS were made who they were by the paying public, no different to any business, some directly and some indirectly, but the public is what makes companies what they are.There is no excuse for PSS not to post on here and let people know what is happening, it doesn't matter how small the info, it will all be pertinent, even a retailer that is going out of business has the decency to put up a sign in the window.How hard can it be for a member of PSS to post something here? you are harping on about them not likely to as they are getting slagged, what do you expect? and quite frankly it is my opinion that the majority of PSS users on this forum couldn't give one iota now whether they have gone out of business or not. PSS are expendable remember, no developer is bigger than the horses that feed it, and if one drops by the wayside (PSS), there will be someone else willing to develop. __________________________________________________Q400 DriverQVA CFI

Excuse my ignorance but what plane are we talking about here?The TERR button on most airliners would mean Terrain Mapping, it does on ours, but I can't see a flight sim a/c being able to model terrain mapping because it is so vast, I may be wrong, but personally I reckon the button is there for show.__________________________________________________Q400 DriverQVA CFI

DaveWhat purpose does the website serve to us? I'll tell you, absolutely nothing, you can't purchase from it and you can't get support from it, it's no more use than a chocolate teapot. The only thing the website is doing is allowing us who have paid for aircraft to download them before the plug is pulled__________________________________________________Q400 DriverQVA CFI

I used to despise all the whingers & moaners on here who whine about the smallest things, but I am afraid I am turning into one of those.If you have received a mail from Graham then he has net access, if he has net access then he can access these forums, if he can access these forums he can make a post himself without relying on a proxy post from someone else, I find this very bizarre.__________________________________________________Q400 DriverQVA CFI

Norman, that may be so, but just a little note containing "please bear with us whilst we sort out x, an announcement will be made shortly" would not be too hard would it? There is no way the members of the PSS "team" are not reading these forums.Dean__________________________________________________Q400 DriverQVA CFI

>If you don't approve of their attitude then maybe offer to>help eh?Missing the point Dave, people have paid for their product (I know you're aware of this) and when they see this "so called" company treating their customers in this manner there will be no enthusiasm to help, why should they? PSS obviously don't give a toss about their customers.I fly the Dash for a living, I am in a position to help, which I will do any way I can but the "silence" of PSS is just breeding more contempt, and if they are indeed still going to trade they may just have put the final nail in the proverbial coffin by keeping zipped.Dean__________________________________________________Q400 DriverQVA CFI

Well I tested it today and we do indeed get a little white circle come up for the TOD point, they say you learn something every day, how true ;)

CW has it spot on, that's what we use on the Q400. Incidentally the Q400 uses the newer UNS-1E FMC with VNAV capability, we do not get a TOD point in ARC mode either, plus there is no autothrottle as expected. VNAV is against company SOPs so we can't use it.D777

JDW how do you decipher that from the previous post? I can't see anything in the last post that would even point to what you are saying

It's ok ignore :-roll I did another search and found itThanks againDean

Hi allI have done a search, but found nothing significant, basically in the 2D cockpit I am sat too low, in FS9 you can hold down SHIFT and press ENTER to "look over" the cockpit and DELETE to "lower" the view, what do I have to do in FSX to get it to do the same? is there an option in the key assignments I can use? if not this will make FSX very disappointingThank you for your helpRgdsDean
