Hi, Just recently purchased a new computer, i7 , SSD and all the goodies. In my old machine I have a 112GB of FSX "material" and I wonder if there is a way to "transfer" all of this to the new computer without too much hassle. I have experimented with this quite a bit by now (just moved the whole thing into the new computer via network in a copy-paste manner) but since then only troubles of different kind are showing up. So, before I go the long way any suggestions that may help? Is creating an image (ACRONIS for example) and spilling everything back into the new one, will do the trick? Thanks Benny

I am getting the exact same thing as described in Emi's post. That is following installation on a new computer (it worked fine before). I could not find any help in this post or elsewhere. Thank you Benny K

Q_flyer, Let me suggest here that if you use both weather engines at the same time (OPUS and ASN) who knows what happens in terms of parameters injected into FSX? Few month ago I encountered the same with the NGX. I had both AS2012 and OPUS running at the same time and got very strong bumping and throwing around to the point I had to cut the flight off in the middle. I believe one cannot use both programs at the same time unless you disable OPUS weather engine. Obviously, I cannot prove that but based on my experience and your description here I think this is the case. Thanks Benny

Well, after a while can report back. I was using OPUS weather when this happened. When running with no sim acceleration, all was fine. Long flights - long time. So I stopped using acceleration mode until yesterday when I first used Hi-Fi just released ASN. This crazy behavior did not occur with ASN and I completed a full flight WITH sim acceleration mod set in the PMDG 777x. Thank you all. Benny

Can this be done in any way? Thanks BK

Maybe the machine cannot deal with it, not fast enough, while as you said, loosing LNAV and VNAV. I did a re-install of the T7 and repeated same route. Again, it happens. It's not the T7 by itself. I tend to believe it's weather related as suggested by Mike above. Once it happens I reloaded the flight from a point 20 minutes back (Autosaved by FSUIPC), reduced time acceleration to x2, added temperature smoothness in OPUS and this time FSX managed to keep the A/C "in the air". I am gonna be headed to the opus FORUM... Benny

It is 157NM from KENAL (as you can see on the screen shot). I think it's on the Himalayan somewhere (North of India). This is why altitude is 8300 feet and if you look carefully in the screenshot you can see the mountain where the aircraft put itself. 25 deg C? In the Himalaya? Don't think so... Anyway, I am using OPUS SW for weather and so far did not have problems with it flying the NGX for hundreds of flights. KENAL N3703.4 E06246.7 N644 122 90 3286 In any event I already re-installed and we'll see the results during the upcoming weekend. Benny

Thanks for that. If you don't use time compression, you know how long it takes... And, monitoring it all the time is out of the question.Do you think it's due to time compression? It happens during cruise and not after TOD. What you see in the screen shot is time 08:28 hours into a 12 hours flight (more or less). Step climb is automatic in my options. Benny That's a good description of what's happening in my case, just replace the MD11 with the T7... I decided and executed a re-install... we'll see in few days how / if this helped. Benny

Right. It seems the autopilot is somehow disconnected as it looses lateral and vertical navigation. However, I wonder why that happens because the screenshot shows AP still engaged.

HUH? Exactly the right response. I am saying that every time I see that... BK

This is really strange and I could not find anything in the forum related to such an issue. 1. It happens only in long haul flights. You can see in the SS that time in flight was 8:28 hours en route EGLL-WSSS. When it happens it always happens in the last third of the flight (Time-wise). 2. The problem: The 777x "Lands" itself in an uncontrollable manner. The engine still running, everything looks good (except of the impact of the "landing" like tail strike for example). See that even the landing gear somehow drops down for landing, all by itself... How can this happen, I wonder. 3. Obviously I do not seat at the sim in such a long flights. I am by the sim until cruise level and then I activate the "Auto-cruise" feature (today I tried x4 only and it still did it) and leave. If I come back too late, the T7 is on the ground (FSX crash detection is disabled). 4. I saved the panel state and files can be shared if required. 5. I can certainly say that it does not happen in short haul flights. Yesterday I did a 3.5 hours flight WSSS-VHHH and it was fine using X16 acceleration. I was sitting by the sim for the time it took (about an hour+). Machine specs attached. It’s not the most advanced rig but 777X runs just fine with the help of EXTREME FSX PC from FSPS. Appreciate if anyone can pick this up and provide a hint as to which direction to go here. Until such time no long haul flights... Thanks Benny K
