I'm late to the party but I'm currently using v5.4. Is v6 a worthy upgrade to v5?

Disregard. Activation problem solved (firewall).

I'm far from an expert on the inner workings of P3D but I have to agree with you. After many years of FS9, FSX, etc., I switched to P3D 2.5 and have never looked back. Now I'm using v3.3.1765 Professional. The point is that after a few reinstalls over my time with P3D my hard and fast rule is to ONLY install P3D optimized addons. For whatever reason, when trying to port something else over I eventually end up getting trouble of some sort. Part of that is the Estonia Migration Tool (or so it appears). Whatever, the install log I keep for myself has in red letters: DO NOT INSTALL NON P3D ADDONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. So far it's worked for me.

I've done a reinstall of P3D and my PMDG fleet and now have something hanging off the top of the vertical stabilizer. It looks like it's hanging by a wire and has a red bob or something like that attached. What is it and how do I get rid of it? I don't see anything in my aircraft setup, but maybe I'm getting blind. Thanks!!!!

It doesn't. I'm an idiot. I thought the announcement came at a lower altitude.

Bryan, I waited until I could double check but I do have the problem. I reinstalled the April 17, 2016 version (latest) and I use Button Control. Indeed, I get the Cabin Crew call at about 20,000' and Cabin Secure around 13,000'. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

disregard for the time being please

I had the identical problem. The only thing I can think of that could have caused it (the only thing I changed) was an update to the FTX Library. Anyway, I checked and FlexNet had been disabled in Services. I reset it to Automatic and everything is working again. I hope this will be the answer for others.

Byron, Thanks so much. It's working like a charm. I've been flying the PMDG NGX with FS2Crew but splurged and added the iFly as well. FS2Crew makes it flyable. Thanks again (and please ignore the Support Ticket request).

I've installed FS2Crew for the iFly (button) in P3D v3.3. The main panel comes up black, with no way to power it up. Yes, I did install the update. I wonder what I'm missing, help would be appreciated to get this working. Thanks.!

Same problem here. See my post regarding updating FTX Central.

FTX Central was updating itself, combining FTX Global Layers, and then appeared to lock up. It now shows there's an update available won't download it. It's just frozen. Not only that, but whenever I attempt to go to the website I can't get there. Internet Explorer wants to open a file, or something like that. Is there a problem with the site? Thanks.

Any word on VAS usage? I read there's some question as to whether it's increased with this update.

I've always used the button versions but think I might switch over to voice. I'm sure this is a simple question, but what do you use when using FS2Crew with voice? I'm not too keen on wearing a headset. What are the alternatives to a headset?

Scott, I think I should do some more research. I did not think that Win 7 and Win 10 interfaced well together on a network. My supposition must come from the days when I tried to network Win 7 and XP together. I had a very difficult if not impossible time getting them to cooperate (at least that's my memory).
