Thanks for the reply. I too was thinking I should have 32 GB memory. My current PC has 24 GB and a 2TB HD which is running out of space. I may wait till the fall when chip supplies increase and there are better prices on new PC's Ron

How would this computer run in MSFS 2020 or P3D v5 ASUS ROG Strix G35DX-DS73S Gaming Desktop PC, AMD Ryzen 7-3700X CPU, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD + 512GB SSD, 8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX2070 Super Graphics, Windows 10 Home Brand: ASUS Ron Service

How would you rate the xplane 727 against the Captain Sim version Ron Service

Will the above joystick work on ms 2020 Ron

Has anybody got the QW 787 immersion to work properly. I purchased it via ORBX and have yet to get it to work. I have the PMDG 747 which works ok. Any help appreciated Ron Service

When does the sale end? Ron Service

Referring to the title. I believe this is a free upgrade. Are there drawbacks? Any help appreciated. Ron Service

Thanks for your reply Bob. After further attempts at trouble shooting, I've found that Microsoft.net framework is also screwed up and also Java. I could not repair either of them with the relevant software. Also, with Windows 10, .net framework cannot be uninstalled. I ended up calling in Geek squad. They worked on it for about six hours. and ended up reinstalling Windows 10 . i.e. option retaining files. That did not fix it. I may have no alternative but to do a complete reinstall of Windows 10 including all files, which of course means reinstalling all apps. I guess I should do as you do and in the future as following good housekeeping, do a system backup each month. What would you recommend I do in the way of backing up my apps if possible. I have lots of PMDG apps P3Dv4 and many other flight simulator apps , also a couple of external drives. Any help appreciated Ron Service

I guess some of you guys have experienced this. It happens mainly when I start P3D 4 but occurs with other apps , FSX steam seems to work OK . The history of the problem started with me running PMDG Operations center 2, which said there was an update. When I tried to install the update, it wiped out Operations Center 2, and when I tried to find it I messed up some files. I was able to do a restore to 2 days back and most things work partially. The desktop is screwed up partially. I am pretty computer literate but don"t want to get expensive help if I can fix it myself. Any help appreciated Ron Service

Anyone had any unauthorized charges on their credit cards as a result of transactions with Flightbeam? Ron Service

My prayers are with you and your family Jim, and thanks for all the help you have given me and others over the years Blessings Ron Service

I had the same problem with just the 747 models. The solution was to free upgrade to 4.4. Make sure you have your license and password data for p3d Ron

Since the update I cannot display any 747 model , 737 and 777 are OK Ron

Thanks guys, uninstalling the client and reinstalling it did the trick. Make sure you have your p3dv4 license and password handy as you will have to reactivate them Ron

After loading an aircraft in p3dv4, either 737 or 777, the virtual cockpit displays but is not initialised, i.e. no buttons are changeable

Caution, Always print out your invoice and license information. I have tried to retrieve my license data for P3d v4 but because this data is associated with my original email address, Lockheed cannot confirm my license data or its contents, so I cannot use P3D v4 which I paid for. I did print out the invoice and license data for V3 and that works, so forewarned is forearmed or four legged or whatever. Ron

I purchased LOWI at the current sale but I cannot download it via FTX central. I have downloaded other ORBX products without problems. The LOWI product is listed in my account. I have contacted ORBX forums but have not yet received a reply. Any help appreciated. Ron

I used to make videos with Nvidia shadow play. The latest driver version 378.66 has eliminated shadow play for a new setup that includes streaming. I don't use streaming but make videos for my own use. The resolution is OK in FSX but looks terrible in P3D. I wonder if anyone can help me with the settings for P3D. The new PMDG 747-400 V3 looks stunning in P3D V3 but the recordings are not up to snuff. Any help appreciated Ron Service

I have seen the same thing, but you have to wait at least ten seconds for the other sim to totally terminate. Ron Service

OK, I did as suggested with FSX and now have the correct airac cycle in FSX. I still have the wrong cycle in steam, so need to experiment some more. Ron

The FMC is showing an Airac cycle 1309 Aug22/Sep18/13. However the NAVDATA folder contents show Airac cycle 1702 (02/Feb/2017-01/Mar/2017) Is the wrong NAVDATA being loaded into the FMC? Any help appreciated Ron

Where can you get microsoft combat fs3 now Ron

Glynn, no they have not closed the forums. Please do some research before making blanket statements. Ron

Microsoft did a major update to W10 which caused me a lot of problems, mainly due to their fragmentation of my fsx files. I had to defragment to get loading times any where near reasonable using a third party program which is also a booster. Ron

Due to major update on windows 10 , Im getting a reactivation required notice and then a too many reactivations, access denied notice. Can this be rectified, since it is a screw up by Microsoft. Any help appreciated. Ron Service
