Hi I am using FSX SP2 with DX10 preview and the fixer enabled. For one of my addon aircraft (aerosoft Robin DR-400x), I have no landing lights. They are present in DX9. Do you have an idea of what could be causing this? Is there an option in the fixer to try for me to get rid of this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated. Yves Lefevre PS: Thanks Steve for the outstanding work in your DX10 fixer tool. :smile:

Hi Sven, I had the same, it is because it looks for a file in the folder <your fsx folder>\PMDG\wx. This file has the format "departureicaodestinationicao.wx" and it contains the winds aloft data generated by the weather program. In my case it was AS2012 SP2. I don't know if your program can generate the same data. If yes, copy/paste in a text file, rename to the name specified above and place it in the WX folder, then the wind request will work.If this file is not present, it will CTD Yves

Hi, Almost every time I try to request new Wind data, I got this CTD faulting application fsx.exe version 10.0.61637.0 faulting module PMDG_777X.dll exception code 0xc0000417 fault offset 0x002484ea.... anyone has a clue before I open a support ticket Yves lefevre

Hi all, I had the same problem. The solution for me was to check that before arming the spoilers, my prop syncro switch was OFF. If it was ON and I armed the spoilers, they wouldn't retract sounds weird but it worked for me hope this helps Yves

It seems that I have this beahviour when I forgot to switch off "Prop sync". I have added an item in my descent check list now and it seems to work. They deploy on landing,I wait for 70 knots call then press F1 and they retract.After that it is manual braking thanks for helping Peter Regards Yves

I have the same problem, is there a way to force them to retract? Yves

Nice Pics Volkan

I know and I am happy for you. I am using HF2 and it is working great as well so I don't update anymore now yves

We 'll see your comments when after applying an hotfix, your PMDG plane is not working anymore.If the 737NGX is working as you like then don't update especially if you don't know what kind of patches you are applying.PMDG doesn't publish any release notes for their hotfix and that's for me a problem. Call that the way you want, I call that experience and wisdom. Having that said, The 737 NGX is really a great plane to fly and a nice work (the sounds for example). Yves

Exactly

First go to Overhead panel and move the two IRS switches to NAV (Align sign will illuminate in white)Next go to FMC in POS INIT page click on LSK 1R to put the last position in the scratchpad and next to LSK4 R in SET IRS REF Position (the line with all the squares) now depending on your PMDG setup, you will see your PFD and ND come to live (can take up to 10 minutes if you choose realistic IRS alignment) Regards Yves

Hi Swen, I got the exact same behaviour at MUN airport.At 5000 feet as well. It was my second flight and the sim was running for at least 4 hours. Soon After I experienced a complete freeze of the panel, the plane was still flying but was unusable (no controls worked).I stopped FSX. Applied the PMDG hotfix and then reload a saved flight and I was then able to finish landing at MUN (this time I had no terrain warnings) Yves

Hi,I have downloaded the update for the MD-11 and I am glad to see that the autobrake problem with Saitek Rudder pedals is finally solved.At least now, FSUIPC is not needed anymore.But what about the 744X. Is it planned to update it in the same way as the MD-11?Because now I need two configs for FSUIPC1- without axis processing for brakes (to fly the MD-11)2- with axis assignement for brakes (to fly the 744X)Finally let me conclude in congratulating you for building the most fantastic add-on for FSX (&FS9)RegardsYves Lefevre

In FSX, Autobrakes only works for the MD-11 if the axis is "not processed" in FSUIPC.But For the 744X, I had to do this axis calibration to have the autobrakes to work.My question is : Will PMDG standardize autobrake behaviour on both planes.Because for the moment I have to modify my FSUIPC settings every time I switch plane.very annoyingRegardsYves

Hi,To all having problems with autobrakes and the Saitek X52 and Saitek Rudder pedals.You have to calibrate your pedals in FSUIPC registered,here is a screen shot of the settingshttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/193593.jpgI had the problem with the 744X and it has been solved using FSUIPC, with the MD-11, it is the same and my autobrakes works correctly now for both planes.hope this helpsYves Lefevre

The fact that you have 4gb doesn't change anything.We are talking about virtual adress space here not physical RAM.So don't wait and do it,I am sure you won't regret it.Yves

Aucun problème dans FSX avec Vista 64 à part autothumbnail (pas très grave)Pour DX10 si tu aimes les effets light blooms tu auras un avantage mais mieux vaut rester en DX9 sous FSX, tu auras moins de problèmes.Le DX10 preview on aurait pu s'en passer dans FSX.DX10 est beaucoup mieux utilisé dans d'autres jeux (genre Crysis ou Assassin's creed).Vista 64-bits c'est que du bonheur pour l'instantyves (et oui aussi)

Hi all,AFter installing v 2.10 for FSX.I still have the same problem with autobrakes and rudder pedals(saitek).Also reverse and spoilers don't deploy in spot view altough I have the REV indication on EICAS???The only thing that this update has fixed for me is the CTD with freighter version.Can you help me on thisRegardsYves

je les ai testé mais ils n' arrangent en rien les problèmes DX10 et je dirais même plus ça empireYves
