I'm so bummed. After a two year break I'm back at FSX harder than ever, and was all set to install this great new tool I heard about from Steve... DX 10 Fixer, and its no longer available! Are there any alternatives so that we can fix the DX 10 issues his tool took care of? I'm getting incredible frame rates with DX10 but the flashing and other issues are killing me :-( Hoping there's something else out there to do what his tool did. I can't believe we can't get it anymore. Gavin

Watch your mouth pal. you better believe I'm that upset. I run an IT business and if I treated my clients the way PMDG is I'd LOSE them.You don't know who I am or who I'm like so keep your smartass comments to yourself.

So I go onto the site to re-download the 737 NGX only to find out I have to pay another $5 to re-download a product I've already PAID for.Fine. I pay my $5 and get no link to re-download.Fine. I enter a support ticket with the "Re-download" option and give my order number.Fine. After hours of waiting still nothing so I enter another request on the same ticket.Hours later again and STILL nothing.This is why software get's pirated.As a LONG TIME customer of PMDG I concider this a slap in the face.__Gavin Steiner

I purchased Radar Contact 2 years ago, and was told by the develper that they're working on a next version. Is this not the case? Shame if this awesome add-on has been abandoned. Gavin

I just purchased and installed the GeForce GTS 250 in my 2.2 GHz Quad core machine with 3GB RAM.I am SO dissapointed!!I replaced my GeForce 8800 GT card, and my frame rates are now PATHETIC!Is there something I might be missing here, or is this just a BAD card?Any advice/experience would be appreciated.Gavin

Weird. The FMC offered an ILS approach.

I just flew a flight from KMIA to TNCM. The flight went great, up until it was time to capture the localizer. it didn't.I was vectored to final approach for runway 9, and verified that the correct frequency was listed in the FMC. 113.00.I selected LOC mode well before crossing the localizer, but it wasn't captured. I didn't even see the "localizer/Glideslope" registering on the PFD.At this point I was not in LAT or VNAV mode.I've found this is the case any time I'm on a flight plan in the 747. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?Gavin Steiner,RW Provate Pilot - YYZP.S. I was vectored to runway 9, but the FMC only gave the option for runway 10... however in both cased the frequencies were the same. 113.00

I hope it's ok to post a screenshot here. this was an incredible flight from KSFO to KLAX. I've never seen FSX more realiatic!Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/189813.jpg

I had to post this! Gavinhttp://www.interprom.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Here's the ALTAVISTA/Babelfish translatino :)Hello, and welcome aboard Boeing 737NG. This tutorial will help you in the comprehension of the various systems of the plane as well as the communications between the various speakers, namely, the tower, the approach and control. We will not have to make communication with the ground in this exercise. We see in this moment the outside of the apparatus and we are on the air of parking n

WestCoast ATC (www.westcoastatc.com) had PMDG specifid flights often, and has almost DAILY flights with FULL atc, using stricktly FS9 Multiplayer and Teamspeak.In my opinion it's the easiest, yet most realistic online flying with ATC out there.

Sheesh! You're right.Why was I under the impression CRZ changed to DEC on the EICAS? Kinda makes sense that it WOULD though, doesn't it?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Since the 800/900 upgrade, I find that the FMC doesn't switch form CRZ to DECENT mode on the panel.The decent is commanded at TOD, and flies the path fine, but the display continues to display CRZ.Is this something I mihgt be doing wrong?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Even if it's not in NAV1??Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

I was flying LNAV when ATC instructed me to track radial 055 once crossing the next VOR in the flight plan.I already had the ILS tuned into VOR1 as I was only a few miles from the airport.How should I have come off LNAV and instead tracked the 055 radial outbound using NAV2 or the FMC?I just used heading mode and hoped the winds would die down ;)Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

That is a SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS aricraft.Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

That is BAAAAAADGavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

If, for whatever reason, I have had to descend in level change mode before the FMC has switched to descent mode, I've noticed the FMC stays in cruise.Is there a way to "force" the FMC to enter descent mode and take over the descent profile again after leaving VNAV and descending manually or with Level Change?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

For those of us who want to be as "real as FS gets" ;), can anybody post some realisitic LOAD coimbinations for the 6/7/8/900 aircraft?I'm just GUESSING when I go into the load manager and setting number od PAX and cargo weight. MOre realistic figures, or a guideline to ereach them would be awesome!Thanks,Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Thanks!!! Can you tell us what software you are using to capture and to edit?I use Vegas Video 4.0 for editing, but haven't found a way to capture flights yet.Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Brad - Isn't 0405242000 May 24 2004 at EIGHT PM GMT??? ;)Also, the time for the Americas ends up being 11:pm or midnoght for half the continent. Maybe a bit earlier?We'll work this all out! :)Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Where is the Emma field one?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Thanks Vulcan! Thats EXACTLY why I posted the questoin.I figured SADDE SIX was the only obvious STAR to plan - but runway 6L was in use. Going from the end of the STAR to 6L won't work.In the real workd - would SADDE SIX have even been concidered when planning?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

I'm a bit confused in the flight planning process as to WHEN yo uwould normally choose a STAR.For example - the preferred route from KSFO to KLAX is V27 VTU V299 SADDE V107 LAXWhen would you choose the STAR to use? I would GUESS after you've received the ATIS?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!
