I'm post SU15 as well, and in my situation I can use the test app to fully access my MCP, EFIS & COM. But it will not connect to MS2020, and of course will not control or display what is going on. I tried a windows uninstall of the CPflight app, and reinstalled, no difference. Is there a separate "driver" for CPFlight to uninstall/reinstall? Running the connector, it never shows CONNECTED. And trying to hit CONNECT a second time, it says COM port already assigned. There is no answer at home, at CPFlight. It has been a week or two. Maybe the boys are out having a long espresso. * Orest

It is best to remove UAC altogether on your FSX machine. It will step around a lot of headaches for you. * Orest

Hans, Is the engravity unit monotone or color? * Orest

There is a CPFlight 737 EFIS "EL" model, for sale on eBay, searching on CPFlight will pop it right up. If this is not an appropriate post here, please fold, spindle or mutilate it as required. * Orest

David, You will enjoy the 737NGX, once you get it set up. How are you doing? * Orest

I am now a big fan of SSDs, at least modern, fast SSDs like the OCX vertex 3. My main FSX computer, I have migrated to an SSD for D: (FSX and add-ons drive), main drive C: (system) currently a WD Caviar -- I am about to replace it with an SSD. Previously I used a Raptor for the FSX drive, it is sitting idle at the moment. I also have two Tb caviars in a RAID 1 (mirror) format as drive E:, which is used for backups of multiple computers on the network. Windows 7 has native TRIM support which largely removes the issue of stray assigned groups of sectors, which otherwise can whittle away performance and available space. SSDs are limited in write counts, but this is unlikely to be a factor in the normal life of the drive/computer. Although initially gun-shy on SSDs, I am in with both feet now. Though they don't make a huge improvement in in-sim performance, startups are much faster, and then run much cooler too. All our laptops are now equipped with SSDs. The only down side is the cost/Gb, but that is coming down fast too. * Orest

Well, third leg done, I'm in Augusta Maine, 5000ft runway. Flaps 40, and didn't waste any time putting it down. Austin Texas next. * Orest

Dennis, Yes, I wanted to sort it differently. In any case, have my own spreadsheet now. (posted upthread) BTW, great idea, thanks for posting. * Orest

I had a look, couldn't find the setting, where exactly? * Orest

OK, here is the US spreadsheet, once downloaded you can sort it any way you wish. Most of the data copied for the kind contribution above. I have included CONUS only, and have not populated lat/long and distances, perhaps someone else can do that. Where the actual capital does not have a civilian airport, the closest major airport is listed in the Other column, but the actual Capital is still listed. https://docs.google....cWU5U0dCcE1XeEk THEN, select File | download. As I go along, will be putting in the flightplans. * Orest

Which language, would you alphabetize in!? * Orest

Dennis, You should upload or link in the spreadsheet. * Orest

Now, do them in alphabetical order of the state! A whole new adventure. * Orest

Helena looks to be a breeze. But, Carson City is a nasty CTL (no straight-in) GPS approach into a valley. * Orest

Chris, I have the MCP-EL and matching EFIS-EL. Love it. BUT, there is something not right with the MINS and BARO setting knob functions on the EFIS. Instead of the values changing smoothly in the sim, like all the other functions on the EFIS & MCP, they change inconsistently and with short "jerks", and even sometimes start to change in the opposite direction, from that expected given the direction you are turning the knob. In other words, I may be turning the knob clockwise, and the value decrements! It is as if the EFIS control panel is by error sending alternately a Rotate RIGHT (increase value) and occasionally a Rotate LEFT (decrease value) command, while I am only turning the knob to the clockwise, to the right. Of course, it should then ONLY be sending a Rotate RIGHT (increase value) command. Do you see this behavior? This is with the latest driver. I thought it might be a driver fault, but I am now wondering if this is a hardware flaw in my unit? Really appreciate if you could let me know if you see this??!! * Orest
