Thx everybody, but the manual with the add-on isn't all that good, of course, but you can get the Proline/FMS manual directly on the web. Having said this I am stuck with flightplans that have auto/inhibit in the first right hand column of the FPLN, and as I can't get rid of it, it shows 0 miles to the next waypoint regardless of whether it is 1000 miles away. As a result I either use the heading bug and fly the courses, or just go round in circles for ever. What error am I making. I suspect that Milviz is taking the extra time to get the highly complex FMS to fire on all cylinders, but this add-on seems a compromise. However, this is a nice aircraft as long as I can figure out the shortcuts.

Bert: I won't unleash my frustrations about the Carenado G1000. Suffice it to say that flightplanning is a nightmare and the supplied manual doesn't match at all. If I could get the mod to merge the GTN 750 with the TBM 850 I would be grateful.

Mindstar mods, if I can be assured of the capacity to install your G1000 in the carenado c90, then you can be assured of a sale. Please respond and I will respond in the best possible way.

I seem to have mislaid the instruction for fitting the Mindstar G1000 into the Carenado C90. The supplied abbreviated version of the Honeywell system is woeful. Could someone kindly point me to, or post the installation directions. Most grateful.

It is clear from my experience and the comments of others that Carenado have NOT replicated the Proline series and the FMC, Instead they have adjusted it, I assume, to make an easier version of the real one. However, it has incomprehensible VNAV path characterisitics, I am not concerned that Computer based management is different from the original, but it does mean that Carenado owes us a manual that fully explains their version of Proline. After all we fly the sim aircraft, not the real one, so we look for guidance how to handle the equipment in the psuedo vehicle that we buy and fly. Carenado has a reputation for building good models and providing full explanation. The C90 is very much the exception.

Thx Jim.

The Manual says that to enter a cruise altitude, then you should enter say /200. But where?? There is no initial page as in heavier aircraft, so where does it get put, or must it be entered into the legs page at every cruise level waypoint? If there is an FMC guide then I would be grateful if someone could kindly point me to it.

I have just reinstalled my 737NGX and have run up against the problem of no content in the HGS when I bring it down. I vaguely remember this was an early problem so I would be grateful if someone could point me to the solution. Warmest regards, Ian McPhail, Gold Coast Australia.

I am sorry, maybe I am wrong, but itsn't the mesh used by Orbx the FS Global Mesh? Holger's mesh is available for Australia and is excellent, and also for some partial regions elsewhere. For Vector which is something else again, the configurator irons out the elevation anomalies created by add-on and default airports being slightly different.

Robert, very good news. I have the NGX running really well in P3v3, but I miss the brilliant 777.

I have P3Dv3 installed, and I seem to have successfully installed PMDG 737. I was going to use the 737 exclusively while waiting for other publishers to come up with installers, and maybe even wait for any hotfixes. However none of the LSKs or any keys work in the CDU, ... and nor does the autobrake and there may be others. I have run a repair and it doesn't work, or should I really remove the NGX root and branch and try again? Or do you have a fix? Ian McPhail

I must be missing something. Neither FSX nor its successor, P3D, is coded for SLI. If it was I would have a second card installed immediately. Two cards may help with multi-monitors, but the game is not running in SLI. I run two monitors and a TV set off my one card ( a 790). The dream, what is the dream? P3D in 64 bit and SLI. Now wouldn't that be something!

Thx Brian, you really give good service. I am away from my game computer at the moment, so can I just re-check with you about Briefings. Is there a way to skip a briefing and go to another, or must I quickly scroll through them all until I get to the one that I want. eg. if I load a flight onto a runway, with engines running (time is often short), can I go straight to the Takeoff briefing, or do I scroll through the lot?

I am elderly, but that's a weak excuse. When I have the Main Panel up and I select cfg mode I just can't get out of it, How to I cancel config.... the button doen't seem to do it. Second, if I start with engines running how do I get Crew to jump briefings to the pre-taxi briefing or do I just have to scroll through them all?

On second thoughts, I will wait for your Reboot version in about a month (was it?). Meanwhile, tomorrow, payday for me, I will buy the PMDG 777 version with a P3Dv2 installer and try to get voice working for me. Up until now I have only used the button versions. Are there any v2.5 surprises, hitches or care-taking required??

Sorry, my FSX folder is long gone. Cld you give me the entry for the panel.cfg?

I would like to install FS2 Crew into the PMDG 737NGX, which I bought with the P3D installer. Your product page says your PMDG NGX version is supported for FSX only. However you clearly are used to it being installed into P3Dv2xxx Could you or somebody please point me to any tips and tricks needed to get the installation right. I would be most grateful....

Strength and peace be in you.... Strength and peace be in you....

I have the Navigraph 1503 Airac installed into Prepar3d\PMDG\Navdata ...but on start up the 737NG FMC still gives the "Navdata out of date" message... which implies the 1108 Airac is still operative. Is this the correct path, ie within the PMDG Module, or should the Navdata be installed elsewhere?

I am not sure where all this has got me. I am looking for a flightplanner that will produce a plan that will import into the PMDG777, when I request route. I have satisfactory planners that will show the route but I then have to painstakingly input the plan waypoint or airway by airway.

21 pages of guesses and hopes. Whatever it is, it will be well and truly fully committed by now and underway so our desperate prayers will avail us not at all. First, I really want the 737NG and 777 ported to P3D. These are already on the list so I now await their arrival in turn. The aviation industry has gone big time for the Boeing 787, which is far more than just a 767 replacement. I doubt it is the surprise (after all who would have guessed the J41), but I think the 787 would be a profitable and welcomed addition to the PMDG stable. So please Cpt,, please.

Captain, I'm yours. I might fume over the fact that as a P3D only simmer, I will have to buy a new full-price licence, although my paid for FSX download sits in storage. But after the grumble I will buy, and the 737 when ported, and maybe the 747v2 although by now I think I'd prefer a 787. It's real world impact makes that sensible, rather than the poor old 747 now headed for the knackers' yards. I have P3Dv2 academic version, an nVidia 790 and the result is a powerful versatile sim, and with a dedicated team at LM steadily improving and upgrading, it is always exciting.

I have been flying both of the aviailable Airbus commercial add-ons in P3D. The only identifiable advantage of the BBS version is better fps. Otherwise the AXE is a more complete product. However I am flying the BBS at the moment and it is spoiled by this purple cube sitting in the eyeline. It is not a demo version, nor is it on time payment, nor have I forgotten to make the necessary obeisance to all and every deity. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it? And here's a shiny Air Malta A319 over Gozo on departure from the George Cross Island, (if you have never read the novel The Kapilan of Malta, do so.). The Maltese endured a lot for the west in WW2.

It is interesting to read this thread purely by the Randazzo interventions. There is substantial comfort even if bounded by some imprecision. I acknowledge the essential need for devs to recover costs+ to stay in business. It would seem that most of us agree, but then start pleading self-interest. If I have to pay a full and new price for PMDG T7 and 737NG then that is the market, and each of us has a choice. In my case I will happily pay, if in your case you decide against, then there is an array of other planes to fly. But I Want, and can afford the best, so please expedite PMDG for P3D. Please leave the fundamentalist positions in abeyance for the time being, unless you can persuade me that Flight under new ownership wil ever cut the mustard!

I have CS777 running superbly in P3Dv2.3. The only bug is the speed tape where fonts have to be reduced to a minimum for the magnified portion to read accurately. As my eyes are old I have learned to fly the CS777 ignoring this inaccuracy. Also I am the only person in the flightsimming world who has a degraded ACES.
