    Hi,

    Download the 10 day trial to see how Pilot2ATC would work on my Win 11 computer and I am having problems with SQL Server error messages and flashing black screens. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both pilot2atc and SQL Server 2014 and tried stopping and starting SQL Server using the command prompt but to no avail. I should be grateful for any advice as to whether this is a comptability problem with Win 11. For the record, I bought a Win 11 computer, I didn't upgrade from Win10.

    Thanks

    Just an update on my question. All my hardware, joystick, panels etc are Virpil. I note on the Linda "set-up joysticks" panel that my virpil hardware has ID numbers but no Serial Numbers [NoSerNum}.

    I guess this is the cause of my problem. How do I deal with this issue?

    many thanks

    Hi,

    Just intalled registered copy of FSuipc 7 for mfs 2020 and Linda and PMDG 737 profile. All appears to be set up correctly but I cannot get the assignments I have sent in Linda to have any effects in the sim. When I configure the assignments in Linda (eg. APU start to button on Virpil panel) and click save, should the effect be seen immediately in the sim? I have researched the problem and followed the instructions but I must have done something wrong. FSUIPC and Linda are installed in a folder on my C/drive and mfs 2020 is installed on my D/drive, in case that makes a difference. Is there a file somewhere that I can check to see if my assignments have been effected properly. 

    many thanks

    Hello,

     

    I recently bought this program in coordination with my purchase of FS Labs A320X because I'd read that this new plane may cause problems with VAS shutdowns.

     

    Until installing DX10 fixer, I'd never had any VAS problems. Ironically, I now have lots of VAS problems. Probably something I'm doing wrong.

     

    The reason for my post is that I can't seem to restore DX9. I've followed the instructions but when I run fsx afterwards, the scenery loading screen gets stuck on 80%.

     

    I would like to restore DX9 to check whether this improves the situation.

     

    Any advice would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Hi all,

     

    I have recently reinstalled my Q400 after installing an SSD in my computer and now i seem to have a problem with the plane flying with a permanent 10 degree right-hand bank when flying on autopilot.

     

    Strangely, the plane still flies in a straight line and follows the flightplan. The rudder is shown as centred. I believe my hardware (saitek yoke) is properly configured. Since reinstalling the Q400, i have also installed the latest patch, in case that is relevant.

     

    Many thanks

    Hi,

     

    I wondered whether you guys could take a look at this screenshot of my NGX and help me diagnose the problem.

    I have be using the NGX with ezdok and track IR for a long time with no problems. Then suddenly, this problem arises.

     

    I have deleted the fsx.cfg and let it rebuild. Resolved problem but only for a few minutes. I have also configured ezdok, in case that is the issue.

     

    Thanks for any advice

    I was on a flight to BIKF last night and decided to select a hydraulic system A failure and run through the QRH. Just for something to do! I noted that such a failure stops the gear from working and necessitates employment of alternate gear. From researching the forum, I noted that the NGX doesn't model alternate gear so I thought that I wouldn't be able to lower the landing gear at all. However, the landing gear lowered just fine with a hydraulic system A failure.

     

    So my question is: does the hydraulic system A failure have any consequences which are modelled for the NGX? If there are no consequences for the landing gear, are the other matters mentioned in the QRH not modelled either?

     

    Obviously, it could all be my misunderstanding. It normally is.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. I did some more research and found that I can assign a key through pmdg options for AP disconnect and then link it to my joystick. You are correct, if I push the disconnect button twice, it silences the alarm. But it would be good, if you ask the FO to disconnect the AP, that he also pushes the button twice in order to silence the alarm.

     

    Regards

    I loved the PMDG MD11 when it was first released, a far more interesting plane to fly then the 737 or 747 (IMHO) but the graphics are looking a little tired now that I have flown the NGX and unless they update them, which I doubt, I probably won't fly it again. I am even considering selling my manuals. Yes, I know that is sacrilege:)

    Hi,I wondered whether someone could take a look at my Hugs zoom problem and give me some advice.I use Ezdok and TrackIR and have set WideView Aspect=Truehttp://www.dropbox.com/gallery/28892583/1/Shared%20Photos?h=1131e8Many thanksBill Miller

    On a flight from London Heathrow to Zurich, I had my first fire warning since flying the NGX, on any PMDG plane for that matter.I had noticed during the flight that the brakes were still hot even 40 mins after takeoff, so decided to monitor situation. In due course, fire alarm went off and wheel well fire light came on. After short period of indecisiveness, I read the QRH which told me to slow down so that I could lower the landing gear. This seem to work and the fire warning indications ceased. I kept the gear down but the brakes continued to rise in temp to 10c until landing.Just thought I would share. I don't know how these things are modelled but I wondered whether there would have been a chain of events if I hadn't lower the gear.Finally, I had a slight aborted takeoff before the flight and I guess this may have caused the problem. RegardsBill Miller
