Hi As a returning simmer to FSX after a two year break I need some help with retrieving activation codes for the JS41 / 737ngx / 747 so I can re-install them to a fresh copy of FSX. Can anyone from PMDG assist me. Many thanks Roger McNeill - EGPF

Hi I am just returning to FSX and PMDG aircraft after a two year break and whilst I still have the aircraft file downloads - I have mislaid my activation codes for 737ngx / js41 and 747 could anyone from PMDG help me on this matter so I can re-install the aircraft to a fresh version of FSX. Many thanks Roger McNeill - EGPF

You would think that when an aircraft on a runway is cleared for a take off or an aircraft is within 30 seconds of touchdown that all taxiways attached to that runway would at the least simply have an automatic or controller controlled traffic light system to prevent taxing aircraft entering the runway enviroment when not cleared to do so - duh, am no aviation expert but you would think some kind of technology could support a pilots decision to enter/cross a runway - Big RED Lights means don't go out there bloody great jet coming your way, Big GREEN Lights mean okay dokey folks safe to cross thanks for following the green cross code - seems to work for children, well most of the time.Roger McNeillEGPF Scotland

Thanks everyone - advice much appreciatedanyone know how do I create a signature for my posts.Regards Roger

Hi allFirstly apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum.I will shortly be receiving a new PC specifically to run FSX and the much anticipated NGX see the spec shown below for further info.The system will have an Intel® Core™i7-2600 Quad Core (3.40GHz) which I believe I could safely overclock and as such I have three questions.1 - Is there actually any need for me to do any overclocking - ie would I see any substantial improvement in performance.2 - By overclocking do I substantially increase the risk of something failing.3 - Is overclocking straightforward for a non expert to achieve.I appreciate that performance is subjective and risk is relative but just wondered what others thought.Regards RogerRoger McNeill-----------------------System SpecificationsCOOLERMASTER SILEO 500 QUIET MID TOWER CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7-2600 Quad Core (3.40GHz, 8MB Cache) + HD Graphics Motherboard ASUS® P8P67 (NEW REV 3.0): USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, CrossFireX™ Memory (RAM) 8GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB) Graphics Card 1.5GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 580 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - DX® 11, 3D Vision Ready 1st Hard Disk 500GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm) 2nd Hard Disk 500GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm) 3rd Hard Disk 120GB OCZ VERTEX 2 SERIES SSD, SATA 3 Gb/s (upto 285MB/sR | 275MB/sW) 4th Hard Disk 1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)RAID 0 (STRIPED VOLUME - 2 x same size & model HDD / SSD) (£9) 1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM 2nd DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 4x BLU-RAY ROM DRIVE, 16x DVD ROM (£35) Power Supply CORSAIR 850W TX SERIES (TX850) 80+ ULTRA QUIET PSU (£99) Processor Cooling SUPER QUIET 22dBA TRIPLE COPPER HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£19) Sound Card ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD) Network Facilities ONBOARD 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs -------------------

Hi I am using ASE Build 642 and on checking weather at EGPF it is currently reporting temperature at 14/9 this not not accurate real world can you advise where I might have something setup wrong in the program to give this result.Real World Weather at EGPF at this report was made 31 minutes ago, at 20:20 UTC Wind calm Temperature -13°C Humidity 92% Pressure 1011 hPa Visibility 4000 m Overcast at a height of 800 ft shallow fog Regards RogerEGPFOops sorry - activation issue - sorted now.Cheers Roger

Hi RayThanks - makes sense of course - working fine now - just gotta crack these tutorials now.Regards Roger

HiI seem to be getting an ATIS transmitted message from FSX and a message on weather from Radar Contact running at the same time - I know this must be down to me - but can anyone point me to what is going wrong here - assuming this is not right. I do have ASE installed but it has not been used since I got Radar contact so I dont think the problem is there. FSUIPC is 4.28.Happening when I try and follow the 1st tutorial KDSM to KORD.Thanks for help or pointers on this issue.Roger McNeill

Problem solved.apologies for my frustration - just looking forward to getting it going. Hopefully am on my way now thanks to the excellent support service - cheers guys.Roger

HiI have followed the instructions for registering but I have received the following rather confusing email in response - I do not understand what is wrong with what I sent as I simply copied the required information and sent as requested in the format required...There were alpha characters before the first !, which is an invalid product id. There is no need to provide additional information in these key requestsIn an effort to streamline the Key Generating process, I request that your Request be in the following format: nnnnnnnnn ! Firstname ! Lastname Where nnnnnnnnn is the Product ID from the registration screen, including the minus sign (-) if there is one. There may be a minus sign in front of the number. If there is, you need to include it Send the request to [email protected] The subject line should be RCv4 Key Request _________________This is what I sent and seems to be the problem ? [Provided by RC4 on its initial start screen]-129596789 ! Roger ! McNeill Can anyone see the problem with the above (additional alpha character) or indeed simply help me get this up and running thanks - kind of annoying paying good money and not getting access to the product.Regards [email protected]

Hi BryanTried again - still finding the view panel will not lock - rest of the program is fine however.Regards Roger

Hi BryanYes, I did read that in the manual, and switched it on but it still vanishes, the main bar stays however.Will try again tonite and let you know.Cheers Roger

HiGreat product - but how do I get the panel switcher to stay onscreen - everytime I change views it disappearsRegards Roger
