Hi again, I found that by switching the 737NG out of full screen mode to a window I can then use the PMDG menu with no trouble at all then switch back to full screen. I think some WIN 7 update may be the cause of the original problem.Dallas.

Hi folks, I am using the PMDG 737 8-900 and 747 and all went well thih win 7 64 bit until last Friday 19/11/10, at this point my PMDG menu in FS9 failed. The menu drops down but if I attempt to move to a setting I get the black screen. I have changed nothing on Win 7. I reinstalled the aircraft and the problem persisted, I reinstalled FS9 and still no luck. I am suspecting a Win 7 update may have caused the problem as it just failed out of the blue. I will update my Nvidia druivers and start again with FS9 as the next step and see how things go.All advice welcome.ThanksDallas

Hi folks, I am using FS9 with VOZ Australian scenery and am having a problem flying from Sydney to Brisbane in the PMDG 737 9000 NG. When I get close to brisbane the Sim goes to a black screen then shuts down. I thought I may have had 2 landclass files activated for the area but that was not the problem. I remember seeing someting about this on their forums but as they no longer appear to exist I hope someone may have the solution.Does anyone know what is going on with VOZ for FS9 all their sites are gone or go to the payware FSX version. I have just acquired a computer that is able to run FS9 at full tilt so I don't intend going back to a slide show on FSX.Hope you can help.Dallas dh737

Thanks Rick, Just after puting this on the forum I came accross your response to the same question, Searched MS, found the file, followed your directions and it all works. Apologies for doubling up on a question.Think I'll run the 737 up to Brisbane.Dallas.

I have just installed RC4, when I try to load flight plans I get a message telling me that I need to install MSSTDFMT.DLL.What is it?Where do I find it?DH 737

Hi folks, Some yaers ago I had an FMC that worked with FS98, unfortunately I can't remember the name of it or it's author (apologies if he is reading this) it was a really good program and I spent hours using it. The program had a sort of interactive turorial that took you through it's operation, it highlighted the keys required while explaining what they did and would only move on when you had activated the required keys or entered the propper information. I found it a much better learning aid than waiding through pages of paper while trying to operate an active system. This is not a criticism of the PMDG manuals which I have found extremely interesting and useful but to get going a tutorial like the one i mention was excelent. I am not a pilot and some of this info can get a little daunting. I apreciate that such a tutorial would be a lot of work for someone but perhaps building it around the existing manuals would help. Just a thought, looking forward to the 747.Best Wishes.Dallas Hallett.

Hi again, I have flown the flight plan YSSY-YSCB and it worked fine. I have deleted all the troublesome flight plans and created a new one, another YSSY-YSCB and again it doesn

Hi Again, Thanks Petep for the modified plan, will give it a go. All the flight plans are created in FS9 flight planner,the ones that work and the ones that don't. not the best I gather, I am looking at some others at present. I am no expert in flight planning but all this info is puting the poeces together. I could see that something was corrupt in the plan once it got to RC but have no idea what or where the problem was.Thanks Folks.

Thanks for the info, When I load the flight plan in to RCv3.1 I get a list of waypoints (I think) on the RC opening screen it looks like thisYSSY to YSCB@15000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / YM.YM.YM.YM.YM.YM. after starting RC my first fix appears as 2030m 345 Degrees.Clearly this has nothing to do with the flight plan to Canberra via Woolongong. I set off for YM and discovered it is located well out over the water to the north east of Papua New Guinea.Here are some other flight plansYSSY to YMML@22000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / YM.YM.YM.YM.YM.YM.YM.YM.YM.YMML to YMHB@5000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / YM.YM.YM.YM.EGLL to EINN@31000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / EG.EG.EG.EG.EG.EG.EI.EI.EI.EI.I do have some that look sane, as followsYMML to YSSY@36000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / YSSY.YSSY to WMKK@36000 (Alt1- , Alt2-) / WMKK.I will try and attach the sydney plan,Have tried numerous suggestions but still end up on 345 heading for YM. Any further ideas would be appreciated. and THANKS again folks.

Hi folks I have a problem with Departure; they keep sending me to strange headings. I was flying from Sydney YSSY to Canberra YSCB the flight plan, setup in MSFS9 and transferred to RCv3.1, took me south to Woolongong, YWOL my first waypoint at heading 194 degrees. No matter how I depart Sydney when I get on to departure I am asked to fly 345 degrees. No matter what runway I take the result is the same. With Flexible dep proc set or clear I get sent to heading 345. My first waypoint is more than 30 miles south so should not constitute part of a DP as far as I can tell. On one flight, with Flexible dep OFF, I got as far south as Woolongong when I was once again sent to 345, I was expecting something like 180 for the next leg to Nowra YSNW.I have tried a number of different flights from Melbourne and Canberra but still end up on 345, one flight from Melbourne was south to Hobart. I should mention that once on a heading of 345 I have remained there, with some movement for traffic, for over 200 miles, then I shut down the flight. All the flights are flown with standard FS9 fair weather. Winds calm. I did have one completely successful flight from Melbourne to Sydney, I don/t know what the difference was but Departure set me on the correct heading and ATC got me all the way to an IFR landing. I am not a pilot so it is more than likely that I am stuffing things up somewhere in the planing.Any thoughts would be helpful.
