Thanks Bob for the thought. I've tried that both on and off with the VPN.....which isn't a Canadian one, thankfully. I'm even cut off from OC3. I'm hoping someone from pmdg will see a post such as this one and contact me. I've been a customer since the Fly days, 25+ years.

For approx 2 weeks I have been blocked on all things to do with PMDG and I have no idea why. Communication attempts have remained unanswered. If anyone has contacts with PMDG perhaps they could contact them on my behalf and ask them to pm me here. Thank you.

I have V1. I think it is pretty good. 30+ years ago I spent 2 years flying one and close to 2000 hours on type. It was/is a great machine to fly in the rw and this sim version was enjoyable. I'll be buying this latest version.

Jim, As another CYWG resident I checked it out too. It was very good.

Even when using a VPN you real name is visible on the pmdg forums.

I tried pausing the vpn but no joy.

I am being blocked when trying to access their forum. Also I am unable to open OC3. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Well, were we to sit down together over a coffee i would be happy to give you some insight. Nav Canada is not immune from political influence.

Even in the 1990s and past 2000 holes in gps coverage were anything but uncommon. The last time I encountered one was approx 2012 in north western Ont actually doing a gps approach and the gps unit lost coverage. Did the missed at that point. Retired in 2016.

In Canada the Liberal govt has killed off most VORs and NDBs. Sad and imho. as a retired 40 year pilot, not the smartest of moves.

The map is excellent. I am amazed at all the airports, including small ones, are shown for Manitoba, Canada.

I quite like the new format.

In the efb when sink to throttle one is ticked it does not sync throttles and stays red.

I recently purchased their C130J and was having some difficulties with it that at the end of the day were my fault. Regardless the level of support I received helping me out deserves a mention here. I am most grateful for their patience and help. Dave

I bought this a couple days ago and can't get the installer to work. Sent off a request to support for assistance and am waiting for a response. They are probably busy with this latest release so I will wait another day or two till they have time to get to me.
