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.

I bought the blackbird C130J a couple days ago and can't get the installer to successfully install it and yes i have read the installation instructions. I have submitted a support request.

Any further opinions on how this C130 is improving? I'm comparing this to their C17 to buy. Thanks for any responses.

I had a licensing issue not that long ago and after getting ahold of Support it was rectified in a couple of days. My experience with P3d support has been excellent.

I have P3dv5&6, msfs2020/24 & XP11 & 12 installed. I have lots of drive space. I tend to go back and forth between XP12 and the msfs2020/24. If I had to choose only one and remove the others the one I would keep is XP12. This is from the viewpoint of a retired pilot. My flying is mainly IFR. One thing I have yet to try with XP12 are the various scenery enhancements. I really know little about them. I am going to have to look into these more.

I just did a flight from KSAN to KSBA in this new airbus. Worked great.

Which version of Toronto airport is that? thanks.

Good for him sharing info with passengers.

I went from a Saitek X-65 that I got 15 years out of to the Wart Hog. I had a rotary knob set up for a tiller but there is nothing on the Wart Hog that appears to be suitable for use as a tiller. So I'm looking for something affordable.

Alanw2005, I carried with me a gaming laptop for the last 15 years of my career. Kept me sane when away from home for occasionally months at a time (forest fire suppression pilot). Spent a lot of money on good powerful machines but they were worth every cent. Helped me wind down from challenging stressful days. I have tried X-plane mobile and indeed bought it but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I like the idea of it though for those who enjoy it.

I've been a Toliss XP user since they first brought out their A319 and always been very pleased with their creations. Plus their customer service/support has been excellent imho. When I heard they were teaming up here to produce the A340 I thought this will be a good buy. This review backs up my thoughts. I will buy in the next day or two.
