I go along with you 100%. I love the IXEG 737 Classic. Having said that I share the OP's opinion, too. I'm not going to point out any specific developer but it has happened twice, to me. The aircraft look sensational but not all of them deliver what is expected in the systems. I now deeply research every purchase. Jon

Not only that! When I was younger, an Estonian Migration Tool was a pick or shovel. That Construction Company also operated in China but they changed the second name to Election. Jon

Well said Rob. My point, absolutely and sloppy could be a better term. My perspective is documented above and I'll stick by it. I can imagine the intricacies involved with correcting code and I empathise but Developers alienate people like myself who are used to paying for add-ons that are 'ready' for market and I resign myself to paying, with the expectation the installation will be seamless and a pleasant experience. In the last 2 months I have purchased add-ons to the tune of AU$ 1000.00. The 350i is the only one I've installed that has raised my ire. Jon

I have not received any content errors, other than scenery ORBX files that need updating but never an aircraft. I spent way too long doing battle with the inadequacies of FSX and I'm not going to start agonising over who's generating the errors. I have not used default aircraft since FS9 so I am unaware of any content error logs created.when installing the default aircraft. None registered when I recently re-installed P3Dv3 into a virginal Win 10, BTW, the only errors listed in the 853 anomalies, were generated by the 350i, none pertain to any other add-ons I have installed. So, maybe the 350i does work in v3 but with so many error reported, I don't consider it unreasonable to question the validity of Carenado's claim that it is compatible. Jon Thanks for that. Is the CEL considered to be a good or a bad thing? Jon

I would stop advertising this aircraft as being compatible with P3Dv3. Where I come from its called false advertising. I purchased in good faith, having confidence that Carenado was a reputable developer. They most probably are because they've been around for quite a while but we 'promise to make it compatible in the future' doesn't wash with me. Test the product within the platform, iron out all the bugs, beforehand. Then their compatibility claims will not come back and bite them on the bum, as in this case. Jon

If I was Carenado, I would stop advertising this aircraft as being compatible with P3Dv3. I have a LM P3Dv3 Content Error Log which is too large to paste here (tried twice). I have 853 errors reported. The aircraft starts ok, I can program the fms, alla that but with that many reported errors I'm going no further trying to find out what doesn't work. Off to flightsimstore to get a refund. Jon

Your advice was spot on and much appreciated. I vote, You, GURU. Jon Shearer

I have updated my os to win10 and instead of my dvd copy of fsx, decided to install the FSX Steam edition. I re-downloaded the PMDG 737 NGX 800/900 as well as the 600/700 expansion so I would have the latest versions of each to install...which I did. My installation has a peculiarity in that the course and heading readouts are 3 digits in the 2d panel but only depicts 2 digits in the vc making it impossible to set either from the vc. Has anyone experienced this behaviour before and found a solution to correct it? I have run a couple of repair installs but the problem persists. Jon Shearer

I look forward to Her day of release. The Icon.

Hi Everyone, I am about to re-populate my P3D3 with all of my ORBX/FTX products but as I have just performed that exact task with FSX Steam product, I'm noticing a few instances of old FTX Central installations, appearing on my desktop. FTX Central 2 appears, as well. Does this activity affect the accuracy of the installation in any way? Yes, I am aware I should install the latest version and have done so. With the worst internet speeds imaginable. Jon

I was aware of this but chickened out, not knowing how LM had worked their voodoo in P3Dv3. Pleased to see you're more intrepid than me, Dan. Also, it look like I have become a Flight Simulator Collector. I have 5 of them, now. When is all of this upgrading going to rationalise?. Jon Shearer

Yes, I have the boxed set of DVD's. They are working on new installers but they've run into a few snags. Pilot's Guys are 'all over it'. Looking forward to when they're ready. On a connected note: Having so many add-ons to install has really made me take a good look at my organisation of Keys and Folders and bringing them all together to make the process run smoothly. FSX and P3D v1.4 are looking fantastic with all the add-ons installed. I've decided to go the whole hog and install all of it into P3Dv3 as installers become available. Jon Shearer

You are using everything that I use. That is good news, indeed. Have Pilot's provided an installer for P3D3 already? I looked on their website, briefly but could not find an updater. Does it automatically appear when you insert disc 1 or... Jon Shearer

I think, until the novelty wears off, I intend to only install FS Global 2010, ORBX/FTX_Global_Base v1.30 and all the ORBX LC's I just bought. Amen on the ORBX installers. VECTOR too. Absolutely agree to the superiority of this version of the simulator. Process Explorer resides on one of my other screens, along with Speedfan to monitor cpu usage and temps. Mine is a reasonable system but it isn't even changing up. I live in Australia and have ORBX YBBN. My home town. The default scenery in FSX has always been a hog around Brisbane and if you fly towards the city it is a big frame rate hit. Gone in this new version. Full marks to ORBX for even attempting YBBN in the first place. It will be interesting to see if it has a beneficial effect on the performance of YBBN. If I can get all of my PMDG aircraft running as well as the PMDG 777, it will be fantastic. Jon Shearer
