Aerosoft KSMF in P3dv5
Mine is working just fine with Orbx NCA, I have not even looked at the Aerosoft Forum since I don't have an issue.

Aerosoft KSMF in P3dv5
Why the patch? I am using this product in v5 no problem. However, I've found that quite often when the AF file is modified in v5 that often there is a problem with autogen on airport surfaces and elevation issue abound.

"No Autoland", but it landed anyway :)
Rhett, the aircraft autoland feature does not require that the ground based ILS system be certified as a CATIII system. This is up to the pilot to know such things, and you should have dialed in the minimums for ILS27 (492 ft MSL) and before reaching minimums it is up to you to disconnect the autopilot to land manually.

Lost functionality of most systems after TO/GA, was it me or FSX partially crashed
Do you have a specific example of a missed approach procedure with a speed constraint that you have tried to use? You are very sparse with information.

Lost functionality of most systems after TO/GA, was it me or FSX partially crashed
The problem has been identified, PMDG said they cannot reproduce the problem at the time. If you have additional information that is relevant to recreating the problem then i recommend you use the open ticket as the communications channel to convey this. When does the "unable" message appear and how does it relate to the go around?

No idle/full thrust
Full names in the PMDG forums please. You are saying something changed..., doesn't it seem reasonable that what changed was how you are configured or doing things? The NGX has not fundamentally changed in years. If you disconnect A/T at 1000 AGL then I assume you are controlling your speed manually until the flare, so when do you reduce power to Vref-5 and idle?

Has anybody taken the time to submit a trouble ticket as I advised last May? That will get more results than repeating the same thing over and over in the user forum.

KMCO Orlando Intl
Agree, the T2G KMCO is relatively new and really looks good, good performance too.

No idle/full thrust
That is a very old thread. Full names on all posts in the PMDG forums. Do you realize that 40% N1 or higher is idle depending on speed and altitude? I set the throttle options such that the position is shown when moving, if the N1 needle is at the bottom of the moving throttle blue arc then you are at idle. See also the fuel flow. It will always be about the same at idle regardless of N1... usually 0.82-0.94 lbs x 1000 / hr depending on engine variant. The aircraft can be slippery and if you are descending above 900-1200 fpm it might not slow down unless there is drag out there, such as flaps, speedbrake or gear. It takes time to learn how to manage your energy, don't blame the aircraft yet.

FMC Freezes on RTE DATA page
Double posting isn't going to fix things any quicker. There's no announced update to NGX so minor bug fixes are in the queue.

How many payware scenery do you have active ?
My guess is that it is the Orbx objectflow.dll that is actually causing the delay. Make sure everything is up to date in the FTXCentral2 tool..., they release a new library just last week or so.

How many payware scenery do you have active ?
Not that I've noticed. There are things that lengthen load times, mostly stuff that is loaded by the dll and exe xml files but not the scenery. It isn't loaded if it's not within range. The only time that load times would be affected is when you delete the scenery indexes and P3D needs to rebuild them. The indexes are the key to not requiring a lengthy load time for sceneries on each load.

News of 747-400 V3
There is no update to the information already pinned in a topic on that subject. She is in tech testing. Wow..., we went three days without someone asking for an update. Must be a record.

Flashing ETA
That is a different problem than the one I thought you had. Yes, the arrivals into EGLL reveal a bug in the 777 when you select the OCK transition for the ILS approach.

As16+Asca=0xc000014B
Did you make a post in the HiFi support forum? Did you run the ASConnect installer without P3D running?

Scenery overtop of my new addon airport
Does that mean simple airport scanner did not work, or that it did not find duplicate AFCADs? I have had to go into an FTX folder many times to turn off an Orbx AFCAD because it was showing up in a higher priority add on airport... first clue is I see default taxi signs near the add on (better looking) taxi signs. You need to let the scanner to a complete scan, and then you use the search field by entering CYOW. I did just do a quick search in my Orbx folder and didn't find the CYOW but not ruling out a duplicate yet.

How many payware scenery do you have active ?
I have 76 add on airports plus most of the FTX regions and everything is always on. I have gone into a few add on products from Fly Tampa and turned off large ( >100 MB) photo bgls, they're not required if I have that FTX region and openLC product.

P3D scenery problem please help!
I recommend the use of the Scenery Config Editor, current version 1.1.7 is P3Dv3 aware and it does a good job of flagging errors and missing paths. Sure makes it easier to manage the library than the default UI in P3D. Free just google or links in this thread: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113495

Flashing ETA
I've seen that happen on occasion and cannot reproduce it. I think it is a bug, but I've only seen it in one out of at least 10 flights so I haven't been able to find cause or correlation. I've started watching for it to see when it starts happening but haven't seen it in a week or two. Frustrating. You can play with winds but I don't think that will change it, I notice resetting the route by doing something like changing STAR or adding a waypoint seems to remove it sometimes... still looking. Be nice if you find something to report it. and by the way.... Full names on all posts in the PMDG forums please.

VC Panel black when loaded
Very good, a glitch in the aircraft.cfg most likely cleared by OC during uninstall/install of liveries. Good deal.

Activation issue
The way your request for help is worded one has to read the entire thread to get a good guess as to what you have tried. First of all, which platform? If FSXSE or P3D, did you follow the recommendations in the readme and install the simconnect modules? What else have you done, specifically?
-
FSX-SE and P3D on the same drive?
You should ask the developer about specific products. In general this is not an issue. For example, ASN or AS16 are installed in programs folder but do not conflict because different exe files and different simconnect modules are used for each platform. And it doesn't matter if they are on same drive or separate drives on same machine... the operating system rarely cares what the physical location of something is as long as all the references to the location in the registry and in application data is correct. I've had FSX, FSXSE, P3D and XPlane all on the same machine without problem.

Cloud Shadow casting
Nope... it was designed with that advantage in mind. Somewhere on the LM website there is more information, probably in the downloads instructions if I recall correctly.

F/D disappearing on final
Depends on mode.. fail safe or fail operational. Details in the FCOM.

Sound package Addon
Don't forget PMDG uses a professional audio engineer for the sounds, and they are not borrowed from something found on the internet but are recorded in the aircraft and then worked in a studio for best results. Anything else is strictly your preference. I added the Klipsch THX certified 2.1 speaker system this year and couldn't imagine better sounds.
