They were kind enough to email me to announce an update for a plane I bought previously. When I went to my order page only maybe two download links out of six or seven purchases were available. I opened a support ticket but it took almost a week for them to mail me a link. Hopefully, you'll hear from them soon.

The download is a ZIP file; it works. Extract the .dll file to \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\mjc8q400\panel

We're in-between PMDG releases. People are off flying (I am). Gets really rabid about a month or two prior to any rumored release.

...and the click-spots are visible but don't work in both the Real Air Lancair & Real Air Duke. Worked the last time I tried it. Only change here has been me updating ASN to the latest. It's not a matter of having the eye-point too far aft; when I use the FSX view menu to open the 530, all I see is an empty picture frame (the Garmin/RXP bezel but with a see-through screen) and the buttons are dead (appear clickable, but they don't). I suspect it's related to the ASN update and the weirdness that's been reported with exe.xml, but my copy appears to be intact. I'd attach a pic, but I see no capability for that in the new post section (coffee not kicking in???). Thx

OK, I'll take a shot. Installed yesterday. First flight was KISM to KBLM using ASN. On the ground at the default KISM, the FPS went from low 20's before trees to 50's to 60's with trees installed. Settled at cruise at 8000ft., FPS was in the 40's to 50's occasionally down to the mid-20's in thunder storms & heavy clouds. After landing at Belmar (KBLM), moved the plane to the active runway at KEWR (default mostly with minor improvements), the frames dropped to around 20 where they had previously been around 12 to 13. Last night, flew the PMDG from RJAA to KEWR; once again there were obvious FPS improvements but not so dramatic. I will say the sim is MUCH more fluid than it was; I'm not seeing microstutters. Biggest FPS gain I've seen since I overclocked (2.75 to 4.1) six years ago. For 17 bucks US it was certainly worth the risk. BTW, I have Orbx Global, Scenery Tech, ASN installed, among other things. The FSX settings range from half to full right (too lazy to open FSX up now). Glad I have it.

Steve, you have to open a trouble ticket; they don't provide the service you need by email.

Then try what I did; filed tickets with ASN & PMDG. ASN may already be familiar with your problem; heaven knows I bugged them to death!

I had this problem this past fall after installing an ASN beta. I contacted support at ASN & PMDG & found that it was a problem with ASN. The update available at http://www.hifitechinc.com/downloads fixed the problem for me. It's not a PMDG777 thing.

Try looking for this: fsxlogrecovery11.zip Worked for me.

The manual states flaps 25 or 30 for landing. That's why you don't get the warning message when you do use flaps 25 or 30.

If you're referring to SP1, it came out 10/11; it's also available on their site so you won't have to wait for email notification from the vendor where you bought it.

The forum has been in terrible shape, especially yesterday and today. Any of my attempts to use the search function yesterday failed (service unavailable), hence my post. Since Tabs posted instructions for the update which included references to deleting older NGX paints, I was no longer sure if there was in fact going to be an NGX release at the same time as the 777 Sp1, Sorry my maturity didn't measure up for you Kyle.

Why do you think I posted here? Another self-righteous forum cop.

Doesn't appear to be available yet; any idea when?

Keep it this way? It's the fastest Avsim has been for me in months. :rolleyes:
