Yes, it take some time to get used to it. Bit believe me you will. Many panels are clickable so you can get a close look. One thing helped me a lot, a game mouse where you can assign a key to one of the knobs. I assigned the " space" to one of my mouse knobs. (the one under my thumb) So I have to use just 1 hand to look around and use the mouse

Hi Bryan, Just curious, f.i. a new Windows go to different people in a " test fase" so they can anticipate on the release. Isn't that the case with flights developers? Or don't you get or can ask a list of changes ? Thanks for working on the upgrade. it isn't real anymore without my copilot :-) regards Eric

Hi Nick, Do you have FSUICP and automatic saving on? If so, switching it off sometimes help.

A little off topic, great Harley Joe.

Hi Kyle, Estonia, you are right. If I talk about add ons, I never think of airplanes. Only about scenery. Never tried to install a FSX airplane. To tricky for me, I haven't got the knowledge to know certain if something works the way it should.

You could decide to go to P3D. No need for fixer anymore, if FSX runs smooth on your computer than P3D should do as well. And with the two tools from Flightsim Astonia you could install every FSX addon in P3D. (Beware some addons had legal issues)

flying with default scenery is switching off the most important cause for oom's, as far as I know. Try to fly around with lot's of heavy scenery and OOm's still happen. Although I have to admit that with Windows 10 they are not so frequent anymore.

Sorry Dan, You're right. Here is where I found it: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/error-80070004-3000d-when-trying-to-install/01c85e4a-6ee6-4665-bdda-683e57d02eb3?auth=1 Fixed! I got in touch with MS 3 times. The first time the chap changed an OSWindowsUpdate registry entry but that didn't make a difference. The second time we used the Media Creation Tool option and again, no joy and same problem. The 3rd time, however, he deleted an empty folder from the Start menu (and I deleted a few more) and then ran the Media Creation Tool and it worked flawlessly. So try this: Go into your start menu C:\users\<youraccount>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete any empty folders. If you run a flight simulator, apparently the ORBX folder (scenery addon software) is specifically causing the issue. Once that's gone, then got to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install and download and run the Windows Update from there.

On my computer everything works fine with Windows 10. I only had a problem with upgrading. (windows 10) This was caused by OrbX. (found this solution on the internet) I don't know why but Windows stops upgrading. After removing orbx the upgrade succeed and after reinstalling Orbx everything works fine. I have the feeling that it is a little bit better on fps. ((2/3 more ) but not certain about that. Didn't test this properly

Yep, and not only the navigraph program, but the aerosoft navdata has the same problem. You can solve it to manualy place it in the right folder.

Solved !

I use prepar3d 2.5 Fly with PMDG 737, PMDG 777 and Majestic Q400 (and some other stuff) I use a Saitek yoke and Saitek throttle quadrant. I also use fsuipc to set this up Some strange thing happens. PMDG 737, Q400 and all the other planes are working fine. But when I use the PMDG 777 the Saitek throttle quadrant works fine , but it doesn't respond on the yoke. I reinstalled several times, but nothing works. Only the yoke isn't working and only in the 777. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Eric

Hi Kyle I think I have found the problem for my out of date Navdata message int the FMC Under the directory /PMDG there is a NAVDATA directory. If I install the navdata from aerosoft I point the programm to the directory pmdg/navdata . Navdata pro installs the right data but makes a new directory in the PMDG/NAVDATA directory and calls it navdata. There I find the right data. ( in pmdg/navdata/navdata) But one level higher the old navdata still exist. So I have to point the aerosoft navdatapro programm to the directory PMDG. Then it is ok. So simpel. Why do I see this now??? Regards and thanks for helping

I have the same problem with my 737 NGX for P3d 2.5. If I look in the PMDG navdata directory I see the right navdata (Aerosoft) But if I start the 737NGX the FMS says navdata out of date ( or something like that. It look like the NGX engine don't see the right dataset. (and yes I fly in real time)

as far as I know, it is!! It is working like a charm on my computer with windows 8.1, p3d 2.5. What problems do you have?

Thanks for responding, I saved, stopped p3d and started again. And it looks like it is gone. It couldn't be the weather. It was just a clear weather theme. Used it for testing. I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi, The 777 works perfect only if I get at a centain flight level, the plane start wobbling. The nos is going up and down. a little. After I reach the cruiselevel, the shaking up and down becomes a problem. The plane is shing up and down. Anyone else has this problem? Thanks for responding.

Great. Thanks Eric

Hi Cory, I don't know where you live, but here in the Netherlands one book for highschool is sometimes more expensive than one PMDG product. Speaking about prices for education..... Sure it is an expensive product, but if I compare it with the price of other FSX products, and I see the depth of the simulation, I think it is worth the money. And the promise that it will be 64 bit convinced me even more to buy this one. Desperately waiting for the 737. Expensive, no doubt. Regards Eric

Nope, no MD11 PMDG said several times on the forums, that they won't make an update on the MD11.

ok thanks.

sounds great, but how do I find Steve's fixer

is that allowed?.....oh yes, a new 64 bit flight simulator. ready for all the pmdg planes. i love that

Great thanks. I started myself, but glad I found yours.

If you use the tutorials from PMDG, that works perfect. Step by step, pause, read, act and pause the game again and after two or three times you've got it. They are great.
