What's new with the DC6 as regards to MSFS2020

Don't worry about the privacy rules. The PMDG Forum IS the place to get what ever information you need for their products. This forum is pretty much a backwater. -
Loading a .PLN vs .FLT

Thanks, I'll look into LittleNavMap. Jim -
Loading a .PLN vs .FLT
jmdriskell replied to jmdriskell's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Thanks for the help. Got it figured out. I was waiting too long before trying to load a plan. Didn't see the "more" function at the bottom of the proper page. Now it works as advertised. Now on the the next function. Jim -
Loading a .PLN vs .FLT
jmdriskell replied to jmdriskell's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Yes, Working Title; couldn't remember the creator. I've always used *.PLNs genreated by PFPX or FSCommander (which won't run without FSX installed). I could import the plans into the FSX PMDG DC-6 w/o problems but now MSFS seems to want a *.FLT. Too many bells and whistles in MSFS that I slowly working thru. Jim -
Working out the kinks of MSFS. PMDG DC-6 tutorial asks to load a *.PLN, dialog box only sees *.FLT. Before I installed the Workplace GNS 430/530, I think I remember that the dialog box saw the *.PLN files, now only *.FLT files are acceptable. What am I missing? I can create *.FLT files but why aren't *.PLN file acceptable. Thanks, Jim Driskell

FPS, short for Flaps per Second. Crow, slow; Humming Bird, fast! -
PMDG DC-6 Parking Brake Probems
jmdriskell replied to jmdriskell's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Toggleing great idea but in my setup, it doesn't work. -
Transitioning from FSX to MSFS DC-6. Setup a button to toggle parking brake using MSFS. Can't seem to get it to work. Should I use MSFS designation or code key strokes? What Key strokes? Ctl+Num Del doesn't seem to work. Ideas? Thanks, Jim Driskell

NVIDIA GeForce Experience Problems
jmdriskell replied to jmdriskell's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Bum Scoop! Problem was with the windowed mode. Works in full screen. -
Just a heads up. New machine, still configuring MSFS. Yesterday, in an effort to see frame rates, a youtuber suggested GeForce Experience. Started it and immediately MSFS Changed. Lost ability to access Preset Manager while modifying a profile, lost progress bar when MSFS starts up. Don't know what else went in the bit bucket. Checked the great world of information (and disinformation) and found something called Game Overlay. Turned it off, rebooted and now everything is back to normal. Jim Driskell Note

Anybody know of a method to transfer the data from the FSX logbook to MSFS? Jim Driskell

Thanks again, Jim

I have a problem with Win11. The builtin xBox app uses the same registry value as my CH Throttle Quad, so the Throttle Quad is inop. Anybody know how to get around this problem? What happens if I delete the xBox Values? Does MSFS require the underlying xBox app? Ideas? Thanks in advance, Jim Driskell
