Hello, I have downloaded the Microsoft.Net Frame 3.5.1 and when I try to install it, it tells me that I already have this version, but I can not see it in " Control Panel -> Programs" , also not in " View Installed updates" . What I see installed is : Microsoft.Net Framework 4.5. Will it still function?????

Thank you all, that did the trick. I forgot all about the chocks. Thanks again. Carlos

Hello, I have this situation and it just happens this week,as I can recall. It only occurs with the PMDG B737 series. I have tried all the other a.c. from PMDG and the a.c. from FSX but it is only B737. When I load the aircraft it loads with the parking brakes set. Pressing the dot (.) does actually releases the parking brakes, but the text remain there. Applying ctrl+. does engages the parking brakes, so it functions. How can I make the text disappear when the parking brakes are released?? It is just annoying for I have to check whether the are released or not. Carlos

Thank you Boaz, I though so already. I have also tried the KLM 900 WL livery which is the same, no HUD.Carlos Oosterling

I have just purchased the NGX737-800-900 .Now I have downloaded some liveries and one of them is the KLM 800NGX winglet.Trying all the liveries I was amazed that the only one in the series that I have downloaded with no HUD was the KLM.Does this belong to this livery or is this a bug.Perhaps there are more liveries out there that do not have HUDs, due to compagnies policy.I have already re-installed the livery and the same result is the same.Does someone know anything about this??????????????Thanks in advance.Carlos

Hello, I think the best way is to have a separate disk for the Flightsim files FSX and the rest.The load on the C: drive will be heavy when you run FSX and the system on the same drive.I know that with to days cpu's and hd's that will not be noticed but it is still better to have different disk.Also in case of disk crashes you will not loose everything, same time in getting all back.I have several disks for software, system and Flightism software.Works fine with me, don't forget to activate pagefile for the other disks as well, if you decide to have separate disks. Carlos

Thank you Eric,I already though so, but it is good to verify.Once we know how to handle a situation we can carry on.Thanks again, have save flights,Carlos

Hello,I have just purchased the JS41 and am learning how to.....After blowing up the engines twice, forgot to set the cond levers to flight, I was ready totake off.I said to myself it is better to save the situation when at the start of the runway, so I do not have to go through all agin the next time.Alas, loading the saved flight didn't show the FMS loaded withe the flight.I have read all about starting the FSX in the correct manner, but it all doesn't make a difference.By the way I always start the FSX in the tradional standard way.I do not have any troubles with any other aircraft of PMDG or any other aircraft for that matter.Does someone still have some other trick for me to try.Thanks in advance.Carlos Oosterling

Thanks for replying.Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about.I can produce the same pictures as J van ECarlos Oosterling

Hello Capt'sI have this wonderful MD-11 and it works perfect, there is one thing that is missing in my case and that is the lightening of the passengers cabin and the overall lightning of the cockpit.I have turned around all the knobs on the Lightning panel but alas.When I look outside at night the passengers cabin and cockpit are not lighted.Especially in the VC mode I can not see any more. The instrument panel is lighted but the rest is dark, incl the pedestal. Even if I use the L key it remains the same.What am I missing?????Carlos Oosterling

Hello David,Better to late than never as they say.Thanks for the reply.Since I had a huge crash on my PC and had to upgrade the MB, Video, etc, I didn't went back to FS9.I use FSX now all the time.Get to get accustom to it, but I think it is better to use only one version of FS9.This is of course a very personal decision.Anyhow thanks for taken the time to respond.Regards,Carlos

Hello MatsThat is correct for I was being vetored by ATC and was just been giving new vectors to turn to engange the localizer and that is where it always goes wrong. Strange!! By the way the runway was just in the opposite direction the acft was turning.I did some test flight with the same programs running without SB3 and so without ATC and that did not results in problems.Anyhow whatever, the acft should not be banking past 25 degr as the bank limit was set to 25 degr. When this happens the acft can not even be controled manually anymore.I have to abort the flight, there goes 5 hours. }( There is this other thing and I might do this in the wrong way and that is, when the acft is descending and speed is set to f.i 220, the throttle will be set to idle or near by.What I do is that I also manually set my throttle to half way or so, I mean the throttle on the yoke. At that point the AT will speed the acft to the point where it will overspeed. I have set in the options to manually speed intervene.Carlos

Hello RobI have uploaded 2 files as attachments.One is resized so it is not that sharp to look at.This morning I have tried some sort of trafect pattern at London EGLL, with the same programs running but without the Sqauwkbox3 and I had no problems. Smooth landing.As soon as I go ATC online there is where it starts at the landing.The FMC autotuned the ILS freq.I will also try the B763 to see if there is also a problem, can not remember.Perhaps the update we got with the FSX version for the FS9 version gives these situation, but I can not be sure.Perhaps I can reinstall some *dll file, I have all the backups.Carlos Oosterling

Hello RobI will try soon, but not to day for I will have to start all over again.Additional info is that a lot of programs hangs after this happens.I also run ASV 6.5, BAV OSP and FSReal time and of course Squawkbox3 and the connection to Vatsim ATC.Perhaps this is to much for the comp, although I have a AMD X2 4400 and Video 7900GS card, 2GB mem.Carlos

Hello CaptsI have this situation where the B744 get erratic when I have to turn to the Loclizer to land.It starts to turn, but keeps turning and even as the bank limit is on 25 degr. it keeps on turning untill it eventuely stalls.After a flight of 2 or 5 hours this is a pity. I have check the rudders and other things but didn't find any specials.I did turn off the AP and turned it on again, but that didn't help eitherIt also occasionely happens when I take off but that is perhaps once a year.Is there someone who has experienced this also.This is annoying especialy when I fly ATC online.Hope some one has some clue.Carlos Oosterling }( }( ;(

Hello AlexI didn't use those add ons, so I just uninstalled them and now the VOR arrow shows in the ND.I uninstalled them why I had started the B744 already so I didn't had nay navigation sounds.Hope this will be ok when I start the next time. I wait for SB4 for FSX to come out. Still using SB3 for FS9 on Vatsim.FSInn is a nice looking add on, but there are to many bugs for me to handle.At least this is what I have learned from the forums.Thanks anyway for the help.Carlos

Hello,I have already uninstalled the FSInn & Copilot and now it works fine.I didn't use the two programs anyway, and I'm waiting for Squawkbox4 to arrive. Thanks for the hint.Carlos

Hello,Yes I have FSinn & Copilot installed but don't use it with FS9. I use Squawkbox for Vatsim.I will uninstall it and see what happens.Thanks for the helpCarlos

Hello PilotsIs there anyone who knows why I do not get to see the green Vor arrow in the ND display.I have switched the button on the EFIS to VOR L ( in this case). Of course I have entered the VOR freq.Even when I select a full rose there is nothing to see.When I do the same in the FSX version, than it is OK. Starts at KSEA RWY 34R VOR freq= 116.80, make round trip over the airport, so I have to see the VOR arrow.Is it not simulated in the FS9 version????Carlos Oosterling

Hello KimI think the best thing for me to do is to re-install the B747-400 all over again.I also experience this last days that the aircraft is getting of his track when en Route, so I unchecked the override box for the controls and for the next flight it worked, but I am not sure if that will always work.These sofware is to complex, so I don't espect them to be perfect, especially when one add things to it. There is always some thing that is overlooked when additional things like sounds and view are added to it.I'll try to reinstall it and see what happens.In the mean time I spent a whole week already with these kind of software for I also have problems with getting the Level-D B763 for FSX running on an XP configuration.One day all will be solved, I hope.Carlos

I had unchecked them allready but that did not help the situation.I certainly need them checked, for this aircraft has the strange behaviour to go stray now and then and if the controls are checked, I can return it to the track it has to fly.I had posted this allready but no one had a sound solution.Perhaps I have to install the whole panel again.Do not know how, but will find out.Carlos

Hello DanI always check off the AT, Flight Dir just before touching the runway and Auto Pilot when the speed is reduced to 20 or 15 knots.This afternoon I just get the aircraft up on London Heathrow and did a round, 270 up and 09 down, without FMC.The taxiing was ok this time and I taught that the situation was solved, until after I came down and turned to the taxy way, than it started again. I thought so myself that the AP is keeping it to the center line when it happened the first time, but than it should disappear when I close the AP.Besides when taxiing to the runway the AP is not on.To me it looks like it is random, but of course that is not so.Carlos

HelloI have an other situation with my rudder.When taxiing the aircraft starts to sway.So I had a look at the eicas the rudder and saw that is was far to the left.However I could not trim it to be in the center.I have also re-calibrated my Pro Pedals and that didn't help either.After take off, the rudder gets centered again, and when landed the same thing starts over again.I have also disconnected the autorudder in the settings,no change.Is there anyone who experienced this already and what is there to do about it????? }( :-jumpy Carlos

Thank you RyanI knew something like this was available, but didn't know where to get it.The Loadeditor works fine again.This must has happend when installing the SP1 for FSX.I looked in the registry and could see that there was something missing, but didn't know how to fix that.Carlos

Hello,This last days when I try to load the Load editor I get a fatal error saying: " Could not detect a valid Microsoft Flight Simulator installation".Well it is right there under its nose.Does some one knows where this is coming from, never had this before.Is it easy to re-install the PMDG 747-400???Perhaps that would be the best thing to do.Carlos
