Thank you for all your responses. I think I'll just use the default ASBO version for now. Hopefully a developer will provide an updated detailed version. PKuhn KGYR

Anybody using Imagine Simulations KATL in MSFS? I used it with P3D and thought it was good. The preview screenshots for their MSFS program don't look that good or as detailed.. PKuhn KGYR

Problem solved. With the help of a PMDG Support Ticket - very simple fix. Somehow the 2-D Transparency slider in the FSX-SE/Aircraft set-up had moved to 69%. I don't recall making the change and very seldom have a need to make changes in the FSX-SE setup based on my current set-up and usage. PMDG Support was great and very responsive after several back-and-forth e-mails. Paul K KGYR

Having problems with pop-up panels on both the 777 and NGX. When I click on a panel it appears but it is dull-grey, hard to read almost transparent. Functions on the various panels - i.e. FMC work. Everything else is working and displaying as expected. Running FSX-SE latest updated version. Only other recent upgrade was FTX Global v1.30 to v1.40. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

Currently have a Dell Monitor with 1440x900 resolution and a GeForce 660 2GB Video Card. Thinking of upgrading the monitor to a LED with 1920x1080 resolution. Will I see a measurable difference in the graphic display? Wil FSX recognize the increased resolution in the settings? Any suggestions for overclocking the video card? Thanks for your input...Merry Christmas!

Has anyone had a chance to compare the previous cycle with the current cycle for subject airport - RJAA? I'm noticing a big change in the STAR procedures. Am I missing something? Paul K KGYR

Need some help.....recently planned KORD-KIAD with MGW.GIBBZ One Arrival. When I loaded the MGW.GIBBZ transition the FMC displayed two (2) error messages - Vert Path Full and VNAV Disconnect. When I went back and manually loaded the transition the two errors reappeared when I got up to and loaded the JIMVE waypoint. I also noticed when the I loaded the next waypoint MILLK in the plan mode it appears the waypoint is not positioned correctly in accordance with the transition chart. The transition is an open-ended procedure depending on the runway chosen and a VNAV disconnect is normal and expected except in this situation all the speed and altitude values were missing throughout from the origin point on. I originally posted my flight plan problem on Navigraph and their initial response was it appears it's a PMDG problem. They indicated the navdata is good. Equipment: PMDG 737NGX-800W, Cycle 1304. Any ideas or thoughts on what's going on? Paul K KGYR

What is the normal setting for the Bank Angle Limit Selector? Is AUTO the default setting? I understand that the setting cannot override FMC computed turns, but wonder what the setting is when non-FMC flight/manual activity is happening?Thanks,Paul KuhnCurrently KSTL

Ryan,How about a promotion similiar to what you did on the 747X...CD Version of the MD-11X with a discounted incentive? Might stimulate lost sales on the MD-11.Paul KuhnKGYR

Terry,Having trouble with LevelD 767-300 in FSX. Prior to cycle 1011 no problems. Since cycle 1011 and now 1012 unable to see arrivals/departunes in FMC. If I load cycle 1010 no problems with arrivals/departures.Get the following message when I try to view a file in either cycle 1011 or 1012: The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/...<?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?>I can view the same files in cycle 1010 without a problem. Any ideas on what's wrong or how to correct the problem.Thank you,Paul KuhnKGYR

Terry,Recently flew TJSJ-KSDF with a VXV.DARBY4 STAR. When programing the PMDG FMC the only transititions avaliable for the DARBY4 STAR were HCH, LOZ, Unckl and Yocky (?). The current chart for DARBY4 shows the following transititions: HCH, LOZ, Unckl and VXV. Not sure where Yocky is???Paul KuhnKPHX

On a recent Level-D 767 flight from KPDX to KORD via the MCW.JVL5 arrival noticed the coordiantes for the TEDDY intersection/waypoint are incorrect. A quick glance at the other coordinates of waypoints/intersection in the JVL5 confirmed the error.Paul KuhnCurrently KLGB

Due to a fire and subsequent heavy water damage, I'm forced to get a new desktop computer and setup.Two unresolved issues:1. Windows XP 64-bit or Vista 64-bit?2. Stay with FS9 or move to FSX? - I have both software programs.Proposed new system: Intel Core 2 Extreme 3.0GHz processor, 6GB memory, 320GB HD, 512mb Nvidia 9800GT graphics, Creative Xtreme Sound.I previously used FS9 and PMDG aircraft. I was looking forward to the FS9 MD-11, but had to postpone that due to the fire.Would appreciate forum members and PMDG's staffs advise.Thanks,PaulKPHX

Terry,Any suggestions on where I can find subject airport's SIDS/STARS/IAPs for LevelD?I found same for PMDG products at NAVdata, but can't find anything for LevelD.Thank you.Paul Kuhn

Terry,Thanks for your prompt and factual reply. I first noticed the FMS STARs when finalizing my approach into KMSP. I think my preference will be the RNAV approaches when required.Paul KuhnKGYR
