PFDs freeze
I've only had this issue if I try to enter enroute winds while a STAR is not programmed. So basic solution: make sure you put in a STAR, or at very least an arrival runway/procedure if there are no STARs at that airport, before you start plugging wind forecasts in.

Longest Sim 737NGX Flight Without Refueling?
Same here! It was quite a while back, so I don't remember the exact length. With almost zero weight in the back you can go quite a ways.

ORBX for my type of flying?
Global, and maybe the landclass and vector products, is fine for the high altitude stuff. What you probably don't need are the full-fat regions.

ORBX OpenLC NA (Part 2) release imminent
I'm using a download manager. It's downloading, but incredibly slowly still. Been downloading Part 1 for the last four hours or so.

New ORBX library file released that fixes Migration issues with new Central version also released
I now do not have the blurries I did before. Guess this update worked its magic properly for me.

What's Your longest Flight in FSX
Santiago - Sydney in the 77L, sometime last year. Clocked in somewhere between 17-18 hrs. There was a huge (100-150 kts), unexpected headwind over much of the ocean, almost twice what PFPX planned for. I suspected something might have messed up in ASN, but ASN restarts didn't change anything. Thought about diverting to Auckland for fuel, but threw the realism card out the window and chugged on. Still had about 9 tons of fuel remaining upon arrival.

ORBX Library Update
I have noticed more blurries.

QW 787 FMS
It's going to be much more detailed than the 757.

FSX Steam and Level-D Installation
Quick update, after sifting through the registered Level D forums, somebody suggested disabling windows error reporting. That seems to have worked.

FSX Steam and Level-D Installation
Yep, using W10. Seems futile to ask, but is there a way around those problems? I just wonder because apparently some people have this plane working?

FSX Steam and Level-D Installation
So I have since been able to install it and start the sim. However, the sim takes much longer to load up, and the menus are impossibly sluggish to navigate. When I finally have everything set up and hit "fly now" (after 30 minutes of click....wait....select aircraft....OK....wait..........click....select location....etc) I just have an eternal freeze. When I look in my process manager, I noticed there is a second fsx process. What is this, and maybe it's having some effect? http://puu.sh/pbzQI/b9218550a1.png

FlightSimLabs A320 Ready for Takeoff!
I'm just wondering what will be in the "pro" version for P3D that won't be in the entertainment version. More systems. Aerosoft is a toy compared to this.

How to identify the correct gates used by specific airline at airports ?
The schedules yes, but not the gates, usually. Unless you're using some fancy version of flightaware that I'm not aware of

How to identify the correct gates used by specific airline at airports ?
Mostly just for US flights though, with a few exceptions.

EHAM suggestions?
I've managed to avoid the Aerosoft version. Tried NL2000 and the FPS is not acceptable (I was getting single digits). So I'm still plenty content using Ray Smith's AFCAD.

Quality wings or Captain sim 757?
I have them both, and neither have been installed in my sim for years. I wouldn't waste money on either. Maybe consider X-Plane 10 and the FlightFactor 757. It's not perfect, but it's still probably the best 757 out there for any sim at the moment.

What are your favorite UK2000 airports?
They're all roughly the same good quality. I probably fly in and out of Gatwick the most.

777 performance vs 737
I have an older machine. NGX runs much better for me.

P3D V3.2 & SODE or GSX - UPDATE INFORMATION
Just a general question...is SODE exclusive to P3D? (I'm on FSX:SE)
-
FSX Steam and Level-D Installation
I am unable to get this thing to work. Thought it was a problem with EZdok. After installing the 767, I get some simconnect warnings and FSX just hangs and refuses to start up (everything is properly in the DLL.xml). Re-ran the Ezdok configurator. I installed all three of the simconnects. Problem still persists. If I uninstall the 767, this problem goes away and the sim starts up fine. I am on a standalone FSX:SE. No original boxed installation.

Blackbox a330/a340
No. At least not in its current state.
-
F1 Super KingAir or Carenado C90 GTX?
Depends what you want. Carenado is easier. The Flight1 is more of an in-depth "study" sim.
-
Settings on MAX with addons and scenery and buildings aren't as good as I've seen in videos
Ground Environment/Ultimate Terrain and the FTX Global/Vector stuff do the same sort of thing, and probably shouldn't be used simultaneously.

[02JAN16] COEXISTENCE FAILURE - Update 2
I never had a chance to download the original installer, just this new updated one, and the installer ran perfectly fine! I just use standalone FSX:SE.

Clickspot errors
It's only on this plane though (so far at least).
