  1. Robert, I have been in contact with support and after a couple of days I have solved the issue. It is not clear what the problem is (drivers, updates ???) so I cannot post 'the solution'. What I did after trying again and again for several days: Instal win-7, NO updates, NO drivers, NOT changing the location of 'My Documents' (don't know why this was all of a sudden a problem), instal FSX and PMDG-planes, and then run all the updates. Greetings, Goof van den Biggelaar
  2. I reformatted my system, Installed Win-7, every possible updates, FSX+expansion, then I installed the NGX. After a few pupups (dealing about several dll's, which I confirmed) I am still waiting for the well know activation popup. It won't appear. My fsx freezes. I even tried to install the good old MD-11, same sort of thing happens: some popups appears amd then fsx freezes. The only thing I've changed in comparison with previous installs is that I'm using a different drive (D:\fsx instead of C:\fsx) I've submitted a support ticket. Got feedback to check for common solutions, such as SP1+2, administrative rights, to make sure I did not delete services etc. None of this was applicable, saddly. I just even installed the SDK, and run the simconnect.msi (as an act of desperate). Help would be much appreciated Goof van den Biggelaar my rig: i7 3770k - GTX680 - Win 7 Ultimate
  3. Ooops, It shouldn't be: 'short stop' panelstate but 'NGX SHORT' But I googled, and except buying fs2crew, I cannot find anything else.
  4. There are several checklists for normal procedures. They all asume that you are starting up from 'cold and dark'. A great example is the checklist designed by Michael Swannick I like to start from a panel state 'short stop' and would like to know which items from the normal procedure I can skip and which don't. Is there such a checklist? And where can I find it? Goof van den Biggelaar
  5. Too bad.I did as suggested in the post.All it deed was terminating fsx when I pressed on the 'fly now' button. By the way, How many fps will it differ... unlimited without fps_limiter and unlimited with fps_limiter?
  6. I've done all the instructions. Googled hours for the answer on the error I get.Running the .bat gives me the error message (it's in Dutch, so I've to translate it):"cannot start application correctly (0xc000005). Click OK to quit the application" I've added the message in the attachment. I've got the strange idea that I'm the only one who got this specific error message.Help will be appreciated!

    The funny thing is that whatever you are going to say in a topic, as long as it has words like "tutorial" "release" "getting close" in its subject, the hits-counter-number will be very high.Almost 1000 now within a day or 2? :( good luck!GoofEHVK
  10. It's august 2009, and still there is no sollution for this.Am I correct that the only solve is still to delete all 'old' saved flights and panelstates.Does this mean that it will work with 'new' saved flights? I mean. If I'm starting with new ones, the VNAV problem wiil not occur anymore?Too bad, b.t.w. I really would do the trc 4 lesson. Anyone an idea how to complete those lessons?GoofEHVK
  11. If I remember correctly from a previous topic, you have once told that you do not use VATSIM and other 'live' ATC tools.Why is it important for you to have the most recent updates?GoofEHVK
  12. I'm suprised, or mistaken...I always thought that sidstar cycles only can be purchased via navigraph (payed service).And now I see that you offer a downloadable file???What am I missing?Regards,GoofEHVK
  13. Thanks!Now I'm glad I have a nice long summer holliday.(It's raining for weeks, here in The Netherlands. So that's a good excuse, isn't it? ;) )Goof
  14. I did do the tutorial. And I am not going to ask for the advanced one ;-) After thtat, I followed the
  15. FSUIPC SETTING?Reading the posts above, I decided to buy the registred edition.Now I am at the point off filling in the settings in fsuipc. ButI wasn't aware of the huge amount of settings.Is someone who uses ASA + FSX + PMDG MD11 willing to tell me what the best settings are regarding the weather settings? (there are 3 different fields reagarding weather with several options, I found out)Regards,GoofEHVK

  17. Hi,I do afree! But what I realy want is to get sim-enthousiasts (is this correct english???) to contribute the wiki instead of the avsim forum.So, this includes a second question: why do people add/look at this forum instead of builing a knowledgebase like a wiki?Is this something pmdg could members direct to?GoofEHEH
  18. Hi,I'm not that familiar with wikipages, but on one (or several?) posts on this forum i saw members suggesting a wikipage for the md11.The purpose/goal would be to avoid hours of searching the avsim forum for the solution of -whatever-So, I wonder why pmdg never have started the opportunity to start with a (real, so members could at info) wikipage of ... md11?What would it tke to start with such an idea?Greetings,GoofEHEH

    Well, I use active sky.So my question is, works this the same as FSUIPC4? Because I'm very pleased with it.GoofEHEH
  20. Well, maybe this topic should be left open, so that all bashing etc. can be done on this one and the other topics can remain open for 'pure' sim purposes.The pros of not having the FS9 version are great... have a closer look at all my other add-ons ... Oh, and family and friends...Serious, Sim = fun. So stop nagging... my 2 cents ..Goofeheh(By the way, I am starting to miss Gamer - not -)
  21. Great! But does the release include the advanced tutorial? i really do hope so Goof EHEH
  22. Thank you so much!This is exactly where I was looking for!Goof
  23. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts!It makes sense, and as a matter of fact it helps me to overcome some frustration about dealing with some unclear issues. I do study several topics in (this) forums. I just thought (and hoped) that I overlooked some training aid.But just out of curiosity: imagine I would be a real life pilot/student, then I would have expected some training material (on paper). Or does such a real life student also start with a Cessna course like MSFS and then after several thousand hours (pfew, that
  24. Learning to flyBesides a wonderful song by Pink Floyd I have a question in general:I
  25. Hi,I hope that someone says that this question is already been asked and that it is on post ......If not: Does anyone know if and when the advanced / second training or tutorial will become online? Yes, I even do have ordered (and received) the manuals, but I realy do prefer the courses.Thanks,Goof,The Netherlands
