I wouldn't be surprised if PMDG have stopped reading most of these posts and are just quietly getting on with the job of putting SP1 together. If they read the posts on here they wouldn't know if they were coming or going, Arthur or Martha, which they were turnimng - or whatever they equivalent saying is in your language. I think we all get it by now - some of us have perfect operation (I even get an extra 3-5 FPS after Hotfix 3) and some of us are having problems. I really do believe that most of you who are having problems have setup issues - try running the stock Cessna first - an old solution but a goodie none the less. I refuse to see how many of us are problem free yet some are still experiencing difficulties - are your OS's legit? Some of the pirate XP versions for example ditched some features incl. crypt.dll plus many more in the interests of a streamlined OS. And of course you can't patch/update your OS if you never paid for it in the first place. Just another possibility that may be causing a few of you problems. Overclocking...how many of you bought fast PCs not knowing that they were overclocked to the limit in the first place....go into BIOS and check that you are running at stock speeds. Something this complicated is causing 100% processor and max heat...more room for errors and CTDs. Same goes for RAM speeds...wind the speeds back slightly and see what happens. In a nutshell....let PMDG get on with it - they will already know most if not all of the bugs by now and we don't need to see them over and over. If you must post, check that it isn't already covered in the forum....and Henri....can I interest you in a complete 737NG CBT package complete with multimedia tutorials (free pirated) to shut you up about documentation.

Yes I can see what he is trying to say. It looks pretty normal though. When flying out in the sun the reflections in the glass change all that.

He means the display once were clear and 'new looking' but now they have fingerprints and smudges and look 'used'....unless he means the heading line which is supposed to be dashed...then again he may be referring to a slight anti-aliasing problem. But hey, looks good to me.

My HOTAS Warthog works perfectly : In FSX : Throttle - HOTAS Warthog Engine 2 throttle axis set about 60%Engine 1 throttle axis set about 60%Flaps axis set 100%Leave Gear mapped to GLeave F1 mapped to throttle idleLeave F2 mapped to rapid decreaseRemove all other unnecessary button assignments except views plus a few others In FSUIPC Joystick Axes Tab : Assign Z axis to engine 1 throttleAssign Z Rot to engine 2 throttle For each axis Push 'Set' & move through range - push 'Set'Clear 3 & 4 Assign throttle cut switch (On) to F2Assign throttle cut switch (Off) to F1 Do the same for 'Incr' slider - Good Flaps control Everything else maps beautifully - I can fly hands off the keyboard (almost) including EZDok control from the HOTAS Joystick

There is an issue for some people and is already being looked at by PMDG - It works fine for some people.

Could we just check that there isn't a processer issue...Many CTD folk seem to have i7's whereas Core2 Duo (and AMD 2 core flavours) seem to be ok. Worth a check?

Hmm..Don't think so. I have a truckload of Oceania scenery loaded, plus four airport scenry packages and everything runs just fine.

Just Just checking that you have F2 mapped to repeat on the joystick button?

Many reasons : Cruise setting on MCP, Performance (fuel weight, payload), pressurization.

You need to do this.... http://forum.avsim.net/topic/336155-magnetic-variation-updates-for-fs9-and-fsx/

Yes KSFOKSEA into scratchpad then lsk to CoRoute

No it covers the whole world. The region you want is selectable. As I said, watch out it has many hidden tabs and features.

Download VROUTE and select PMDF format output. Be careful vroute has many tabs.

When you have CTD's try running 'Previous Flight' from your My Docs\FSX Files folder.

In FSX controller options I have : Engine 1 Throttle Axis mapped to HOTAS Throttle Z RotationEngine 2 Throttle Axis mapped to HOTAS Throttle Z AxisFlaps mapped to HOTAS Throttle Slider In FSUIPC (tick the map for aircraft box) :Joystick CalibrationSelect Seperate Throttles per engineReset Throttle 1 then Set (move throttle through entire range)Reset Throttle 2 then Set (move throttle through entire range)Goto Button assignments in FSUIPC and assign Button 28 or 29 to F2 (Repeating) and F1 on release to return throttles to idle.
