Hi all,Problem solved, it was a corrupted installer. After re download my 737NGX 600-700 copy the installation completed successfully.John

Thanks Carl,I'll wait for the final PMDG answer on my issue and then I'll post.Regards,John

Carl thank you for your help but there are no changes than the stock install. It is a new PC bought with the OS installed and FSX, Acceeleration and every addon (737NGX 800-900 is included) was installed quite succesfully.John

Hi Carl,I use W7 64bit professional (no tweaked and of course fully updated). The question is why my OS refuses to install the 600-700 expansion only. 800-900 isntalled succesfully few hours ago!Regards,John

Dear all,After a succesfull installation of PMDG737NGX 800-900 (3118 full installer) in my new PC, i proceeded with the 600-700 expansion (3118 full installer downloaded from PMDG). Attempting the 600-700 installation i faced the error "Feature transfer file - Catastrophic failure" and thus it is impossible to install and use my 600-700 copy.Is there anyone had ever the same issue? (I submitted a ticket in PMDG support but they said that is an OS issue and I' m wondering why on this specific installer only?)Any help will be higly appreciated,Regards,John

I'll post my settings as soon as I'll be home. As per ******* tweak: yes I have try it. I 'm using it long time ago in my Core2Duo (E6850) desktop PC as well (where I'm getting better fps with much higher settings). John

The same problem hereI run NGX in an i7 2720QM (2,2ghz), GTX 460m, 8g ram laprop and I'm just getting 10 to 15 fps in low settings. Seems that the PMDG's best performance recommendation (Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (Sandy Bridge core) or better) is not quite reliable. Of course, I followed all the above mentioned tweaks and settings in order to optimize performance. John

Robert,Thanks a lot for the update.Waiting for the NG2 FS9 release as well as for the Dash8 news.Best Regards,John

Dear all,I installed new 191.07 nvidia drivers, having nHancer 2.5.7. I created a new profile for FS2004 but I still can't AA.Any suggestions?John

Hi Frederick,Try to access these menus while not in full screen mode. I don't know why but PMDG menus seems that are not working while in full screen mode.John

Hi to all,I would like to describe the following problem occured after installation of the new 190.62 nvidia drivers.I 'm running FS9.1 under Vista 64bits with absolutely no problems using drivers up to 186.18.After installing 190.62 and when in full screen mode everything turns to black periodically (every 2 secs). The same problem occured with 190.38 also.As I tried to uninstall the driver in order to come back to the previous sitituation, I received an error message about NVCPL.dll. After this point I was receiving this error message in every OS startupI managed to turn back to 186.18 using system restore and everything is OK now.However, it seems that I can't update nvidia drivers due to the full screen problem.Any suggestions will be highly appreciated,Thanks,JohnCPU: E6850 (3.0Ghz)GPU: Nvidia 8800 GTS 320MBRAM: 4gOS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64b

Hi Richard,I have already read all the released course tutorials and are very good written indeed. However, course no 5 is mentioned in the last page of no 4 rating course and is promised as the tutorial dedicated for various approach types (like a VOR approach).Something similar happens with the "MD11 Advanced Tutorial" that is promised in the last pages of the basic tutorial.I'm already flying both airplanes. Just wondering how long (in term of months or years) takes for the promised PMDG tutorials to be released.John

Dear PMDG,I recently bought 747-400 for FS9 and I own MD11 as well. I would like to know where can I find the promised PMDG 747-400 Type Rating course 5 and the PMDG MD11 Advanced Tutorial???ThanksJohn

Hi Dan,Thanks a lot for your reply!John

Dear Dan,Is PMDG 747-400 for FS2004 compatible with Vista 64bit? I would like to buy the 747 FS2004 version and I' m wondering about that.Thank you for your response,John

If you are using SB4 and FS9 try to disable UPnP on your router settings. I had the same problem and just resolved it this way.John

Hello Rob and thanks for the instant response,No, I didn't had any HYD fault messages. The only fault message I had was the "CONFIG" and as I turn to config screen I saw the message "Autobrake is off". I 'm not using fspassengers and my setup is (Vista 64bit, FS9, MD11 last version).John

Dear all,Yesterday, as I was flying online the MD11 I experienced the following situation:After landing and proceed to shutdown checklist I prepared the airplane for the next trip (without reloading tha plane).After take off I was not able to retract the landing gear (except the center one). The truth is that I delayed to retract the gear. After many attempts I slow down to 220 knots in order to retract the gear but I was still unable to do so. After all I executed the whole flight with landing gear down (except center gear - three greens).Did anyone knows if I did something wrong? Is that a normal MD11 behavior?And something else: Where is the PMDG promised MD11 advanced tutorial?Thanks for your help,John

Dear PMDG,Any plans about the promised advanced tutorial?John

Dear all,Is there a way to reset clock in MD-11?Regards,John

Dear Michael,Here are the [LIGHTS] and [sMOKESYSTEM] sections of my MD11 aircraft.cfg file you requested:[LIGHTS]//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobes, 3=Navigation, 4=Cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=Logolight.0 = 8, -85.231, 23.611, -1.000, fx_PMDG_MD11_winglight,light.1 = 7, -85.231, -23.611, -1.000, fx_PMDG_MD11_winglight,light.2 = 2, -14.500, 0.00, -10.750, fx_PMDG_MD11_LL_Light,light.3 = 9, -7.025, 0.00, 4.263, fx_PMDG_MD11_emerlights,[sMOKESYSTEM]smoke.0 = -7.025, 0.00, 4.263, fx_PMDG_MD11_cockpit,I 'm facing the same lighting problem also.John

Hello Leffe,Firstly, I would like to thank you for your reply.As per my FSX installation there is no other addon but MD-11 and Level D 767ER installed. I recently updated my hardware with 2 more gbs of memory and I have no problems so far.Did you know if is possible to update a 32bit OS to a 64bit one without a fresh install of the OS?Regards,John

Obviously, PMDG must change its minimum and recommended specs and make clear that a 64bit OS is necessary to run this product!John

Dear PMDG support,I recently bought MD-11X and as I
