You know, I got this error myself a week or 2 ago, but I found out it had to do with a setting in my instant messenger program to allow for in game chat.. More than likely, a software on your computer is interfering, You just need to find out what it is.. Could be a setting in a program on your computer that just needs to be disabled.. Programs such as lenovo applications or what darkstar said, ATI software can cause the issue. Also if you have Trillian instant messenger installed, it will cause that error if you have in game chat turned on.' did you make any changes to any programs since the last time couatl worked?

What folder is your FSX in? Keep it out of C:\program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files if you haven't already. Suggested C:\FSX

on the legs page, select the leg directly under the line that has the [][][][] and then click the line select key for the [][][][] to replace it. You can't delete the [][][][] in itself.

if anyone who is having issues with Couatl and also has Trillian instant messenger, make sure ingame chat is turned off within trillian preferences, it doesn't work with couatl. Don't know if anyone here has trillian, just figured I'd throw it out there just incase. Other than that, I've had no issues whatsoever with Couatl or AM They work flawless for me.

Yes, but there were legs in there that would take me around the airport? Here's the settings I had set on the dep/arrival page i had set for departure KLAX 7L and arrival ILS 07L On the legs page, there are 3 rows, 1st leg is FEKIL and the 2nd leg is TURKA, 3rd leg is Runway 7L. The moment I lift off, FEKIL and TURKA both disappear before I even reach them.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I've been testing the 777 on just a round trip, from say KLAX to KLAX, just doing a circle around the airport to get the hang of it. I'd program the FMC like it shows on tutorial #1, setting my current position in the POS INIT and then in RTE I would put in KLAX to KLAX, set my dep/arr to KLAX Rwy 7L -> klax ILS 7l No sid/stars, just wanting to circle the airport and come in again to test it out. I'd then go to my legs page, and it would have a discontinuity [][][][] and I would click the one below, and move it up one to close the discontinuity. The ND will show the purple line just fine, circling the airport, and returning to the same runway. I turn on the Flight directors on both sides, select VNAV/LNAV set my altitude and speed on the MCP and then set flaps, set RTO on brakes, and I take off... The moment I take off, all the legs will just disappear and the next leg is just Rwy 7L, and the plane has no path to follow so it just goes into a set of left/right turns not following any path, eventually possibly even just taking me back to the runway in the middle of the airport. This has happened every time so far I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I also can't even seem to get the step mode to come on as it shows in the tutorial:/ Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong to cause the legs to all vanish?

Yes, I am too.

what they said.. Open the PMDG Operations Center, click the blue button on the top left "Please select a product" and select the 777, then on the left menu click documentation.

Before you reinstall, read the 777 documentation.. There was a statement in the 777 introduction file about a setting to fix that. Nevermind, just looked at the fix, and looks like you have it already.

wow! when it showed the baggage carts around 40 seconds, they looked so photo-real i thought i saw the canvases blowing in the wind:P

do you have widescreen enabled in your fsx.cfg file? If not set it as true/1 and then open FSX and zoom in a notch or two until it looks like it did w/o widescreen enabled. That should help with the LOD radius.

Assuming that you have "enable audio" selected and made sure xpax is connected to FSX, sometimes Xpax doesn't connect the first time. If it's connected, have you opened your door to start the boarding process when ingame? or did you start straight from the runway? If the latter, you need to start at the gate and open the door to start the boarding process, otherwise you can skip to a different state on the xpax main menu.Those are what comes straight to my mind as troubleshooters.

believe this was an issue with the last update that they said would be fixed on sp1c

No, it will not create a flight plan for the FMC for the NGX.

xpax from hifi simulationsultimate flight crew

I believe the only competitor to XPAX is fspassengers and the new ultimate airline crew..I haven't really tried fspassengers, just the demo for a short couple minutes. I think what you're wanting is to be able to just have it for the sake of the cabin announcements and landing information? Xpax will give you a general score, not sure if it gives much more, as I've never really looked. Xpax has the most realistic voices, they aren't computer generated, or at least you can't really tell, so that puts xpax on top for me.Unfortunately HiFi discontinued Xpax a couple years ago, so there have not been any updates, but it's still imo the best out there still.I don't know if Xpax will work with AES, I'll let someone else answer that.

only thing I can say is that the voices are computerized voices, I was hoping for an actual human recording. computerized voices bother me lol, but they are clear voices. you can download the English US soundpack on their website and open the zip file to hear them for yourself. Ultimate Airline Crew (US English Package) add on

I own it, and love it for the most part. It will automatically do the call outs based on what stage of flight you are in, so you don't have to go manually selecting the cabin announcements, which is nice, cause I always forget to do that with the FDSFX panel lol. Downside to it though is that there are times where it will prematurely announce the descent announcement if you happen to descend at all, so if you say, overclimbed, and you had to descend back down a couple hundred feet, it may prematurely think you're descending and skip the cruise announcement and just play the descent announcement. It does give you the option to skip to different states, but it doesn't always work properly either. Also if you're doing a step climb, and climb to say 10k feet, then 15k, then climb to 25k feet for instance, if you happened to level out for more than a second or 2, it'll think you're done with your climb and play the cruise announcement. I've gotten around that by doing a steady climb, not letting myself level out, most cases, ATC will clear me quick enough to go to the next step of my climb.And I'm not sure if it's my system or not, but the flight approval ratings don't always work either, over half my flights, the passenger approval ratings will start at 0% and never move, the rest of the times it'll start at 100% and barely drop unless I screw up multiple times. I don't pay much attention to that anymore though. I use Ideal flight for that purpose now anyways lol.Even though it has its glitches, I do still enjoy the product, hardly fly without it, I love the ambience sound it makes, I love the announcements, and overall, I haven't been dissatisfied owning it.

what's the long beep mean? I've not been able to figure it out during my flights and have been curious.

are you using FS water configurator? I don't think it works with shader 3.0, at least it doesn't for me, unless there's a tweak for it. I had to undo shader 3.0 or FSWC.. but can't have both:(

I did notice oddly that I was flying the united livery with winglets, cant' remember if it was the 800 or 900 model, just that it was a winglet model.. and all of a sudden, i saw on the winglet KLM which wasn't there before, and went away after a reboot.. it was pretty weird lol.

During the descent portion of your FMC flight plan, the FMC will disengage throttles and bring them to idle as the verticle speed will be enough to get your speed to what the FMC states for the speed limits for each leg.

I had an issue like this yesterday.. Spent 2 hours inputting my flight plan into the FMC from KLAS to KPHX.. I wanted to land runway 25r, which has no ILS information so i would need to do a manual landing, but no AI aircraft ever land on it so i can always get cleared for landing w/o AI aircraft all flying right past me and beating me to it since they all come in for approach at 250 knots:/ And when I disengaged the autopilot to land manually on my final approach, the FMC kicked on and started taking me into a circle and then nosedive. I could not figure out how to take control again, the autopilot and flight directors and autospeed were all turned off, and the FMC already said end of route. But i nosedived and crashed into the ground:( now I'm not sure if I just missed something or not, but it did make me wonder if it'll try it again on another flight.

i just tried the pushback on the 800 WL model and it worked so it may have just been me not doing something right.. and i think my plane was fully loaded as for throttle, but i'm about to do a short flight to practice my landings so i'll check on it all again lol.

In regards to the pfd showing 45 knots.. it feels like it's taxiing at 45knots for some reason too, I don't have to push my throttles up at all for the aircraft to start to move.. is it the same for you? it seems to be counteracting the pushback feature in FMC is what I'm thinking.. I can pushback just fine by just doing the keyboard short cut, but not via fmc, and can't get the aircraft to turn right during a manual push back. I think i tried the push back feature in the FMC a couple times on the same flight and each time the aircraft wanted to go forward as if it was counteracting the pushback.
