Hi Robert, Thanks for the progress report and thanks also to the hard working team. The support is quality and up there with the PMDG products. Now for us disc holders who are waiting patiently, would PMDG/Aerosoft accept a conversion to download, using our original serial and order details to avoid misuse? Just a thought but download speeds have improved and reliability is not the issue it was only a few years back. Thanks for your thoughts Regards Brian Newman

Dan please let me know do you have FSX and FSX:SE on the same drive and do both recognise your add ons? If that's so did you have to duplicate installation to each sim or was the original instal recognised by SE? Hope I explained that clearly. Thanks, Brian.

Hi Geoff and Greg, Thanks for the feed back. In a dark place the light shines a long way! Gregg I uninstalled the NG but coming to reinstall the disc requested SP2 installation in FSX. Strange because it was patched already and FSX would not let me patch again. I've now uninstalled FSX and am also removing all other add ons following the PMDG guide, Geoff thanks for the link. I'm not sure whether to go FSX again or try FSX SE. I read PMDG are working for compatibility on both platforms but is it wise to have two similar OS on the same drive, particularly when they will be sharing the same add ons? There is some good news. Robert confirms we are only days from the 777 [ which I don't yet have] being available for FSX SE so by default I should get promoted from 737 to 777. Assuming of course the wife understands the urgency. Thanks again Greg and Geoff for your support, it helps to know these things happen to others also. Regards, Brian.

Thanks Greg, The people at REX are unable to add anything either. I ran Ccleaner, not to change anything but to locate the problem. I'm missing a mountain of shared dlls. Mainly linked to PMDG. The registry key is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current version\Shared Dlls. Besides PMDG there are two more entries needing this reg. key, which are C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v1.0.3705\system.enterpriseservices dll and v.1.0.3705\vsavb 7rt.dll Besides PMDG , Majestic and Qualitywings aircraft I've lost a bucketload of add on scenery. You have probably gathered I'm no teckie and I'm wondering whether to uninstall everything and start over. Being retired I guess I can find the time! Brian

Any help &/or ideas much appreciated. I uninstalled Rex Soft Clouds using their uninstall . What went wrong is unknown but the result was loss of shortcut icons to majority of add on aircraft and scenery as well as the FSX icon. I have regained FSX using the disc to do a repair and have the basic sim working. From the sim I can see only the FSX base aircraft are listed. I want now to remove each add on and reinstall starting with the PMDG 737NG. Firstly because it is the most flown and secondly it was installed from disc. I read that it is unwise to manually uninstall ( It is still shown in the Windows Uninstall list ). Could someone advise on the best way of removing the 737NG patched to SP1. If I use the disc is there a repair option available? Lastly I am considering going FSX Steam as a possible fall back position but will stll need to remove the NG. All help appreciated. Briman. ps. I'm using W7. My apologies for multi posting . The connection was not good. Thanks for any help briman.

Question for Rob, Out of interest how does the Industry establish a piracy rate of 60% ? maybe I'm out the loop but I would be nervous about downloading anything from a suspect source for the obvious risks involved and that's before the ethical consideration. regards Brian Newman

Dillon, PIA is a moslem airline and are not going to tolerate alcohol intake by crew, even though it almost certainly happens as this case illustrates. Brian Newman.

What is his punishment , in reality ? Does anyone expect him to be taken back by the airline ? I would't be surprised if his days as a commercial pilot are finished. Rather more than 9 months. Brian Newman.

Whatever his motives, Nick is informative , how can that be wrong? If he's talking bunk we''ll soon hear from the other side. Good to have the facts before parting with your money.

Hi Rob, Just caught this thread as I was thinking of buying an ORBX product and am now backing off. I still don't understand how you started receiving support and then found difficulty gaining access to their site? Hope you got to work what you paid for and enjoy your simming which is what it's about! Briman
