Why in the world would an aircraft have NAV radios, but no instruments to use them? You could technically use the GPS to fly waypoint to waypoint and you could fly an airway using it, but it would not be "legal" in the real world without an approved GPS, and I believe functioning VORs are mandatory, but the virtual world is what you're happy with.

I know this reply is quite late, but I found that the source of this problem on my Win7 64bit machine was a faulty or missing SP2 for FSX.I uninstalled/reinstalled FSX with SP1 and 2, and never had the problem again. The reinstall also solved some other problems as a bonus.

Thanks for responding, both of you. For some weird reason, the PMDG 1900D finally installed, after numerous (I mean about 15) attempts and a bunch of reboots. It did not show up in the uninstall list, but just suddenly showed up just where it should in FS9. No clue why or what the problem was.And yes I did email support, twice, starting on the 13th. I did hear from them last evening .... an apparent email problem, although I can't find any evidence of it on my end.Anyway, on the positive side, PMDG does provide a nice FAQ to port this particular aircraft into FSX, and it worked without a hitch.

Interesting. 24 reads on this topic, no replies, and no response from PMDG to a legitimate question. I realize it's only $19+, but I've also purchased several other downloads from PMDG, spent a fair amount of money. Doesn't the question deserve a response of some sort?

Just purchased PMDG 1900D and tried multiple times to install it, with no luck. I even extracted the .exe file and installed it as administrator. It doesn't show up anywhere in the FS9 folders. Wondering if this is some kind of Vista issue, or something else.Any help would be appreciated. I like the old turboprops. :( Tim Sheehan
