Can I add my voice to this post? I, too, own the GNS530 and 430 and wonder if there is a way to replace the one that come with the aircraft with one of these...or do you feel that yours has the same functionality? Justin Friedland

Stop the presses. I've discovered this is a case of pilot error. I inadvertently assigned two functions to the same button on my yoke, and every time I paused my TrackIR, I was also increasing the left wing down aileron trim setting on the NGX. I thought I had cleared that button function, but I had not. Always check the most obvious stuff first. Sorry for the confusion. My apologies to PMDG.

A problem I've never seen until I updated my 800/900 and 600/700. Full left-wing down aileron trim, yesterday on take-off, today, after being in trim all flight, on landing when I disconnected the A/P at 100 ft. Is this something I am doing? This never was an issue until I updated with the new installer. I did uninstall everything before running the installer as an administrator. Wouldn't be a problem, save for the fact that in order to get to the trim switches, you have to basically stop flying the airplane and significantly change views. Thoughts?

It's a pretty complete experience now, Captain, thanks in large measure to your creations. Since you used to be a JS41 pilot, load that beauty up at, say, KPHL and fly to KLGA. Short and sweet, and usually great ATC along the way. Add in your favorite weather program and the authenticity will be there. And we are always happy to help newbies. Justin Friedland VATGOV10

Gregg, Our pilot program has a complete module and rating for VFR pilots, which covers all aspects of general aviation. Even without the rating, all of our controllers are schooled in the care and feeding of general aviation pilots and there should be ample support for anyone who does not fly the big iron, from pure VFR, to flight following, to general aviation IFR flights.

New c/d files on the main site are excellent. Solved all the problems. Many thanks.

I understand that the 24B needs its own unique c/d startup, but I am having no luck setting one up. I have loaded the fsx default air trike, then switched to the 24B. I then turn everything off: batts, fuel pumps, lights, every switch is in the off position, and the engines spool down to zero rpm (although the exh temp never quite goes to zero. I have then noticed that a number of indicator lights stay on, the FUS TANK green indicator for example. I save the new cold and dark aircraft (having changed to my home airport of KHPN) and then close FSX, and reboot the computer. When I then try to restart FSX and bring up my new c/d 24B, it loads with engines running at idle, but everything else off: all switches, etc., are right where I left them, but the engines are running. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Justin Friedland

Help. I cannot get the props to unfeather as they used to. Batts are on, GPU is on, power levers in rev., I move the unfeather switch left and right, go to an outside view, and NOTHING is happening. Props stay feathered. Condition levers are in taxi. I am doing everything I have done for years (with great success) but now the props will not unfeather. I just reinstalled the JS41, to no avail. Anyone have a suggestion? I am assuming this is my error somehow, but I can't for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong.

Yep have the NGX and it runs brilliantly.

I would really like to purchase the t7,but want to make sure it will run on my system which is: AMD 5600+ CPU dual core SLI nvidia mono 4 gb ram 460 video card 1 gb ram 750 watt power supply Sorry i'm not supplying more details but I am not near the computer at the moment. Thank you. Justin Friedland

To Byork- I have, unfortunately, used System Mechanic before they put their registry rollback feature in place, so I have no reset point to go back to. I do have a question about SAPI - my speech recognition program does work, I can set up my microphone and run my computer using the built-in Microsoft system, so that is not damaged, but the voice button will not come on and stay on in FS2 Crew. My question is, doesn't the voice control program use SAPI? I did notice that FS2Crew installs Speech SDK 5.1 but a check of the Microsoft website says that System 7 (which I am using) is built with Speech SDK 5.4. Might that be creating a conflict? I'd really love to get FS2 crew working, but if I have to reinstall System 7 to do that, and if that means starting over with the installation of FSX and all the add-ons I've built up over the years, it's just not going to happen. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks, J. Friedland
