I just checked. With Norton 360 you can permanently disable auto protect.

I’m using the paid version of malwarebytes which allows me to simply close it before I start the sim. Wrt Norton 360 I have all functions loaded up on every startup however I simply stop the auto protect before I start the sim. This prevents it scanning my sim stuff while I’m using it ( I know there’s an option to exclude folders etc from Norton but I just disable it while I’m simming since I’m not doing anything otherwise which may leave me vulnerable to viruses )

I am currently using Windows 7 Pro with P3d 4.5 with no problems. Other addons include active sky, pfpx, fs2crew, gsx l2, ultimate traffic live v1 and 2, tons of sceneries and aircraft from pmdg, Leonardo majestic etc. YouTube works well and there’s nothing I can’t do in 7 that I do on my 10 systems, except a maybe run dx12 software. I use Norton 360 and malwarebytes to make up for Microsoft not providing any more security updates.

The reviews so far have been mostly positive which is encouraging however after watching a startup video I noticed the aircraft still suffers from CS's "explosive" EGT startup, which has me worried about their engine simulation. Coupled with PW's use of EPR to set power (which are notoriously inaccurate for CS's aircraft), I was wondering if anyone has tested the engine performance specs against the book to see its accuracy.

Sounds promising indeed! It's good you compared it with the PMDG's as I also fly them and base the depth of system simulations of other addons on them.

Correct. I own a few of CS's birds (B732, B721/2 and L1011) and although they look great and visually add to the immersion, their lack of systems and performance simulations totally destroy the enjoyment as well as discourage you from "investing" your time simulating a flight with their aircraft, especially when there are others on the market which does (although not the same aircraft type). Aspects of the aircraft which appeal to me most are the flight path calculations and tracking, fluid simulations (oil temps and pressures, fuel temps, air conditioning and pressurization, and all of the effects of the current environment on them), engine performance and fuel burn to specs, and last but not least electrical simulations. I don't think that's asking the impossible since a lot of other devs program such features to some degree into their aircraft, which is why I'm not opposed to the price they are asking, just once it's not one of their "usual"releases. For those brave ones who did purchase this software, some feedback on the accuracy of the behind-the-scenes simulations would be greatly welcomed for the rest of us who are interested but cautious.

Yes

Thanks for the update.....I'm still waiting on fspilotshop to catch up.

Any clue on when 2.2 is heading off to the vendors for download? I'm anxious to get my hands on it considering the numerous fixes.

Just got the email as well. Searched the forums but didn't find a change log. Can anyone help me out?

Good day all. Just noticed that 2.2 was released yesterday (04 MAR) however on checking fspilotshop to redownload the new version, the old 2.1 is still on their servers. Requesting a timeframe for when 2.2 would be sent out.

In Pfpx's options, use ASN as the wx source. That way, pfpx will plan your flt using the exact wx that's going to be loaded in the sim. Just remember to start up ASN before planning a flt using PFPX.

The reason is because you have two DISPLAY entries: [DISPLAY.Device.Intel® HD Graphics.0] Mode=1920x1080x32 TriLinear=1 [DISPLAY.Device.Intel® HD Graphics.0.0] Mode=1920x1080x32 The ".0" is directx 9 and "0.0" is directx 10 Every DISPLAY entry you have in your cfg essentially splits up the frames; in this case you added a second one, the "0.0" which was when you selected directx 10 which halved your frame rate. Delete the second DISPLAY entry and whenever you want to switch to DX10, add a ".0" to the first one making it from [DISPLAY.Device.Intel® HD Graphics.0] to [DISPLAY.Device.Intel® HD Graphics.0.0]

Make sure no other hardware is attached to the brakes command (eg if you have another joystick plugged in). Additionally you can add a little deadzone to the brakes axis so that even if you just slightly touch either of the toe brakes, they won't apply.

It could also be the APU. Developers use the APU as another engine so if it is running at the gate with engines off, it will have the same visual effect as the actual engine running and blowing water on the ground.

www.fsdreamteam.com They have most of the major airports of the island chain at incredible detail. Be advised the scenery requires lots of computer resources if you plan to fly a 737 into them plus they are a bit pricey, but worth the cost.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot but on the page to submit the ticket, PMDG advised that the ticket system was for product reactivations only.

I'm posting on the forum because of a lack of direct support for non-software based products. It's directed to the PMDG staff. I was just wondering the normal delivery times for the ngx manuals. I placed the order for the captain's set on the 9th of January and got a tracking number soon after. Within a week, the package arrived in Miami. However when I opened the package (I noticed it the box was smaller than expected), it was just the QRH (the color upgrade). I was wondering how long after the rest of the manuals would arrive, considering it's coming up to a month that I've purchased the set.
