Lifelong Asus junkie here. Always had great reliability and fantastic performance with Asus MB's. My last build on a Asus MB lasted over 6 years on a OC'd system that was on 24/7 for most of that time. On my most recent build I went with a Asus Z170A but the board came DOA. Took it back to Micro Center to exchange but they were sold out of the Z170A's. Was gonna go with the Hero but I got a fantastic deal on a ASRock Extreme6. I've been quite impressed with this board so far. Coupled with GSkill DDR3400 ram it's humming along very nicely and stable at 4.7ghz. Still an Asus fan but nice to find success with other brands too.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will go with 2 x 8 (16gb) memory and when or if I need to upgrade, hopefully won't have any problems matching the set.

Hi all, I'm looking into finally upgrading my [email protected] rig. This CPU has lasted me over 6 great years but alas the time has come to jump on the 6700k/Z170 band wagon. I want to go with 32GB memory primarily for (future proofing) X-Plane and P3D and gaming. Looking to go with DDR3400 just for the added overclocking headroom. Would I be better off going with 2 dimms or 4 dimms? 32GB (4 X 8GB) DDR4 3400 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231917&ignorebbr=1 or 32GB (2 X 16GB) DDR4 3333 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232295 Will be using one of the Asus motherboards, haven't decided which one yet. Micro Center currently has a great deal on the Asus Z170-AR for $109.99 with CPU Combo, but the GSkill QVL doesn't show official support for compatibility with that particular MB. Thanks for any opinions!

Google Earth is also pretty good at finding some weather.

I have the same problem. When I load up cold and dark the CDU is blank. Holding down the MENU button will not turn it on. The only way to turn it on is to bring up the 2D version by using shift-3 or clicking the CDU screen itself. But it's ok, I can deal with it...as long as it works!

I think the whole point of this thread(and the other threads on this issue) is the desire to fly the aircraft by the official Boeing numbers and have it react accordingly during this important phase of flight(approach/landing) I'm surprised this wasn't caught during the beta period. Also surprised at the lack of comments by the PMDG team about this.

Watch the aircraft in outside view as you switch between 2-class and single class configuration. You will see the nose gear compress slightly in the single class config...due to the added weight up front

I tend to have similar results(0 degree attitude) when I fly the approach by the official numbers. Could possibly try coming in at 5 to 7 kts slower and compare the results.

I just did this flight. IGS RWY 25 approach into LSGS. I couldn't get the ISI 108.35 offset LOC to come up at all. I had to use the SIO VOR without glidescope guidance on a 6 degree approach descent from 16000' down to 3000' was an awesome approach. Will definitely be doing this one again!

That worked, thanks. Have to save the random failures state with the panel state or else it will default back to off.

I'll give that a try, thanks!

Is anyone having problems saving the random failures state? I turn on random failures, choose the number of failures(3) then execute. I exit out of FSX then restart in the same livery but random failures has defaulted back to off. Jeez, I was wondering why I haven't been getting any failures after hours and hours of flying!

Did you check for any route discontinuities in the legs page after you made the change?

+1 I know it was mentioned here but I can't seem to find that post!

This is important! I was losing my mind trying to figure out why I wasn't able to manually add Along-Track Place-Bearing/Distance waypoints . I was manually typing the waypoint names in the scratch pad and getting the "invalid" error. Finally figured it out that you have to use the line select key to place the waypoint name into the scratch pad then manually type out the parameters.
