I also highly recommend FSUIPC. It is $10 (or $15, I don't remember), and it would be great addition to hardware worth $400+.

Hi PMDG, I'm getting "database connectivity" errors.Any chance to get direct download link which is not going through your web site by email?Can't also file ticket for the same reason. P.S. Asking here, because I believe many people are affected.Nevermind. Site is back up :) As many did report already download itself is fast.

Just to make it clear: neither FSX nor any other user mode application can cause BSOD. I would check drivers and hardware. Update everything - firmware, drivers, etc.

Do not agree with new GPU ideas. Simple check THG's ratings for GPUs where FSX is present, you'll find that it doesn't matter which card do you have as long as it Nvidea.I did save a lot of money just by checking ratings :)P.S. True only if you don't worry about other games.

That a simple incredible result! You did fantastic job!

They use modern super-wide displays.

It looks for me that a lot of questions are generated by changes in scenery so I wonder if RC5 will be checking if scenery DB has changed since last run and will sugest to rebuild DB or simple do this if change was detected.Implementation should be really easy.

This is not always true. It is very easy to call correct code and cause it to crash, just because it expects correct data, but gets incorrect. Offen this is result stability/performance tradeoff.Also, don't get me wrong - dump is not silver bullet or magic wand, but what I'm trying to say that it is really powerfull tool for investigation of issues. In many cases it can provide you immediate answer to questions like "is that our code called module which crashed the FSX?". In cases where you can't get this answer immediately but have number of dumps for same issue very likely you will find something common in stack, memory addresses, or in loaded modules list. It is like asking customer questions you don't even thought to ask which he can't answer anyway, but you still getting those answers.Also, I don't suggest you to dig too much into dumps, because learning details can be really complex, but rather do all quick things you can do, like getting all stack, heap, modules, and other information. All you need to know to start is how to run analyzing scripts in windbg.exe.

Ryan,Just a side comment: I've never seen PMDG asking people to share CTD dumps with you. Why wouldn't think about it? It is extremely powerfull tool in case you can't reach machine with a debugger. You will be able to see stack, heap, and other memory and process related things. You can also ask people to create dumps manually, in case issue is not causing CTD, this can be done by simple right click on the process in task manager, so it won't be hard for the customers.The only question is how to share dumps, because usually those are really huge (equal to process size in memory), so even zipping those will produce ernomously sized files.

Sure, count on me for Russian (accent and translation). I've just sent you PM with my mail.Note: the earlier I'll get English scripts the better quality translation will be, because phraseology has a lot of specifics I will need to dig into.

I guess that to reduce load on JD and his team 2 and 3 might be done via community. Most question is about translation (2) and recording (2 and 3). My idea is mostly about providing way for community to add this in some standard (from RC point of view) way.

Actually controllers communicate in non-English if pilot starts from non-English. Have heard this many times listening to Russian ATCs, and a few times for French ATCs. I don't think international standard prohibits this behaviour.

Hi JD,I wonder if you did think about adding a few international features to RC5?I have couple of those in mind:1. Support for metric spaces. Some countries still use meters instead of imperial measurments.2. ATC talks to you in your native language in case you have choosed this.2.a. As a some sub-feature it might be great to have lists of airlines and their preferred languages, so ATC will be talking to AI in a way which is more natural.I understand that recording those things might require too much efforts, so it will be absolutly fine for me if I will be required to record audio before I can hear it, or find some community-contributed files/configs.Also, TTS should be also able to speak in other languages. It was about 6-7 years ago when I had been playing with it.

I don't. Not sure to what extent it applies to other PMDG products, I have only JS41.

I don't have REX, but I did find that simple switching plane to any default and then switching back reproducing the problem.

Any chance that there will be setting in RC5 to use non-default sound card if available?

Take a look here http://www.psfk.com/2010/02/kulula-airplane-rebranding.html. I think it is really cool. I guess it will be a lot of fun having livery like this.

Just wondering: have you ever been inside real JS41 cockpit on the parking in the cold weather conditions? Any ice or snow on side windows when aircraft is not moving and engines are not running?To explain: this is question, I'm not a real world pilot, but I'm from damn cold Russia and I know how much time I've spent in my life cleaning snow out of my car. Just from this experience I guess it would be realistic to show some snow on side windows, but remove it after relevant engine is started and have been running for a 15-30 seconds. Again, this is just guess.

With regards to PDFs people raised very good point about potential stability issues from 3rd party software. I guess it might be good idea to implement it as separate process which will be converting PDFs into image files which are much easier to handle. Then even if this process crash or hung it won't affect FSX.

I would like to have trial version of NGX. J41 hasn't meet my expectations fully, so I would prefer to try NGX before making final decision about spending money.

It is hard to pick exactly top 5, but I have sorted those in order of priority (actually I've selected only 6).TransaeroUTairNordaviaSky ExpressRossiyaTatarstanWhat I suggest as a more structured approach is to take list of flights from any traffic addon like TrafficX and sort flights for each country/state in order of number of flights decreasing. In this case you won't miss anything that might be important even for small countries and it will be in agreement with traffic addons that people might be using, so overall experience might be even better than by implementing only airlines suggested by users.

Just to update on the fix: I've made reset of FSX controls and issue is gone. Still odd that it has been affecting only JS41, but as minimum it is fixed.

Doesn't work too. Pete Dowson thinks this maybe caused by double axis assignment in FSUIPC, but it looks it is repro even with empty FSUIPC.INI (after very first assignment).

Glad to know that issue is fixed. Actually this might be explained: BSOD usually doesn't happen by itself, some application need to make function call that ends somewhere in video driver or GPU, where might be bug. So, changing repaint probably avoids some of conditions in which bugs appears or combines it with other trigger (like calling same functions in different order) which doesn't end in a buggy code.

Jim and Nick, thanks a lot for your suggestions.I've checked your ideas, but unfortunately they don't work. YD doesn't affect this at all if it is on or off, I've double checked that FSX controls are not in use when I have steering assigned in FSUIPC, also I checked that I have only one assignment in FSUIPC for this axis. I also have checked that there is no anomaly in numbers in FSUIPC window.So, thanks again, but I'm looking for other suggestions. BTW, will try posting to FSUIPC forum as well.
