Mine was stuck at 100% decompressing fs-base-soundbanks-0.1.54.fspatch. After about 30 mins of no progression, I restarted the sim, and the patcher is still working on that file without any obvious progression. 😞

I was hoping you could tell me? 😄

so im about 35%, and I see I can select between 3 different packages to upgrade (standard, premium and deluxe). The download speed is 0.0mb/s, and going up to 0.25mb/s from time to time. I cant really select the packages. I click one, and a white border is visible, and then goes away.

The reality is that PMDG is playing catch up to their competitors, and they are making big posts increasing the anticipation - and on the very delayed release it is very basic and not anything innovative at all. I'm sure it is a milestone for PMDG, but for the rest of us it is last years' news. I still need to use the FMC to operate the fuel, the doors, the chocks etc, and as it stands now the PMDG EFB doesn't really bring much new at all. I understand that they say it is coming. That's great, but as it stands now it doesn't deserve much attention, and certainly not 20 pages here.

I bought it directly from PMDG as well.

Am I the only one who cant get the pmdg operation center to work? It just says it failed to connect. Running the op center updater from PMDG doesn't fix it.

Alright. Thanks, Sidfac.

I've been away for a while, and haven't stayed up to date with recent news. Has there been any news at all about the dash 8 for msfs by Majestic? Alternatively, are the any other dash 8's available? Thanks! 🙂

I'm sorry, but how come we are almost a year after "launch" of the experimental version of the replay tool, and it is still this awkward to use? Why can't they steal the ideas from ie. xplane that just simply works? It's too convoluted for me to use right now, and the "added features" (like how you cant change views unless you check the box) doesn't make any sense. Sorry to be grumpy about this, but this feature obviously isn't getting enough quality dev attention, and hasn't been getting it for a year.

Ah, sorry I haven't kept up with the news. In what way doesn't it work very well with 3p addons? Edit: from reading above I guess it is mostly to do with 3p airports?

Ok, so normally GSX would be a product I would be picking up on launch day, but this time I've been sitting on the fence. I've heard that the launch was a bit rocky, and mainly that GSX caused CTD. Are there currently any known issues with GSX that a potential buyer should be aware?

I also noticed this release, and I'm interested to hear what others have to say about it before I consider making a purchase 🙂

Ah, I remember back in the day of the dino... I mean my youth, when I didn't have navigraph and everything related to charts and navigation data was a big hassle. Yes, there are free charts out there, but they can be a big pain to navigate to. For example, AIP Norway is a big mess, and you need to be an archivist to understand the logic behind it. Navigraph is simply put the only one of its kind to have the complete package with seemless integration with multiple addons and, last but not least, Simbrief.

I forgot about Aerosoft's navdata package. I'm not very fond of that company, and try to avoid it as much as possible. I don't have any experience with that product. How does it work? Can you, as someone implied here, buy the nav charts from Aerosoft and keep them forever without a sub?

Current standards are based upon current market conditions. There isn't any real competition for Navigraph. The moment that changes, the rules change.
