Sorry, meant to say that FPR previously read the Nav data file as a .mdb file but now looks for a .db3 file. Just tried Simbrief and it works great, thanks.

I use PFPX for planning but it is not possible to export plans for use with the Q-400. I have used http://up2sky.dyndns.org/FPRConverter/index.php previously as this exports the plans to a .mdb format that was used with the Q-400 in P3D v3 Unfortunately, the Q-400 in P3Dv4 uses a .db3 format now and this FPRconverter will not export to that type of format. I hope the FPR developer will update his program soon!!

Launch command prompt as administrator. Type after C:\WINDOWS\system32>Date 08/10/2017 then enter You will see the date change instantly on the task bar launch CP Re-type actual date in command prompt and enter launch P3D

1. Reset system time or date to an earlier time point using Command Prompt. 2. Start CP 3. Reset system time/date to actual 4. Launch P3D Works a treat..!

I have the exact same problem. The txt file opened with the first few 747 updates, the 777-200 and the 737NGX updates. I will download the full installer for the 747 again to see if this clears the issue going forward. Regards Gary Hanson

Hi, I am also experiencing the same issue in P3Dv4. I am going to switch non experimental mode and re-test. Regards Gary

Cheers Kyle, I have not experienced the GPS fault since ;)) Regards Gary Hanson

Hi Kyle, You were spot on with your bet, many thanks I have just followed the FCOM SP.6.1 procedure for powering up the electrical system from a cold and dark state then continued onto NP.21.1 for the pre-flight procedures and I didn't get the GPS Left fault. I am not sure if I have previously tried to align the IRS system (left to Nav, right to Nav, centre to Nav) before setting the standby power to auto?? I also started up the APU before turning on the IRS system to Nav but I don't think that would have a bearing on generating the fault if APU is left off until after alignment (correct me if I'm wrong)?. Cheers Gary Hanson

Update; I do not get the GPS Left fault when loading the Long Load panel state from the FMC, if I load the cold and dark state I have the fault every time. I will try the installer repair option first. Regards Gary Hanson

Hi guy's, Many thanks for your inputs. The GPS Left fault is a steady fault. Whenever I load the aircraft and select via the FMC the cold and dark panel load state I have the issue. I am not using a saved scenario on any of the flights. I will try a Long Load panel state to see if anything changes, failing that I will do a reinstall. Will keep you posted Thanks & Regards Gary Hanson

I keep getting this error message on every flight, no failures or maintenance service are programmed either. Anyone got an ideas how to clear it? Regards Gary

Hi Rob, Following your testing method I have the following results: - PMDG 737NGX, EGCC (UK2000, stand 26). OP=1 FPS=34 (locked at 36), VS= 3,330.200K OP=0 FPS=35 (locked at 36), VS= 3,291.596K Would you class this as a good improvement to keep OP=0 bearing in mind I use PMDG aircraft? Regards Gary

Hi Dan,Yeap, ran the reg cleaner after the uninstall, I'm on XP so OK with locations.The fault lay with all the .dll files in my modules folder not having been updated to v9.1, to overcome this I had to back-up my FS9 and then reinstall FS9 and run the FS9.1 update.Now I have to bring back in my addons :( Thanks for all your advice and support, its very much appreciated :( Ps. the PMDG747-400 flies great and was worth the trouble I went through.Pps. Bryan, just FYI, I don't use the no-CD option.Regards & happy flying !!!Gary

Dear All,The fault lay with all the .dll files in my modules folder not having been updated to v9.1, to overcome this I had to back-up my FS9 and then reinstall FS9 and run the FS9.1 update.Now I have to bring back in my addons :( Ps. the PMDG747-400 flies great and was worth the trouble I went through.RegardsGary

Hi Dan,FS9 is in the default folder (why do you say preferably not)?I have un-installed the patch and re-run several times both within and outside the FS9 folder with no joy.I have now backed up my entire FS9 folder to a remote HD, un-installed FS9 completely and in the process of re-installing!!Ps. I also ran the eusing registery cleaner before biting the bullet to un-install FS9.I will let you all know how I get on :( CheersGary

Hi Dan,Thanks for the info, I want to avoid a reinstall if possible, I have a lot of addons and downloaded files off avsim/flightsim. :( I have been doing some digging and found that in the properties of my FS9.exe file it states that the version is still v9.0. Anyone got any ideas how to overcome this, I think this is the root cause?RegardsGary

Hi Dan,Thanks for the info, I have searched through the pmdg forum but no luck. I have emailed pmdg support, here's hoping they can help out!Ps. anyone else with any ideas please shout out.Thanks again Dan,RegardsGary

Hi Dan,No, I use the CD for launching and have used the the registry repair tool also. Still no luck.appreciate any other ideas you may have?Thanks & regardsGary
