Its not about how you set it up! I dont agree.I purchased NGX and ran it on Vista 32 bit with very few problems except the occasional out of memory when using ORBX or the like.I decided to upgrade being a fanatic to Windows 7 64 bit wanting the system to utilize the extra RAM. Thats when the nonsense started and it would CTD every time. I tried for 7 days to get it to work after reinstaling FSX and NGX no less than 10 times. I used different hard drives,deleted DLLS etc etc following everybodies great advice. Everything I tried did not work. All the other PMDG products ran fine except NGX. This means that NGX is very particular and fussy and it cant just be a set up issue but something more intricate. The 7th day I decided after much frustration to give up after nights of trying until the early hours, something happened. I had formated my hard drives,even reinstalled Windows 7 to no avail .I decided to load a shooter game to kill people out of pure frustration as I wanted to fly what I had already tasted.I loaded DEUS EX which uses STEAM CLIENT to activate it and store on a type of cloud system. I loaded steam and activated the shooter but decided to try NGX as a last ditch effort when it started WORKING!Why? was it because of the steam activation or download ? I dont know ,but it worked straight after that. So its not a simple answer but some little intricate setting which will get the NGX to work in some cases.I believe you must scan the forums as there are great people out there willing to assist in every way. I also sent a ticket and Ryan and PMDG sent a link for you to interact with them on a live basis to help you. So I believe in the team at PMDG that they want this product to be the best add on ever to grace the sim community, and its almost there.They do stand by their product and if a person asks for assistance it comes thick and fast as there are many PC boffins out there. It runs like a dream 99% of the time with the odd freeze, but very minimaly for me. I dont experience any OOM,s with 64 bit and no CTD'S. My framerates average over 45 under heavy pressure and all sliders are max.If you persist with assistance it will work!

If one activates the service based section on one livery or model ,will it apply to all? Or will one have to activate it per livery and or model?

Have you ever compared the level of detail in every aspect of the NGX to the 747,J41 and MD11? The amount of work that has gone into the NGX is phenomenal. If the next project is the 777, I wonder how much better it could really be?

How does one tell the FMC to activate the selected alternate airport? Whilst trying to simulate this the FMC would not choose the alternate,I had to input into the arrivals overwriting the original destination. Surely there is an easier way to activate the alternate (ALTN)?

Will give it a try ,thanks

After touch down on roll out I disengage the autobrake,however the aircraft still comes to a complete halt even though I disconnect it . Should it not disengage once I switch it off and or after I touch the brakes?The reversers are stowed at the point of disconnection yet the aircraft still comes to a complete halt.Im sure I am doing somethin wrong?

Have a look at my thread on windows 7 64 bit ctd and all the suggestions. it eventualy started working after 4 days of instal ,reinstal of about 10 times. it started working when i loaded a shooter DEUS EX after much frustration and down loading steam client. Wierd but it worked after that.

Need to try this now on the ground at EGLL or KJFK with full traffic ground and Airline.

All ultra high,fair weather.

Just a note The system is overclocked.i7 2600k running at 4.5ghz and the GTX480 soc is also running at 850 MHZ and Memory at 2125 MHZ.CPU temp a bit high for my liking but the HAFX case has a lot of cooling. She has been running stable.I must also say that I had a lot of stuttering with the previous Vista 32bit system but the fresh install of all on WIN7 64bit is very smooth.

I hope you can open and enlarge . Frame rate displays in pink top left. I use Riva to display framerates.

HA ha ha, I know all about it.Im going to try again.

Ha ha ha, If you tell me how and I'll upload..or mail to you

I have attempted to upload a screen shotThis is the first try.did not work! 100FPS

trying to figure out how upload a screenprint to show you..

No ,i dont know how.she is running like clockwork(breitling I might add)80fps at FACT

Ok just did it. What does that do? My frame rates have shot up drasticaly?

Just rebooted. it works!!!

Vaughan you are way ahead of me, I dont know how or where to do those ... Please dont say that ha ha Ive run FSX again now for the 4th time and its working. I have not rebooted though,bit scared too.

No I did nothing.

I started loading DEUS EX as i had to vent my frustration out and it loads STEAM. I down loaded steam whilst checking this forum for updates. Steam battled due to some kernel error but I eventualy got it to work. I saw your post about the event veiwer and cancelled the shooter game. On event veiwer it was alot on the kernel issue and was busy trying to find the FSX events when i thought let me fly FSX NGX again to create a new event to show you and guess what..... ITS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe it. I exited and tried again and it works!!! Go the Springboks!!Time for celebration NGX flies again!!!!!!!!!!!

No go!! I don't know anymore !

Ha ha as far as MD11 now

I've just reinstalled , seems fine, ensured there were no FSX files left over as well as any PMDG, now reloading FSX as per forums suggestions of install run ,reboot ,install acceleration ,run,reboot etc, then MD11 run then NGX

Had enough, even going to reinstall Windows 7!
