I didn't mention write XML files, I was talking about editing add-ons.cfg file, entering something like this: [Package.xx] PATH=D:\P3D Addon Scenery\Paulo Ricardo\Mega Rio de Janeiro X 2019 ACTIVE=true REQUIRED=false The .xml file must be previously generated (by the developer or by your software) and located into the path above.

There is absolutely no need to do this if your sceneries have been designed to work this way and if they are working properly. In case you really need to do it, it's not necessary to create .xml files. Just remove their entries from scenery.cfg and add them into add-ons.cfg (increasing each item number as we increase liveries numbers into aircraft.cfg). I'm assuming you know how to edit those files and of course you're supposed to backup them first. After that, use Addon Organizer by Lorby-SI to put in the corret priority order the new entries, moving them higher or lower into the library

my graphic card error ceased after updating to nvidia new driver released yesterday

I think it's a good move to p3d v5, as it will be easy to port most of add-ons and they will be almost all free upgradable. P3d v5 is much more smooth and provide more fps than v4.5, and v5 and will the plenty off add-ons in a few days/weeks, running smooth. In a few weeks nobody will be using default clouds, people will be able to change sky colors and everybody will be happly deleting the entire v4.5 stuff. And all of this with a small cost: just the new platform price. I sincerelly do not believe that MS202x will be released so soon and I'm sure that, after released, we will have to: (1) wait to much to be plenty off add-ons and (2) have to pay to upgrade almost all of our current pieces. Be sure that a entire new platform (like MS202x) is more susceptible to come with bugs and demand more hotfixes/updates/service packs than a new version of P3D. In a few weeks those who bought v5 will retire v4.5, as almost all stuff will be already ported and with little to zero cost, but the retirement of p3d vX will take place much more time after MS202x arrives. Don't expect MS202x + all your desired add-ons to arrive in this summer. I think in the next few weeks, many of you who says that is about to "wait for MS202x" will buy v5. I, personally, am not going to make any kind of plans related to MS202x release. I have in mind that is a full new platform, that hasn't be named MS2020 by it's developer (it's an alias running on the web), being developed by who already aborted another simulator during its evaluation process and that can be released any year from 2020 onwards.

Saitek Yoke with its serial Throttle Quadrant and additional Saitek USB Throttle Quadrant both stopped working. They appear with "!" yellow signal inside device management window and are not recognized by device controls in control panel. Unable to update/restore/reinstall the correct drivers, even via device management or via up-to-date saitek installers. I would appreciate any help. Best Regards, Marcelo Monteiro

Thank you very much.. First I tried to deal with an update installation (since either way was supposed to give the same results) but I had to reinstall from the beggining as you suggested to solve this issue Marcelo Monteiro

same here, after a clean installation.. Marcelo Monteiro

I updated my FSX 737 base + expansion products to this new version, but the WX RDR is not working... and the WXRDR panel on pedestal section remains fully unclickable.. mouse arrow does not turn into a "hand" when passing over WXRDR pedestal panel knobs and switches does anybody have any idea? Thanks Marcelo Monteiro

resuming my point of view, after compiling historical PMDG comments in this forum and paying attention to PMDG historical market way of thiking (except for punctual releases that, for specific reasons, was not foccused on high sales, like DC-6)... Too early to be developed, but to be expected in the future = 787-8, 787-9, 737-MAX Not to be expected, due to prognosis of poor sales = 707, 717, 727, 737 (classics and jurassics), 747 (classics), 747-8, 767-400, DC-10 (and older DCs), MD11v2, L-1011, F-100 Not to be expected, due to market focus = any Airbus, any Business Jet TO BE EXPECTED (in the order I think it would make business sense) = 1) 757-200, 767-300 (757-300 and 767-200 would be target to a possible later expansion that I think will not really come) 2) Embraer regional jets, ATR-72 3) Bombardier regional jets ("globally" I think Embraer regional jets would open a wide market to PMDG, but maybe PMDG thinks different) Regards, Marcelo Monteiro

hardware axis assigned, via FSUIPC, to tiller option does not move PMDG aircrafts rudders hardware axis assigned, via FSX menu or FSUIPC, to rudder will also move tiller due to FSX limitations

after years without CTDs on my sim, I'm getting CTDs when requesting ALTN WXR update; already reported via ticket system... Marcelo Monterio

first of all, you're not saving the file as a real .wx extension.. you're saving it as a .txt extension... you're saving as xxxxx.wx.TXT while on notepad, you have to "save as" and, while typing the archive name, you have to change the archive type to "all archives" then, on the aircraft, yYou have to type into scratchpad the same name of the file, without the extension part, before click on wind data request LSK key; for example: if you named your archive as KMEMOMDB01.wx, you have to type on FMC KMEMOMDB01 and then pull the wind data request LSK key Regards, Marcelo Monteiro

Here with the 737NGX I can press brake pedals and set parking braking while pressing them, as in the real life, without any problems related to immediate release of parking brake; I only release the brake pedals after confirming parking brakes on; by the way, I use a rudder/brake pedals hardware.. maybe this problem should be experienced by those who have to use keyboard to command manual brakes and parking brake Regards, Marcelo Monteiro

probably a departing traffic from Galeão International Airport, just taken off from runway 10 with right turn inbound to São Paulo terminal or inbound to Brazil south region...
