Just to let you know guys that 777X is the official Boeing real world reference to there "next gen" 777 (and they don't mean FSX... :rolleyes: ) with planned service entry date on 2019. Go here for further reading: http://www.aviationweek.com/Article.aspx?id=/article-xml/awx_03_11_2013_p0-557402.xml BK2

CS-777: Please learn from other's mistakes... Hold your breath and wait. BK

+1. Don't touch it.

Thank you gentelmen (and lady) for the responses. I believe I will start from the scenery investigation first as it simply looks logical to me and see what happens. I plan to leave the UIAUTOMATIONCORE.dll in place (I replaced it with a newer version I found) and see what happens. I certainly liked the analogy to the guy with the pacemaker... Indeed FSX needs taking care off or it "dies" on you... :rolleyes:. This weekend I will be flying to LFPG for real (no, I am not the pilot...) so my work on that will wait for a couple of weeks.

maybe I was not clear enough: It's not the Wilco 737 which caused all this trouble. In fact the Wilco addon shows the same impact of the new addon installation. Thanks BennyK

It's been a while since the NGX was installed in my system. All was nice and dandy and FSX worked fine (with the help of FSPS extreme FSX PC) for a long period of time. No hiccups really. Recently I made a purchase of a new A/C addon (I will avoid identifying it…since I am really ###### about this recent purchase and consider it an "out of the window" money) and installed it on the machine. It gave me several crashes of FSX clearly tied to that addon. As a result I am experiencing today problems with the NGX which are as follows: The PMDG menu disappeared. In fact only the "about" line exists. The 744X menu items completely disappeared PMDG sound menu item disappeared [*]I get blank displays in the NGX [*]Loading the NGX – hangs FSX. The panel initialization process does not even start and displays remain blank. [*]It looks like everything is fine with FSX but when I close FSX it turns out that it is hanged up. [*]Uninstalled and re-installed the NGX but to no results. The same problem persists. [*]Default A/C seems fine [*]WILCO 737 displays are also blank. I will appreciate if anybody can comment on that before I am diving into the adventure of uninstalling FSX altogether and re-installing my "thousand" addons. Thanks BennyK My system: CPU Quad Core Q8400, 4G RAM, Display GTX480, a lots of hard disk…

Just purchased it taking advantage of the 25% discount. Did not start using it yet but everything looks very professionally done. Don't think anybody can be disapointed...Benny K

Yesterday, after posting this message above, I managed to see the lights. Hm.... That is interesting.Indeed during night, not dawn or dusk which I am yet to check. I do not fly a lot during night time so maybe I missed something or the time was sort of dawn or dusk. One of the reasons I do not fly a lot during night time is the "pitch dark", absolutely black, environment i see on my screen. Is that soemthing we can change using the screen or color setup? And how? I have a Nvidia GTX260 graphic board.TxBenny K

I have the same problem. No lights on the runway, not from the cockpit nor from outside view. Have no idea what's the problem.TxBenny K

Well, the problem is in the title. All callouts are ON in the PMDG setup but I hear none, what so ever. Also no click sounds of the panel. The device is "REALTEK HD AUDIO Manager". I can hear the engine sounds, allright (Magnificent...) in either the speakers or headphones (using headphones for TrackIR...). Any help, hint, will be appreciated. Thanks Benny K

So, I am a bit confused... Both checked or both unchecked?TxBenny K

I have the Saitek Flightsim Pro system (Without the pedals) and I am quite pleased with its performance. However, I can report that the left shift indeed exist on my system also. I cannot post a screenshot at the moment but if you go to the Saitek SW menu -> Control Panel and open it, you may see that the Ailron axis is shifted a bit to the left. This is not "calibrate-able" per Saitek Customer service response. Customer service has suggested that I go back to the vendor and have it replaced. From this post one may conclude that its not a matter of my specific yoke but rather more general issue. To this I would add that the fact that the yoke has no calibration option is at least odd. Or perhaps I miss something?Benny K

All in all - amazing! the sound is incredible. A couple of observations that I wish to make following few test flights:1. MCDU freeze which forced me to shut FSX and restart. While freeze I was still able to switch between pages but hitting characters did not propduce any outcome on the scratchpad. This maybe similar to other freeze described in other posts.2. Autoland question: I made an autoland which actually was performed pretty well. However, while replaying from an external view I realized that the airplane pitch was very flat, very close to 0 degree's pitch and the forward landing wheel touching the runway in fact at the same instance that the main gear touch down occured. Ref speed was indicated as 141 (INIT page) while I was using 144 due to wind. This seems a bit odd and I think should be looked at. ThanksBenny K

Nothing helps. No real engine sound.Benny K

Markus,Yes, Sound sliders were in default position as recommended by PMDG (50%) all.I need to check on the other point you mention and we'll see.ThanksBenny K
