  1. MSFS is a beautiful piece of software for arcade players. If you just want to get into a plane quick and un-educated and go sight seeing, you will really enjoy this sim and its very realistic world and weather experience. For serious pilots, who want to master instrument flying, realistic plane- and landing-management - the fun indicater points truly lower. Standard airplanes found in the MSFS are instrument buggy or are missing instrument features, and the build-in flight planner is very premature, since it doesn't show any useful visual flight map to help chart way points, Sids, Stars and Approaches! That means, you must use an external flight planning sofware to graphically show and support your flight plan intensions. At the moment there is no commercial flight planning software on the market capable of creating *.PLN files containing approach procedures, that MSFS can import to its internal flight plan. Especially this unability of MSFS to save or load approach procedures into a *.PLN file is very disturbing, since approach procedures contain the arrival runway information, which is so important to a flight plan. Trying to edit the missing approach in the simulator later by hand changes the whole flight plan - ruining all the flight planing work! I truly hope that Asobo fixes their flawed *.PLN file format to make MSFS great again...LOL 😇
  2. OK...that was the easy solution. Why doesn't PMDG mention the need to un- then reinstall the program in their Update-ReadMe? ...it would surely save a lot of unneeded fuss and time. :mad: THX... Sandpatch
  3. What does this have to do with the Problem? You are not supposed to uninstall the new SP-1d patch. Wasn't it supposed to run as a repair? The Operations Center doesn't say anything when the patch is installed. And when you activate the OC, it doesn't proclaim that you have a right or wrong version of anything?! Are you saying, you re-started the SP-1d patch and uninstalled and then re-installed 737 NGX (all the NGX packages??). Or did you mean the liveries? I also un-installed the liveries and downloaded automatically the whole list. There was no Poseidon livery in the list of liveries! Can someone please explain precisely what to do to get the P-8A Poseidon livery for the FSX 737-NGX?
  4. I have the same problem! I don't have the Poseidon livery automatically installed and I can't install the .ptp to my FSX platform because the Installation declares that it is only for the P3D Version.
  5. I have the 737 NGX (with SP-1D) and downloaded the Poseidon P-8A livery over AVSIM. Trying to install it via PMDG Livery Manager causes an Error message: "unknown Variant" to appear. How is this to be resolved? :unsure:
  6. Cold starting the 737 NGX aircraft leads to Pilot's & First Pilot's DUs (EFIS) with missing display information. The FD Shows no Background Color (blue/brown) and no attitude scaling. The NDs Show no map. Does anyone know what is going on? Robert
  7. Hi folks I have a problem that has occured suddenly. For some unknown reason I cannot set the altitude on the Autopilot Panel. The VS adjustment seems to work with the up/down Buttons (but show odd numbers instead of even increments?). Neither the up/down nor the set nob function for altitude setting. Can anyone help?
  8. HURRAY! It works. I am really flabbergasted. I can't believe it. That was excellent intuition Zoran. Thank you so much! :rolleyes: You really saved my Christmas ^_^ I wish you sincerely a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year Robert
  9. Hi again Zoran Got your file, but I don't know where to put it?? I have no folder named: "PMDG_BAe4100_FSX" in FSX and of course no "Gauges" sub folder. There is a "Gauges" Folder in the FSX-Folder. The contents there are only *.cab files though (no *.dll"s)?! There is a "PMDG" folder within the FSX folder with a sub folder called: "DLLS". Should I put it there? @ T-Berg Spam folder is clean. DARK & COLD...absolutely no response from PMDG yet...not even a simple acknowledgement that they received my 2 support tickets :unsure: Even here...on their customer support pages...no response. This is new to me! :unsure:
  10. Hi T-Berg Thanks for your reply! I have tried different ways to load it. The latest try was from the cockpit of a simple plane in cold & dark modus. Finally, I renamed the FSX.cfg. That loaded the plane, but then I had no 2D or 3D cockpit views on any of my planes any more (only an outside view)! Why does this plane need a special setting to get started? The new 777 starts in any condition without any fuss! Reading all the past posts here, the JS4100 installation seems to have caused a lot of problems in the past. Why doesn't PMDG patch it to make it work like their other products (or take it off the sales shelf)? And after 4 years of troubleshooting, they must surely know the weak spots, because their other products don't seem to have this mishap. Especially, why doesn't a representative of PMDG move in and tell me how to get my installation fixed and keep me a happy customer, instead of not responding?! What now? Do you have any suggestions? Robert
  11. Hi everybody I just bought the JS4100 and the neu 777. The Boeing runs fine with no problems. The JS4100 installed and was activated - but It just doesn't load. My FSX crashes every time. I have no major problems with any other of my many FSX products and add-ons - so my settings seem to be fine. And PMDG was always a good buy. I posted two support tickets regarding this problem. But to my amazement, I am not getting any response?! Can anyone help? If I still get no ticket or forum response, is there any other way to get in touch with PMDG ? :unsure: thx Robert Simms
  12. Hey guys I just purchased and installed the J4100. Upon loading I was asked to register, which I did. I got a success message and then FSX crashed. Now every time I try to load a J41 plane my FSX CTDs. What's happening? Robert
  13. Can someone tell me where I can set the target altitude and slope for the AP? thx Robert
  14. I found the culprit!It was in the Terrain.cfg with a corrupt entry line (missing a separating Return) - causing a FlattenMode=flat not to work correctly.That saved me weeks of new installation time ;-))
  15. hi everybody.I am in a very desolate situation. For no known reason all airports on my FSX scenery are not flat anymore and now have mesh breakthrough with trees and houses on them!I have installed FSGenesis mesh 3 years ago and never had any problems. No other mesh. I deactivated all my addon sceneries - still uneven airports.It is as if something is calculating lower airport elevations around the world or the flattening of airports doesn't work anymore.Does anyone have an idea what has happened and how I can find the problem?Reinstalling hundreds of sceneries and programs would be a disaster for me.I would be very thankful for help!Robert Picture of FSX default <Vancouver Int.> Canada showing mesh breakthrough. (Autogen slider = 0)The same situation worldwide.
