For those of us who fly with Virtual Airlines (Live deltava.org) it would be nice to have the checklist remind me to start my flight via ACARS. lol. I can't tell you how often I get so deep into the aircraft and take off, forgetting to start ACARS. Dave

Ryan - I was looking at available options. The top left corner for log in escaped my eye's. My apologies. I see it now.

I just emailed the address you suggested. I am not sure how you were able to get an instant response unless it looked different from this... which is what I got. PMDG Simulations Customer, THIS IS AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE. Please read below: The email you sent with the subject "with the 737" could not be processed. The email address to which you emailed this issue does not accept email that does not correspond to an existing ticket. Please sign into your account at the PMDG Support Desk and submit the ticket directly, or be certain not to remove the original ticket number from the subject of the email before sending. PMDG Technical Support Desk I am not sure why it has to be so difficult to get some help from them. There is no "Support Desk" to submit a ticket that I can find. This is ridiculous. If they point you to THESE forums or help, someone ought to be able to help you here.

Thanks Doc. I cant edit it, so I have reported myself. lol

LOL... I am flying. Running the PMDG 777. Pricey airplane, but good. Wont misplace the download this time. All on an archive drive. I wish it would be policy that if you buy a new product, previous purchases would be made available. :( Thanks Stephen!

I have tried... every contact and link for support only leads to the forums. There is no contact for PMDG.

I had to re-install my FSX program on a new computer. My other was old and fried. I went to download my 737 from the site. My link has expired. I know this is unorthodox, but can I have access to my product? REMOVED - DO NOT POST PERSONAL ORDER INFORMATION PUBLICALLY Above is the details of my order. Thank you.

Hey Dave... I don't have any add ons for FSX beyond my PMDG 777. This truly is a brand new install. Windows 7 x64 (no desire to use 8 yet) 24gig of ram with an core i7 chip. It's a good machine. I have tried the DX10 selection and I still get the same issue. When changing to the PLN mode from either the pilot seat or the co-pilot seat, the game crashes. As for Steve's Scenery Fixer... I haven't heard of it. But, if I get scenery add on's I will take a look.

I too have switched to PLN mode and my FSX has Crashed. Win 7 x64 This happens on both pilot and co-pilot switch. Replicate it every time I try.

777 and Scan.... I have no doubt this is user error. I just dont know what I missed. I will work on getting a screen shot for a post. And the other questions... No, FSX is on the C:\FSX path. 777 Software install was done per instructions. No virus scan software running during install and even the FSX directory in the ignored state for active scans.

To type all of that and then hit post it with absolutely no resolution or suggestion makes no sense.

Yep. Got all of that. Route. SID and STAR. Weight and CG. Take off references. All of it. I competed the whole tutorial. I got nothing.

I was looking at the tutorial... each leg has the speed and altitude the the 777 will try to achieve at each given point. It's like the Level-D 767... I can see what altitude and speed I will be at for ascent and descent. However, I am not getting that information.

I have followed the tutorial to the letter and on the legs page, they do not show up. What am I doing wrong?

I have followed the instruction from Tutorial #1 on the 777 booklet. MY FMC is not showing the predicted altitude after I complete the section on page 0.00.42 on the legs screen. I have even finished out the entire FMC tutorial and they never appear. I took off, Autopilot and LNAV and VNAV engaged, but no predicted Altitude. Am I missing something? Dave

LINDA is fantastic. I am running FSX on Win 7x64 and I pretty much fly the Level-D 767. I have the Saitek Multi Panel, Swtich and Radio. A few problems I am unable to overcome while using LINDA.... 1. Without simultaneously running SPAD, the display numbers wont work. 2. How do I get the the Altitude to adjust when I turn to the altitude setting and then, say. switch to Vertical Speed and have the dial adjust vertical speed setting? It seems I am limited to having the rotate knob only change one of these settings. 3. Altitude, IAS, VS and Heading... what ever I choose, numbers will not display the corresponding number with the Level-D aircraft. Say my Aircraft Altitude is set through the Aircraft console (not the panel) to 24000... the saitek panel will not reflect the changes. These issues, while minor, would really add a better level of sim experience if they could be corrected. Any thoughts?

Very impressive. I am hopeful that the release will come soon.

Hamoody...That is why I was so stunned. Their response was so unbelievable, I had to share my experience and vent.Trust me... if this company thinks that threatening people is the way to win business... they will be sorely disappointed with the long term success of the company.

Hey Tom!The quote has been linked to Confucius, but never really proven. About all anyone can agree on is that it's a Chinese origination. I received another reply from Ariane... I don't think they even know what they are talking about. I already had my bank reverse the charges... the money is back in my account. Is has been from day 2 of this mess. I never had to really wait. I have been with my bank for a while and when I tell them the charge needs to be reversed... they do it. Rarely, is there ever a question.So, in the reply email, the person said they would now refund my money. I had to sit back in my chair and read it again. Since, I already have my money, what are they going to do? Send me more money? I have already sent a note to my bank asking my banker to periodically check the account and see if there is a deposit in the specified amount and if there is, to return it. It was as if everything I had gone back and forth with them over, they never even paid attention to. I couldn't believe it. I am changing your quote to:I will live to see the money of my enemies pour into my bank account. -then, I have instructions to my bank to return it. I am just amazed by all of this.

Wow Ryan... Thank you for the info. Such a great explanation. I have a question, at what point can I engage the SPD function? It's not appropriate to say "I am used to doing it on other FS craft this way" - but, that is my knowledge base. I am perfectly ok with getting out of my comfort zone. Please let me know! (Also, so there is no assumption... I am no pilot. FSX is a close as it gets for me.)Thanks!Dave

First... I don't know what Flight Sim company on planet earth thinks they have the clout to claim they can restrict travel because of a refund. I work in an industry that can be pretty rough and tumble. So if you are going to threaten someone who works in it, you might want to be prepared to follow through. Most people in my business don't back down to easy and certainly don't hide and and cower from threats. This company may have been able to push around other consumers, but I won't be one of them. Additionally, I have already stated that I can not say anything negative about the software. It may be fabulous. It may be the best designed and coded software on the market. I however, would not know. I never got it.

Hey all...I just received an AMAZING reply from Ariane about my complaints. The gave me a 'hypothetical' situation about how I would feel if the contacted all of my clients, stations, bank, etc. even calling the police. It's priceless. I replied to them, and am waiting a response. Stay tuned here. I may post the email in its entirety just for the sheer entertainment value.

I dont think that it actually right. Auto throttle shouldn't be dependent on the Autopilot.

Graham...Wow. Thanks for the link to the article. So the way they run customer service at Ariane is apparently the way he runs his life... A mess.

OK. I know that this shows a "close' speed... but after I took the shot, the plane kept on acceleration to 250. I was hoping the engines would spool back and the plane would slow. But, it didn't.
