Bryan, I posted about this same problem earlier in the forum. I have yet to get the FO to start APU properly and I have to start it myself. I tried disabling ezdok to make sure it started in 2d mode and that didn't help either. Any suggestions to try would be great.

Well. I start cold and dark and the first two times he didn't start it. I'll try again

Does the first officer start it. Or does the pilot flying. I'm talking about during preflight. FO is not starting it.

Okay, that might be the problem. I'll enable wind smoothing on fsuipc. Thanks for all the help as usual.

Yes I am using that mode

I fly the 737ngx with ASE at a cost index of 80. Was curious as to why my flight times don't match up on flightaware. For example, the other day I flew from KDTW to KTPA using the exact weather at the time of the flight. The real flight arrived 20 minutes early. I arrived 20 minutes late. Probably just has to do with winds aloft

Thanks Jim for your help as always

No pretty much just installed it. But I would like to keep it on separate drive. Don't install into program files is what you're saying?

What's your suggestion? Reinstall Fsx into a different folder?

I've installed simconnect properly and load up evolution and get the database error. I see where access is denied in the log below, but I have everything shared properly with the home group, both read and write.
