I'm one of the few who has been getting extremely frustrated that this aircraft will not activate, regardless of what I did with reinstalling the aircraft, FSX, etc.So some deeper searching turned up a heap of Side by Side errors in the Event Viewer due to an issue with SimConnect.---=================Begin Activation Context Generation.Input Parameter: Flags = 0 ProcessorArchitecture = Wow32 CultureFallBacks = en-US;en ManifestPath = J:fsxGAUGESPMDG_737NGX.DLL AssemblyDirectory = J:fsxGAUGES Application Config File =-----------------INFO: Parsing Manifest File J:fsxGAUGESPMDG_737NGX.DLL.

Ok, I fixed this by reinstalling Simconnect.msi from C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator X SDKSDKCore Utilities KitSimConnect SDK. Ran FSX afterwards, and the first thing I see is the Activation Window.
