Thank you for that information. Just discovered an X-Camera addon so I think that's my EZ-DOK replacement covered as well.

I tried the demo and was impressed by the smoothness and night lighting with pretty much everything maxed out in the settings. What I can't seem to find though is if there is anyway of having multiple joystick profiles. I use a registered version of FSUIPC in FSX/P3D to give me that ability. As there anything that adds that in X-Plane be it 3rd party software etc?

I'm loving the look of this DC-6 and with other top notch aircraft now available for X-Plane I feel I am missing out. I have recently swapped over from FSX:SE to P3D v3.2 and that's been expensive but now I am beginning to think the space I can free up with finally deleting FSX could be used for X-Plane. Anyone have any pointers as to what I would need? As a long term user of FSX I rely heavily on addon scenery, weather engines and FSUPIC.

No problem. Thank you for the fix and the excellent immersion packages

Thats not Saitek software at all. Its a rather good replacement for Saitek software provided one knows a little about offsets and LVARs.

I see this has now been fixed in the 18th Feb update :smile:

I have just purchased the 777 immersion package and I have noticed that all the effects for the engines are reversed. If I throttle up the just left engine, the jet wash, vortex and condensation effects appear for the right engine (which is at idle). If I throttle up just the right engine then the left engine displays all the effects. I have PrecipitFX and the 737 immersion package also installed and I checked on the 737 and the effects on that aircraft appear correctly and not reversed.

Because you have it pointed in completely the wrong place. Mine is pointed at C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\Hifi\ASNFSX\Weather Change the (your user name) to what's correct for your Windows login. You should find under the Weather directory the current_wx_snapshot.txt file as well as a wx_station_list.txt file. PFPX needs to see both for it to work.

Actually you don't need to save the weather for it to work in PFPX. PFPX is only looking for the current_wx_snapshot.txt file from ASN (along with the static station list file) and the current snapshot updates on load of ASN.

PFPX does have a manual But for sake of argument click on the little WX box towards the bottom right of your PFPX window, between NAV and Tracks, now you should see options for online, save, Active Sky, REX etc. Of course make sure its pointing at the Active Sky WX file for it to work.

Just do the rudder checks while stationary, that way you are not zig zagging all over the place.

Could it be related to this? - Fixed fuel imbalance/disagree on second, third, etc flights without shutting FSX down. From the issues tracking thread. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/418750-pmdg-777-issue-tracking-thread-read-before-posting/

Maybe its related to this? - Fixed a CTD on load that results from errors in the runways.csv or ARPT_RWY.dat files. If you're getting a CTD upon selecting the airplane or pressing Fly Now, please try deleting these two files. runways.csv is in the root FSX folder, and ARPT_RWY.dat is in the FSX\PMDG\NAVDATA folder. runways.csv can be remade using Pete Dowson's MakeRunways.exe tool, found at his website.From the tracked issues thread. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/418750-pmdg-777-issue-tracking-thread-read-before-posting/

Indeed Ryan, its the same with many complex aircraft. Things have to be done outside of the FSX limitations to enable us as customers to enjoy aircraft that are as advanced and close to the real thing as possible, otherwise we would all still be flying the default Cessnas or jets ^_^ . The trade off being some hardware is incompatible or needs extra programming/workarounds to be usable. Thankfully with more third party drivers/software available these days at least some of those limitations can be over come. I for one am thankful to PMDG and others for making complex aircraft that dare to push the boundaries and can except some hardware incompatibilities in the process.

SPAD works with the NGX as a special mode was added after the NGX SDK became available. Now maybe more functionality via SPAD will be possible after a 777 SDK is released. However SPAD hasn't been updated since July of 2012 so I wouldn't count on an special 777 mode being added.
