Okay. I've had a chance to finally get down to this. I uninstalled Comodo and installed ZoneAlarm. GNS loads correctly.. ZoneAlarm asks and everything works, I did not have to do anything special, in advanced mode. Also uninstalled both Reality XP and f1 versions. Uninstalled the trainers.. reinstalled just the new Trainer, as well as the GNS sims. Seems to be working great so far. I wonder what Comodo blocks even when 'off'. Strange cause I had it all disabled, even exited it .. etc.. still wouldn't let the Trainer function correctly. I wonder what the beef is with it. Thanks for everyones assistance.

I'll try to disable and/or uninstall the firewall and attempt again.

Got around to checking this out.. updated my trainer to the currently downloaded one.. DLL issues loading the trainer as usual. Updated the GTN reality-xp software for x-plane, ended up with a blank screen.. nothing at all for the GTN 750, either intergrated into an aircraft or loaded on its own. Removed the new trainer and used the original 6.x version. Garmin loads just fine. So still doesn't work for me.. and even if it did .. it would break the f1 version for my fsx/p3dv4. Unless there is some other troubleshooting for blank screen.. there's no toast here. The older trainer can still be used as a fallback at the very least, thankfully. Thanks for all the effort.

Okay.. I'll try it out. :) Thanks for all your work and I hope it works okay.

I have not messed with Xplane since the new update for it.. was waiting for the fire to die down a bit. Its good that you guys are working on it on your end.. however shouldn't this problem be solved with the trainer itself. Using both the reality-xp and the f1 at the same time is going to be quite a hasstle.. if you guys fix it on your end but f1 doesn't I wonder why garmin has left this error for so long.

Yes.. and this is happening with the newer version of F1 version as well. Only with the newer trainer.. the 6.2x I've installed seems to work .. Sorry for the long response time. This most certainly is a trainer issue..

Are the Vertical Reality Simulations update servers working for anyone else? Thanks in advance.

I've read through this entire thread. This same issue is happening to me with windows 7. Not entirely sure it is specific to windows 10.

Evening, Just tonight, I downloaded the updates to all my owned PMDG craft. All the installations went quite well, bar one. The 737NGX expansion pack upon running the installation does not give me the option to select which version of FSX to install to like the other installations did. The area where the other craft installations displayed the selection boxes are blank. It then errors out saying it cannot find the steam edition? The 800 installed correctly.. the 777 installed correctly.. this one on the other hand. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Adam Blanchette

I could be wrong.. but what I got out of the press release.. is that they will distribute FSX on steam.. its the flight engine that they will be toying with.. I'm sure.

Just wow. Dovetail games has slowly destroyed, in my opinion, the train sim franchise. Each version that was forced upon people via STEAM has been more buggier than the last. They turned a decent train simulation into a ad infested DLC gateway. This does not bode well for the franchise... DTG games support is absolutely terrible. They go to great lengths to hush people who speak out about the product and its extreme years old bugs. Anyone looking forward to bugfixes in the flight/FSX engines are deluding themselves. DTG mainly consists of suits from EA and graphics artists. They do not know how to fix train simulator, they certainly are not going to be able to fix Flight/FSX. They see it as a DLC gateway... nothing more. Out of all the passionate flight sim companies... this could not have gone into more wrong hands.

Knowing their current pricing model.. Imagine how much the tackle box/fish species will cost when they get done bleeding people ...

Reality XP uses the garmin trainer, and is basically a exact rendition of the GNS. Yes the database is very old, however one nice feature I like about is labels. You can see road, lake, river, mountain names among many others. The Simflyer version is a souped up FSX version, so it uses the built in fsx airport database, like the FSX version does. So its limited to the approaches, navaids, etc... that are added to FSX. Not sure you can add approaches to fsx database. I still love my Reality-XP version for it doing just about what the real thing does .. minus actually grabbing the sattelites. The database is old, I know, though there is a way to uipdate the database a few years newer grabbing the datafile from a newer GNS trainer... So if you update the afcad, the Simflyer version does reflect runway changes etc.. however, again, its limited to fsx data. With the Reality XP version, you get a very faithful reproduction, as it runs off the real trainer software. Though both databases are limited quite a bit.

SweetFX and Shade work quite well together.

I was having this problem with I had Accufeel enabled.. perhaps you have that? I disabled AIR effects. Also I had this issue when I used REX.. switched to ASN and have not seen it since.
