I loved this game.

Ray, I got it working! Dumb me - I turned my computer off and back on, then it ran makerways perfectly. I guess it rebuilt all of those files. Thanks for replying so quickly. Gotta go fly!

I've looked at some of the other threads involving the "Bad Data" message, using makerways.exe, and reinstalling FSUIPC. I haven't found anything yet to help me, but I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. RC4 was working great with my Airbus X, then I decided to use it with my PMDG 737NGX. I also recently installed MCE, and when I ran MCE for the first time with the 737, it made me keep restarting until I finally got it to work. So its now working, then I put my flight plan from PFPX into RC, just like always. First I get the message "IPC Bad Data." Researching that message, I reloaded FSUIPC.DLL and FSUIPC.INI (I have the latest version). Then I try to run makeways.exe. The program tells me that it can't find anything - none of the rcv4 files it is looking for. I have no idea what happened. I have administrative rights. I would appreciate any input, as I don't won't to give up RC4 - it is a great ATC program. Sorry - running Windows 7 and FSX

Someone may have already posted something similar, but if not, I want to thank all of you veterans for your service to our nation. Our flag flies because of you!!! This is your day - enjoy it.

http://www.vanityfair.com/business/2014/10/air-france-flight-447-crash Titled "The Human Factor," this is a long article about the crash of Air France 447. It discusses what happened in the cockpit, along with the history of Cockpit Resource Management. I thought it might stimulate some discussion. I apologize if the article has already been posted somewhere in the forum.

Not a riddle. Just a very weird series of events. I've had hard landings before( never this hard), but the skewing to the right (you could hear an audible gasp because many thought we were going into the grass) followed by a strong application of the brake which pulled us to the other side and no application of reverse engines until were almost stopped on the runway - I wonder if we blew some tires. Also, it is standard policy for Delta to open the flight deck doors, but they remained closed, at least when I was deboarding. "Typical Delta landing." That was funny.

Was landing a few minutes ago at KATL on a DAL 737-900. Conditions were normal, no crosswind, dry runway. The plane hit hard, really hard. It was the hardest landing I have ever experienced. The engines did not reverse immediately, but we felt hard braking. Plane began to skew to the right. Felt a hard brake to to the left side of the plane. Finally, as the plane was beginning to slow, the engines reversed, but very briefly. It was six in the morning, and everybody woke up. Flight attendant begins the usual post-landing announcement, but she was breathing hard. It sounded like she was shaken up. Any guess as to what happened?

I was flying from DFW to ORD. I had set up the fight plan on PFPX, which gave me the route plus RWY 28R. I requested the route on the FMC. When the route loaded, I received a message saying Rwy 04L/04R was not available. From that point on I could not load in any arrival information for KORD. There were no STARS and no Runways. I flew the flight expecting Radar Contact to give me the vectors to RWY 28R, which it did, but I could not Unpark the ILS frequency for 28R. The FMC said it was INVALID DATA. Any thoughts?

I can tell that you've seen me fly.

Nice to have it in the summer when I've got more free time. Thanks PMDG - you are the best!

This is great news. I have ASN, and it has delivered outstanding performance. Fighting through spring storms is going to be even more fun. I am counting the days to SP1.

Tried to buy it on the company website. It gave me my order #, but it never charged my card or responded in any way to my inquiries. Too bad because it looked like a great program.

Topcat performs fuel calculations for your route. PFPX was never meant to take the place of Topcat. It works in conjunction with it. But right now Topcat has not been updated to do the calculations for the 777. Have you never calculated fuel with Topcat? It's one of the software's primary functions.

Unfortunately, ActiveSky cannot give you runway info-just weather.

Does anyone if or when Topcat will adding T7?

I have to agree with much that has been said. The power of the 777 is impressive, especially in the climb. It really seems to be a more automated 737. I have to admit, however, that i think I like flying the MD-11 more than this one, but I haven't done that much yet. I am getting outstanding frame rates and few glitches. The sound package is fantastic, and the FMC interface to make changes in the simulator is very helpful. I'm running a Navidia GEForce 660 card, and getting a nice result. As usual, the manuals are great, and I look forward to the advanced tutorial. I wish Topcat would finish the interface for the 777, but that is not PMDG's problem.

Same thing happened to me, and it has to do with a panel state.

Did you right click on the VC view? You can get a 2D of both the upper and lower panels. Zoom right in - no problem!

You should have gotten an order #, and it looks like there are cases where people are not getting order #'s, so if it was deducted, a ticket is the way. My activation code is in the email I received.

Just got my download link. Thank you, PMDG.

Okay, you're right. I didn't check my Facebook. They DID send me a nice message, so I'll stop ######ing.

If they had problems for 75% of the people, that is their problem. I see they didn't have the same problem in charging my card. They were featured in the Wall Street Journal - what did they think was going to happen? I'm sorry, but I'm frustrated. I think'll start drinking. The I can fly drunk if it comes in tonight.

Great - Ryan did it for a few, and then he locked the thread. Nice business practice. Hey Ryan, please give the rest of us a break - order #231688 - two tickets submitted, three hour wait.

For $90.00 we should at least get a response. I know companies that will break their backs to explain things to you on a $10.00 order. I guess success breeds arrogance.

I received my order confirmation at 5:24. I have been waiting two hours now, and it looks like it is going to be a lot longer. I don't mind waiting - I am just not sure if the order processed correctly. I did receive my order # and my order code, so I am going to assume that it is in the queue - but PMDG could at least let us know that things are working, albeit slowly.
