Keep in mind your situation as to the steps you performed maybe different. Make sure you download the latest installer for your product from Carenado. When I initially installed the plane and it asked what sim do you have I choose Prepar3d. The next screen asks you to choose which version. 2,3,4 and or other. I choose other because I have version 5. As you know once I got into the sim I had the transparent cockpit as described. I decided to play with re installing several times to no avail. This last weekend I tried reinstalling but at the point of choosing which version instead of going with other I choose version 4 and steered it towards the Prepar3d V5 folder on my pc. I did this for both of my carenado products and it worked for me. No more transparent cockpit and fueselage. I hope this will work for you. Let me know. R/ Pete

I figured out the fix. If you still need it let me know.

Hey Guy's Just bought the TBM 850 for Prepar3d V5 and have the same problem. Did you ever figure it out?

Ray, I had a similar problem when I first got the 737ngx. I was running it on an old machine in my case it ended up being the antivirus kicking off a scan or both windows and the antivirus deciding they needed to download updates. I built a new rig which helped greatly but the antivirus doing its thing can still cause problems. Before I launch FSX I turn off the live scanning feature of the Antivirus. Just a thought.

Ray, My first question to you would be are you running FSX as an administrator? R/ Pete McMahon

Morning Mike, Open up a trouble ticket with PMDG and let them know what and why you are doing. I did this about a month ago and mine was reset within about 30 minutes from the time I opened the ticket. R/ Pete McMahon

Hey Kyle, I have REX and it does offer smoothing options which I do have enabled but I still get the results I described earlier in a post to this thread. Will FSUIPC work with REX to address this issue? R/ Pete McMahon

Chris, Sounds like you may need to do a Clean Re Install on FSX as you said you already did one for the NGX. R/ Pete McMahon

I havent had the bank angle issue. But I am getting problems with airspeed. I am currently running the NGX with REX and anytime REX goes out to get the latest wheather and generate it for the next area which seems to be about every 80 -120 miles along my course the wind will change direction all of a sudden while the wheather injection is occuring. I go from having an 80mph tailwind to headwing and back again. It reaks havoc on my speed. The plane gets tossed around pretty good but nothing extreme like you are experiencing. I do have turbulence turned off in FSX. I aslo found a link in another posting that said to change your turbulence setting in the fsx.cfg file from 1.000000 to .500000 which I tried last night and still had the problem. I have heard that FSUIPC will help with this but not sure. I guess that is probably my next purchase. I just hate to spend money on it if I don't need it. Pete McMahon

Stelios, Yes you can take off without the FMC being programmed. Yes you can change the altitude and height manually. For altitude enter your desired altitude and rate of climb then press the altitude intervene button. Never had any issues with the heading button just dialed up my heading then hit the heading button. Pete McMahon

Hey Kyle, Will FSUIPC work with REX? Pete McMahon

I don't know if payware is the actual fix. I bought REX two weeks ago. I love it. But I have noticed it tosses my plane around pretty good everytime the weather updates. I haven't noticed the wind be inaccurate but I do have my turbulance and shear settings on low. I also have smoothing enabled and still get tossed around pretty good. Pete McMahon

You might try KEGE or KJAC They are pretty decent for scenery. Pete McMahon

Andrea, I had this problem too when I first got the NGX about 2 months ago. I found a post in the forum somewhere I can't remember where. But it said once the NGX has done its little countdown to powering up when you first load your flight press the F1 key and then apply your parking brakes. I tried this and I have not had this problem since. But of course I do this little procedure everytime I first start up with NGX. Hope this helps. Pete McMahon

I will have to take a look at how to do the settings thru FMC/CDU. Thanks for the advice Jon.
