The problem is there. I did a fresh install of OS Win 7. Sim platform is P3DV3.1. Aircraft PMDG 777. If you are saying this is USB issue, may I know if I have to install Saitek Drivers? Currently I have not installed any specific driver. I have the following: 1. Saitek Cessna Yoke 2. Saitek Cessna Rudder Pedals 3. Saitek Throttle Quadrant 4. Saitek panels (Switch panel, Multipanel, Radio Panel) Regards, Adit Maark Yvon

i have some inputs. I can confirm the issue happens only when flying in VATSIM. I am using Vpilot. I use it in my secondary PC connected over network. I run Vproxy from the flightsim PC. Adit Maark Yvon

I will do an analysis flight in detail and report the results. Unable to find time to do this due to work. However, I did squeeze sometime to check if the same is happening with another aircraft just to isolate the issue. But I have to say that I use only installers that were made for P3DV3. So at the moment Aerosoft Airbus series, Dash 8 Q400 none of them is out with a P3DV3 version. So I resorted to the A2A Cessna C182 for a flight (30 mins). I know you can't compare this and a commercial jet but just to check. Everything seems fine. The service ceiling for this is just 18000 feet. But everything went fine. No issues.

Dan, I observe the following. 1. P3D keeps running. 2. VC displays are working. Yes I can see the changes happening. 3. Kept running for 5 mins. 4. I used CRTL + ALT + DEL to summon the Task Manager. But to my astonishment I don't see any tasks in that. 5. When I use the windows key to get focus on shutdown and press enter, the system stays in the screen " Shutting Down" forever. After this point I had to press the power button for a forced shutdown. Regards, Adit

Gentlemen, I am facing an issue where I get a weird anomaly which happens just before cruise. First my mouse pointer when clicked doesn't do anything but simulation runs. Within a few seconds nothing is clickable even items out of the simulator scope. I get sounds like 'TOK' when pressing the left mouse button. I see this problem in both 737 NGX and 777. I recently upgraded to P3DV3. Yes I have followed the steps in making sure that no other aircraft is loaded before the pmdg aircraft. I tried this with full screen as well as window mode. The issue is consistent. My PMDG fleet is now grounded. Note: This happens only when airborne. On ground its fine. Simulation continues to run but what could you do if none of your clicks are responsive. Platform: Windows 7 64 BIT Sim: P3DV3 Thank you, Adit Maark Yvon Just to clarify, mouse pointer is visible but no response clicking anywhere on the screen both simulator in scope and out of scope.

Hi Dan, I have created a new topic. Will continue there. Thank you, Adit Maark Yvon

Downloaded again now I have the correct version 6320. They could have given the update (full) through OC itself. Anyways, it is fine and installed. Regards, Adit Maark Yvon

They have uploaded the 6155 version. I checked the notepad for changelog. Regards, Adit Maark Yvon

Hello, I would like to know how to download the latest update for the 777. I have received a notification in PMDG Operation Center to update to the latest. When I install I get a notepad saying that I should download the full installer and that I have to log into the ecommerce website and go to "view previous orders". I am an ecommerce customer. When I click the download URL within "view previous orders" it says link expired. How can I download the latest installer? Current version I have is 6155 Regards, Adit Maark Yvon

How does one load the aircraft in cold and dark mode? Carenado website says it comes with cold and dark and ready to taxi options available. I could not figure out how to enable the cold and dark option.

Thank you Kyle for clarifying the ACARS subject. Now I completely understand that there is no standard interface as every VA has its own set of parameters for data reporting. Regarding the VA program yes I use ALT+TAB and then use task manager and switch to the FSX again. As you have suggested I try to do this after I complete the flight at the time of PIREP filing. Cheers.

Hi Kyle, Thank you for providing the info about the 3 CDUs. Kindly could you elaborate a bit more on the 3rd one (ACARS). It would be great if you can provide an example. It would also be nice if you can mention what typical information is reported. I am very interested in knowing this as I fly for virtual airlines but I do run FSX in full screen mode so I miss out on the data recorded on the ACARS utility used for the virtual airlines as I have to exit the full screen mode which I prefer not to do. So I can only view the details at the time I file the PIREP. Forgive my ignorance as I am just a simulation pilot. Cheers.
