Getting error code 0x80004005 when extracting installers
xwinds replied to xwinds's topic in PMDG General Forum
Okay Robert, it went through this time- I turned off everything and downloaded the files. The 747 installed without a hitch, but the T7 had issues. I just kept deleting and re-downloading till it came across clean. Thanks for your assistance. All the best, Jay -

Thanks for looking into this for me Robert. I don’t have any AV except the native Windows Defender. I turn that off during downloads. It just occurred to me about the Windows Smart Screen. I’ll turn that off too and give it a try and revert. Like I previously mentioned- this the first time ever that I’m experiencing this issue and it baffles me. Thanks again & best, Jay -

Getting error code 0x80004005 when extracting installers
xwinds replied to xwinds's topic in PMDG General Forum
Hi Dan, Once again thanks much for your help with this. I tried everything even from the KB but its not working. However in the 7Zip program I do get a data error message while extracting the file. So I pretty much think the download link(s) in my account may be bad file(s). It's frustrating as I don't have any of the PMDG products I purchased since I uninstalled everything before downloading and extracting the new files, and my wife deleted my FS Downloads folder in exasperation with all my desktop icons and it sux that I don't have any access to previous installers either! But thanks again for all your help here, I'm hoping to get the attention from the PMDG Support staff here as my OC has also gone. All the best, Jay -

Hey thanks for your help with this again Dan. I’ll look into it with this alternate Zip file extractor you recommended and revert with the outcome. Will most likely be toward end of the week. Thanks again & best, Jay -

Hi Dan, thanks for taking a moment to get back. Your right- I uninstalled previous versions and downloaded current ones. I tried running the installer from the zip file and it fails. A message comes up saying the destination file could not be extracted... This is a first for an extraction error, and it only occurs with these PMDG files. Other downloads have no issues. Thanks again and best, Jay -

Hi everyone, For the first time ever I'm getting this strange error code while extracting the files that's not allowing me to install the T7 & 747 updates! Any help would be huge! Thanks, Jay -
Thank you Simon, thank you Dan. All the best, Jay

Hi everyone, I was trying to figure out how to change the auto step climb size in the FMC options but couldn't figure. Its currently set to ICAO and at S/C the aircraft soars 4,000 feet to the next step. I think I need to set the S/C to RVSM. Would appreciate the guidance here. Thanks, Jay

Hi everyone & kudos to the team at PMDG for the recreation of the 747- QOTS! I couldn't help but comment and complement here- after trying hard to stay away from the redeployment of the QOTS from PMDG as I expected them to undertake a new project - they've done justice to a beauty of an airliner. I got the PMDG 747 after all the back n forth last weekend and spent one weekend understanding the package for FSX, tweaking and working around to have an optimization for my system. I'm totally delighted with this simulation and the depth of the details. Its a lesson in business admin too- amazing redefinition of the scope of a product to identify and renew a larger market- an evolving one. It also reinforces the passion of a team in commiting to the goal. Good luck and soar on! - Jay

Wow! They take you all the way to CC or PP payment submission with $228 mil worth product in your shopping cart. I was counting on them to come up with an option to purchase this one through the ILFC! :p0502:

[01JAN16] New Year... New Updates for the 777 product line!
xwinds replied to rsrandazzo's topic in PMDG General Forum
Its awesome what you guys are doing for the Sim Community! I'm so close to finally start moving to P3D V3 after seeing the developments there... and I'd almost bought the T7 at the special price for FSX owners when they came out with the P3D version- only to put it in the hangar till I made the move... Thanks team PMDG! And Happy New Year everyone! -Jay -
RIP Tom. Thanks for everything! -Jay Bhatt

xwinds posted a topic in PMDG MD-11 (Legacy Version)
Much as I've enjoyed the MD-11 as a (late) hot favorite among other PMDGs on FSX, I'd love to have them throw some MD-11 beans the way for the crew @ LAMINAR. Much solid (loved) and under appreciated bird. Commerce is all about the customer ya? It was about the demand in the Industrial Age! -

Awesome! Thanks everyone, I'll look into FTX Vectors too. Just read about it somewhere too. Cheers, Jay

Hi everyone, Hearing a lot about & seeing some solid reviews of the global scenery upgrade provided by FTX Global over the default FSX scenery I'm tempted to get this addon. But my main hesitation is the effect it'll have on the airport addons currently installed by me in FSX. I have a load of them. It'd help knowing what people have experienced and if it's harmless to install with the aerosoft, fsdt, flight beam, etc., airport add ons already installed into FSX. I'd hate to have to go through another clean install if things get messed up. Thanks in advance everyone. Best wishes, Jay
