I think it is the QW B787 crash detector? Maybe the OP was trying to fly the 787? Mark

I’m not an American but Orlando FL is the opposite side of your Country to Santa Ana CA, which is where HL James own profile on the forum says he lives. I don’t think the Obit is for our much thought of Screen Shot contributor, however respects to Mr Randall James.

Effective 0000z 23DEC18 for 24hrs only you can buy it for $25 so we can both find out for that price (literally just got the Captain Sim News email 1 minute ago). Cheers, Mark

LOL I will stop opening the PMDG Operations Centre every hour to see! Thanks and Merry Christmas!, Mark

Gerard, in my case because I checked, the folders and third party contents remained. I thought if it failed and a full install was needed I am on vacation next week and have time to start from scratch. Was not necessary. Cheers, Msrk

I have no doubt it was not an invention, you provided the photos! I absolutely get it, The fact I have Mike’s issue but not yours must be the bane of developers. You have a workaround not a solution, not a fix. I am still scratching for a workaround however I might take the view that until earlier today I did not know I had a problem and just pretend I did not read this! Mark

Hi Mike, I have never noticed but my ZSPD is the same. I don’t think the satellite photo mesh blends properly with FTX Vector so you (and I) can’t fix it. If you disable Vector it blends reasonably well with default (which is FTX Global in my case). I think the reason I have never noticed is because the real airport during the landfill operation was like that... I would put the photo mesh circa 2015. Today, there is actually another runway there (not yet opened). However the blend could be a lot more tidy and I am sure it was at one stage however I don’t have old installers and it will need a fix from Imaginesim if they feel so inclined to blend the airport with FTX Vector. I have now had a look at WSSS and it is better but default (FTX Global once again in my case) is better. I Install, check the airport is there, my tyres don’t sink, SODE works, and fly, IFR and don’t go sight seeing as I go to the real airports so don’t feel the need... in WSSS once changed at the hotel I head to Fatties for good company and half a dozen Tsingtao... I don’t walk around the airport so I guess my Sim approach is somewhat the same! However, I don’t have the issue Chris has with Water Ultra. I don’t get his bleeds on the tarmac with the same setting (which is my setting) so that may be perhaps caused by something else he uses on his PC but I can’t help other than to say not on mine with the same setting. Cheers, Mark

Electronic Flight Folder on the Company provided Flight Crew iPad.

Today’s QF27 as extracted from the flight planning pilot’s app... That is the profile the flight planning system has selected for optimal fuel usage based on the grib winds. It is unlikely the crew will fly that profile however the system does profile this way to show the optimum vertical profile over the route st time of planning. QFA27 /257.VHOEF.

I think it is on a par with WSSS to the extent I really like flying out of it, equally so with WSSS. I am in and out of both airports IRL so the fact I like them in P3D is testament to their robustness in the Sim.

I have the P3Dv4 version (just recently updated by Imaginesim within the last week) and I am parked at D73 right now to do LH729 to EDDF with the 748 and I have just checked and no issues as described above. I have FTX Global, Vector, Pilot’s Mesh 2018 and all good.

I would love a PMDG C-17. Enough said.

To add to the discussion I have had time to search the PF3 forums and have come across the following... ”PF3 gains it's AI data from FSUIPC and if the format or name is not recognised by PF3 you will get the first part of the name given phonetically rather than hearing the correct callsign.” We might have been looking in the wrong direction. Regards, Mark

Hi Oliver, I have tested the new LLTX version and sent you an email. Thank you for the opportunity! Cheers, Mark

Apologies Ray, that was not my experience. Quite the opposite. I had done everything but a Driver Booster check to rid myself of that dll crash (as I had no faith in such tools either) but Jim urged me to do so, and what can I say, I have never had a CTD since. And it has been months, whereas I was having the issue every second flight. I hope you get it sorted.
