Microsoft Flight Simulator® Has Stopped Working
Yes, I'm having errors too since SP1b. One evening I had three crashes. The first was when I tried to request wind data in the FMC. After restarting FSX, I skipped getting wind data, and it randomly crashed while I was going through checklists. I don't remember at what point this happened. The third crash was while taxiing to the runway. At that point I gave up for the night, and haven't tried it since. It was rock-solid before the service packs. I didn't save any error information, because I was planning on being more methodical later to see if I could make the crashing stop. In the past, I have stopped my crashes for a given flight (in NGX) by not using ASN for that particular flight. I just haven't gotten around to trying this yet. I was running ASN, and EZCA, on the main FSX Machine, with FSC9(with latest patches) connected via WideFS on my laptop.

Thanks for the update. Your health comes first. Take care of yourself.

Ezdok aircraft views show missing bodywork
I think you have to re-run the EZCA aircraft configuration tool to get the camra data back into the new aircraft.cfg files. I think this is a requirement any time you update an aircraft.

Save position of popouts?
I had some success editing the panel.cfg. I didn't make too many changes. I just edited to make the popup FMC, and AS2012 weather windows go where I wanted. This might give you a place to start: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526956.aspx#window00_and_vcockpit00 Charlie

Navigation Database - Editing
Thanks to everyone one for the helpful posts. Hi Richard, I use Air Hauler, and I have a company in the UK. I used Brize Norton as a base for Company Ops. (Military airfields cost less and have long runways.) I was using EGTG-Filton. That one was alsonot in the database, but I learned that it was actually closed in 2012, and the runway was broken up. Ocassionally, AH generates jobs to airports not in the Database, so I'm just trying to figure out how to make those flights.

Navigation Database - Editing
Hi, I tried searching for this first, but most of the threads containing answers directed folks to links that are dead now (i.e. Planepath). Also http://support.precisionmanuals.com/KB/a60/pmdg-navdata-glossary.aspx didn't seem to reference the same format of runway file. Anyway, I'm trying to add a missing airport to the FMC navigation database, I'm stumped on the runways. For the following piece of sample data from ARPT_RWY.DAT: AP;EGVN;BRIZE NORTON ;51.749961;-1.583639;285 RW;08;51.746092;-1.604114;285;10855;076;076;10007 RW;26;51.753875;-1.561775;248;10855;256;256;10007 FS;08;51.746086;-1.604164;288;11190;076;076;9984 FS;26;51.753876;-1.561755;288;11190;256;256;9984 1. What are the FS lines? 2. What does the last value represent on each of the RW/FS lines? It seems to me that the value before the heading is the runway length, but I don't know what the last value is. So far my interpretation of this format is: Airport Line: RecType;ICAO;NAME;LAT;LON;ELEVATION RW Line(s): RecType;RWYNUM;THRESH_LAT;THRESH_LON;ELEVATION;LENGTH;HEADING;HEADING(again?);???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Charlie Powell

PMDG didn't send me a download link
I can confirm they are working through the tickets. I just got my email with the download link (after 4 hours). Thanks PMDG. Surprisingly enough, the file (778mb) downloaded in less than 3 minutes.

Huh?
Did the order go through? Did you get a download link? Right after I placed the order, the page went to an error that said they were restarting their servers or something. I placed an order, received a confirmation email, and can see the order in my history, but I didn't get a download link. If other people are having the same issue, I'll just wait, otherwise, I will need to report the problem. Edit: I see from another thread that this is a common occurrence, so I guess I will just wait.

Is It a Must To Have PMDG737 Before Buying 777 ?
I'm sure there's a joke here somewhere....
