Brian already handled it. And yes to Win7. Just a note... If you're going to have an all legacy app like that, you'll want to make sure all systems can use the product manager. I know Win7 is out of support, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to, nor can, as is my case, upgrade. I tried Win10 on this laptop, and found that the video card simply cannot support it.

I found another folder for it under Appdata/Roaming. Deleted it, then reinstalled, and still not working. Could not find any reg keys with "fs2crew". Any ideas?

I just bought the package that contains all the FSX products together. I try running the Product Manager, and it just shows a screen with blank tabs on the left side, and it never updates. Never shows my install options. Need some help with this. I disabled my firewall and virus scanner and tried again, still won't work. Does it just use the files in C:\Users\[redacted]\AppData\Local\Programs\fs2crew-product-manager-installer? Does it use any registry keys I can delete before trying again? Can I just get the installer for the product instead of using this product manager?

Unless, of course, you're using a program like FSCaptain, which defines your pax count, cargo carried, and fuel load...

See, I thought it had to do with the fact that VFR aircraft operate under 10,000 ft., and usually below 250kts, so it was set to 250kts for safety reasons in that regard, and well as the fact that under 10k is generally more populated than higher altitudes. Here's my suggestion.. don't worry too much about what it's like flying in the real world. Most of us are stuck in the pretend world, and so we should live with within those parameters. Considering jets like the MD11 typically clear 10,000 w/in 5 minutes no matter what the speed, who cares? Plus, if you're following your SIDS/STARS like good little boys and girls, then you need the maneuverability of the lower speeds to accommodate those flight paths.

Too bad FSCaptain has a problem with the plane's normal pitch-up after takeoff. Every time I take off, one of the first things I hear after "Gear up" is "Good grief!". hehe I just keep telling him to stfu!

Just my two cents... I noticed that the plane shows, on the N1 display, a purple tick mark at the appropriate takeoff thrust. Set your throttle at that and it'll be at the proper flex thrust set for takeoff.
