Hello, Are there any updates on when PMDG is getting their own forum and what platform will be used?

That worked. Thanks!

This is what my 747 looks like after selecting it in Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition. Any idea how I can fix it?

Maybe the PMDG 777 isn't loading the flight plan automatically to FSX even though in the FMC I have the option to "Create and Load FSX plan to FSX". If I go to Flights -> Flight Planner in FSX after loading the flight plan from the 777 there is nothing there even though the route works fine in the 777. Should I see the route loaded in the Flight Planner page inside FSX or is not seeing it there normal? I don't know if this is the issue or not, but I'm just trying to think of other things that could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I think so. Here is what I have: Simulator installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX Simulator application data folder: C:\Users\**\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX For data export path I've tried 2 places, neither worked. The default was: C:\Users\**\AppData\Roaming\Hifi\AS16_FSX\Weather The other folder I tried was: C:\Users\**\Documents\Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition Files Any ideas?

Nope. I still haven't gotten this issue figured out.

I'm having a similar issue with Active Sky 2016 and the PMDG 777. The route and weather data load fine until I get to the descent forecast. At that screen I keep getting the invalid des forecast uplink message. I have the PMDG 777 set to "Create and Load FSX plan to FSX" and I have AS2016 set to "Auto load simulator flight plan". The WX.PLN file is created in the Documents\Flight Simulator X - Steam Edition Files folder which is the default folder that comes up when manually load a flight plan into AS16, but there is no flight plan in AS2016. There is also a "KMIAKMCO.wx" file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\PMDG\WX folder. I think the issue is that AS16 isn't auto loading the flight plan even though I have that setting selected. If I manually load the WX.PLN file in AS16, the data uplink works in the 777. Any suggestions on how I can get the flight plan to auto load into AS16?

Nice! Will that be a free upgrade for the people who already purchased the GoFlight Interface Tool?

First, I'd like to thank the PMDG team for everything they've done. I'm pretty new to flight sims and a few months ago I decided that I was getting good enough at it to look into a top of the line aircraft. I was referred to PMDG and bought the 737 NGX. I couldn't be happier with that decision. I like it so much that I don't fly other planes very often anymore. You guys have done such an amazing job that all the other planes I have (including other payware aircraft) just can't measure up. With that said, I do have a few questions about the 747 that I hope you can answer: 1) Will it be compatible with the GoFlight MCP Pro? Currently, the 737NGX works, but I had to buy a separate interface program (from pollypotsoftware.org.uk). I'm hoping the 747 will either be fully compatible with the GoFlight MCP Pro or that the MCP controls are similar enough to the 737NGX that the interface program I use will still work. 2) It sounds like the -400 will be released first and the -8 will follow some time after. Is that correct? If so, is it possible to shed some light on the order of release? I know you guys can't pin point a date, but will the -400 for FSX/FSX:SE happen first, then the X-Plane version of the -400 and then the -8? The -8 is the one I'm really waiting for, but I'm getting the -400 as well. Thanks again for everything you guys do. The products and support you guys offer are far superior to anything else I've seen. Keep up the great work!
