Thanks Rogen, it worked, however not so good on my 48" monitor; something I didn't know about. Thanks anyway, max

No joy here. Got Beam yesterday, installed (admin) it as instructed, and DL'd Opentrack. When I try to set Output in OT (Microsoft FSX Simconnect) I get a simconnect error: "not a valid Win32 app". I have 3 versions (10.0.xxxxx.0) of simconnect installed for P3Dv5.4. According to the Beam game instructions page for P3D, OT must be used, but it doesn't mention what version of P3D they are talking about. I run everything as Admin and both apps are "allowed". Thanks, max

Price is definitely right. My pc doesn't have a web cam but I do have a couple of 1080p USB cameras lying around which I used to use with TrackHat (which was useless). If I understand correctly, all one needs is the Beam software and a camera; and one can get the trial software from Steam to "try it out"? Thanks, max

Anyone using Tobii or Beam devices for P3dv5.4? Do either of them work as advertised? I like the idea of not wearing reflectors/IR LEDs and the fact that they are said to be unaffected by ambient light. Hugh price difference twixt Tobii and Beam, however, where Beam is concerned, I am not crazy about using my phone as a tracking device (if I understand the method correctly). I would consider Track IR if I were reasonably sure that it was consistently reliable and didn't jump around like a deranged rabbit when light affected it. Years ago I had a Track IR3 which worked ok but was really went wonky with ambient light and of course there's the hat... Would appreciate any feed back. Rgds to all, max

When trying to run MR I get following error: "Failed to make FStarRC RWS file" any ideas?

Pete, I figured that log file guess of mine may have been a coincidence. I did leave task mgr open while trying to run FSX to see if there was something running that would indicate a second incidence of FSUIPC4 running; there wasn't - that I could tell - no 2nd instance of FSX. I also cold booted and it still happened. The only way I could get through without the dupe error was to re-run the FSUIPC.exe and that was after I uninstalled the QW757 and all its remnants. I haven't tried re-running the FSUIPC.exe with the QW757 still installed. My FSUIPC4 is a paid version, if that matters.

Thanks Jim, Roger that. I tried the simflt forun but it must have been down for some reason. Antway, I solved the problem. It was a duplicate FSUIPC4 log fie that caused the problem ( or seemed to). I compared a backup module folder that I have with the currrent one and a file called FSUIPC.1.log showed up; it wasn't in my backup modules folder, so I deleted it and all is well again. I hope this helps someone else... Thanks agn, Walter

After installing QW757 I go into FSX and I get an FSUIPC4 duplicate notification error. After doing a Windows search and a manual search for the elusive dupilcate FSUIPC4.dll ... there isn't any duplicate. No re-named FSUIPC.dll's - nothing. I'm guessing that when I installed the QW757 it wanted to install an included copy of FSUIPC4 and I stupidly allowed that install. I checked the dll.xml and the proper FSUIPC4.dll entries are present (compared against a backup copy). I don't know where else to look, any ideas? Thanks & rgds to all, Walter

Bought Combo Dec/08; got update in March/09. Uninstalled as required. Went to re-install after replacing mobo and PS and HDD and received error on validation: Error number: 0x800C0005. Correct email, order # and password entered. (Probably because of the new HDD???? maybe???)Using Win7/64 with UAC off and running as Admin. Problem #2:Tried to submit support ticket and my normal login did not work; didn't recognize my email address. Then tried to re-register and kept on getting a msg to re-enter the anti-bot string.In summary, my normal login to the main PMDG site works... However, when I go to the support tab to submit a ticket it won't recognize me and it won't let me register.I'll be out of town for a week or to so I won't be able to respond to any questions. In the meantime, thanks for your anticipated assistance!!42
