Hi Everyone! I have a custom PMDG 777-200LR Livery that I want to install however I cannot seem to do it. Upon searching I found many references on how to do it with PMDG Operation Centre but not PMDG Operation Centre V2. Can someone guide me through the process of installing a custom livery? Kind Regards, CaptainMidway

I have just spoken to a supervisor online. He will ask some network managers to take a look at the matter and see if they can resolve it. I will post aby developments here or you can follow my Vatsim Forum as I expect a reply from them over there.

My issue seems to be more serious as regardless of whether I am flying over EGLL or KJFK, my sever doesn't want to work. I have come across some other causes that include this issue being limited to the Gulf Region where I am currently living. Another hypothesis is that the internet provideds here have cut off some web services including VATSIM to make room for other important applications such as Microsoft Teams Google Classroom....etc that are being used in Schools and Offices around the region. I am still open to any suggestions however this is my conclusion - meaning I wont be flying VATSIM anytime soon. I have also tried VPN however this didn't work adding further credibility to my hypothesis above. Hopefully I am wrong and someone comes up with a solution. Regards, CaptainMidway :(

Thanks for your Reply. That is just a huge bummer as all this new technology that would make FSX a blast for many is simply not compatible. And with FSX 2020 in the works, the future of FSX looks gloomy. In the setting menu I still get DirectX 10 Preview. What is this tool? What changes can I expect from using it? Can you also clarify if this is Payware or Freeware and post a link to the download page? I have found multiple download pages and want to use the official one.

Hello Everyone, I am creating this forum because I am wondering whether there is was any way to make FSX Gold Edition (CD Disk) compatible with DirectX 12. I have come across many forums that don't give a definitive answer or explore the topic in great detail but with many of those being from 2017, I am hoping that someone may have an idea of how we can accomplish this task in 2020. DirectX 12 has a lot of advanced features that can potentially make FSX run smoother . Currently, my version of FSX is running on DirectX 10 preview (The state that the Acceleration Pack leaves FSX in). Can someone let me know if any such updates or methods exist through which I can make FSX run on DirectX 12? Best Regards, CaptainMidway

Hello, I recently have gotten back into Flight Simulation on VATSIM and have been enjoying it a lot. To improve my performance, I have moved to a newer computer and have reinstalled all the necessary software including vPilot. However, after going through the necessary setup, and opening FSX, when I try to connect to the server, it gives the the error "Network error: Client authentication response timeout" following which I get disconnected from the server. I don't have a solution to this problem. I have tried running both FSX and vPilot on Administrator, reinstalled it a couple of times, and even try the recommended compatibility settings. However none of these have produced and results. I am out of options and hope someone here can help me fix this problem and get back to the sky's. Regards, CaptainMidway
