I have down loaded this from from Prepared 3D forum but it worked for my FSX installation as well. have you verified the dll.xml file is correct ? go to, C:\Users\(Your Windows Account Name)\AppData\Roaming\(Flight Simulator Folder Name) open "dll.xml" with notepad and check for the correct entry for the pmdg hud. verify the following entries are there; <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG HUD interface</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_HUD_interface.dll</Path> <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName> <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName> </Launch.Addon> If not copy and paste. Cheers jaccorn

Had the same issue as Nickcv. After I installed Win10 a dialog box would pop up asking me to Activate the Acceleration Pack. I did this a couple of tmies but it didn't do any good. I started FSX as administrator and it orks fine. I uninstalled hen reloaded FSX and still had same problem. Think it may have been a registry fault. Any way, starting FSX as administrator does the trick so thanks again Nickcv. Cheers John Cornish

Went to down load at FSS store but could not find a link. Sent FSS an e-mail and this was the reply: APR 18, 2015 | 01:56PM EST Andres - The FlightSim Store replied: Hi John, As a request from the developer we have been instructed to remove the product from our site Any further question relating to this matter should be forwarded directly to the developer Thanks Andres Bottino _____________________________________ T h e F l i g h t S i m S t o r e web : http://www.flightsimstore.com email : support@flightsimstore.com phone : +61 2 4296 1641 fax : +61 2 8572 8203 Cheers John Cornish

Just loaded 737ngx onto new computer. Autopilot diengaging mid flight. Aircraft not being controlled from this point. VNAV, LNAV and CMD functions are selected and are illuminated. N1, LNAV and VNAV SPD are being displayed at the top of the PD. CMD also displayed in PD top of artificial Horizon. My FSX files are located on an SSD which I have formatted and reloaded all FSX and PMDG files to try and fix problem but didn't work. I have flown many hours on my old computer with no such isuues. Using latest edition FSUIPC, Win7 on an ASUS Z87-C Motherboard. CH Stick, Throttle and rudder pedals using individual motherboard USB ports(Not Hub). Any ideas would be appreciated. cheers John Cornish

20 miles before T/D down 2000fpm to transition alt+1000'. Slow to 250knts or less then continue decent as cleared. Cheers John Cornish

Thanks Ryan, Changed panel.cfg to panel.cfg.old and panel_4_3.cfg to panel.cfg then reloaded. The undercarriage selector was pushed off the side of my screen but the forward view did not change. cheers John Cornish

Thanks for the interest Jay , Post #8 discusses settings in the FSX.cfg and Panel.cfg files. Both these have been checked and are as they should be. What I have noticed though is that any change I make to the Panel.cfg file in Views. View_Forward_Dir =. Has no affect on the cockpit perspective. ie: whether I have 'View_Forward_Dir=1.0, 0.0, 0.0 or View_Forward_Dir=5.5, 0.0, 0.0'. the cockpit perspective does not change. What would cause the Panel.cfg instructions to be ignored? Cheers John Cornish

Thanks Jay, The post you pointed to delt with changing 'WideView Aspect' in the FSX.cfg file to True or False depending on monitor type. It also deals with changing the values of the 'Views. View

Thanks Pete, Changed 'WideViewAspect=True' from 'WideViewAspect=False' in fsx.CFG with no affect. cheers John Cornish

Thanks all for your input. My screen resolution is 1600x1200 which is native to the 4:3 Aspect Ratio screen. Raising and lowering seat is not the affect I am after with shift+enter/shift+backspace. The changing of pilot perspective with Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+Shift+Q is the affect I wish to alter. I can get the view I want by selecting Ctrl+Q but if I select a side view left or right then return to the forward view it is too high once again. cheers John Cornish

Just reloaded 737NGX on my machine with a 4:3 Ratio CRT Monitor and have an old problem with the Front Panel too large for the scenery behind. Can not see runway on approach. FSX + FSX Acceleration. Have loaded latest patch 1.C. Have 'WideViewAspect=False in fsx.CFG. ' Have [VIEWS] VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,MINIPANEL VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=5.5, 0.0, 0.0 VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.8 in panel.cfg file Can temporarily change view to correct position with Ctrl + Q. Would appreciate any suggetions. cheers John Cornish

Wrote to OzRunways for a second time regarding support for Simulator Mode for FSX so that the moving map on OzRunways could be active whilst flying. OzRunways supports XPlane and I was interested to see if this functionality could be adapted for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have included the reply from Rowan Willson at OzRunways. Maybe someone might be able to get this thing up and running. Hi John, Thanks for the email - we've actually been looking for somebody in the flight sim community to write a plugin for FSX to output lat/lon/altitude/heading in the same format that XPlane does so it can plug straight back directly into OzRunways. Basically, XPlane outputs a bunch of data in packets via UDP, which we "listen" in on and save the latest packets for use in OzRunways as a position. If FSX can simulate those packets via a plugin, it will work identical to if you were running XPlane. We looked into doing any native FSX support, but it was fairly difficult (Neil is the expert on that & didn't have much luck). Also what he did look into, was quite complicated to set up in FSX. A plugin would be 100 times simpler. Anyway if you want to post on the forums that would be great! As a sweetner, anybody who writes a good FSX plugin we can hook them up with 5 years OzRunways subscription This document provides details of how we set up XPlane to output on port 49002 to the iPad's IP address: http://www.ozrunways.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/OzRunways-Xplane9-Documentation.pdf The key is that the fields 18 (pitch/roll/heading), 20 (lat/lon/altitude) and 21 (loc, vel, distance travelled) are ticked & the FSX simulates the output the same as if you had ticked these in XPlane. A session on TCPDUMP and the XPlane dev forums should do the trick! Thanks again for your support, Cheers, Rowan.

Having a spot of trouble finding the NGX SP1. Seems to have vanished.cheersJohn Cornish

Found the problem. Had a Windows update recently. Thought was this may be the culprit as updates in the past have caused issues on my machine. If they have caused enough heartache a new update is usually released very quickly. Checked Windows Update and a warning came up saying my date/time was incorrect. Changed to correct settings in Control Panel and 'hey presto', all working. This had me throwing my hands up in the air for a while as all other add ons worked with the date/time out of sync including PMDG 747-400X. Hope this may assist someone else.cheersJohn Cornish

Thanks for the reply Jose. If I close the screen asking for the Product Activation code once more another screen appears saying the product isn't validated and FSX locks up. I have tried entering the Product Activation Code several times but the request screen reappears every time. cheersJohn Cornish
