Righto, slight change of plan here. I'd got myself prepped and ready to fly the next leg of my tour using the old faithful 747-400 G-DOCU, and started getting problems with this add-on and FSX. Anyway, for some bizarre reason the bird would not import my flight plans from FSX, which is kind of a problem. I have the latest version of this aircraft, so I tried updating the AIRAC cycle for the FMC, and this proceeded to break the add on big time, so that now when selecting this aircraft within FSX I get an 'FSX has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for this inconvenience' message. All very nice and courteous of Microshaft, however this is now a pain in the bum. So, long story short, I tried a repair of FSX using the original installation DVD, which then put it back to a pre-sp1 state; then I had to re-install SP2 again......anyway. In the meantime, I've bought the PMDG MD-11 and was itching to try this out, so again after a huge caffufle trying to get this to work (some issue to do with Vista and a dodgy install script from my other add ons......) it's one hell of a good package. I spend more time lately dealing with app hangs and bugs in the software rather than actually flying, which is not very much fun at all really. Hey ho, it's just like being in work really fixing servers......
So, as I want to fly my new add-on MD-11 and due to the recent problems I've been getting with FSX and the 737, I've changed my mind and am going to be flying this next leg in the PMDG MD-11; in BA Union Flag livery (don't think they ever flew MD-11's, and certainly not of registration G-BPMD, which belongs to a boeing stearman that's still flying somewhere out there.........) Faux aircraft, but nevertheless a joy to behold. So welcome aboard G-BPMD for the next leg of our journey.
