PMDG NGX SP1 : check before install...
Just a personnal comment
Update : I just reinstalled the aircraft, followed by the SP1. Everything is all right now, as smooth as before. Installing the SP1 over the several hotfixes was a bad idea.
Update : I just reinstalled the aircraft, followed by the SP1. Everything is all right now, as smooth as before. Installing the SP1 over the several hotfixes was a bad idea.
But, taking a look at PMDG's forum, i saw that some people are complaining about the SP1. Some of them are even experiencing crash to desktop. The SP1 was supposed to fix this. Dom.
New update 10/31 / very smooth aircraft tonight on my last flight from Paris CDG to London city.

Last post...but it was so much pleasure to do this blog !
Dear friends, regular readers, visitors, I have to announce you - with deep regret - that my blog is closing with immediate effect. I am more and more busy on my other life, as a professional journalist, and i cannot spend all the time requested for Airdailyx. After one year, i reached 1 700 pages view/day with some peaks at 2 500 and a total of 230 000 pagesviews. I deeply thank people from USA, UK, Germany, Spain, Netherlands who were my first readers every day.
I have learned many things on internet blog business, i improved my english (hmm not so much !) and got in touch with many high level professionals of the flight sim market.
It's the end of an experience, not the end of everything. You will read my posts times to times on forums and who knows, i might reappear someday.
I want to send all my gratitude to : Taloux (for his great illustrations), Ricardo from Latin VFR, Stanislaw from Drzewiecki Design, Boris Forero, Leandro and Carlo from Tropical Sim, Graham from Pacific Island Sim, Emilios from L.I.F., George and Martin from Fly Tampa, Terrence from McPhat, Laurent from France VFR, Jordi from Akesoft, Terry, Frederic Kabalu, all the good friends who followed the blog and helped me (Silverbird, Sante and so more..). Special thanks to Mathijs Kok, Steve Halpern, John Venema, Umberto Colapicchioni and Miguel Blaufuks (although i don't like Simf** ah who cares..).
Scenery design is a marvelous job and i will always be your first fan.
Dom Mason
PS : and a special thank to Francois "Navman" Dumas from FSADDON+, who taught me the basics of this business. Let's keep in touch.
