PMDG MD-11
software scan every file that FS accesses. This will only slow you down,
so exclude your FS directory from active scanning.
Anti-Virus Concerns #2:
All PMDG software is thoroughly checked for viral protection prior to being
made available for public distribution. In addition, the files that reside on
our server are subject to continual scanning and protection.
Occasionally during the past five years we have had customers contact us
with concern that their email scanner had erroneously flagged a DLL or file
as being viral. In theory this should never happen, but
occasionally
some
tweak or error in the A/V software database update will cause such false
positives on various software running on any machine.
If you ever experience this problem, please let us know, and also please
let you’re A/V software vendor know so that they can make adjustments.
Strange FSX visual artifacts after flight reload:
During testing of the PMDG 747-400, we reported to Microsoft that if a
user loads an aircraft that uses advanced animations such as the 747-400
or MD-11, then the user cannot re-load this airplane without causing the
simulation to fail.
For example, if you select the GE powered MD-11 passenger aircraft from
the livery menu, and you then load a different livery that also uses the GE
powered MD-11 passenger aircraft, the simulation will fail to initialize the
MD-11 properly during load.
You can tell that this has happened if you see black smoke trailing out of
the engines for no apparent reason and if the switch and button
animations in the virtual cockpit are frozen or not present.
The only way to fix this is to never load the same engine/airplane
combination twice in a row.
If you accidentally load the same combination more than once, you must
restart the simulator to clear the problem.
NOTE: This is a problem within FSX, and is not something PMDG can fix
without the input of the FSX development team!
