No in flight services

[Fishey...><>]

Well I finally have a CPU that can run my PMDG 747 in FSX Woo!! But It is nearly impossible to get it to work with FsPAX boo.
I am running Win7 Ultimate 64-bit with an i7950 @ 3.8, 6GB triple channel Mushkin, EVGA GTX285 and 2x WD Velciraptors (1 w/FSX 1 w/ OS) I am coming
from Vista 64bit and was able to run the 744 in Fs9 with FsPAX np.

Now it seems when I get off the ground I can not activate any services! I've tried both the hotkeys and the pull down menu, I can however turn the
music on? That really annoys the pax! Also I get the fuel warning error but not on every attempt. Even though it allows me to continue when I try to
use the pull down menu to feed the pax or to end the flight I get an error saying something about warping and the flight ends in failure!!

I have tried reinstalling twice and I can successfully complete flights with nearly all of my add-ons although I haven't tried the PMDG MD11 or PMDG
J41 yet. I have searched and found some posts on the fuel error but never saw one that mentioned loss of services.

I'm now seeing more and more errors with Windows 7 64-bit.

PMDG - Fuel & Services bug (described above)
PMDG&F1MD80 - I'm getting "FsPassenger location chage, FsPassengers flight abonted" Error.
Feelthere ERJ - FSX hangs when trying to close back to windows, I didn't write the error down but I'm pretty sure I can reproduce it. It said
something about A Cardinal?error in FsPassengers.

I have reinstalled 3 times now and each time I'm coming up with something new. I realize FsPax was not written for Win7 and since no one has responded to my first post is it time I take the hint and move on

I don't know if you've read through the forums here, but there are a few topics in which the order in which the add-ons have been installed has played
a huge part in ironing out a number of the 'bugs' found here - FSPax, if I recall, should be installed last. There are a number of threads regarding
the PMDG fueling issue which should still be pertinent whatever OS you're running.

As for people not responding to your first post, it may have been that no-one had the answer straight out and are looking into the problems or they
just simply didn't see it, given the number of new threads that can appear on a day.

whiskey-zulu, thanks for your response.

I have been a FsPax user since release with Fs9, and I late beta tested the FSX version. I also have accumulated 1836 hours with FsPax in both VA's &
privately and I never have had a problem that could not be solved by searching this forum, until now. The difference I moved from Vista 64 to Windows
7 64 Ultimate.
I have seen the posts about install order and have a good understanding of installation.

I have read about the PMDG problems and have followed the advice given but it still does not work. It also appears that some folks still have this problem with PMDG & FSX nearly a year later, I only mentioned it again becuase no one ever listed the services problem. I now realize the flight is over as soon as the fuel warning appears therefore the services are not working correctly is kind of a lingering effect to this.

The "FsPassenger location chage, FsPassengers flight abonted" error happened to me twice now, once in the PMDG 744X so I wrote it off to being part of the fuel bug. But then it happened in the F1 MD80 and on a clean install of FsPax.

The Feelthere problem is something I started seeing with Vista 64 and Fs9 using their 737, but I wrote it off to FT not supporting 64bit, and I never got an error message. With Win7 however i'm getting an error message that clearly states FsPax as a cause of the crash, as soon as I have time to recreate it I will post the error message.

I saw Dan's post about fixes coming in January and I thought it wise to report some problems in hopes there is either a quick fix for something I overlooked, or so it can at least be noted so it can be looked into.

I don't care much for your 'credentials' with FSPax - they mean nothing in this situation.

From what you say about your errors, and I'm assuming both the PMDG and the Flight1 have VNAV and LNAV in their autopilot? It may be that FSPX is
getting corrupted data from the flight planner and the LNAV selection from these birds, thus causing it to think you've jumped ahead.

How's your frame rate with those birds on the 64 bit system? As I have encountered this problem when the frame rate slips too low and the jumping
between frames makes FSPX think that you're trying to 'cheat'.

As for the fuel issue, from reading the posts on that since I joined the forum (and before hand as a guest user), it's hard to say whether anyone has
a clear handle on what is causing it exactly - for some the steps adivised work, for others, they do not.
