Hi, I am a new user of PF3 and appear to have a number of (related/unrelated?) installation-problems that, so far, have prevented me from progressing to Clearance. These problems exist whether I run PF3 on the FS machine or on a WIDEFS7 client.
I run P3D V4 with a PMDG 737NGX on Windows 10 machines and am a pretty experienced Simmer and technically competent in IT/Windows 10 etc.
I may be missing something obvious, since I am familiar with a different ATC product and this may be misleading me.
Problems:
1. I can load a flightplan (from PFPX) into PF3 and connect to P3D. PF3 Displayer and Remote Text also appear to be connected. With the PMDG 737 at a gate at the Departure airport, with the FMC loaded with the flightplan and the radios active, I cannot get a response to key "0" from any COM1 or COM2 frequency. The Displayer shows no frequencies - all set to zero, despite the two green lights. ATIS frequency scrolls the P3D ATIS info, despite the PF3 option box setting. I guess it seems that I have connection between PF3 and P3d V4 but no data transfer.
2. When I click to disconnect Pf3 I get the message "Waiting to Disconnect to complete ..." but this never completes. If I then click the "x" to close and restart I get the insufficient hotkey slots message and I have to close P3D and reload.
3. Sometimes on loading PF3 and connecting to P3D V4 I get the "run register.exe" message. I run it but this message persistes, reqwuiring me to reinstall PF3 to start over.
I'd appreciate some help. Many thanks
