'NG FMC and more" not recognized

[Hardy Heinlin]

Yes I have but it is cdu1c without the dash. I put the dash in but still no good.

Do not change it!

So you dont have the cdu_ jpg files. These are generated by the license file. I guess PSX cannot open the license file. Could you check Hans's tip?

In NextGenFmc.license properties it says Opens with Windows Explorer it that OK?

This entry tells your system which program should open a file type .license upon double click. Don't change it.

[Hardy Heinlin]

Maybe the Explorer selection will block the PSX access.

[B747-400]

Should not.
I changed it to Visual Studio Code for testing purpose few moments ago, PSX working fine!

I have cdu1 and cdu1c files

These are for CRT CDUs. The dash files are for LCD CDUs. Youll get them when PSX can access the license file. Could you check if the file is blocked?

I do not know how to do that.
I think I might just leave it at that and just carry on enjoying PSX 10.172.  
Thank you for your time and may you have a Happy Christmas.

I received an email from a kind gentleman from the company that I bought the NG FMC and more while he was on holiday and he returned to find my email for help and this is what he said: 
 
"I poked around with PSX and the license file this morning and might be able to solve the problem.
Place the NextGenFmc.license.zip file in your extras folder.
In windows explorer make sure you have the tick next to "file name extensions" in the view tab selected.
Right click the name of the file and remove the .zip from the end of the file. It will then be named NextGenFmc.license
Restart your psx and check in about and it should now be green.
Please let me know how you go".

I can imagine your relief and joy after so long. Good flights.

Do they sell the file as NextGenFmc.license.zip? They should not do this. This disagrees with the installation instruction in the manual.

It makes no sense to zip this file. It is already compressed.

[JG]

G'day Hardy, yep that's how it downloaded.

Some servers do not allow files to be downloaded unless they have a .zip extension. I have had to add a .zip extension to some files as they are seen as potential trojans otherwise (particularly .jpg/.jpeg files).

I can understand why it is there, but the download page should advise to remove the .zip extension...

Alex....that does make sense, it had me thinking I was stupid for a while there though.
