First of all, thanks for the purchase. The freezes we have now on the 737 and other aircraft is known by ASEBO, many pilots are experiencing random CTD now with any aircraft and without using FSiPanel, for this, we need a fix of MSFS.
For the PMDG freeze, it seems to be related with a known issue on the FMC, have you tried to untick "Program FMC" in the options? changing destination on RTE page or updating cruise altitude freezes the aircraft again with or without FSiPanel.
I have found a way to work around this, I'm just waiting for Navigraph to issue a common release, FSiPanel will be using navigraph database for the approaches, which will also fix the localizer courses.

As said above, FSiPanel is not compatible with FENIX A320, to be compatible, I need approval from the FENIX developers which is still pending. Where did you find information that FSiPanel was or will be compatible with Fenix?

You requested a video of the PMDG 737-700 freezing when "Program FMC" is ticked. I have made the video (link below). Setup is a long final, KIAD 01R (FlightBeam). Please note that this is using the PMDG 737-700 version 3.0.20 and not 3.0.24 which PMDG released on June 23-24.

Hi Dan,

Many thanks for the video!
No freeze on that one? If you have freezes, have you tried with Program FMC unticked?
I think issue is coming from setting the cruise altitude in the FMC for some reason, I have even tried on normal flight without FSiPanel.
Next version will set the whole FMC but will leave the cruise altitude blank which could fix most of the CTD.

Cheers,

J-P,

The freeze is right at the end of the video, that’s why it stops. And yes, Program FMC is ticked since that was what you asked for earlier.

When I run it without Program FMC ticked it works normally.
