Error Message: Cannot Locate the CDROM. CD/DVD emulation software has been detected. Please disable all CD/DVD emulation software and restart the game.

You have received this message because emulation software or a virtual drive has been detected on your machine.

Typical emulation software includes Daemon Tools, Clone CD and Alcohol 120.

In order to play your game you must disable the emulator from trying to circumvent Safedisc.

Below is a list of instructions for how to do this in Alcohol 120, Clone CD and Daemon Tools:

If Alcohol 120% is on the machine:

Start Alcohol and go to the Emulation Options.

Select 'Emulation' from the options tree. Uncheck the 'Ignore Media Types' box to turn off the media type emulation.

Select "Extra Emulation" from the options tree. Uncheck the "BAD Sectors Emulation" to turn off this type of emulation, exit Alcohol 120% and restart the game.

If CloneCD is on the machine:

Look on your task bar at the bottom right of your screen (next to the clock). Locate the CloneCD tray icon, which can be a picture of two CD-ROMs or of a sheep's head. Right Click on the icon and make sure "Hide CD-R media" is un-ticked. Restart the game application.

Daemon Tools:

Right Click on the Damon Tools icon in the Task Bar.

Select the Emulation tab.

Deselect Safedisc.

Error -6001/-5001

This applies to either error - 6001 or - 5001.

Please go to Program files\common files\InstallShield\Professional\Runtime\ and delete either the 0701 or 0700 folder (or both). This should resolve the problem with running the update.

Whenever I try and load the aircraft, Flight Simulator crashes

Unfortunately it appears that there is a conflict between the Captain Sim 757 and this product. This conflict will cause Flight Simulator to crash upon attempting to load the 777.

FMC locks up related to vertical profile constraints entry - fixed

FMC Place-Bearing-Distance entry now accepts decimal point

Calculated takeoff V speeds now depend on OAT or assumed temperature, if entered.

DIRECT TO a runway CF fix causes immediate descent disregarding the MCP altitude - fixed

The FMC will no longer lock into descent phase when flaps are extended in climb.

FMC doesn't auto reset 30 seconds after landing - fixed

When coords are entered into FMC "ENTER INERTIAL POS" field, the last digits reset to zero - fixed

The PERF INIT page now accepts new cruise alt when in-flight.

Entering new DEST and executing changes on the RTE page now clears all route legs and reverts the AP to basic HDG HOLD + VS modes.

Initial VNAV descent speed is now the same as cruise speed.

ERASE prompt not displayed when DES NOW selected - fixed

Changing FMC destination airport will now change current FMC phase of flight to Climb

Setting aircraft on ground from flight using slew or FS "Go to airport" menu will now revert FMC phase to Pre-flight and reset the FMC route and performance data.

FMC route and performance data will now be reset 30 seconds after landing.

Entering a new cruise alt now re-activates Cruise phase of flight.

Entering a new cruise alt while in flight will always request the EXEC confirmation

Entering different DEST didn't display its name in DEST field until executed - fixed

Selecting APP with LOC active was arming LOC again - fixed

In FLCH mode, if the altitude selector is rotated thru the current altitude, the pitch mode will switch to V/S.

Selecting GA during approach didn't disarm FLARE and ROLLOUT - fixed

VNAV doesn't engage when flying at cruise alt - fixed

Yaw dampers now automatically engage above 200ft AGL and automatically disengage below that altitude

If assumed temp was used to derate the takeoff, this assumed temperature was mistakenly used instead of actual OAT to calculate the climb power afterwards, resulting in really poor climb performance - fixed

The green reference EPR limit indexes on the EICAS engine display are now replaced with magenta Commanded target EPR indexes when under VNAV.

TCAS Resolution advisories, aural and PFD guidance implemented

The FSUIPC offset for SquawkBox 3 Transponder Mode C is now set when the transponder selector is at XPNDR, TA ONLY or TA/RA. It is not set at ALT RPTG OFF position
