I have both P3Dv2.3 and FSX installed and I have the CS 777-200 (FSX and P3Dv2 versions) and I have no problems at all with the CS 777-200, -300 or Freighter, in P3Dv2. They work just fine.

OK, that dispels that theory.

It might depend on where you have FSX and P3Dv2 installed. Mine are: FSX is installed in J:\Flight Simulator X (1st partition of the 3rd HDD (*1TB)) P3Dv2 is installed in H:\Prepar3D v2 (3rd partition of the 2nd HDD (2TB)) So they are (1) NOT in the C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), (2) they are not even installed on the C: drive, and (3) they are not installed on the same partitions (in fact they are both on different partitions, on different HDD's).

I have FSX and P3D both installed in D:\PROGRAM FILES

You think this might be my issue?

At one time, I had both FSX and P3Dv2 on the same drive and on the same partition (J:), and the Captain Sim 777 for P3Dv2 worked fine for me then too. :)

OK maybe we can dispel that theory as well.  Hmmm...

[edit]And one more thing. Both FSx and P3Dv2 are always run using 'Run as administrator'![/edit]

I suppose.  I'll check this but I can tell you this has not had an effect on anything else so far.  Probably I already AM running P3D as admin, otherwise there would be other problems with so many other addons installed.

Anyway guys all this is useful discourse for me, as well as for others potentially, that run into the same issues.  Thanks for all the effort and ideas, I certainly appreciate it.

I guess my choices are to live with this and try to run CS777 in Legacy Mode (which I am loath to do) or wait for a holiday sale and hope I can pick up the P3D version of this for less.  Or just remove it altogether and try to forget.
