I'm receiving a message in "ACARS PMDG 737 NGX is incorrectly configured in 737NGX_options.ini". Would that be in the ACARS.ini or pmdg's .ini? Any thoughts or suggestions? It seems to also cause constant pauses while in flight about every 6-10 seconds that last 3/4 seconds... I only get those pauses when flying the 737 with the DVA ACARS app running. Thanks for any help you can provide...

You seem to be missing the following entry in the .ini file:
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

Have a look at https://www.deltava.org/library/b737%20modifying%20pmdg%20ngx%20configuration%20file.pdf

All of that said, I can't verify the lack of that entry is causing the pausing in your sim

John, just as an FYI, that document applies not only to the PMDG 737, but the PMDG 777 as well. You'll find a similar .INI file under the 777 directory.

I am having the same issue. When trying to edit the config I put in the
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

Then go to save it and I get a pop up that says "access denied"

Any thoughts? I am the admin user on the system.. frown
