I know that the following entry is supposed to be in this .ini file:

[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

However, it is hard to make the entry when I cannot find the file. I've searched my C:/ drive and my D:/ drive (where MSFX is installed) but to no avail.

Thanks for any help.

Never mind ... that's because in the file (located in D:\MSFX\PMDG\PMDG 777X subdirectory) the name of the file is actually 777X_Options.ini.

The entry is ... as other threads have indicated:

[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

I figured I would piggy back this thread since this is what my mind initially went to: I have Norton and it decided that some PMDG components (including the operations center) are viruses. I had to go into the program to bring it out of containment. Just in case anybody else has that problem.

It actually is a problem a lot of pilots ask. For future reference, check the documents library for the fix.

That's what threw me ... the title of the document was 737 Modifying PMDG NGX Configuration File ... not the 777X ... here is the link:
