Hello Pete, thanks for your swift and detailed reply. 1. First, here is the PMDG message, detailing their experience with such problems: We have several reports of the problem related to FSUIPC. Make sure you update to the latest version or contact Peter at http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html for additional help. Let me know if that doesn't fix your problem. Regards Paul Gollnick Manager - Technical/Customer Support Operations Precision Manuals Development Group http://www.precisionmanuals.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. The avionics master is on, as indicated by the VOR pointers on the analog RMI. The electric system is flight ready as indicated by its meter readings and appropriate advisory lights. 3. With my 38 year real world flight experience, I made sure I took all necessary steps prior to asking your help. The problem is still there under FS9, while under FS2002 everything is fine. I would really appreciate a way out if you have it. Thanks again. It sounds like you need to go through the correct procedure to get things going. This isn't an FSUIPC matter. Check the overhead panel. You need at least the batteries on to start with. Also, in case you have the avionics switch in FS off by default, go to a default FS aircraft which shows an avionics switch, and make sure the avionics are on BEFORE loading the 737NG. It may be loading with FS is a situation where the PMDG doesn't have an operable switch. These are only suggestions. With a complex fuly simulated cockpit like the PMDG series you do really need to study the manual. Also try asking others. I believe there is a PMDG forum? Sorry I cannot be more specific. Whilst I do have the PMDG 737NG series, I don't actually use their panels, but Project Magenta instead. Believe me, with pmSystems providing the overhead, it can be just as complicated to get things going until you know what you are doing! :wink: Regards, Pete

Hello, Since install, my FS9 PMDG 737NG main panel displays are blank and relevant switches do no move, stby horizon power off flag is displayed. No problem with FS2002 on same PC running XP Pro. PMDG support suggested latest FSUIPC version, so I updated from 3.411 to 3.44, to no avail. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
