Hello, since noone answered my post in the FS2004, I thought I'd try getting help from you guys since you know a bunch about panels.

I have the great freeware iFly 747. After installing the receantly released service pack 3, my VC gauges stop working. (only the screens, PFD, EICAS, FMC, steam gauges and dials work fine).

VC:

2D:

I contacted the designer and their suggestion so far was to cycle views. I do understand in some planes, if you start the flight in the VC, gauges won't show until you cycle through the 2D panel. However, this is not the case here, as I've tried starting the flight from 2d, cycling views over and over, reinstalling plane and patch, changing my graphics card settings... I'm out of ideas.

This plane is truly awsome, and this last patch adds and fixes so many things it's not worth flying without them.

Can anyone help?

PS: I haven't been able to comfirm if it's just me, or the patch itself, since no one has answered my post.

Thank you

Ok, I have narrowed it down to a gauge problem.

The panel.cfg entries for sp 3 are identical to sp 2. So the problem lies in the .gau file itself. Now, the question is, what would make a gauge not display in the VC on my computer?

I have an ATI X1800XT 512, tomorrow I'll see if there are catalyst driver updates and try that...
