Until a few weeks ago I could download a cockpit photo from the internet and using paint, color all windows with the color black and save in bmp format. After creating the panel.cfg I could then use those files in an FS9 aircraft. Now when I complete that process, all I get is black windows - you can't see out of them. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a change in the paint app? I'm using windows 11. Thanks.

I solved the problem by reloading the software from the original cd's. I had already tried to solve by creation of the RunwayInfo folder and storing the two data files in it in the main FS9 directory. This alone did not solve the problem but I think the clean installation of FS9 from the CD's did by including a file (I don't know which file) that I hadn't included when I copied the FS9 directory from my old HD. Thanks for all your help. Bill Federle

I just got a new computer (Dell all-in-one computer desktop 27"). I first installed FS2004 on the 1TB hard drive dedicated for data. The program worked and I tried the runway info icon. The runway info window appeared and I tried to enter KLUK. When I pressed KBD, the line appeared in the window and when I typed "KLUK" the letters appeared. When I pressed the "enter" button the window display went blank - that is - the line and the letters "KLUK" disappeared. I tried re-installing the gauge, reinstalling FS2004 from the CD's and neither remedy worked. The problem is present in all aircraft the gauge is used in (just about all of them). Has anyone got any ideas?
