Hi there, I've downloaded Desk Pilot some days ago to share my cockpit with a friend. Since the stock FSX multiplayer went offline, we downloaded LogMeIn Hamachi and Join FS to connect each other. We were able to connect but, when we start the two programs above and Desk Pilot the two airplanes are not "synchronized". I mean, when I start the push-back, my friend's aircraft remains stop, and only few switches are synchronized and my co-pilot is the only person that can control all the switches of the cockpit by using Desk Pilot (first officer) insted, I repeat, when the captain selects some some switches, only few of them are synchronized. I've really search a lot around the Internet, forums and tutorials, but I'm not able to find a solution to this. Thank you very much in advance for all your help. Cheers, Pietro from Italy.

Oh, thank you very much guys! :D I've never noticed this option before... Since we're at it, can something be done also about the audio that stops when the window changes? Thank you very much again! :o Pietro.

Hi everyone, I don't know if there's a solution to this problem but I will try to describe it anyway. During my flight sessions, I use a combination of two monitors: in the main monitor is running FSX, I specify, in window mode, and in the other one are running some different programs such as a checklist for the airplane, a moving map, etc... The problem is that during the flight (also in the ground, obviously :)) when I press with the mouse something that is in the secondary monitor, FSX always pauses and I continuously have to press any point in the main monitor where is running FSX and then press "P" to resume the flight. I've been looking for a lot on the internet but I can't find any solutions to my problem, it's like FSX isn't always running in "foreground": I've indeed tried to put FSX in window mode but nothing.. Is there a solution to this annoying problem? Thank you very much in advance! Pietro.

Thank you very much for your useful answer! :) I'll try as soon as possible to execute your instructions and the I'll let you know. Thanks again, Pietro

Hi, thanks for the reply! anyway yes, this problem occurs when I try to put any add-on panel into a TDS aircraft. I've noticed that this problem doesn't occur when I put an add-on panel into an other aircraft (not a TDS). So, can you explain me exactly the steps to do to solve this annoying problem with these TDS aircraft? Thanks again, Pietro

Hi, I've already tried to contact the panel's developer, as soon as the problem has occured, but I haven't received any answer yet. Anyway, I'll try to replace this panel with another one with the hope that It won't give problems but, as I've already said, this problems occurs with any add-on panel in any aircraft... :(

Hi, Yes of course, I always make sure that a panel has done for FS2004 and for the aircraft that I've installed. In fact, I'm rather shocked too!

I wanted to say that this problem occurs when I install any add-on panel for any aircraft.

Thanks whitegn for the reply. Anyhow, I'd like to say that this problem occurs when I install an external panel in every aircraft replacing the original panel, not only in this case. And the problem is always the same!

Hi jgf, thank you for the reply! So, my add-on panel has got a "Panel.cfg" file so, as you said, I can modify some values. Well, I try modify something also taking a look at the post that you linked. Thank you, I'll let you know as soon as possible. Pietro

Well, thanks mrzippy for the quick reply. So with the original panel, the lights work perfectly. For instance, when I turn on the beacon light from the cockpit, in the aircraft the beacon light turns on and works well. And for all the lights, with the original panel, is the same situation; I turn on a light from the cockpit, and the light in the aircraft turns on (it's proportionate, it blinks correctly (e.g. strobo light) and all the rest). So with the original panel I haven't got any type of problem. With an "external" panel, I've got the issue described on the original post: disproportionate lights, some lights remain off (beacon) and other type of problems. Thanks in advance. Pietro.

Goodmorning everyone, recently, i've downloaded an aircraft called "b7378pn3" (B737-800), and i've also downloaded a panel for this aircraft. As soon as I had installed the panel, I noticed some problems with the aircraft's lights; for instance, with the new panel, the beacon lights on the aircraft don't turn on, the navigation light are disproportionately big and the tail and strobo lights don't work properly (the tail light don't work and the strobo lights have several issue). I've tried to check some parameters of the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg to try to understand the problem, because I can't see a connection between the aircraft's lights and installing a new panel. I hope that someone can help me! Thank You in advance. Pietro
