FSX doesn't even use DX12.

FS9 Jim.
TBH, that probably doesn't either...

No way of getting any useful logging information that I could use to try to diagnose the problem?

I know nothing about debugging software or processes and imagine anyway that you'd need a healthy setup for comparison. Fifteen or so years ago I used to make occasional use of Microsoft's sysinternals site:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...cess-utilities
There may be something useful there but that low level stuff is beyond me now.
Out of interest, what OS have you installed? If you have Win 10, do a few FS window changes and then take a look for errors in Event Viewer.
Also, did you manually install any versions of .net?

Tried running FS2004 with Event Viewer running but I didn't see anything untoward.Originally Posted by defaid
Two things I have noticed which could be significant:
1. My problem is specific to 2D panels: the Virtual Cockpit (on planes that have one) works normally, and
2. It isn't just switching between Windowed and Full Screen mode that redraws the gauges, resizing the panel window will also do it, as will closing then reopening it.
No I haven't: does FS2004 use .net for anything?

No. When I last used FS2004 the current OS was Win 98/7.Tried running FS2004 with Event Viewer running but I didn't see anything untoward.

Didn't use .net or DX12...

It may depend on what else you have installed. Some more stuff to think about...
Is your new FS9 installation still vanilla (I guess yes because I think all stock planes have a VC)?
Have you installed any addon planes (I guess as above)?
All gauges?
All planes?
Does other stuff in 2d panels update correctly on the fly (thinking throttle, mixture, flaps, trim wheel & caps)?
Are you running FS9 in parallel with or linked to any other apps?
Do you still have Defender running?
What happens to gauges in popup panels when you're using the VC (might narrow down to gauge rather than panel rather than view)?
Is the GPS's moving map working correctly?
Have you rebuilt FS9.cfg?
Or is your current copy one that's ported from a backup of your old installation?

Plain vanilla install: want to rule out any general issues before adding any third-party planes!
All gauges and planes seem affected.
No: nothing is updating
No.
I think my new PC has a trial version of some Norton antivirus software.
Just checked: it seems like the gauges work correctly in popup panels when in VC mode.
No, it's frozen just like all the other gauges.
No, just using the FS9.cfg initially created when FS2004 was installed.
Hope this helps,

Assuming the popup panels that work in VC still fail to work in 2d, it must be a fault related to the view. Given that the gauges update whenever the view is refreshed, that does suggest the fault is something external to FS9. Perhaps something is only running on demand when it should be running constantly, though that doesn't explain why it only happens in the 2d view.
Can you pull up a second window inside the VC? It's the [ key or the ] key by default. Does the fault persist in the secondary window while VC & popups work ok?
It could be something simple like a .dll that needs an update but then it's a new installation of OS & sim so they should all be up to date.
"... running on demand when it should be running constantly" or only running when it's permitted? Without wanting to seem condescending, have you tried disabling your anti-virus?
Beyond that, I'm out of ideas but there must be someone here who has a grasp of graphics & display drivers.
