Hello all, I have been flying your 744 (pax version) for a pretty long while now and thought I would get the 744F to expand my horizons into the cargo world (PANC), but on first shot when loading it into the sim, everthing is up and running, but then, after a minute or two, it all (CRT panels) goes black, but all the controls work, and the FMC is still operative. Does this have to do with the updated version? I remember reading that the update was for better VC FPS and that when you used a certain panel (dont remember which) it blanked the other screens out. So any help here would be appreciated :] Thanks! Curt Specs = 2.8Ghz P4 2GB RAM ATI X800 256MB FS9.1 WinXP

Curt-If the CRTs go blank- it indicates that something has tripped the license protection on that airplane. (PAX and 400F are each unique...)I would suggest re-running the installer and revalidating. The installer may require you to remove the 400F prior to reinstalling.

ok, thanks a bunch :] i will try re-downloading/installing tomarrow
