This is a new install with FSX SP2. Latest version downloaded and I never installed the earlier version of FSX 747.I note that the flaps do not extend or retract but the "supports" below the flaps do. The leading edge flaps do not extend either. Both outboard ailerons droop and do not move but the inboard ailerons and also the elevators do work.In the cockpit there is indication of flaps extending.Any help appreciated.I used the default cold and dark and got everything going.Greg

Check to see if advanced animations are checked in the FSX options.

Mike,Right on that solved it.ThanksGreg
