Alex,Before you reinstall, please try to load your default Cessna as suggested before, that will save your day. This comes from your default Cessna situation (battery and avionics)and for that PSS does not differ from the other sophisticated addons existing, you must load your default MSFS plane first. Alternatively if you have hardware with commands for battery and avionics, then you have to make sure that your battery is active on your hardware (switched on).Happy landings.

I've never had to load the cessna first before flying any airplane and don't see why I would suddenly have to now?

Alot of aircraft out there including payware suggest loading the cessna first . Especially to get the aircraft into certain procedures or Cold and Dark situations. Some would even say start with your default flight which should be in KSEA with the cessna on the active. As PSS has stated before alot of aircraft problems are associated with having the default flight messed up or not having one all together. It doesn't have any effect on FPS or Ram to start with the Cessna and then switch to your current A/C

I am confused, I have my default flight saved as the default cessna... but I never have had to actually load that cessna in the game then go to the menu in-game to change aircraft like some have suggested.

In FS2004 Display settings, under Aircraft tab, make sure "Landing Lights" box is checked, and in the Hardware tab make sure "Transform and Lighting" tab is checked. I recently saw a problem where the Captain Sim C-130 lights didn't work, and it turned out to be that something had changed that first setting.If you didn't try loading an unmodified default aircraft first and switching to the 777, then there's also no way of telling what strange electrical bus or lighting settings are left over and being loaded from the last.flt file.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

Hey guys,Is there no 2 stage lighting in the T7? I would love to have the glareshield lights off but the instrument lights (green lights) on. I don't know if the real T7 does that but on long night flights sometimes I like the glareshield lights off.Any ideas?Thanks in advance,-Paul

So I looked at the known issues topic and this was not in there, can someone help me figure out whats wrong? Would this have something to do with my default saved flight using the default cessna but having the battery switch off?

I have had discussions today with John and he has given a list of all files installed for the 777 and their respective locations. I'd suggest uninstalling and removing all the files as listed then reinstalling. I'm trying this tonight as it's my only hope, I do everything else 'correctly' as per the suggestions made by other users and PSS themselves.
