I have W7, FSX w/ SP1 & SP2 installedI purchased the Full Download Version (the version that says its good for W7) from the WilcoPub Website, and then purchased the Upgrade (because I read in a forum that should work, but it didn't).My problem is that none of the switches work. Its just like clicking on a picture... Can anyone help? Thank you so much in advance!! _____________________________________________ Mark Bott

Since I've done that, it works fine. I think I posted about this several months ago on this board, with quotes from the FT forum on how to make it all work....here is the post: http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...5&hl=PIC737Good luck!

May 10, 201016 yr I've had the same problem. I tried every solution offered. I even reinstalled FSX. Nothing I have tried has worked. The 737 works on some Windows7 computers and not on others.

When the dll.xml gets corrupted (or other problems occur), some things disappear from that menu. I normally have 8 or so items so if I see that there's only 2, I know something is wonky and not everything is loaded properly. Also check the Wilco forums (http://forum.iemit.com/) and the old forum there (iemit.com/forum) for similar posts. I've seen it there several times with a variety of suggestions.
May 10, 201016 yr did you right click on the installer and select "Run as Administrator"?Did you run the configuration manager after installing?
May 10, 201016 yr Author did you right click on the installer and select "Run as Administrator"?Did you run the configuration manager after installing?Yes I ran the installer as Administrator and yes I have run the config manager...I just cannot figure this one out... _____________________________________________ Mark Bott
May 10, 201016 yr Yes I ran the installer as Administrator and yes I have run the config manager...I just cannot figure this one out...Not sure you can ask for a refund but you could try.Get rid of that * and wait for the pmdg one.Should be out some time soon.
May 10, 201016 yr They aren't the same thing, the Wilco is the classic 737 series, -300 to -500 models
May 10, 201016 yr Author Not sure you can ask for a refund but you could try.Get rid of that * and wait for the pmdg one.Should be out some time soon.That was my original plan, but I needed a 737 for my VA and I am too spoiled with other payware (like the LevelD) to revert back to the default aircraft... I have seen in some other forums that FSINN maybe the culprit... I haven't used squawkbox, and I can't believe that these two addons conflict with eachother... I was so happy with the ERJ package that Wilco/Feelthere put out, but I gotta tell ya, I am extrememly dissapointed with the 737PIC and its support. Not to get too far off topic, but when I went in search of a solution on the Feelthere forums, I was really surprised with the lack of "effort" put forth to solve a problem that many people have had so far... The solutions are confusing and offer different results to different people with the same issue. Not to mention the fact, that after I downloaded the full version (the one that specifically says it works with W7), I was then told to download the Upgrade (an additional $10)... With no luck... _____________________________________________ Mark Bott
May 10, 201016 yr I've never had any problems with the Wilco 737 in XP, Vista x64 or W7 x64 but I always have installed the 737 before any of my other Wilco/FT products (Airbus Vol 1&2, ERJ v2 and EMB). Perhaps uninstalling and removing any leftover files for all Wilco/FT stuff and the reinstalling starting with the 737 and Vista/W7 compatibility pack may work.Good luckPhil Asus Maximus Hero XI , i7-8086, 16 Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 1080 ti

Make sure it is properly installed (shows up in the Addon section of the Menu bar). You may have to restart the 737.exe and do a repair plus any upgrades.Best regards,Jim
May 10, 201016 yr Author Thank you all for your suggestions... I will try them tonight and report back... If anyone else has any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!Thank you!! _____________________________________________ Mark Bott
May 11, 201016 yr Author Well, turned out to be a disagreement between the PIC and FSINN... I uninstalled FSINN and installed SB4, and now the cockpit is now clickable... ridiculous that I can't use FSINN... _____________________________________________ Mark Bott
