You have to sign a full name in this forum, especially to solve a problem of your nature. Assuming the installation validation was good, and you are loading a new flight from create a flight with engines running and all electrical turned on, try uninstalling and remove and PMDG folders and reinstall.You can't "write" to pmdg, direct support is available at their web site at the support portal where you open a trouble ticket. They will respond to that.

Have unisntalled the PMDG 737NG.Reinstall with XP SP2 compatibility mode ans administrator rights : STILL BLANK !!I don't know what to do..Maybe it's a parameter with FSUIPC...

Hi Richard, I see the statements of "TRUE INSTALL!" etc... but as Dan said you need to contact support via the web portal and open a support ticket, they will not answer to emails without it. It is not a parameter of FSUIPC, it is a Validation issue seen is cracked copies (ok, unsuccesfully cracked copies).So as long as you open that ticket and are supply correct name here (The name that you placed your actual order with), then you will certainly get support here.

Hi Richard,Do you have other add-ons (mainly planes) in your system? Also, I am confused when you say you "follow all the right procedures". Could you post a view of your overhead panel?Here are a few ideas/things to check - sorry if they look obvious but sometimes it's the simple things that do you in.- Start from the default cessa, cold and dark. If you do that, DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH. Then load the NG;- Sometimes, the NG will load with engines running and nothing else. Try to shut down the engines (using the fuel cuttofs below the throttles) and then try the complete start procedure from cold and dark.Finally you could try to remove (or save under a different name) the FS9.cfg file and let fs9 buid a new one. But frankly, if you have no problem with the other aircraft in FS9, I don't know if this is useful.Hope this helps,Brunops 1 : I haven't got Win7 so if there are specific problems with it, I am not aware of them but I believe many simmers are using it with the NG without trouble. See however the post below recommending to run in administrator mode.ps 2 : I don't remember by hart but isn't the latest version 1.4 (with the latest patch from PMDG)?

Without any system specs or driver details (for the GPU) it is difficult to figure out what is wrong. The possibility of not having the proper GPU could be part of the problem. Posting at least a DxDiag.txt file would help.

That's itNVidia 8800 GTS.Absolutely no problem with ALL the other airplanes.The 737 PMDG is the only one with PB.

What resolution are you running at? Are the panels black when running full screen instead of windowed? Have you tried resizing the window?

Yes already tried changing resolution and also switch full screen to windowed & vice - versa...My native resolution is 1920 X 1200, tried 1024x768 - 1600x1200.==> STILL BLANK

 Have you turned on the generators? It appears that you have not done so.

Good question...In the view you (Richard) posted, they seem to be in the OFF position. And one cannot see if the battery switch is on of off. Also, there are other swiches that, according to standard operating procedure, should be on but aren't. Bruno

I think the better solution is that you post a capture of YOUR overhead panel with all switch in the right position.Maybe my tutorials are wrong.

Here are some pics of my 2d panel and overhead. Note, I start with a running C172 at FS startup. Did you save a cold and dark 737 set up as the default flight? Not having the C172 load up as a default flight can cause problems for add-on aircraft.
