Hi ...I have a problem with engine start switches and APU lately . I do all the Procedures and when I want to start my engine I say " start 4 &3" FO say starting 4 &3,.... but nothing happens(I mean he doesn't pull start switches) then he opens fuel levers(4&3) the same problem with APU when I say "APU OFF" he repeats but never complies .I've got this problem since I installed my windows updates but I am not sure they are relating to each other !windows 7 fs9.1fs2crew PMDG 747 voice commander latest version

thanks

So before you installed the Windows updates it worked?Is your command picked properly (as shown in the green bar)?Also be sure to double check the manual to ensure you're following all the steps.The issue may just be procedural.Cheers,

yes I think so . I flew with fs2crew near 200h and I didn't have any problem . as I remember for engine start fs2crew opens the Original overhead panel (I am not sure) but now it just opens mini panel witch doesn't have APU and start switches and goes for next step ! here is what I did in last 2 days :1-reinstall fs2crew2-reinstall PMDG 7473-reset fs keys 4-restore and set fs2crew keys by FS2Crew PMDG 747 Config Manager

and here is the problem :I checked my [window24] with one of our friends post here and I find out fs2crew Config Manager missed some lines in my panel.cfg ???!!!!! I don't know how it could be happen ???!!!! My panel.cfg :gauge00=PMDG_747400_Overhead!EECSystem, 0,0,490,296gauge01=PMDG_747400_Overhead!IRSSystem, 0,296,490,122gauge02=PMDG_747400_Overhead!HydraulicSystem, 0,866,490,222gauge03=PMDG_747400_Overhead!PneumaticSystem_F, 1118,572,482,517gauge04=PMDG_747400_Overhead!IceRainProtection, 490,962,628,127gauge05=PMDG_747400_Overhead!LightingSystem, 0,1089,1600,111gauge06=PMDG_747400_Overhead!FireControlSystem, 490,0,628,548gauge07=PMDG_747400_Overhead!PressurizationSystem, 1118,0,482,572The correct one :gauge00=PMDG_747400_Overhead!EECSystem, 0,0,490,296gauge01=PMDG_747400_Overhead!IRSSystem, 0,296,490,122gauge02=PMDG_747400_Overhead!ElectricalSystem, 0,418,490,448gauge03=PMDG_747400_Overhead!HydraulicSystem, 0,866,490,222gauge04=PMDG_747400_Overhead!PneumaticSystem, 1118,572,482,517gauge05=PMDG_747400_Overhead!IceRainProtection, 490,962,628,127gauge06=PMDG_747400_Overhead!LightingSystem, 0,1089,1600,111gauge07=PMDG_747400_Overhead!FireControlSystem, 490,0,628,548gauge08=PMDG_747400_Overhead!FuelSystem, 490,548,628,414gauge09=PMDG_747400_Overhead!PressurizationSystem, 1118,0,482,572every time I do this it misses those lines !

Hi,Which specific panel.cfg file is that?The FS2Crew CFG manager doesn't delete entries from the panel.cfg.Let me know.Thanks,

Thanks for replying

Can you please email me via the Contact page on the FS2Crew website.This would be easier to try to solve via a Remote Desktop.As for the 'black areas' on the Mini-Panel for the Overhead: that's deliberate. Those gauges cannot be loaded twice in the FS9 version (but not FSX).Best,

Thanks man Problem has been completely solved It was 100% my mistake . Why ? here it is : about 3 weeks ago I decided to move on FSX but after some test flight I didn't like it but I kept its Icon and save it in my fs9 folder(you know it is a nice one ) fs2crew for unknown reason thought I have FSX so it acted like FSX program !!!!!??? how it can be possible ?!!!! at last thank you for your replaying and sorry I waste your time for this issue

Glad you got it sorted!Cheers,
