August 16, 201114 yr Author Ok the problem only exists when I open it up in VC mode(s). When in cockit mode where it is like you looking out the window, it works like a charm. Oliver Benton
December 4, 201114 yr Bump. Any news from PMDG on this? Are there any logs I can provide or further testing I can do to help get a fix for this?
December 4, 201114 yr Commercial Member This is not a bug and it's come up many times since release. You cannot open the main 2D panel while in the VC view - only the popups. I'm not going into why again, but it has to do with how our display/gauge system works. Just switch to the actual 2D "Cockpit" view if you want to use 2D.

December 4, 201114 yr In FSX settings I have set the 2D Cockpit as the default to come up and from the 2D Cockpit I press F9 to go the VC and press F10 to go back to the 2D Cockpit.Michael Cubine Michael Cubine

Just switch to the actual 2D "Cockpit" view if you want to use 2D.Okay...here's a "kicker" for you then:I'm using a multi-monitor set-up with a 37" LCD-TV up top for my main view and 2 22" monitors (running off a Matrox Dual-Head-2-Go) down below for instruments. What I'd like to be able to do is have the VC up top on the main view (so that I can have the view out of the windscreen, along with the HUD, etc) and the 2D panel stretched out across the lower monitors so that I have my instrumentation in view at all times - as well as the FMC & radio panel. Let's face it...using the MCP in the VC really isn't all that practical - and not all of us have the cash to drop on a GoFlight or VRInsight unit.I used to use this type of configuration when flying with the PMDG 737NG in FS2004 and never really had a problem.Jeff Walker ________________________ My Rig: Gateway FX6860 i7-2600 3.4 GHZ 8GB RAM ATI Radeon HD6750 Windows 7 Home 64 bit
April 24, 201412 yr Hello, Is this problem allready solved and so yes HOW. Because I have the same problem
June 11, 201411 yr Commercial Member Read the thread, guys. It can be an activation problem (if you've disabled FlexNET, the plane might not initialize). Don't use SHIFT+1 to pull up the 2D view. Either use the 2D view in the 2D panel view, or use the VC - don't try to load the 2D panel into any other view. I think there are other ideas if you just scroll up and read them... Kyle Rodgers
