Ok, thanks for trying.Do you know the correct names for the panel state files?

NGX SHORT.fmc NGX SHORT.sav Both have 10/25/2011 5:36pm date and time. Are yours the same?

Yup, all the same here.I'm loading FSX again, I'll try the other files before opening a ticket.Thanks for the help.

No problem Tom, I am sure PMDG support will be helpful.

Sorry, just re-read the original post, yes the fmc locking up happens to me as well when I went to load the Cold & Dark panel states on my initial flights with the planes. Click the screen, 2d panel pops up, and close it and I was in business. Didn't affect the fmc for the flight. There are a couple posts on this already, I started one myself.

Just found your post now.Now I know how to overcome this, and others have raised a ticket, I won't take any more time from teh dev team.If a fix is made, I will install it, if not, I can run just fine as is.On the fuel issue, turned out to be a bad nav waypoint so that's sorted too.Still, 5 hrs on a 737, ouchThanks for the advice and help on this.

Glad you got it all sorted!

The bug causing this was found last night - will be fixed with an updated SP1 installer.
