Does anyone know how to save a state and return to it later? Trying to do the tutorial flight to klax, programmed FMC, set the MCP and other panels. I save the panel state in NGX, give it a name and it appears to save. But when I come back at a later date and try to load panel state the file name I saved it under, it doesn't appear in the list, only the list of default panel states (cold and dark, ngx long, etc). I also save the flight in fsx but when I load the flight I've lost all the nav data and panel states I loaded in. So what I'm asking is how do I come back to exactly where I left off? Starting to get a bit frustrated. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance. Sean

Sometimes when I save a panel state, and click EXEC, it saves the panel state, but when the "save panel state" page pops up again, its not showing "return to PMDG panel state option" on the lowest LSK. Thats when I save it one more time, just to make shure, and after its finished, i just click the MENU button. Try saving the same panel state two or three times before you go back to the menu.Also, did you check the "load panel state"-page to see if its there just after u saved?

Hit the "EXEC" button after giving state a file name, get message "saving panel state", then "successfully saved to .....". Then go to load panel state, and the file name doesn't show up. Sure it's something I'm doing wrong, just not sure what.

If it's not saving the panel state, then you are not running FSX as an Administrator by right-clicking when you start it...Or it could be something else, but that is usually what causes your problem.

Thanks Nick, that seems to have sorted it out. Before I spend the next half hour programming the fmc again though, does "save panel state" include everything programmed into the fmc?

If I remember offhand, it should. I recall someone saying they would save a flight mid-air, close FSX, and come back later and finish it. I'm pretty sure it does, but I've never tried.Glad you got it sorted.

Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow and hopefully it won't be an angry me. Thanks again!Sean
