January 25, 201214 yr Alright, so this is a problem that I've heard one or two other people have had that has left me completely clueless.A while back (incidentally, immediately after I installed SP1b), I started seeing this strange problem with the NGX in the virtual cockpit view. Basically, a lot of gauges, knobs, and switches don't work. The list (or at least, the list of observed gauges that don't work)1. Battery switch2. Most lights3. The MCP4. Frequency tuning knobs5. Most of the pressurization and climate control panel6. A few others that I forgot (posting from a different computer right now)When I mouseover, wheel or click on the switches/knobs/buttons, the cursor appears as it should (for example, if I scroll over the heading selecter, it displays the up or down arrow with a + or -), but nothing actually happens. There is no "action" (for lack of a better term) being registered by FSX, the NGX, or anything. The 2D panel works completely fine with no problems.Initially I figured this was an issue with SP1B, but that's not the case, as I found out after a reinstall, including using the old install file from before SP1 that I had and used. I also tried a full reinstall of FSX, which did not work. I tried all of the normal fixes that come up for similar problems (reset viewpoint, etc.), some several times. PMDG support suggested that the next step would be a complete reinstall of Windows 7. There's no way I'm going to reinstall my entire OS over something simple like this. So my questions are:1. Has anyone else seen this problem?2. Are there any known solutions. Aaron Z. Magic: the Gathering and Flight Sim are two very expensive hobbies to have. Just saying.
January 25, 201214 yr Author One other detail I neglected to mention: While normally I wait for cockpit initialization to complete before touching anything, I did try using gauges before this completed and, interestingly, at least a few of these gauges work until a few seconds into the cockpit initialization "countdown." I don't know if this helps, but it was very interesting to me. Aaron Z. Magic: the Gathering and Flight Sim are two very expensive hobbies to have. Just saying.
January 26, 201214 yr I ran into this problem at some point in the past. I am running EZCA and through tial and error I found that my seat position was ever-so slightly too far forward. When I moved myself back all worked fine. Jeff Johnson (RWS)
