I recently upgraded to Windows 7 (64 bit) and an i5 processor to improve my performance while running NGX. I had to reinstall FSX and NGX as a result. My models (-800 and -900) come up OK and I can see the cockpit view, spot view, etc., but the initialization routine never runs and the panels aren't functional- knobs don't turn, throttles don't move, etc. Also none of the panels come up either by Shift+n or hidden spots. I have upgraded SP1, SP1b and SP 1c. Do I need a new install? My link has obviously expired, do I need to buy a new one? Thanks.

I had this problem too. For me even reinstalling didn't fix it. After much troubleshooting I realised that during an online ATC session I had changed the tail number of some of my NGX aircraft from the default. This stopped the aircraft initialisation routine when loading and resulted in the 2D panels being non functional

Have you successfully validated your planes? If you didn't get a message during the loading of the first flight then sonething went wrong during the installation. A reinstall would probably be the only solution. And don't forget to turn UAC off!

Thanks for responding guys. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no sucess.

 

GraemeBr- Do you remember what default tail numbers you used?

 

El Padrino- What is UAC?

Rick,

 

Send me a ticket at the link in my signature and I'll send you the list of things we usually have people check for with this.

I'm sorry Ryan, what is a ticket? Thanks for helping-

Ryan- Figured it out. I have submitted a ticket. Thanks.

To find the default tail numbers look in the directory for each affected aircraft livery. You will find a file named something like GVABA.ini . The root filename (in this example GVABA) is the tail number which should correspond to the entry in the ATC tail number menu which you can access via the multiplayer page in FSX.

G-VABA for example is the British Airways 738-WL
