I am having some problems with Eric's A320 panel in FS2004. Let me start by saying that I have read all the FAQ's on Erics site and my problem is not mentioned anywhere. I am running the panel in a IFDG A321. I have had the panel working fine a couple of times now but my problem is something intermitant, sometimes when I load the panel I get a view of the upper panel and the outside view from the cockpit is looking up an the ground is not visable. The kneeboard opens up by itself and the flaps are moving continually by themselves. The spot plane view is circling the plane and I am unable to stop it from rotating. If I try to load another aircraft the same problems are transfered to the newly chosen aircraft. The only way to fix the problem is to restart FS2004. This problem only occurs with Erics panel but the few times I have been able to use the panel I found it to be fantastic, so I would like to fix this problem. Here is a shot of the 2D panel after loading, kneeboard opens by itself. You can see that the view outside the cockpit is elevated, this is not able to be corrected.Outside view 2D panel without panel visable, again view is elevated.Here is the outside view of the VC panel again kneeboard is still there and I am unable to close.If anyone can help me, please send me a note. Thank you.

Could someone who is using Erics A320 panel with a IFDG A320/A321 or PA's A320 please send me a copy of the panel.CFG. I have run out of ideas on fixing my problem. I figure that is in the panel.CFG or the aircraft.CFG.

This sounds like your joystick/yoke/other control device is malfunctioning big time. It sounds like a severe case of noise in the cable, sending erroneous commands to the sim. If the flight controls of the aircraft are not affected, it could be a number of bad buttons on the stick (hat switch sending of commands to cycle views, button for flaps repeatedly sending command etc).There's nothing in the panel that could cause anything remotely similar to this. Further proof that your control device is at fault is that you mention the problem continues when you switch to a differant aircraft (I'm assuming one that doesn't use Eric's panel).Joe Wagner

Thank you Joe for your response but I don't think that it is my answer. The problem only exists when I try to load Erics panel. If I start by loading another panel I have no problems, but if I load Erics panel and then try to load another panel the problem carries over. This problem has only surfaced since loading Erics panel.
