Hi. 1st off, you guys are phenomenal. I just bought the B744 today and it is a masterpiece.

 

The problem I'm having is despite the switches, dials and buttons working, the little green and white lights on them do not illuminate after the buttons are activated. For example, the CMD, V/S, Heading Hold buttons among others have no light on them.

 

To add to that, all of the models seem to have strange yellow and white text that randomly appear on the actual overhead panel buttons themselves.

 

Is there a way to fix this?

Can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing?

That's a fairly odd resolution. What kind of computer and monitor is this?

It's an old, ViewSonic low res monitor without HD capabilities. My LG was damaged so I used this one as a temporary replacement but haven't bothered to change it yet. I don't have this problem with the NGX or 777 or any other aircraft on FSX. This is exclusive to the 744.

Sorry to prompt but what could be the problem? It's not the system nor the monitor. It's exclusively with the B744. Has this happened to anyone before? I can't wait to fly this bird properly and it works fine apart from the lights on the buttons as well as the font being enlarged.

FIXED. It turns out activating the PMDG_Interface.dll file was what caused the issue. Not sure why a PMDG file would cause an issue but not activating it upon startup solved the issue above. Thanks me!

i am having the same issues, have a open ticket regarding it so lets see what the cause and fix. btw did u rename the DLL file? thanks

No what I did initially was backup the FSX.cfg file, delete it in the roaming/microsoft/fsx folder and have FSX rebuild a new CFG file then chose not to activate the PMDG_Interface.dll on startup.

 

Problem I faced doing that however was that some old problems with the sim came back. Like using the menues too much would eventually see the plane disappear partially or completely and the scenery would be screwed up too. So now I've just deleted every trace of it in the dll.xml and the fsx.cfg

hmmm, any issues with other pmdg aircraft after deleting that DLL? Thanks again for your help

No everything's still running perfectly
