P3D V4 panel state not loading with saved 737NGX scenarios

[Papa Golf 22]

Hi,

I'm running the latest version of both P3D v4 and the PDMG 737NGX (1.20.8413). Everything is working great, except for a couple of things:

a) When loading a saved scenario/flight, the aircraft loads and is in-flight, but the display panels (e.g. PFD, ND & FMC) are all dark/blank.
b) The PMDG tutorial flights are not listed in the Load Scenario window (e.g. PMDG 737NGX Tutorial #2 EHAM-LOWI)

I also have the PMDG 777 and saved scenarios/flights load without any issue, all the displays are fine etc.

The 737 panels states are all saved in D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState and each saved flight has 3 files like:

737-800 Air France - Charles se Gaulle LFPG 27L approach.fxml.0.rte
737-800 Air France - Charles se Gaulle LFPG 27L approach.fxml.fmc
737-800 Air France - Charles se Gaulle LFPG 27L approach.fxml.sav

The PMDG tutorial panel states are also stored here (e.g. PMDG 737NGX Tutorial #2 EHAM-LOWI.fxml....)

If I load up the 737 from scratch as a new scenario, in the FMS, under PMDG Setup > Panel State Load, the saved panel states are all listed and can be loaded successfully, but of course, I'm on the ground.

Scenarios/flights are saved in: D:\Users\<username>\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files where each flight has 2 files like:

737-800 Air France - Charles se Gaulle LFPG 27L approach.fxml
737-800 Air France - Charles se Gaulle LFPG 27L approach.wx

There are no PMDG Tutorial flights in this directory, which I appreciate explains why they are not appearing in the Load Scenario window, but I would like to know is it just my installation, or are they missing for everyone?

Duh!!! Apologies. Just realised the saved flights panels DO work. I have to:

• Start P3D.
• From the startup scenario screen, select the PMDG 737 and start the new scenario
• Once the aircraft has Initialised All Systems, in the P3D menu, select Scenarios > Load and load the saved scenario I want

I've tried this 3 times now and it just works. Problem solved!

When you to that, are the scenarios that PMDG provides for Tutorial #2 there?
