have not used the 747 in  a bit, fs2crew prompted me to update, i did, and now the panel will not open,  I'm using a button on joystick mapped to autofeather on/off, like i always did but nothing, i also have enabled and disabled fs2crew

Did you mean to say that you disabled then enabled? If not, you need to enable.

Yes 🙂 had that backwards, cant figure this out, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the v1.4 and still nothing, cant get the main panel to open. This is p3dv4 btw

Is it possible my run time libraries are messed up?, when i did the full fresh install it never prompted me for that dx10 update page or runtime stuff it usually does.

let me know if this looks normal in the pmdg panel cfg for fs2crew entries

Assign Auto Feather Arm/off to the "N" key.

That's the best key to use.

 

Also, you can try opening the FS2Crew Main Panel manually via the VEHICLES - INSTRUMENT PANEL menu in P3D V4.

If it doesn't open there, then something is mucked up.

Okay I will try, not sure what the vehicles instrument panel is though. Is this in the manual? I will have a look. 

That's menu on the top of the P3D V4 screen when you're sitting in the cockpit.

In you're in full screen mode, press ALT to see the P3D in game menu.

Okay ya I figured it out lol, now all the panels open but they are just black. Not sure how to approach this. Thanks for your help btw 😀

A Black Panel means the FS2Crew gauge did not load.

Are you trying to use the FSX version in P3D V4?

No on the installer I selected p3dv4

Did the installer auto detect the correct location of P3D V4?

Let me run it again and check it out. 😀

Installer found the location, the system check shows all okay, not sure what happened, was working  fine before ii did the 1.4 update. I may try a fresh install of the 747, if  you think of anything thing else let me know, im off to work for a bit, i will keep you posted, thanks for your replies 🙂

Try doing a totally clean install of the PMDG 747.

Redownload from the PMDG website and use the PMDG updater to update.

Manually delete the PMDG 747 SimObjects folder if it's left over after uninstall.  That's important.

Do a test to ensure it's okay, and if it's okay then re-install FS2Crew.

It it worked before, it will work again.

Cheers,
