As a retired corp jet driver, I have enjoyed the Longitude in FS2024 very much. The last 6 months, sim has been gathering dust since I had major shoulder surgery. I'm 90% back now and when I fired the sim up and loaded the Longitude, no panel what so ever. Suggestions appreciated.

When you say "No panel whatsoever" do you mean the aircraft loads with the physical panel asset missing, or that the panel is there but with no display?

Check your Community folder for any mods to the Longitude (there are a few out there) that may now be incompatible, due to recent service updates.

Did you load the Longitude cold and dark, or on the runway, ready to fly? If the former, try a load onto the runway, to see if the panels work in that configuration.

Check if start a flight without a walkaround in “Free Flight” mode is on. Find this new option in the assistance settings.

Turn off and start a new flight.

Had you downloaded the aircraft to your drive or are you streaming it? I tried loading the TBM 930 yesterday and it was all pink textures. I uninstalled the it in the marketplce section so it went bank to streaming it and it then loaded fine. I think that sometimes the downloaded assets get out of date but don't trigger an update warning. If you haven't used the sim for months you may have missed out on updates.

No physical panel. I hadn't installed any Longitude mods. I've tried loading cold & dark and ready to fly with no change. Question: Since FS installation had zero use for 6 months prior to this, would automatic updates screw things up. I don't see half the birds in the menu as I used to. The original installation was for the Deluxe version straight from MS web site shortly after 2024 release.

When the sim starts what is the version number?

Have to tried several other default aircraft?

Can you post a screenshot or video?

Some progress. Problem seems to be when sim was updated the first time I cranked it up after a six month health related pause. All but default acft dumped. After I went back in and loaded the base pack, I get a conflict between the default LOngitude and the one I paid for. When I deselect default Longitude and try and hook back up with paid for one, I get an error and cannot reselect.

New issue. Bird loads well on ramp dark cockpit. I go through process of starting. After engine start, I am getting hyd FWShutoff messages. Any suggestions on a fix?
