Flight one forums got me sorted.  In a nutshell using the Panel Id Toggle function of FSUIPC and the following Panel ID numbers you can assign any key press or hardware button/switch you want to open and close the 2D gauge window.

Found the answer in the thread below if anyone else has the same issue.
 
I bought my Airbus while on sale a while back and am just now getting around to try using it  so it looks like I had an earlier version.
 
Updating and reinstalling...

Make sure they are properly Calibrated in Windows too.
 
The other common problem with toe brakes is they tend to be reversed (On while stagnate and off when pushed) make sure you have the axis reversed so that the brakes are applied when you push them not the other way around.
 
I see you're using FSUIPC;  make sure you calibrate the axis there too not just assigned.

Looking at the file structure seems to have solved the mystery. As stated above I tent to like to rename folders in my custom scenery file to coincide with the Airports IACO Code.  It looks like when I did this I created the problem by unzipping downloaded scenery directly to those renamed folders.  The author of this airport (and most likely the others) had all of the earth nava data etc. contained in their own folder.  By unzipping directly into the folder I created  I inadvertantly  made the authors folder a sub folder which prevented the scenery from being loaded.  Hope my mistake can prevent others from making the same... :blush:
