I managed to "acquire" a copy of the 777-200 base and do a clean install. That fixed the problem. I fail to understand why PMDG doesn't allow buyers to download their products forever. Even the link that is supposed to be available for a year is not. Oh well at least I got it fixed.

Pete those were the instructions I followed. Kevin, it never even asked me for the code. I think that is the biggest issue I am running into currently. I will go and check the external view when I start FSX this time. Edit: Confirmed no gauges or gear.

Hey all, After attempting to uninstall and reinstall the latest update to the 777 from pmdg. After following all of the instructions when I go to launch a free flight in FSX with the 77W PMDG house (never had a request for activation yet btw) it launches into a VC that looks cold and dark BUT I can not actuate any buttons, switches, or toggles. The yoke is jammed hard over left and the throttles are at 100%. When i try to move any control surface with my joystick I get no response. I was going to attempt to do a complete clean install of the whole 777 program but apparently PMDG doesn't keep the download links for 1 year like they promise in the emails so I don't have a way of downloading the 77L install. I'm kind of stuck and have not had enough coffee yet to figure this one out on my own.
