    ok, I've had some progress.

    I decided to look into the aircraft panel.cfg

    I found the following section

    gauge20=b777eicas!eicas200LR,          1340, 632, 350, 341
    gauge21=b777serv!eicasStatus,         1544, 633, 142, 145
    gauge22=b777newFP!GearWidePanel,      1732,590,188,490

     

    Of particular interest is the line reading: gauge21=b777serv!eicasStatus,         1544, 633, 142, 145

    This leads to a file in the panel.777 folder called b777serv.dll

    I know the other 2 lines relate to the working parts of that display, and I know that there are 2 xml files that have the messages I want.

    I edited this line and inserted what I believed was the path to one of the two xml files named posky_eicas1 inside the SimObjects\Airplanes\Boeing_777_200ER_OP\panel.777\posky777_glassgauge folder

    I edited the panel.cfg so that it read: 

    gauge21=posky777_glassgauge!posky_eicas1,         1544, 633, 142, 145

    And when I loaded up the sim.. this is what I saw on the 2d panel

    777-2d-panel-with-edited-panel-cfg-file.

    So I've linked it to the wrong place but at least I know that is the gauge in question. Now I just need to find out where the messages are or if that b777serv.dll contains what I need but is broken somehow.

    Also, if anyone could tell me what those numbers at the end of each line relate to, that would be great.

    Ok, done that.

    No problems found and no improvement when I loaded the game again.

    I uninstalled and downloaded FSX again... the only change is that now the Radio stack on the default 737 and 747 is black...I installed the 777 along with the 777-300.gau and msvcr70.dll again and...you guessed it, still have the original issue.

    I've now uninstalled FSX AND Steam and I am currently waiting for FSX to finish downloading again.

    After that, my only solution is going to be a clean windows install or to nuke my PC from orbit haha

    It's such a small thing but it is just going to bug me until I can fix it.

    One of the issues is that the download package comes with an installer so you just hit run and it does it all automatically. That's great from an ease of use standpoint, but it also means I don't get to understand where the various files are extracted to and what they should look like.

    I managed to find the files in question from a United 777-200 and put them in the appropriate places but I'm still having the same issue. 

    I noticed, there are two xml files named posky_eicas1 & posky_eicas2 inside the SimObjects\Airplanes\Boeing_777_200ER_OP\panel.777\posky777_glassgauge folder.

    I note that they have all the text for the messages i'm looking for.

    So the problem seems to be that the sim is unable to reference them in-game.

    I'm a total novice on the filing structure and how they relate to each other, but maybe someone with more knowledge than me can point me in the right direction?

    Hi All,

    I downloaded the 777-200ER ultimate pack for FSX-SE from rikooooo the other day. Everything is working great and after a bit of trouble initially, I managed to get the FMC working like a charm.

    My only issue now is that I'm getting no messages on the EICAS. I have Engine data, Flap and Gear status, Temps, Fuel but no messages, cautions or warnings in the top right quadrant of the display. This applies to the VC as well as the 2D Panel.

    Does anyone know what the problem might be?
