After reading the manual and cycling the views 2d - VC - Spot, I still cannot get the electrical systems to move when I click them in the 2D view. they will work in the VC and I can start the engines but the 2d still looks lick it has no power. the Lights, pressurization, and anti-ice panels work. but the elec and APU buttons will not flip, rotate or anything.  I am running FSX SP2 on WINXP

Sounds like an initialization issue. Try to reload the C-130 (Alt-A-Enter-Enter)

that did it thank you

I am having the same problem.  I am running Vista Home edition.  I tried the Alt A Enter Enter but still have the same problem.

If the keys do not work try the FSX menu. Make sure the C-130 airplane is RELOADED.

That worked, thanks.  FYI for vista users don't run ACE as Administrator, it will load FSX but will not load the plane.

I have the same problem, every time I load the C-130 a lot of the buttons on the 2d panels don't work unless I re-load the aircraft first. One thing I did notice when I first installed the C-130 X - I was asked to verify the publisher of the new gauges.

PS I am running FSX SP2 on Vista 32
