Print Post  
I've tryed to reinstall the aircraft 757 PRO Pack for FSX as many times as i can and still the same problem occurs, when im in the plane, all the gauges are black with the engines running the at works but it doesnt let me engage autopilot either.

Am i doing something wrong?

the guages worked in the old 1.4 version

Thanks for your time

thats strange! that cockpit almost resembles the demo version  Undecided. THey should atleast show some symbols even without doing any OH work see image below,



anyhow everything looks fine on OH panel. I'm attaching few corrections try them and see if it makes any difference!

did you upgrade from block B or something? I got 4.1 pro without any upgrade. I hope you've latest gfx card drivers, fsx SP2. I'm assuming you've tried to disable bloom effect too. How about opening a trouble ticket?

1. As to the gauges problem.
- Please make sure your electric power supply is on.
- If the problem is not in this - please reinstall the product.

As to problems with FS9 and Vista please read this

To all who have the problem with gauges.
1. When the Battery Switch is ON and Standby Selector on the Overhead panel is in AUTO or BAT position - is the problem resolved?
2. Do you all have ailerons and elevator animation and control?
3. Is MSFS SP2 or Acceleration installed?

Edit: Please answer the questions above one by one in detail.

I saw your screenshots they look like FSX and you've installed 757 for FS9  Grin Shocked because my panel does not looks like yours at all

Hello Chris,

      I did had this same exact problem with my Captainsim 757. The only solution is to uninstall your Captainsim 757. You must go to my computer, C: drive, Program files then microsoft games. If using flight simulator X then you click on the "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" folder. Delete anything that has to do with captainsim. All Captainsim folders must be DELETED. Then restart your computer and try reinstalling your product. If that doesnt work then there is not much I could say. Hope it help.

No this will make no difference. Please try to uninstall 757 Captain products, reinstall (repair) MS Acceleration and install 757 products again.

Have you got the latest version of the aircraft.  This issue was with the older version.  The latest one fixes it.

Hope this helps.

Hey, I had the same problem with CS 1.4/fsx. After about six reinstalls, I gave up and reloaded the 1.3 version. Guess what, it works great. I'll just wait until CS fixes the problems with 1.4.
