Yeah, the monitors in the middle are there but they don't show any information.

I've been looking around and ran into this, does it help you.

I have an NVIDIA FX video card and cannot see the panel?

Use the 44.67 WHQL drivers or higher, if they have not been released yet on http://www.nvidia.com download them at http://www.guru3d.com

Umm... It could be a driver issue(btw Nvidia latest is 56.72 April 2004) Are we talking default panels here?(may need a reinstall)

We need to know if its default or add on panels and then system specs please

Whoops! I forgot to tell you two things. First, the middle screens work on the 747, so the problem is only with the 777. Second, here are my system specs:

Pentium 3 - 1.4GHz

40GB Hard Drive

nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB ( with the latest nVidia 56.72 driver )

512 MB SDRAM DIMM

Windows XP - Home Edition

Are these the default aircraft or are they add-on ones.
Have you looked in their (the 777) folders to see if the panels have a folder.

😕 Have they ever worked?
Have you resized the panel?or modified the 777 in any way?

I know on the 747 you can switch the monitors off but I dont know about the 777

This is the default 777 with the default panels. Everything in this 777 is default. It has been like this ever since I got FS2004, and it's only the middle LCD panels, the other two in front of me work. I'm sure that all the 777 panel files are there in the right place. I have never modified the panel or resized it. Mabye I should expirement. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

Its 4.25mbs in size
Have a look to make sure its there,if not see if you can extract it from disc

The Boeing777-300.gau folder is there, so I decided to contact microsoft via e-mail. Let's see what they say.

Forget it! It's been 3 days and Microsoft never wrote back. Besides, I can live without those middle screens anyways.
