Hey, I purchased few days ago the PMDG 747-400 and now I try to use it, but for some reason, when I am starting my flight, the gauges shut down, after few seconds, and you cant see nothing no engine controls, not attitude indicater... you know what i am talking about. So whats wrong? cuz as I start right away everything ok, but after few mins its shutting down, like the avionics are down for some reason.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a product authentication problem, it's an anti-piracy feature. You'll have to contact PMDG support.

I'm a bit confused here, just want to clarify -- you are aware of the fact that if you have both, PMDG 737 and 747 -- they have to be installed in a particular order. From memory and according to logic it would be the 737 first. If you have that ok, I don't know what the problem is.

If you own multiple PMDG products, be certain that you install them in
the following order:

1) PMDG 737-600/700
2) PMDG 737-800/900
3) PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies
4) PMDG 747-400F Queen of the Freighters
5) PMDG 747-400 Universal Sound Update <-- THIS IS LAST!
