Most likely the switches aren't pointing to the right "ident" for the windows.

Find one or more other aircraft that use the same switches.  Examine panel.cfg  to see which window is opened by which switch.  Change the "ident" of your new aircraft's windows to match the existing ones that work.

This, for example, opens a window when you click on the GPS icon:

ident=GPS_panel

and sometimes they use numbers, like this:

ident=31

I'll be here and I'd like to know if it works.  Theoretically it should.
