just bought a new machine loaded up flight sim 2004 which i had no trouble with before i get all the scenery building etc and the ovehead instrument panel but the main panel is just black - help

is your graphics card capable of playing fs9?

i would hope so this machine just cost me a foutune - it displays everything else scenery runway the upper instrement panel etc - in fact if you put your mouse in ther area of where the main instrement panel should be you get the little promt telling you what you have come across :ie throttle etc  only you cant see it

mmmh thats strange, have you tried re-installing fs9?, and do you have the latest graphics drivers

Does this occur with the other aircraft in your hangar, or just this particular model...?

i have diretx 9 and i cant understand why i get everything else displayed (really well) all except the main panel ?? i have anti virus switched off

i dont understand at all either.....i would switch anti-virus back if wah u, well if ya usin t'internet. eerrm, who is the pc made by, it could be a hitch, im not sure, im studying ict at skool, an usually the main culprits are anti-virus and old drivers. have you done an virus scan? and have you got all windows update, updated to the fullest
