Is that the default FS9 Boeing 777?? wach closely and see if there the glass in the cockpit .....The gauges of this plane Could be incompatible in FSX or OR perhaps you didn't paste them, try by looking inside of the plane folder look in panel folder a file name panel.cfg open with notepad there are in window01,02 03 etc, a list of the gauges required, check if you put them in the main gauge file OR better paste in the same panel folder ...Just drop them in there all this :gau or .cab it work the same ,see if work other wise you may have to wait until a designer release a FSX Boeing 777-300 ...


Cheers

EDIT: It seems like you are running in Flight Simulator 9 "a century Of flight" I mean as far I can see Looks as FS9 , this is a part of forum only for the new Flight simulator 10 or FSX ,or am I looking wrong? :o :o

If you tell us exactly where you downloaded this 777 & which version of FS you are using it in perhaps someone can check it out for you.

PS. You could always alias Panel.cfg to use a default panel.

OK. A link to the page it's posted on would have been helpful but I think I found it. This looks like the FS9 default 777 complete with panel. I only have the Demo to try it in but it seems that the FS9 default Boeing777-300.gau doesn't display in FSX. You could always use a different panel or alias it to an FSX default as I suggested earlier.

Put the Gauges in the main gauge folder and say YES!!!

a single b777.gau is inside of a folder ,just drop this file in the main GAUGE folder it will ask you 2 question say yes to both..

Sorry, my Aliasing Explained article at my Lair covers it. http://www.simviation.com/lair/aliasing1.htm

Basically you can "alias" the panel (or sound) CFG of any aircraft to use the panel (or sound) of any another aircraft with its own files. With the large capacity hard drives in use nowadays it's just as easy to paste a copy of the panel folder from a default aircraft into the new one. You could use the default B737_800 panel to check it out.
