I dont believe there is anything you can do in the .cfg to get those buttons working. But it is possible you arent in the right spot to click them? I've noticed they are a bit tricky to click while in flight. I usually do it on the ground before takeoff, and can only seem to be able to change the screens by either changing the eyepoint in the vc, or zooming in on that particular area. It is tricky, but keep trying.

Also, see here to learn how to move about in the vc.

This is the method I use, and it gets you results like the 777 vc shot in my sig.

The "magic solution" appears to be msvcr70.dll as mentioned in the first post in this topic. If you don't have FS9 you can find it with a quick search on Google.
as suggested earlier, i copied the fs9 file 'msvcr70.dll' from my installation discs, put it into the root folder of fsx,and the missing gauges appeared.   there are still a few size issues with the main displays, and not all of the panel controls are mouse-clickable.  and i have not yet tried to fly the 777.

the vc looks great, but what a palaver to get there!

thanks to everyone for all the various suggestions.

Hey ozflyer, I can send you the working file if you want me to.  That is how we got Steve up and running.

[quote]**ADDITIONAL NOTE**
Look in your FSX root directory folder for a module named msvcr70.dll. You might need it for some FS9 default gauges to display properly. A quick search on Google should find it if you need it. - Courtesy of Hagar

**NOTE**
The Posky 777 if downloaded from SimV, not all of them include the files necessary to get the VC working. While it does include the entire aircraft package, you will still need to go to the Posky website to get all the necessary VC files. Once you have those, then follow the instructions below.

Also note, I have tested these instructions over and over again with FSX SP2/Acceleration on an XP based machine and a DX9 graphics card.

**UPDATE AGAIN**

Got an easier way to set this all up to get your vc gauges working. Quite simple actually. First, go here;

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/st ... 60&page=24

Download the 777 package (2nd from the top). This is the default FS9 777. Once downloaded, open the panel folder. You will see a single gauge file titled, "Boeing 777-300.gau". Take that and put it in your main FSX gauge folder. And thats it! Your vc should have all the gauges and buttons working. You wont need anything else from the download, so do what you'd like with it. You can then modify the config if you'd like to... but keep in mind, its not at all necessary. I just made my own changes to spice things up a bit. Only real necessity is the "//" in front of "gauge00=Pky_glassdirt!Pky_glassdirt" below the Vcockpit03 section of the panel.cfg

This is what you will get

Image

Only real change I made in the config from before is to keep one of the eicas panels as the default 777, and had the other one from the 737-800, as well as changed back the pfd screen to the 777.

I have posted my latest panel.cfg below. This reflects the latest panel on Posky's site, and a few changes I have made. All changes are in red text.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Alot of people have the Posky 777, but cant get their gauges for the vc working. This is how I got mine to work.

Basically I just used the gauges from the default 737-800. Much of the credit goes to Daube for figuring that out. I just chose a few different gauges to look more realistic. And looking at an actual 777 cockpit, this is pretty close. Here is the panel.cfg that I use. You can either make any changes accordingly, or just copy mine. Make sure to have a backup of the original just in case! Keep in mind, this is only for the vc, and not the 2d panel view.

sure, do what the very very very first thing in that post says. See if you have the module named msvcr70.dll

if you dont have it, a simple google search will do.

downloaded that file already...now it works partially..i only have the PFD. On another aircraft, it shows everything but i can barely see the gauges and they don't look like how they should look on the screen...haven't figured out how to upload a screen shot so i can't show you what it looks like.

You may get them working but however they are all crooked. I have the fix to make them work and line up. Authentic 777 gauges.

I know it is a FAQ... but nothing seems to work.
One question, in full screen, FSX does display the VC, but everything is white except the things outside the window. (In normal view, it is entirely black).
Why?

I followed one of the guide, and I installed everything it says, while everyone's work, mine is still the same.

Someone says Direct X 10 is on? I checked in the setting>display, direct x 10 is no where to be seen... do i have it? or is it something else that make the VC don't work....
