Blank panel.
yoga:
Hi There to all people,
Regarding about my title "blank panel", I really have another blank. After a long time I'm not playing FSX with all add-on(I uninstall everything), not a long ago I installed them back. I'm very shock that after Acceleration installed I have BLANK SCREEN. I think there is a problem here.... ??? Anyone can help me...
Thanks

I had the same result with the F/A-18 and the Westlannd EH-101 - no gauges. Microsoft at support.microsoft.com/games was no help. Reloading the game and OS had no effect.
I finally did a search on simconnect.dll and found two instamces of the file in the WINDOWS\WINSXS\X86 MICROSOFT.FLIGHTSIMULATOR.SIMCONNECT_... FOLDERS. I backed up the directories then deleted the oldest instance of simconnect.dll and restarted FSX.
This apparently solved the problem because I have gauges in both aicraft now.
I have asked Microsoft to validate this fix and they are in the process of replicating the problem and promulgating a fix. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
Incidentally, FSX reinstalled a new simconnect.dll in the directory folder where I deleted it. The simconnect.dll files have different dates and sizes that correspond with the latest program starts. There is no documentation of their function so I can't say why this worked.
God luck. . .

I had exactly the same problem before, but I solved it by doing this:
Uninstall EVERYTHING that revolves around fsx (fsx, addon, sp1/2, and so on)
Use this ''guide'' to re-install.

Then: Before you install fsx again, go to the folder C:\windows\winSxS\ and delete the files called
x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.Simconnect................
I believe these files are causing the problem with simconnet.
When everything are uninstalled, defrag your system.
You are now ready to install fsx again.
And remember to remove old files which may be left after an uninstalation, that you can find here:

YES!! A problem with Simmconnect. Been there, done that , to get my Track IR working after installing Acceleration. went into Windows\winsxs and copied all the Simmconnect files into a backup folder. Then did the Acceleration repair thing. Had panels, but no Track IR again. Copied the missing file out of the backup folder, to winsxs again, Voila! everything works !
LOL ;-)

Yeah the original F4 might be a bit hard to find try ebay thats where I found my copy, OF has a Hornet 3d pit but nowhere as good as accelerations. When and if you should get the old F4 then go here:
http://globalfalcon.org/vb/forums/index.php
and you'll find Open Falcon 4.5 and all answers etc. BTW I suggest using F4AF first as OF is twice as complex as AF you'll need to read the DASH34 and also I suggest the MLU tapes 1 and 2. Have fun reading and be glad theres no IFF yet otherwise even more books to read. ;D
