PMDG 737, 737BBJ - Seated Passengers stopped working

[szln6z]

I had the seated passengers working in my 737-700 BBJ, but in the last week or so they no longer work.  The only think that has changed is the update to the latest GSX version, and I think i also updated the PMDG737 to the latest version about a month ago.

Using the FSDT installer, I went in GSX config and unchecked, then rechecked seated passengers for both 737-700 and 737-700BBJ.  However, when I'm in the aircraft, the seated passengers do not appear after selecting Chime/No Smoking to OFF.  I've tried this procedure multiple times but the passengers won't show.  I see them board, so I know they're on the aircraft.

Any help appreciated.

I really wish you would fix this.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the passengers multiple times without success. 
UPDATE:  I just read another post where someone had to reinstall the PMDG 737 in order to get the passengers working again.  That seems a bit nuclear to me.  I don't need to see pax that bad, but will keep this in mind.
