Mini window display has no icons?

[Stubbin]

No sure why, but my FSPAX mini display (the one with the icons) is just a small black window now.

Did you recently update graphics drivers?

[Stubbin]

Yes when I changed video cards on my laptop from a GTX 580M to a GTX 680M, still running at same resolution.

Couple other notes:
I am flying in the PMDG 737NGX
I am running GSX
I am running FS2CREW
I am running EZDok
I am using the 3D cockpit
Running FSX in Windowed mode

One other thing I noticed, when I start the flight in FSPAX, it does the boarding and then sets my cursor as a "busy/wait" rotating blue cursor. Everything else works, can even fly the plane (however the busy cursor goes away when hovering over a control, and returns after moving off it). I can also make selections to serve food/drinks, play music, etc. But the cursor stays busy and the mini display window is there, but it is transparent black with no icons

The last thing I did was install FS2CREW, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it and FSPAX. No luck

Since you run it in windowed mode, do you have it in windowed mode ALL of the time or do you switch back and forth? This could be driver related or
the fact that it is in windowed mode. I'm not for certain. On my desktop, if I have a pop up window still active in full screen and then go into
windowed mode for any reason, it will cause graphics issues, so I close out any secondary window like GPS or mini display to keep this from happening.

Window mode 100% of the time

BTW, it is annoying that these developers refuse to support or fix bugs in their addons, but have plenty of time to cash the checks. I have a
feeling my issue is related to installing FS2CREW, and according to the FS2C people, FSPAX has a bug which causes the problem.

[Stubbin]

Any support on this ? A Google search shows this is a major/common problem, and none of the solutions seem to work.

I'm sure there are others running FsP with FS2C...did you search the forum thoroughly for anyone having the same issue? Just curious about that.

For instance, I found this thread about contacting Brian at FS2Crew regarding a panel tweak:

[Stubbin]

Yes and tried them all with no luck

[Stubbin]

I was able to work around this bug by making changes to panels.cfg that were provided by Bryan from FS2Crew. Do you have an ETA of when this 25
window bug will be fixed in FSPassengers? Bryan said he has emailed the PSPassengers developer.

Thought you said you already tried the panel changes and it didn't work....now it does? Interesting....

Only Dan can answer you on a ETA about any patches. I certainly cannot provide this.

[Stubbin]

I find it interesting that the panel change came from a developer who does not even work on PAX. In any case it is a hack/work around because FSPAX
is the only addon that has issues with more than 25 windows (according to Bryan).

Anyway, I am getting new problems now as I tried to use FSPAX in my new PMDG 777. "Wrong authorization, please purchase FSPassengersX"

[Stubbin]

I guess the developer has abandoned this product and just collects money now

Did you install the PMDG add-on after FSPX? If so, you need to uninstall both PMDG and FSPX, restart your computer, reinstall PMDG first, restart you
computer, then install FSPX and restart your computer.
