[SOLVED PLEASE READY STICK POST FIRST] Panels never turn on

[CathayGuy]

Hey Everyone,

On Saturday I purchased the CRJ-200. I can't get the displays to turn on. I know you need to enter your location in the FMC etc. however nothing at all shows up on the displays. I have it so that my engines are running when I start up X-Plane so I don't know why this is happening. When I go to the overhead pannel to flip a switch if I click it, it doesn't move. If I drag it nothing happens either.

Is my plane defective or am I just missing something?

Thanks!

Hello Jacobs.. yes you are missing read the sticky forums first.... (sorry to tell you this way but so many people don't do, and I want people first read the sticky forums because replying people the same issue one and another time we can become a little mad.

There you can find:

14. Plane loads correctly but it don't let me use the battery switch, or I don't see displays running when I load the plane with engines running

This is because the plugin didn't install correctly. 99% times is because you made a bad install. The installer ask you for your MAIN x-plane folder instalation.. not the plane folder instalation. Please point installer to your MAIN x-plane folder installation. Thanks! 

The plugin is not working because I believe you installed the plane in airplanes directory.. and that is wrong. If you read carefully the installer when promp for a folder to install.. it ask you the MAIN folder you installed x-plane.

So uninstall it and install again but this time pointing to the x-plane folder. not Airplane folder.

thanks
