Well . . . wouldn't you know it. I had shut down X-Plane after posting my message. I loaded it up again to get you a screenshot and a log.txt file. And when I did, it worked! The MFD as well as the PFD both loaded, and I was able to pop out bezel-less images that I resized and moved to my RealSimGear displays, without difficulty. It reminds me of taking a car into a mechanic to get an ailment repaired, and the mechanic being unable to replicate the ailment. When the persistency glitch is solved -- so the PFD and MFD reappear on the RealSimGear G1000 after a shut-down and reboot -- all will be perfect. Thanks.
