Hello,
Lately when I start FlightGear with A320 or B777, I got a different panel on top of it making the plane unusable. How can I fix this?
e.g. this is how my 777 cockpit looks like:

I am on Windows 10, FG 2020.3.11.

yeah, don't press SHIFT-P in any craft unless you really do intend to use whatever it provides... check the F10->Help menu for the various keys used in the craft and the sim... some are global to the sim while others are specific to the craft...

"Why not?" said Gurder.
