I have been trying to get the comm and nav radios on this panel to work with just about every 757 I download and I can't get them to work. I tried to edit the aircraft.cfg file as the "readme" section says but nothing happens. I'm running Windows Vista. I had to go in and give myself permission to even edit the .cfg file but when I edit the "radios" section nothing happens. Can someone help me out? The panel I installed is this one: http://flightsim.com/file.php?cm=INDEXCALL&sPos=20 It's the next to last panel on this list. I am trying to install it on the fleet 757 as well as a few other 757's I downloaded.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I am getting frustrated trying to get it to work.
Thanks!

Right click on the file and see if it has "Read Only" attributes. If it does then you will need to change it. Check the security settings using the same method. Make sure your "user" has permissions.

I right clicked on the "aircraft.cfg" file and gave myself permission to modify it last night. I then edited the radios section and it allowed me to save it. I opened up the aircraft and was disappointed that nothing had worked.

Have you tried adding a radio stack into the panel, let the broken radios be broken, and use the new stack? I'm sure you could just take out the radio stack from another freeware 757 or 767.

I've never attempted to do that--any clue how that is done?

Well, if you're downloading it stand-alone from a place like avsim, you can do this via the instructions.
However if you're just taking it out of a folder, here's how you do it:
#1. Open the panel.cfg that you are taking the radio stack out of. In the list of windows (at the very top) look for what one the radio stack is.
#2. Copy that line (should be something like Window56=RadioStack).
#3. While leaving the first panel.cfg open, open the panel.cfg of the aircraft you'd like to add the radios to. Then find the window list at the top (same place as in the other panel.cfg). Select the line just below the very last listed window.
#5. Change the number in the line you just coppied to be the one right after the number above it (If your coppied line says 59, but the line above it is number 3, change the number of yoru coppied line to say number 4)
#6. Now go back to the first panel.cfg. Look at the ORIGINAL number of your coppied line and scroll down the page until you get to that number (not just the name of it, but with all the code below it). Copy all of that.
#7. Go back to the second panel.cfg. Look to see the number that you CHANGED your coppied line to. Then look at the one right above it (If you changed it to 4 then the line above it should obviously be 3). Now scroll down to the full in-depth version of that window number. Get your text cursor on the line two lines below the last line of this window code. Now past what you had coppied from step number 6.
#8. Change the number that went with the stuff coppied from #6 (it should be the same as the number from your original copy) to the same number you changed the other line to in step number 5.
#9. Save the panel.cfg
Now unforunatley you wont have an icon for this new radio stack. To open it, either use the shift-function combinations or show the menu bar (alt), select views-panel-then the name of whatever radio stack you used.
