I guess the problem is your navigraph database, FSiPanel cannot find any approaches to insert as they are missing maybe?
When on the runway, I can easily load a SID or a STAR and the ILS approaches, they are all there in the aircraft but FSIPanel can't seem to find any of them. So it is not my Navigraph or the PMDG777. Any other ideas?
ok, can you check please when FSiPanel has finished the positioning if you can manually insert the approach in the FMC?
Some pilots on PMDG Forum are reporting that they do not find any approaches in the FMC.
If you can see the approaches in your FMC, maybe the SDK for the FMS has been disabled with the update or moved to another location.
Did you buy on MSFS or Steam store ?
Can you locate the file 777_Options.ini in the PMDG 777 Work folder ?
Also something to check, if you go to RTE page on your FMC when FSiPanel does not find the approach, do you have the correct destination airport ? or blank ?

Yes I can load an approach BUT FSIPanel also doesn't POSINT, landing speeds etc, hence me doing all by myself after the app sets the plane up somehow defeats the purpose of FSIPanel...

Bought on MSFS Store. I have located the following files in the work folder:
777.Options.bkk
777.Options (seems to be a config setting file)
Is anything missing in this folder that could cause our issues? Other than this, the plane works perfectly fine and all Navigraph stuff is in there so it must be the communication between FSIPanel and MSFS/777

all blank, RTE, LEGS, POS - the FMC doesn't get updated at all
After FSIPanel has positioned me and ready to hand over the flight if I try to put in the arrival (the runway number eg. ILS 23R) it tells me it is invalid entry although all the runways and procedures are present.
