I have a number of Project Opensky A333s, and there are a few different problems with the flight decks:
1). In virtual cockpit there's a "double cockpit" - i.e., outside of the window (only the right side, I think), there's a slightly displaced, second "replica" of that view of the cockpit.
2). The areas on the panel (in normal 2D cockpit view) where you can click to view the overhead panel and the centre console aren't clickable anymore - they were when I first got the plane.
3). In virtual cockpit, my panels are all off and blank (i.e., the screens), but in 2D cockpit they're fine.
Can anyone help me work all/some of the above problems out? Thanks a lot.

The panel problem comes because the virtual cockpit instruments aren't set in the right places, and it would take someone with a developers knowlege to set them in right. As for the replica I can only suggest downloading it again.

I know your problem!s!! yes ive had the same things and ill explain why then tell you how to fix these.
first, there are picture views in your panel folder. When you look left, right, back, etc, there is a default picture of the cockpit. The v-cockpit is the second "duplicate" cockpit you see.
Go to the panel folder for your aircraft. Delete the files for all the views(except the main panel of course). These are the default views you see when you look left/right/rear and they are NOT dynamic, they are just images. To finish the job, go in the panel.cfg for the aircraft you are having problems. you should notice the [views] section, just simply delete that whole section.
Walla no more double images.
The clickable buttons aren't there simply because the new panel doesn't have this feature(not all panels do). You can add them (just create a new gauge-i can tell you if you wish but it's not worth your trouble, just hit shift+2,3,4etc.)
Another possible reason could be that the actual gauges in the FS9 main gauge folder are missing,overwritten,or have somehow changed since you first got the plane. Then you would see an empty space where the gauage should be while in the 2D view. This is solved by downloading the panel and reinstalling the gauges correctly again. Once again, not all panels come with buttons on the panel that you can click to bring up the overhead/consule etc., so this is likely the case if you installed everything correctly.
And in the V-cockpit, sometimes these dynamic screens are not actually supposed to be funtional, which would make them blank in the v-cockpit mode. If you really want them to have a working sreen, look at the default MSFS planes, study their panel.cfgs, and figure out how to place a working screen in your newly downloaded cockpit. I learned everything by example.
If you have any questions, I'd be glad to help with more details; but your best bet is to mess around with all this stuff and learn how it all works on your own instead of having someone explain it in THEIR own words, then you'll really understand it.

Thanks so much for that, LHcapt2007! I'm currently away on holiday (the reason for my recent lapse in posting), but I'll try everything you said when I get home. Thanks again!

and thanks for being a fan of the most beautiful plane in its most handsome livery. As Q330 and I know, opensky's a330 in QF scheme by painter Jonathan Hartana is by far the most amazing piece of work for FS9, do you have it(like i need to ask)?

Hehe, glad to see another A330 supporter! The most beautiful indeed - though I must admit that in terms of c/s, SAS beats out QF for me.

Yep, I definitely have it.
As for the flight deck, I've been very busy and have not had any time to play around with things to fix all of the problems. When I get around to it, though, I certainly will do what you said.
