I seem to be missing something as I can't load passengers or cargo onto my aircraft. I press F1 to begin loading and get the message to open the door and power up the aircraft. I do this and loading appears to begin. Fuel is immediately loaded and says ready. However, that's as far as I get. Passengers and cargo does not move up from 0. I seem to remember reading that passengers will only load some number of minutes before departure. If this is the case, I can't figure out where to look for the departure time.
I'm using the unregistered version from PDX.

Hi Tom,
It's not the time; if your gate isn't ready you will get a message saying "Gate not Ready" and how many minutes/seconds till it is.
There is a pause after the fuel load until the PAX get down to the door and actually start boarding but this should not be more than 15 seconds max.
First question are you FS9 or FSX? Next question, which airplane?
Also, as a test, have you tried a cargo flight and does the cargo get loaded then? Have you tried another airplane, maybe one of the defaults?
Let's get the problem isolated and we'll go from there.
You can, BTW, simply load it yourself using the FS load menu ALT-A F and carry on with the flight until we figure why the auto-loader isn't completely doing its job for you.

This is with FSX and the default King Air 350. I'll try again with both the 350 and another default aircraft - probably the 737.

Dutch:
I just tried again with the 737 and the Lear 45. Loading was successful with both aircraft. The King Air stills fails to load.
I also note that in FSX the Lear 45 is type=LJ45 so there is no default .cfg file for it.

I will hit the King Air over the head and see if I can get it to cooperate.
Thanks for the accurate report and the LJ45 detail.

Dutch:
I found my problem with the King Air. I accepted the mission and started the load before opening the doors and powering up the aircraft. The FCOM gives me the message to power up. In order to power up in the King Air, I have to switch to the IFR panel in order to see the battery switch. If I now commence the load, nothing appears to happen. I assume this is because the FDR gauge is not installed in this panel view. If I switch back to the main panel view loading proceeds normally.
Is there any problem installing the FDR in multiple windows? I know that you install it in both the main panel and the VC with no apparent problems.
