Well, what card do you have, and do you have updated drivers for the video card? I had a problem when I first installed it, but it went away. My panel in the cessna had a split in it-a little gap where I could see the runway. As I said though, it went away. If you upgrade your drivers for your video card, I suggest reinstalling directx. This is so whatever files that went into your system from your video card's updated drivers, will line up with directx. Don't ask me, it was one of the things Microsoft suggested when I had this problem with the split in the panel, and as I said, it's gone now.
