B107 Technical Guide: Common Issues & Solutions (MSFS 2024 / X-Plane 12)

By Daniel W| May 28, 2026| Boeing 737 · PMDG · iFly · Zibo
During use of the Rowsfire B107 overhead panel, some users have encountered compatibility and display-related issues in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12. This article summarizes the known problems, their causes, and the temporary solutions provided by the manufacturer for reference.
ISSUE 1

Low annunciator brightness

Confirmed Workaround available

Some users report that the B107 annunciator lights — especially amber and green indicators — appear significantly dim, while blue lights perform normally. The issue is particularly noticeable in bright environments or during daytime use.

Current status

  • Issue confirmed
  • No hardware-level firmware fix released yet

Temporary workaround

  • Adjust ambient lighting and viewing angle to improve visibility
  • An official $20 refund compensation is available for affected users
Note: This issue is likely related to LED driver brightness curves or voltage control strategy, and may be improved through future firmware updates.
ISSUE 2

PMDG 737 pressure panel always shows 0 (MSFS 2024)

MSFS 2024 · PMDG 737 Fix available

When using the PMDG 737 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024:

  • FLT ALT / LAND ALT adjustments work normally
  • In-sim values update correctly
  • However, the B107 panel always displays "0"
Good to know: this issue does not occur in the iFly 737 MAX.

Solution — manual configuration required

Locate the 737_Options.ini file in the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 installation folder, open it with administrator privileges, and add the following:

[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
ISSUE 3

No functionality in X-Plane 12 (all aircraft)

X-Plane 12 Fix available

In X-Plane 12:

  • The panel connects successfully
  • The Rowsfire app detects the correct aircraft model
  • However, all switches, knobs, and indicator lights are unresponsive

Affected aircraft

IXEG 737-300 Zibo 737 Level-Up 737NG

Root cause

This issue is related to the X-Plane data bridge not being correctly installed or activated.

Solution — install Zibo Bridge (recommended)

Follow the official tutorial for installing the bridge component:

▶ Zibo Bridge Installation Tutorial (Video)

Summary

The B107 is a high-immersion hardware device that depends on software configuration. Most early-version issues have a workaround or a software fix available, making it well suited to flight-sim enthusiasts who are comfortable performing basic configuration adjustments.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my B107 annunciator lights dim?
Some units show dimmer amber and green annunciators (blue lights are normal), most noticeable in bright rooms. It's a confirmed issue likely tied to LED driver brightness curves; for now, adjust ambient lighting and viewing angle, and an official $20 refund compensation is available for affected users. A future firmware update may improve it.
The PMDG 737 pressure panel shows 0 in MSFS 2024 — how do I fix it?
Open 737_Options.ini in your MSFS 2024 install folder with administrator privileges and add:
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
This does not affect the iFly 737 MAX, where the panel works normally.
My B107 doesn't work in X-Plane 12 — what do I do?
The panel connects and the Rowsfire app detects the aircraft, but nothing responds because the X-Plane data bridge isn't installed/activated. Install the Zibo Bridge following the official video tutorial to restore functionality.
Which X-Plane 12 aircraft are affected?
The IXEG 737-300, Zibo 737 and Level-Up 737NG — the fix (installing the Zibo Bridge) applies across them.
Does the B107 work with the iFly 737 MAX?
Yes — the MSFS 2024 pressure-panel "shows 0" issue is specific to the PMDG 737; the iFly 737 MAX is unaffected.
