I installed a nifty EFIS panel on the First Officer's side of my Boeing 737NG flight deck.
Set the requisite pfd.ini setting to CoPilot=yes
However, when I start the PM glass cockpit the setting reverts back to CoPilot=No
What am I missing?

If they're multiple instances of the same PM software, you can't run them that way. Both must be set to First Officer. You have to buy 2 copies to have FO and SO GC's running at the same time.
Where are they hiding the SO (also known as the FE) aboard a 737? :DQuote:

LOL
Did I actually write that? :-)
Let me clarify.
I have Captain's glass cockpit in its own pc.
F/O (Copilot) on its own pc.
EICAS is on its own pc.
Been running that way for years.
Bought PM in the very early days.
Changed Copilot setting very recently.

CoPilot=On
What ever is installed or the way doesn't matter. You also change this setting in the Menu (ESC key) direct. After you need to close the program by Q key to have it saved.
Thomas,
You're a star!
Many thanks.
