Sorry for reviving this topic,
Data:
VCP & VFP
CPUs:8
vCPU:2
Memory: 32g
HDD: 130
Adapter: 4x1G / 2x25G / 2x40G
For example: when I add 2x25G FPC it starts perfectly online but when I add 2x40G plus FPC 0 it is empty, I will leave an image to better appreciate what I say.

Hi Jesse,
You need to have two vNICs on the VCP and VFP as follows
vNIC1 - management (fxp0)
vNIC2 - internal (used for VCP-VFP comms)
Subsequent NICs on the VFP are data interfaces
vNIC3 - ge-0/0/0
vNIC4 - ge-0/0/1
etc
Usually the NIC1 would either map to your management network, or create a new vSwitch for management and assign the NICs to that.
The NIC2 (internal network) should map to a dedicated vSwitch that links NIC2 on the VCP to NIC2 on the VFP only (one required per vMX instance).
Now if you have not assigned a 3rd NIC to the VFP, then it does not have a data interface so the virtual VFP will not start all the required processes and you will not see the ge-0/0/* in Junos.
Hope that helps
