July 6, 200322 yr Saving a situation with the overhead and other panels on my 2nd monitor is responsible for several odd phenomena, I have found out after intensive research :-)After creating a flight from scratch, choosing the PMDG737, the first thing I do is move the overhead, FMC, throttles and radio to my 2nd monitor. Since I don't want to have to do that all the time, I then save that situation. Now what happens is, if I start that situation again, the fire bell won't sound when I test the engine fire panel and I can't tune any radio beacons, it simply won't recognize any of them. I found that if I save a situation BEFORE I move any panels to the 2nd monitor, there is no problem.BTW, the way I move the overhead panel to the second monitor is to use Shift 7 to show the overhead panel and then undock it. If I use the button "O" I can move the overhead panel but am then left without a main panel.Two questions:- is that the right way to move the panels?- is there any way that I can save the situation with the panels on the 2nd monitor and not have these problems?And now that I'm at it, if I save the FMC to be on the 2nd monitor, the situation file seems to forget about that. If I start that situation again, the FMC is back on its original place on the primary monitor.Leo Bakker
