Greetings Captains,Please help me with the following two problems I'm currently facing (I use MSFS 2004):Keyboard:For some strange reason, when using ATC, I can't seem to be able to select ATC transmission next to the '3' key..EG: If you ask for take-off clearance IFR or VFR or even departure staright out...you have to press 3 to select the option and ask for clearance. I confirmed that the '3' keypad works fine in other MS applications (word, excel etc) and more importantly in other default MSFS aircraft. This is really strange...Please please HELP! I can't take-off when using ATC/IFR.-600/700 CrashYesterday I flew the -600/700 for the first time since I upgraded to the 800/900 series (which I've been flying since I purchased). Loaded the -600, took off climbed thru 2000 ft...and...BOOM...MSFS and my PC crashed! 800/900 works fine.Please someone, help me with these problems...especially the one with the '3' key while using the radio.Thanks indeed,Pranav

I had a similar problem to get the key commands for atc to work. What I finally discovered was that I had somehow hit "Shift+A" and turned off the avionics. I was probably trying to hit Shift+Z to turn on the FPS counter and turned avionics off. Once I hit Shift+A again I was able to get the atc commands to work. Hope this helps. I have no idea about the other problem.Regards,Sean

Thanks guys! It's resolved. Essentially, I had some other keyboard command assigned to '3'. I reviewed PMDG keyboard commands and simply ensured 3 does not feature anywhere now.Thanks again...All is well now!
