Hi Daniel,That's quite the sentence.Can you please give me a list in point form of your issues.However, though, be sure to read the manual a 2nd or even 3rd time.Make sure your PMDG keyboard assignments match up with those required by FS2Crew.Be sure to print out the tutorial flight and follow it slowly step by step. Cheers,

Okay, I think I follow that:1. Are you running anything that could be intercepting the keypresses FS2Crew sends to the 747 (ie., having the Squawkbox text window in focus, or even an ATC window).2. Make sure your PMDG keyboard commands match those required by FS2Crew. Sending key commands is how FS2Crew controls some of the functions on the PMDG 747.3. Engine start: Do a search on the forum. We have a video showing the engine start procedure. There is a chance your joystick is firing twice even though you only press the button once. To rule that out, be sure to only use the keyboard for the FS2Crew main and secondary (green/red) interface buttons.Go "slow" with the button... slow and deliberate.Also ensue you're using the FS2Crew Panel State file as it will ensure that everything is in the expected place.Also ensure that nothing else (like FS Pax) is trying to control the doors.4. I don't follow the question about the MCP.Best,

Make sure your Main Button is configured as per the manual.Try re-assigning it to a different key. Numeric Keypad Minus is a good key to use. Ensure Num Lock is Off.With FS2Crew activated, if you press PF a yellow dot should appear beneath PF. You see the Yellow Dot, right?Cheers,
