737 FMC Key Problem

Featured Replies

Hi.I just re-installed the 737NG for FS2004 and as excited as I was after being treated to the eye candy of the 737, I decided to program the FMC for a small flight from OMDB-OBBI. Getting to the 'Perf Init' page, I had to set up numbers regarding my cruise level, cost index, zfm, etc but on pressing a certain key number, the number that displayed on the scratch pad was entirely different. For example, my ZFM for the flight was 146.79 (approx)I got around selecting 1 4 and 6 but selecting 7 and 9 was not possible as when I click on the lower end numbers on the FMC, they input the numbers located higher. Pressing 7 for example, sets in 4 in my scratch pad. I hope this was a simple yet detailed enough explanation of what problem I have exactly. I'm sure some others who use this model had the same problem so I'm look for genuine advise on this! I apologize for re starting this topic if it's already been discussed before. A direct link to any other topic containing this problem can be posted.Thank you all in advance,fellow flight enthusiast krazyk :)

It has to do with your screen resolution and aspect ratio of your monitor setup. I don't recall if your FMC is stretched to drag the edges to normal (round screws) or the other way around so it is left stretched. I could also be vertical size that is off. Since I use a 4x3 monitor for FS I don't have that problem.http://support.precisionmanuals.com/KB/a66...BSearchID=10954 will get you their support forum answer.

Thank you both! Although PMDG only suggests to reduce the resolution, I will go with the suggestion of stretching the FMC. I do use a wide screen monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080. Will try it and let you guys know.Edit : It worked by resizing the FMC. Thank you once again
