Hi,I haven't experienced panel-freeze problems and been quite satisfied wit NGX and so I have not installed any hot-fixes so far. Right now I'm having my first software related problem: Everything in VC works ok, but I cannot access FMC. So, the CDU works well and I'm able to do set ups and configuring, but in the menu when I should move to FMC there is no response. Even the text FMC is "grey-lighted" but no response from from the button. I've even tried to F3 and a visit to task manager but my FMC is not available. I've already made about a dozen flights wit NGX without this kind of problem, but now I'm standing in LIMC unable to acces FMC. Any solution? Petteri PulkkinenEFNU

Since you haven't installed any hot-fixes, try installing the latest hot-fix.

Would you happen to be in a "cold and dark" situation? If your standby power switch is off, the FMC is not accessible. Master battery and standby power both must be on.

You can access the Load Manager and Aircraft Equipment Config Pages when the aircraft is powered down. However the FMC part where you enter in the flight information will not work until you provide power to the Aircraft. When you see Dual FMC restored then you can use it.
