December 13, 201114 yr I have put on the latest update and everything is working apart from the FMC. When I start from Cold and Dark I click on the FMC menu button for a couple of seconds and the FMC comes alive. The PMDG and FS Action switches all work as wll as the number and letter pad however everything else does not. the FMC icon on the L1 is highlighted but does not work when you push on it as well as ACARS AND DFDAU. I can not do anything as I need to get in the FMC. To also add when you start with engines running the FMC works in full, it just seems to be the Cold and Dark saved panel.any help would be appreciatedMarshall
December 13, 201114 yr Only the sim/pmdg options work during c&d because the fmc is not powered. Get some ground power going & you'll be fine. Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64

December 13, 201114 yr Commercial Member Yep. Try the tutorial. It sounds like you haven't properly powered the aircraft. Kyle Rodgers
December 13, 201114 yr Author Have been flying the PMDG since it came out and have been doing the same things from a cold and dark start point of view without any problems with the FMC. I connect external power/battery which brings the plane to life which should enable me to get into the FMC but as I have said it will not respond. Not sure why this is the case.
