Problem when entering text in FMC

Featured Replies

Hi everybody, first of all, a friend have offered me the JS41 for my last birthday (AWSOME !! Love it !), and now, i have bought many days ago your 737 NGX. My english is not good enough to say how much i m satisfied, and very surprised about the job under the shape. AMAZING !I have proceed today for my first learning session with my new toy, and one wird thing appeared with the FMC.I was entering the ROUTE with the FMC panel, and testing the TAB option (to enter the text with my keyboard). Everything ok, but suddenly, i wanted to enter the waypoint OMASI, when i enter the O and the M after, the M replace the O ... I try to enter anything else, and a letter replace automaticaly an another letter ... I have no choice to enter single letter !! Impossible to continue with my FMC device. I try to push button DELETE, CLEAR everything, but nothing. I try my keyboard assistance (TAB option, or clicking in the zone to swith on keyboard) as well ... same problem ! I was trying the FMC panel 2, and everything was ok. During my first flight, my FMC panel 1 was out of service ... Why ? What happened ?? After my first flight, i decided to reloade the aircraft, and after testing exactly the same route (and same waypoint OMASI) everything looks ok now ... Do you have any idea, just in case the problem would reappear ? Thanks so much for your help.Geoffrey Rollet CYULOrder #19135

Hey Geoffrey. I don't know how the FMC deals with the input you type in. Just a suggestion though, press the "Insert" key if it happens again. See if that works.
