Red digits on Radio/Pressure Panel

Featured Replies

Good day,

I recently updated my 737. Ever since the update, the digits that appear on the radio panel and the pressurization panel are red. They still operate normally. I can pressurize the aircraft and tune VOR`s and LOC`s and talk to ATC. However, it is aesthetically displeasing. I am running Collins on the MCP so I don't think that is the problem. But the best way to describe the digits is that they look identical to Honeywell. I am having problems loading my screenshot so bare with me on the description.

I have read in the changelog that an LED digit bug was fixed. I don't think this was the "fix".

Thanks in advance,

Dylan L.


If it helps. The current version I have is 1.00.3219

The pressurization panel should still be white on blue, but the radios were changed to a red background in one of the service packs. This matches the real world config. Why the radios were ever blue, I have no idea..

I have sat in the 737 a few times while powered up. I certainly remember the pressure panel being white on blue. And on the radio panel I do remember now seeing the standby frequencies in red while the active frequencies were white on black. I have been taken off guard here. I did not realize that the real world color was red. My eyes are definitely use to white on blue. I remember seeing screenshots and uploaders on YouTube and seeing white on blue. In conclusion, my panel was white on blue for the longest time, ever since I bought it and it never dawned on me to see red. Thank you for your feedback. It makes sense now. I will get use to the change.

However it was changed also. PMDG decided to choose red color here.

 

I don't understand what you're saying, the pressurization panel on the overhead is blue and white in the latest version (and I believe it always was)

No, it's red since SP1c.

No, it's red since SP1c.

 

I checked mine earlier and you're absolutely right. I thought that was not changed, but it was. I guess I've been out of the 737 too long..  :blush:
