Hello I am having a problem with the FMC. If I select 0 on the keypad I get 8,      1,2,3,4,5,6,seem ok 7=4,8=5 ,9=6, .=7, +/- =9 etc so I have no way of entering 0, . , or +/-. This happens with all the PMDG fmc's I have installed Any help would be much appreciated regards Brian

You need to resize your CDU's.  You apparently have a widescreen monitor that is distorting the instruments and shifting the relationship between the clickspots and the buttons.  Simply make it taller and narrower...

What plane, specifically? This was an issue with the NG in FS9 that there was no permanent solution to, but shouldn't be an issue in anything newer as long as you have the Wide View tweak in your cfg.

Thanks.  That works nicely.  Although you have to do it every time you load the plane.  Other than that, it's great.  Do you by chance know the window size numbers that we can edit the panel CFG's with? 

 

P.S.  I'm using a 23" monitor.  Probably affecting things, but the graphics are awesome.

No, I don't know the numbers... two factors:  one is that the numbers are not reflected in the panel.cfg since you are resizing dynamically with FS running; second is that the numbers will vary for every different monitor aspect ratio.  You can always sort of guess your way through the process by just eyeballing what you've done dynamically or remember that the panels were designed for the traditional 4:3 ratio so if you have a monitor with a different ratio you simply use that ratio to calculate the new numbers and try them.
