Checking flight controls in PMDG 737 (FSX)

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I am new here, and hope to find an answer to my question. Last week I flew a real Boeing 737 simulator in Aalsmeer, Holland. (Near Schiphol, EHAM)

My instructor tested the flight controls befor take off, and you could see if they were working correctly on one of the displays by moving the steering column up/down and left/right.

Is this test also possible in PMDG 737?

I tried hard to find it, bus without success.

Hope someone can help me.

Thx in advance.

Frans.

Press "SYS" on the center MFD. It's next to "ENG" for the engine display. If you only see hydraulic fluid and brake temp indicators, it's because the airline/livery you're flying didn't purchase an FCS (flight control system) indicator. You can enable that option under the PMDGSetup/Aircraft/Displays options menu on page 9.
