FMC & Keyboard Lock up

Featured Replies

My Name is Roy Hayday

 

Hello can you help me please I'm new to the PMDG 737-800 NGX. My flight sim is FSX.

 

My problem is I load up the 737-800 and wait for the initialization to finish, to change the views I use the normal keyboard keys ie: F9.F10.F11.F12.& S to scroll through the various views.

 

However when I start to programme the FMC all those keys fail to work and I'm unable to change view's, is there something I have forgotten to do.

 

Regards

Roy if you press TAB or the clickspot at the bottom of the FMS screen, you get a green flashing box allowing you to type with your keyboard into the FMS. (I believe I'm right in saying this - not infront of my FSX PC right now). Make sure this is deselected because otherwise your keyboard selections may not work. It has caught me out before now.
