Hello All,

It must be a window issue?, each time I use key button commands for example Ctrl + shift + enter key  which is the move eye point function nothing happens except I get the hand icon on the screen (not cursor)

I'm used the tutorial document to learn how to programme the FMC it comes from the operations centre documentation for new users like me.

 

Are you using FSX in windowed mode? If yes, are you sure you are actually focussed on the FSX window and not to another one?

Eventually check that you don't have other programs intercepting the key strokes.

I think so yes, I am in VC View on the run way looking out of cockpit window, no other programmes are running, I have the usal fsx tool bar upper top of screen with flights aircraft world options views help, in r/h top of screen I have red text  label it says cockpit view:  virtual cockpit 0.50 Zoom

Have you tried what Romain suggested? Press the backspace key to reset the view and then try the + and - keys again?

Romain i  sure  the op  has  stated  ti  works  on other  aircraft  except  the ngx

Yep but I'm alway a bit cautious when I read that something works on the other aircrafts and not on one in particular. Many thinks may be incriminated before suspecting a bug on the one aircraft.

It is really difficult to compare two aircrafts in the exact same conditions. Computing is so complex so that it can be really hard to isolate the different diverging factors.

yep  agree

If you're in the virtual cockpit and the +/- (zoom in/zoom out) buttons aren't functioning, try a left mouse click anywhere in the cockpit view. Make sure you're not hitting a control or a function key. 

This usually frees up the zoom buttons - at least it does for me when I've had this issue with the 777/747; however, I don't have the 737 NGX so don't know if the set up is different.

Dear All,

Charlie McEwan

Many Thanks for your advice etc, clearly there must be an error on my part or a bug.

Sorry to trouble you all.

No trouble. Let us know when it is fixed how.

To ask a silly question, you didn't accidentally enter the keyboard entry mode on one of the CDUs, did you?  If you type other letters, do they show up on one of the CDUs?
