I can't find it. Please! I need help with it

G’Day Mansour,

I’ll give you some help in finding the toggle in the FMC to allow you to open the captain’s PFD and ND. 

So, to begin, load the aircraft that does not display the Captain’s PFD or ND into the simulator. Now, if the aircraft loads cold and dark/without power, follow this next step, if it doesn’t, then ignore this. 

Go to any CDU (FMC) in the flight deck, then locate the menu key on the CDU (FMC). Click and hold the menu key with the mouse until the CDU powers up and the screen comes to life. 

 

Now ice that we have power to the FMC, we can go into the PMDG options section and fix this “issue.”

Now that you are on the front screen of the CDU, in the bottom left of the screen of the CDU, you should see some text that says PMDG OPTIONS. Click on the line selector key that is to the right of it. From there, you should see something that goes along the lines of, 

AIRCRAFT.

SIMULATION.

OPTIONS. 

On the left hand side of the CDU. Click on OPTIONS and cycle through the pages via the NXT PAGE and PREV PAGE buttons on the CDU (which are slightly below the screen of the CDU) until you find a line of text that says CAPT PFD DISABLE/OFF (again, something like that). It should have YES written in YELLOW to the right of it. 

Click the corresponding line selector key (LSK) to Chang this option to NO. A pop up message will appear (if it doesn’t, alt+tab on the keyboard to show it.) warning you about disabling this.  READ THIS CAREFULLY and click OK and you are good to go. 

 

If it is not in the options menu, then it may be in the SIMUATION or AIRCRAFT menus. Just scroll through them until you see it.

By enabling this, you may loose stability in your simulator.
