Captain´s PFD popout doesn´t work anymore

[Guest Mik75]

Hi there!

Recently, I bought the DC-6 for P3D, and since this addon doesn´t work in P3D v3.3, I updated the "client" and "content" to the latest version v.3.4. Everything works fine, but for some reason, the popout 2D panel of the Captain´s PFD in the NGX doesn´t work anymore. All other DUs appear in 2D by hovering the mouse above the panel, until the magnifying glass shows up, and then clicking them, but that just doesn´t happen on the outboard DU. What could cause this little issue? Thanks a lot in advance!

This is a precaution which was introduced with one of the recent updates of the NGX. Some people get CTDs from popping up the captain‘s PFD so it is disabled. However, as far as I remember, you can enable the PFD pop–up through the aircraft config in the MCDU. Or just use the copilot PFD.

Thanks a lot! That must be it. I updated the PMDG NGX a while ago, but probably never tried to use the 2D popups until I updated P3D! ;-)

Helps to read the release notes too 😉
