Green box PMDG NGX

[lukejw20 7]

How do you get rid of the green box on the FMC? When I try to program it, it comes up for no reason and I cannot use any of my keys to change views, set the parking break, etc. Insanely annoying.

I think you are going to have to supply some more details. What aircraft? Are you working through one of the tutorials? What are you trying to program into the FMC? Position? Route? Fuel? Perhaps a screen shot would be helpful as well. With additional information, I'm sure someone here can help you.

Hi lukejw20,

This is the box that allows you to enter characters on the CDU (Flight Management Computer screen) scratchpad.  This is covered in the manuals.  You need to read them carefully, do the tutorials, etc. This is a complex aircraft that you can't just jump into and fly.

Please note that PMDG wants you to sign your name in its forums.

Go to Profile>Account Settings>Signature and enter it, or just sign your name each time you post.
