I have read some posts relating roughly to what I have experienced, but just wondering if anyone here knows of my specific issue and whether it's more widely recognised. I have never had any issues with my PMDG 738 up until the last few weeks. I can't remember if it happened prior to SU15 or not. TBH, I think it may have been around before SU15 if I'm honest. It's happened about three or four times and is very frustrating. Basically, I am unable to operate LNAV or the CMD1 or 2. Also, none of the switches operate anything on the EFIS either, by that I mean the switches move, but nothing on the ND happens. Also on approach, it's impossible for me to reduce the thrust to anything realistic for a landing. I thought I'd ask here before logging a ticket ovet at PMDG.

Flew from Guatemala City to Mexico City yesterday in the 738 no issues. Maybe try a reinstall ?

Yeah, no problems here either. I would do a complete reinstall of the 737, make sure you delete any folders from the previous install. 

I've been flying mine a lot recently and had no problems except for the occasional known problem with the locked cockpit when you start a flight.

Good luck with your troubleshooting.

I have had it happen to me a couple of times. 2 days ago actually. Had to restart the flight.

No idea why or how it happens.

Other than the freeze on load issue I have had the aircraft freeze on me once in flight, wasn't just the AP though - sim continued no switches worked.

Since TA/RA previously caused this issue I've had the transponder on ALT since and not reoccurred.. (no idea if that solved it or it just didn't reoccur anyway)..

Hmm, thanks to everyone for their feedback, appreciated. I think as Bob suggested, I'll do a full reinstall and see if it resolves the issue, no great sweat. Cheers fellas.

PMDG has a post on the forum, this is a bug caused by the SU 15. It doesn't happen to everyone (but I have been getting it too and apparently someone is having a similar issue on the forums with the 777), the post the other day says they identified a solution but are trying to gather more data. Not sure if a reinstall will fix it but wanted to let you know its a known issue 

Hardware bindings at all? Used to have horrible issues with SPAD breaking inputs until I activated the FSUIPC support.

OK, thanks for the heads up, appreciated.
