RC and PMDG questions

[Guest KevinShea]

I just got done flying my first flight with RC and PMDG and I have a question. As I was flying into MDW I was trying to tune my radios and it seemed that the ability to tune the radios was disabled or not working some how. I would open the radio panel and try to use the mouse to tune the frequency and nothing would happen. In addition, a few of the other common buttons I use were not working like P to pause the sim and Shift-Z to check frame rates. When I pushed the P button it would engage the CWS A function of the autopilot and when I pushed the Shift-Z combo it would increase my MCP altitude by 100 feet.Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a way to prevent it. It is mighty hard to fly an ILS without the proper frequencies tuned on the radios :( Thanks,Kevin

Kevin,Do any of the problems still occur without RC running? If so then it's a problem with your installation of the aircraft. Have you updated it with the SU2 patch?This would seem to be a question that needs directing at the PMDG Forum. I fly the PMDG737 as do many of the RC beta testers and I haven't come across the problem you describe.Cheers,

Yeah, I did send this one over to the PMDG forum as well and it seems that Rob and Lefteris are aware of this problem and are trying to solve it.Thanks,Kevin

post the answer here, if you would. i'm sure someone will be interested, and if someone does a search in the future, the answer will be right here :-)

No problem,Lefteris suggested that the next time it happens to anyone they should try pressing the CTRL key to see if it goes away. Just a thought for now, if I hear an answer I will post it here as well.Kevin
