Hi Dan,Just what to say thanks for the suggestion you mentioned, so I tried checking the overhead panel and found out the electrical wasn't set up. Checked the manual and bingo all is fixed. I guess I ought to read the manual a couple more times and you know what they say, "practice makes perfect". If I get stumped, I'll know where to go for answers before I check at the forum.Have a good day.:-) Ron

Hi Dan,Thanks for that info. I always thought when you load an aircraft, and the engines are running, that everything else was ready to go except setting up your flight. Will definitely check out those suggestions and see if that isn't the problem. Let you know.Regards,Ron

Hi guys,I have a problem that I have never seen nor read about ever. I loaded the 737-800, engines running and brought up the FMC. There was no menu or anything on the screen. Also, I tried selecting the A/T switch and the indicator light would not light, but was on in the MFD panel also, the CMD and the FD were also on in the MFD but the indicator light would not work.I have tried to attach a few screen shots but was unable too. Why, I don't know, but for whatever reason, I still have this problem.I've tried clicking below to choose attachments, but it doesn't work either. Could really use some help with this one fellas.Thanks,Ron

Hi Carl,I think I've done it right from the PMDG menu, it's the FSUIPC I'm having trouble with. I opened the FSUIPC, but I am not familiar with tecniques for mapping thru this Utility for joystick hardware. I have the Saitek X52. I opened the profiler and designated the three MCP buttons that were noted in the first lesson for the 747-400/F TRC-1 and 2. It notes that the Sim will recognize the input from the joystick, but nothing happens. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to hardware or software mapping.I would really appreciate any advice on how to exactly map from FSUIPC utility. I have the reg. version.Thanks, Ron Tanoury

I have the PMDG 737NG and 747-400/F Queen of the Skies. In reading the the manual, it suggests to map specific MCP to your joystick buttons for control of the A/T Discontinue, Set Toga, etc. I have profiled my X-52 Saitek for these specific functions but they do not work when I do an Abort takeoff and discontinue the A/T. I have gone into MSFS options trying to map there and I'm stumped.Could really use some expert advice on how to this type of mapping, as you see I'm not acquainted with in doing.Need help Please!!!!!!Ron Tanoury
