So after reading your post Mr. Downscc, which I thank you, finding the correct path and then the correct file and then the instructions to read in their file. I was simple. Why is it so complicated to do something simple on this computer? It make me feel really stupid that I didn't figure it out for myself first and not be on of those who does not RTFM! and post here. Anyway I got all sorted out. Thanks again. Wayne

Kyle, Thanks for the response. I have looked at the intro Manual, once and quickly scanned through it. I didn't think twice about the TAB key assignment. I thought it was pretty nifty.... until the SODE arrived. I will now look again. edit; I was looking at the wrong pages for the key assignment, which is where I was looking. It was in the simulation pages and not the key commands. Thank You, Wayne

Greetings, Using the PMDG aircraft FMC, the Tab key activates the data line. However, the SODE program used in several add on scenery's also uses the TAB + S key to activate the system. I know I can use the menu from the top of P3D, but for shortcuts is there a way to change or delete the Tab data activation key in the FMC. Each time I use the SODE menu Tab key I enter an S on the the FMC and the pop ups get hidden and I am not sure sometimes what is activated on screen. If not, I will just remember to use the menu at the top. I have looked in the key assignments, no joy. I cannot configure the SODE. Thanks, Wayne L Pierce

Thank you for the reply. I will give your advice a try. Thanks

Greetings, I have looked at the Manuals and I am sure I missed it, but how does one reset the FMC to accept a new flight. Aside from totally resetting the aircraft I cannot seem to let the FMC reset/ reload itself for a new flight. I put in a new destination but the flight legs, departure and arrival from the old flight are still there. Is there an on off switch I am missing. ?? Thank You, Wayne L Pierce

Greetings, not a big thing, but I notice the vehicle towing the A/C unit in the BOAC skin does not tow the A/C unit. It stays put until the little truck stops , jumps in position, then no hoses are connected. Then the ground connections in the CDU will report arriving but never does change. Does this affect the aircraft functions at all ? The other aircraft work fine, well the quantas does at least. Thank You, Wayne L Pierce

After further testing. Success! I found the yoke would not work correctly in the yoke control function of simulator. It would keep the Ailerons turned left. I use FSUIPC for all assignments, always have and will. I had to remove the yoke assignments from the FSUIPC "normal axis" and reassign it to FSUIPC calibration mode for it to be read by the 777. Thank You,

Thanks for replying. Yes it is checked. Still working on the problem. Thanks

I have a small problem with the Yoke and parking brake actions of my cockpit translating to the VC of the 777 in both FSX and P3D, (ither version when it is loaded.) I can control the A/C with the yoke in manual flight. The foot pedals work fine for rudder and brakes. My controls do operate normally in the 737 in both platforms but not the 777. I have the latest updates for all that is required. There is no visual representation of Ailerons or the parking brake lever. The Ailerons on the wings do show operation if I use the keyboard controls, but not the parking brake. It does not show as operating on the text message on the screen either. I use Precision flight controls and have the latest PFchid141 and FSUIPC loaded and operating. I have done the sim connect repair and start the aircraft from the scenerio screen to get the mouse to operate the VC. But it does it in both FSX and P3d. They did show operation at one time before some update of product. This showed up before P3dV3. I have reinstalled the A/C and unplugged and re-plugged the yoke, no joy. Ideas ? Thank You,

Greetings I have the same problem with the P3d 737. No overhead panel lights. Minor label lights come on. The switch rotates but no light comes on. Thank You, Wayne L Pierce

Very simple really. I had to unplug all my addon controls, yoke, throttles. The PMDG did not want to use the cfg's of them to load up. After unplugging all, the aircraft loaded loaded normally. Then i had to deal with new cfg's for all the hardware as they were then read differently in FSX. That was it.

AS a follow up to this. All is well now. PMDG tech support has helped me and problem solved. Thanks

Greetings, As an purchaser and user of all the PMDG products I cannot figure this one out. The 737 NGX was working great and no problems until last weekend. It will load up to the VC cockpit and the CTD. I have searched the forums for an answer to this with so many postings it is difficult to find a post with this problem. The Problem: I have reformatted all my drives. Clean install of win 7 64 bit, I7 3.5GHZ, nvidia gforce GTX 690, 16G ram. A new purchase of FSX gold with accel. I have not put on any scenery addons, no payware items except for FSUIPC, basic yucky FSX. I works fine. The drivers are up to date as of yesterday. An install of the 737 goes as planned, enter the code, OK the dlls, say yes to the gauge loads, it starts up to the VC cockpit and the CTD ! each and every time. It shows the cockpit and will not go any farther. Am I missing something? Like I said before it worked then quit. This is getting frustrating. I will wear out my license tries to get this working. Any honest help will be appreciated. Thanks

I loaded up the last service pack 1c today and let it go. Seems to have taken care of any freezing problems. I am reluctantly going to activate the coautil and FSDreamteam, along with my Aerosoft airports now. And see if that has any adverse affects. WLP

Update on my problem; did several flights #1. Started with just the 737 loaded, basic first load no Service packs, turned off all the scenery addons and flew just the FSX. No freezes. #2 loaded the Hotfix for the 737 and flew the same CFG as above. No freezes. #3 loaded the scenery addons on and flew. No freezes. #4 loaded SP1 for PMDG. Loaded scenery except the FSdreamteam and the coatil (sp) and flew. No freezes. #5 loaded SP1b for PMDG Loaded scenery except the FSdreamteam and the coatil (sp) and flew. No freezes. I have not gone farther yet with the SP1c. Will try tommorrow and then put on the Dreamteam stuff. News to me here; Maybe I didn't RTFM. I was digging on the forums and I read that you need to load the SP's one at a time and then operate the aircraft in FSX each time. I loaded all at once the last time I loaded the 737 and maybe that is the trick. Maybe this is the trick.
