I'm not sure if I've discovered an incompatibility of not. I was flying a flight plan using the PMDG NGX P3D 737 and using Radar Contact v 4.3. I noticed that every so often the engines would both cut out and then restart automatically and continue. Looking into the inner workings of the PMDG NGX I found a set of key commands Shift-Control-F2 for Engine 1 Idle, Shift-Control-F1 for Engine 1 Cutoff, Shift-Control-F4 for Engine 2 Idle and Shift-Control-F3 for Engine 2 Cutoff. It happened on the taxiway approaching the assigned runway when I still had command of the comms. It happened again in the air when the co-pilot had control of the comms. Does anyone know if there are internal software keystrokes generated within RC4.3 that may be issuing the above mentioned Engine Cutoff commands? I flew a route without RC4.3 and didn't have the issue. It happened about 6 times several minutes apart while using RC4.3. The engines shut down, the cockpit display did not display any warnings and the engines came right back to life after sputtering for a moment (each time.) I don't have any joystick controls set for the function of engine cut off. I have disabled the PMDG set of key stroke commands and I will report back after I've investigated further.

OK thanks!

The problem has been solved. It has to do with the FSUIPC.ini settings. I deleted the FSUPIC.ini and the problem went away. I restored it and it came back. I also went through the process of reinstalling P3D and all of my addons one at a time to make sure there were no problems. 772west thank you for your reply. I do not wee where I can put my full name on the forum. I checked my profile page and don't see an entry for it there. This is an AVSIM forum. Is that different than the PMDG forum you speak of?

OK. I uninstalled and reinstalled and re-activated PMDG 737 NGX and I've installed the recommended simconnect interfaces and I cannot get the virtual cockpit knobs that control speed, heading, altitude, range, altimeter etc. to function. Some of these functions are available on the 2D panels and they work OK there. I've found the click spots and know what the grey hand and the white hand signify. The mouse wheel doesn't do anything and left and or right clicking has no effect in virtual cockpit. I am using the most current drivers and the latest Prepar3d install. Any suggestions? I am at a loss at this point. My default aircraft all work just fine. Oh, one more thing. The 2D main cockpit panel (Shift 1) is coming up all distorted and the top part of the panel is scrambled beyond use. I've correctly activated both Prepar3d and the PMDG 737NGX base package and have read and followed the instructions in the PMDG manual. Either I have missed something or I do indeed have a compatibility problem somewhere. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for having such a great site such as this where the community really helps me enjoy the hobby of flightsim. SA
