FMC Numerals can't enter 0

Recommended Posts

Guest F4PhantomRAAF2

The numerals on the FMC (in 2d panel) go 123456456789 with 7 I think where the plus sign is and 8 where 0 is (so cannot enter 0) and 9 is where the negative sign is (I might have the -+ mixed up, but cannot the 0 where 0 is it comes up as 8).PMDG site support said something about widescreen display modes having an issue with the FMC.OK. Any tips?I didn't have that issue with the PMDG 737-600/700, only since I bought the 800/900.OK. Going to check it now but I am pretty sure.

You have two options - resize the fmc to its normal aspect or use the keyboard. Support is correct about issues with widescreen displays.DJ

Thanks for taking the time..... I just tested it. I didn't have issues with numbers with the 600/700 series.I tried using the keyboard, so since it didn't work, how?And how do I resize the FMC? Make it a 'window then play with the size?

There should be a hotspot on the right side of the fmc ... just click the vertical black bar on the right of the right line select keys and you will see a small 'k' appear on the screen and then you can use your keyboard for input.You can also make it a window and adjust the size like any other window. I prefer the keyboard...DJ
