Boein 737 PMDG Autopilot - lights

[Maxair]

- The key commands to set altitude, heading (Autopilot) don't work.
- Lights penalties, even if set properly.

Excuse me,
I know this is an old topic, but I've read a lot about this subject (FSP manual also), but I didn't understand if there is a solution. Is there a
way to modify the aircraft.cfg to solve these problems ?

No there is no solution for it for so far as i know.

I also use PDGM B737 but i did not get the light panelty maybe a service pack ore something?

The B747 from PDGM does also not support the key commands, but when you have a mouse with scroll option you can easelly scroll
down for altitude etc.

I think is the way how PDGM they software program.. read the forums at the website and search for FSpassenger. You get a few hits.

Yes, these topics have been discussed quite a bit in the past. The forum has a great search feature, however since you're new here, I'll
help you out a bit. Check here for information regarding the light penalty: http://www.fspassengers.com/?action=faq&question=34

If you scroll down to my largest post on that thread, you'll see my explanation of realistic light use (at least for Southwest Airlines 737's).

The key commands to set heading, course, altitude, etc. via the autopilot MCP panel, DO NOT work on the PMDG aircraft. The
commands to set the different radios (COM, NAV, ADF, etc.) work just fine, and I frequently use them to simulate the co-pilot setting them.
Realistically, the captain will normally set the MCP appropriately, and it's not that hard to do in the PMDG 737.

Hope this helps.
