Hi all simmers,

Well I have my new PC main running as well as all the newest builds and such,
and can now use ESC key to see your nice, new menu. However, I still
can't move each standby individually, only all. I try every key combo there
is. I can hit Tab and it flips thru each one, but thats it.

Katy, also said that I can drag the flap gauge with the mouse, I cant. I go
to the menu and x flap gauge and it appears at the bottom part of the
standbys, covering half the speed, I think and when I try dragging it,
nothing.

Are you trying to move the STDBY instruments on the F10 page?

Yes, I hit F10 and then try everything. Does the flap count as an F10er?
Thanks

Did you try to simply right-click on the center of the gauge
and drag it into a new position?

Hi Katy,

I,ve the same problem here.
I can only move the standby-instruments with the cursor-keys. Then all the
instr. move at the same time and all the same direction, not one by one.
You wrote before did you unlock them. How do i do that?

Greetings,
Ad

Hi Kathy,

In the meantime i found the display locked option in the program options
menu.
But that wasn't activated, so that can't be the problem.

Hi,

My displays are not locked and I am on F10. Everything is fine, except
nothing moves indiviually. I am going to try to change my keyboard, just to
see, but it seems that others have same problem.

Can it be that all of you have the display rotated?

Hi Enrico,

Indeed, i've a rotated 15" tft screen in an engravity B737 panel. You think
that's the reason that i can't move them individualy?

Hi,
I sent Enrico by PFD ini file, maybe he will see something. I do not have
anything rotated.

Randy,

I do not know what else to suggest but this... it was an
idea of Jonathan's a while back...

Download the pfd435e on www.projectmagenta.com/latest.html
and run it. (connected to FS or not)

Press F10.

Right-Click (not left) on one of the instruments.

You should see a green circle around the instument (I added
this). Do you?

The artificial horizon moves all of them, that is the anchor
point. So if you right-click (in the center) and drag, thus
keep the mouse button down and move the mouse, all
instruments move with the horizon.

Now select another instrument (right-click on the center of
the instrument), e.g. the RMI, you should see the circle
around it, and it would move as per above.

Do you see this happening?

Ciao

Enrico

Forgot one step, reset the instruments first with
Ctrl-Shift-R, just to be on the safe side.
