Landing and Parking Aircraft. Then after 1/2 an hour continue to make a new flight discovering that both course selectors on FMC is stuck. No change on display.. All other controls on FMC is working (like Speed and heading and altitude select and all switches and lights. Try to restart MF no change.
Even if using the mouse to change it on the display and not on hardware and it is not moving the numbers even if I can see that the knob is moving. The knob on the display is even turning when I use the hardware encoder but not any numbers.
Connector is showing actual displayed course.
I have to restart P3Dv4 to get them back to operating.
Anyone that has a good tip or explanation to why this happens all other controls on that Mega 2560 works. It has been repeated on the last 4 flights. Annoying to have to restart as it takes some time to do.

Hi

At first.... We talk about MCP .... Not FMC pretty sure.

In case of translation i not fully understand the problem.....

If you change the CRS with the Mouse ( in virtual cockpit) ..... you say "No Change" .
Do you mean also the Virtual CRS Displays no longer act to the input.... OR do you mean the Virtual e.g. change (e.g. from 130° to 129, 128 127 and so on BUT the Homecockpit Display stay at 130 all the time ?

If also the Virtual is broke i think these is a deeper Bug in PMDG.... If we talk just about the Max7219 Displays.... Then this sounds electrical.
Good Luck !

O coarse we are talking MCP: Sorry for the Mix UP.
The numbers on both virtual and and hardware (MAX) is stuck, but the knob on virtual is moving when I move knob on Hardware MCP.
I just discovered that if I switched off both FD switches and reselected FD1 then it worked ok again so probably a lockup in PMDG after landing.
Thanks
