- The TFM Control Key, (Right Bracket by default): Press this key prior each time you would like to retrieve or change announced information on the fly.
- The TFM Menu: To access this menu, press the Alt key.
- aircraft selection in the tfm main menu is quite important, as it enables the rest of TFM’s features. To set this, open the tfm menu bar with alt, and choose the appropriate airplane in the “choose aircraft” submenu
- Access the aircraft menu with alt followed by r. Some important items include the pfd, mcp and aircraft panels.
- The FMC can also be found in this menu, and is the heart of any PMDG aircraf
- -Some users tend to pop out windows that are frequently used. These include the MCP, either FMC, and the PFD. To pop out a window, open the window first, then press the Alt key, followed by the letters o, then p.
