Hi everybody just bought captain 757 for my flight simX and I understand that to fly using auto pilot i need to program the CDU properly. Is there a step by step guide for a dummey like me explaining how to do it. The pdf that comes with the disk goes staight into things like LSK something or other I really am lost.

thanks

LSK stands for line select key, which corresponds to the keys that are near the FMS screen and have dashes (-) on them. They generally have numerical designators and are numbered 1-6, top to bottom. For example, LSKL1 stands for the top left button of the FMS, while LSKR6 corresponds to the bottom right button. That's hardly any sort of tutorial, but it might make the manual a bit more tolerable.

PMDG has a posted tutorial for the 747-400. Although the airplane is different, the FMC setup will remain the same throughout all Pegasus FMC's. Basically the only things that'll change is the aircraft weights.
