Well, i did not make them work. They just APPEARED when I pressed Ctrl F - the standard FS shortcut for Flight Director ON, but did not react to mode selected on the FD control panel. They just stood in the zero pitch, zero bank position

EDIT: I made two screens to explain the problem. The first one show situation before and the second one after CtrlF is pressed

I haven't even loaded the B737-200C for several years now as I have been head-down on many other projects. Imagine my surprise then to have found that the FD on both sides has indeed quit working for some odd reason that has me scratching my head in wonder... :o

I am terribly embarrassed that your original post fell through the cracks and only recently was recovered by Osh and brought to my attention! :oops:

I cannot promise a 'quick fix' for this, but I will set aside some time in the coming days to make a forensic examination of this issue to find and fix whatever has gone pear-shaped.

Thanks for devoting your time to this. I already loaded the 737 with XMLVars gauge which outputs all LVar numbers and they seem to be OK for me. The FD logic seems to be transmitting the correct data, but the instrument itself fails to process it and/or show properly
