Hello
this is may first installation of Jeehell. After finishing the "FDS InterfaceIT Creator" the keys are working well, I can write into the scratchpad.
But the screen is black.
I could not find any possibilitiy to activate/configure the display (backlightning, dimming....)
Can anybody help me?
Thank you, Guenter!
The MCDU will only turn on when the batteries are activated on the overhead panel. This turns on the LCD screen and the backlighting. Subsequently, you either have to apply external power, or start the APU for full access to the MCDU.
Make sure you start mcdu.exe, rightclick, activate 'Display Only' and have moved it over to the FDS MCDU desktop.
Dimming with the knob is not possible at this time.
The back lighting and system will shutdown when you turn off the batteries, however the LCD remains turned on. JL has said he may work on future implementation of these features when he has time.
Thank you very much for the infos!It seems that my problem is on another side, because MCDU.exe, Batteries and APU are all on. I have an active MCDU-window too, but I can not drag it to the MCDU-display, therefore the display is inactive.Okay, now I know that the MCDU-screen should be activated, as soon as the above 3 functions are on and nothing else must be done. I will try it again.Best regardsGuenter
Did you try to assign the buttons manually or did you choose cpt/fo mcdu by right clicking on the device? If you assign the buttons manually the mcdu display won't turn on.

Hi Daniel,
thank you for the answer!
i assigned the Buttons manually.
..................did you choose cpt/fo mcdu by right clicking on the device ?? I dot know what you mean!?
However, the FMGS-Server Shows: Capt.MCDU-connected.
I have one more Chance: (from Wilco-installation) I am using a VGA-splitter cable for Cpt+FO-MCDU-Display Maybe that here is a Problem (although it worked fine in the past)
Best regards

OK try the following:Quote:

Not sure if that's the right place to click there because i only helped a friend with that problem once.
- There should be an option to choose the cpt mcdu or the fo mcdu.
- Now it should turn on
The reason for that is, there is a preset for these mcdu's by fds and the display has an on off switch in the i/o i guess.

Hello Daniel,
"Not sure if that's the right place...." - oh, yes it's the right place :)
That was the solution - Thank you very much for helping!
