    DU Selection

    I use the F6 Expandes mode. Using this mode it is possible to switch the display units with the offest $04F4 (Values 6xx, .... check PM documentation). The positioning of the gauges is a little tricky, but at the end it worked. If someone needs the SIOC script please contact me.

    hi -

    there are PM offsets listed in http://www.projectmagenta.com/resources/PMOffsets.html - 04F4 - Size 2 -

    10 PFD/ND -> PFD -> ND (like pressing F4,F1,F2 in GC)
    11 PFD/EICAS
    12 EICAS with Standby
    13 EICAS without Standby
    14 FPV (Boeing)
    15 Standby Displays OFF
    16 Sets EICAS on ND in F4 and F5 pages


    Maybe there's some way here to switch displays to other screens -

    DU switching

    I use offset 04F4 and the values 600, 601, 602, 603,....

    Main Boeing-Type Display Unit Captain
    Captain Main DU 600 + switch position from 0
    Copilot Main DU 610 + switch position from 0
    Captain Engine DU 620 + switch position from 0
    Copilot Engine DU 630 + switch position from 0

    Works on F6 page Expanded

    This works fine and I use the MIP DU selector to switch between display modes.

    Hi Delphi,

    I am using the same method as yours ie. 4F4 offsets 6xx. However, I encountered a problem where the other buttons using 4F4 3xx for lower eicas displays originally found in the pmSystem did not work properly. Did you encounter the same problem when you employ 6xx in your system?

    Hi,
    unfortunately I have the lower EICAS not in operation yet. Still looking for a suitable TFT.

    I have this sort of "cobbled up" in a weird fashion. There are "details" that you'll have to solve, like exact screen positions.

    Try using a multi-mionitor VGA switch to change the computer that is driving a given display. I have one mounted on the MIP that allows me to vary what is dislayed on two of the MFDs.

    best,

    sending 600+ values to the 04F4 offset while GC is on F6 page is not working for me.

    Wondering is this implemented in a newer build? I am running GC 437 build.

    What is F6 "Expanded" mode mean? I just hit F6 and I see PFD/ND/Engines page displayed on the screen. And then when I send 600, 601, 602, 603 values to the 04F4 offset, nothing is happening..

    Thanks

    problem solved.

    As i suspected, it is to do with "expanded" F6 mode. I was just hitting the F6 key, instead "expanded F6" mode is a selection on the "options" screen. So, first hit "Esc" key to go to the options screen and select the "expanded F6" mode from there.

    Once i have done that, 600 - 604 values are working just fine.

    This works with CPFlight's MIP737 board and PM GC in extended mode but...

    how to permanently set/fix the required Glass Cockpit displays (respectively on the outboard, inboard and lower display-units in extended mode) with the MIP737 ?
    I can drag and resize the displays allright, but their position is not "saved".

    Turning the selector knobs seem to bring back a "default" display.
