Old MCDU and FCU from flightdecksolution with FMGS

[anzabon]

Hello guys,

I have bought an old MCDU and a FCU (Flightdecksolution) over ebay last year.
Now my questions:
- Does this old MCDU from 2006? work with Jeehell FMGS and how to connect it? I know, the old keyboard layout is different from the FMGS MCDU layout.
- Does the old FCU (I believe G2) also work with Jeehell FMGS?

Maybe via iitcreator?
And do I have to use SimConnect for connecting InterfaceIT hardware on my remote PC to my FMGS Server?

Lot of questions i know. Thank you for your patience and time.

I would e-mail Steve at FDS. I understand the new MCDU from FDS work; if not much has change between the iteration of the devices then it shouldn't be an issue.

Hello, i have the same problem now. Is there a way to use that MCDU with Jehell?

I have a 2015 FDS MCDU model. Instructions may be different for your model. right click on iitcreator (make sure you install all the FDS drivers first), select the board as MCDU.

It should activate next time hardware connect starts up.

Thank you...do u have a download link for that iit-creator please?

Can't find it on google.

When you install JL FMGS you need to install the FDS support modules.

Thank u for your help, but i think my MCDU is to old. IIT-Creator didn't find my hardware.

But i found another way with FSUIPC. I saved the keys with Jehells offsets (78EC) in FSUIPC (Key Presses) with this function:

"Offset Dword Setbits"

Now it works. I hope it will also work via WideFS. But i will have to buy 2 more PCs for that trial

I have the same problems. I can try the above solution for the old FDS MCDU. Going back to the original post I also have the FCU with the G2 card for which I have the drivers and up to now I use the AST interface program which has always had bugs so finding a way to use that in Jeehell will remove another obstacle to progress. I then still have one more problem and that is that I use Flight Deck Technology Simboards which are no longer made and supported; pity because they are really good. I have the drivers which only work in XP and the software has menu items to use with AST which work well. I am sure it must be possible to make them work in Jeehell but I don't know how to go about it. I know for items which are not on the menu I can go into the .ini file and make alterations so presumably I can change the AST offsets to Jeehell ones but this is not really my area of expertise. Has anyone else tried this?

Same problem here.... I guess you have to run some Tekworkx dll for the CDU. Which one did you use? Otherwise the CDU will not run without a proper dll...!?

Hi Barry, any idea if the new FDS FCU (G3) is fully compatible with JL FMGS and all features are functioning?

Thank you,
