Airbus-Type MCDU
The MCDU software’s user interface settings are found in the MCDU program itself through navigating
through the menu and LSK keys. For effective operation of the MCDU software you must perform the
actions required in the Network and Boeing/Airbus Glass Cockpit Section first.
The following only describes specific program options available to you with regard to the MCDU selectable
User Interface. It is not a guide to the operation of the MCDU in its role as a Flight Management Computer.
The Project Magenta MCDU operates like its counter part in the real aircraft. There are a number of user
configurable options to make it simulate your particular aircraft type. It is assumed that as the MCDU is not
of any valued use without an ND display, you have performed the necessary tasks in the Network section
and the Airbus / Boeing Glass Cockpit of this Manual.
To re-cap:
• File Sharing and the NetDir subfolder of the MCDU must be shared
• The Glass Cockpit pfd.ini file must be edited and the text entry AircraftType=MCDU must be set if
using the MCDU software.
• No MCDU ERROR messages are appearing, NETDIR ERROR in the scratch pad or a FAIL light.
The MCDU software effectively is the main Flight Management Computer in the Project Magenta Glass
Cockpit System. We do not for simulation purposes at this time employ a redundant system. Within the
extended First Officer Glass Cockpit license it is possible to run a Remote MCDU (RMCDU). The RMCDU
provides the First Officer with an independent display and input device (exactly like on the real a/c). It
operates independently of the Main MCDU, but as the Main MCDU still performs the actual FMC
computations, the Main MCDU program must be running for the RMCDU to function.
The RMCDU is run on a separate client computer to the MCDU. This is networked in the same fashion as
the rest of the PM software.

The MCDU software (and the RMCDU) can be run as standalone MCDU software solutions or in conjunction
with MCDU hardware. The only difference to the two types of operation is that with hardware you will need
to run the MCDU in full screen mode as you will no longer need to see the MCDU Bitmap graphic. You can
do this in two ways, one by editing the MCDU ini file and also through the user menu by pressing the MENU
key twice on the MCDU graphic (as outlined in the “General” software section). You need to decide how
you will use the MCDU. For this section we will assume a pure software usage when discussing the user
options.
Step 1 MCDU connected
Make sure MSFS is running and the MCDU is connected to it. No FAIL or ERROR messages are appearing.
You have performed the actions in the NETWORK and GLASS COCKPIT sections of the manual.
Step 2 Airbus Setting Aircraft Type
When the MCDU starts it will default to the MCDU start page.
• Set the aircraft type by pressing the LSK next to the MODEL SELECT
• From the list shown, select the type of aircraft you will be using (this should match the type you
have already selected in MSFS)
• Once you have selected the aircraft type the you do not need to do this again, unless you wish to
fly a different type with different performance data
This in itself will set the specific performance data in the type txt reference file that is located in the
MCDU\Types folder of the Main MCDU folder.

Step 3 Airbus MCDU IRS Position
The MCDU needs to know where it is in the world just
like the MCDU on the actual aircraft. If you do not set
the MCDU position then parts of the Glass Cockpit
Displays will be blanked out from view with Amber
warning flags ATT and MAP.
To set the MCDU position, press the LSK key that is next to the INDEX option (bottom right). Then select
the LSK opposite the POS option. Now the position page will appear.
Press the LSK next to the ALIGN IRS and this will set the IRS position and the ABGC displays will display
normally.
Step 4 Airbus Additional Settings
The MCDU has additional settings that can be selected from the settings page. The following are required
to be set for your own preference. This only needs to be done once unless you decide to change these
options at a later date. Press the MENU key twice, and then select the SETTINGS LSK
