Step 2 Type Selection
Method A – NO CDU SOFTWARE
You will need to open the Glass Cockpit ini file (pfd.ini) located in the main program folder (GC). Open this
file with NotePad.
Find the following entry:
AircraftType=
As you are not running the CDU software you must specify the aircraft type you want to fly here. In the
Glass Cockpit folder are a number of aircraft type files. For example B737700.txt. The files are all in a plain
text format and thus have the aircraft type followed by the file extension .txt. You can also download more
of these files from the Updates section of the PM website.
If you wanted to fly the 737700 in the above example you would enter the name of that txt file.
AircraftType=B737700.txt
The Glass Cockpit is now set to read the information in the aircraft specific text file.
Method B – WITH CDU SOFTWARE
If you have the CDU software as part of your Project Magenta system (highly advisable) then the above
entry must be set as follows in the pfd.ini file:
AircraftType=CDU
This forces the Glass Cockpit not to read aircraft txt files in its own local directory but from the CDU
programs “types” subfolder. This has one main advantage, from the CDU program you can select your
aircraft type automatically and very quickly without having to manually edit each Glass Cockpit ini file on
your system.
If you are running the CDU software in combination with
the GC, select the LSK next to the aircraft Type on the
IDENT page (usually the first page you see after the CDU
starts) and here after selecting this LSK further aircraft
types that are stored in your “Types” subdirectory in the
Main CDU program folder are shown as selectable options.
Once selected, the new type will be shown on the Ident
page.
Note, it is not a good idea to select a 747-400 type txt file
when you only have a 737 or two engine flight model
connected to MSFS. For obvious reasons you should match
the type file to the type of aircraft you intend to fly in MSFS.

The diagram illustrates the data exchange
between the CDU program subfolders and
the Glass Cockpit.
Selecting displays
The normal type of 737 instrument layout. Generally this
layout is used for the 777, 747 as well. Specific other settings
in the software will make the mode annunciation and
indications type specific to the different aircraft types
(discussed later).
The 737EFIS mode type displays. This is an airline-specific
option. Note that this display is not for use for 737-400 and
below types. It is a pure 737EFIS display for 737-600 and
above. The mode annunciation on the 737-300 and 400 series
is different to that of the later series and follows a different
logic on the FMA.
The 767 type display is a secondary development of the Glass
Cockpit. It will display the 767 displays with further options
that can be select via the ESC menu, such as analogue AI and
the additional Radio Altitude Tape that is an airline specific
option on the 767. These displays can be used for the 757
although not type specific.

The Glass Cockpit also needs to know whether it is operating as a Captains Display or a Co-Pilots display.
This is selected under the user options in the ESC menu. Note that the Co-pilots display requires a special
second GC license. If you selected without registering it, the Glass Cockpit will run into communication
conflicts on the ND display modes amongst other things.
On some airline 737 aircraft configs only a four type ND mode selection display is possible rather than the
full modes. This is selectable as an option in the ESC menu. Generally the norm is to use the full mode
selection.
If you fly any aircraft that is reliant to a lesser or greater degree on a lower EICAS display (like the 777 or
747-400) then whilst these displays are available within the Glass Cockpit package, in order to send them
valid data you will need to run pmSystems. Without pmSystems the displays will just indicate place holders
but no data ill be displayed. Note that the 737 does not have system information on the lower EICAS and
as such, to display the secondary EICAS information you do not need pmSystems for the 737. Most of the
system status on the 737 is indicated to the pilots via the Glare Shield Warning lights and the overhead
panel itself.

Glass Cockpit INI Settings
There are various items you can customize both within the program and in the program's INI file, PFD.INI.
