The Glass Cockpit software loads a file in the local directory with the name PFD.SBP and displays it on the
ND. This file can change at any time, and can be reloaded by changing the ND mode or the range (with the
CDU it is fully automatic).
The current versions of the Glass Cockpit will automatically read any FS Flight Plan once it has been
saved. The last saved flight plan will then be displayed in the ND. For this, you have to share your FS Flight
Plan folder (normally under My Computer / XXX's Documents / Flight Simulator) for read/write access as
FSPLANS and it will be automatically recognized.

Boeing-Type CDU & RCDU
The CDU software’s user interface settings are found in the CDU program itself through navigating through
the menu and LSK keys. For effective operation of the CDU software you must perform the actions required
in the Network and Boeing Glass Cockpit Section first.
The following only describes specific program options available to you with regard to the CDU selectable
User Interface. It is not a guide to the operation of the CDU in its role as a Flight Management Computer.
The Project Magenta CDU 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 CDU is not
of any valued use without an ND display, you have performed the necessary tasks in the Network section
and the Boeing Glass Cockpit of this Manual.
To re-cap:
• File Sharing and the NetDir subfolder of the CDU must be shared
• The Glass Cockpit pfd.ini file must be edited and the text entry AircraftType=CDU must be set if
using the CDU software.
• No CDU ERROR messages are appearing, NETDIR ERROR in the scratch pad or a FAIL light.
The CDU 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 CDU (RCDU). The RCDU provides
the First Officer with an independent display and input device (exactly like on the real a/c). It operates
independently of the Main CDU, but as the Main CDU still performs the actual FMC computations, the Main
CDU program must be running for the RCDU to function.
The RCDU is run on a separate client computer to the CDU. This is networked in the same fashion as the
rest of the PM software.

The CDU software (and the RCDU) can be run as standalone CDU software solutions or in conjunction with
CDU hardware. The only difference to the two types of operation is that with hardware you will need to run
the CDU in full screen mode as you will no longer need to see the CDU Bitmap graphic. You can do this in
two ways, one by editing the CDU ini file and also through the user menu by pressing the MENU key twice
on the CDU graphic (as outlined in the “General” software section). You need to decide how you will use
the CDU. For this section we will assume a pure software usage when discussing the user options.
Step 1 CDU connected
Make sure MSFS is running and the CDU 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 Setting Aircraft Type
When the CDU starts you will be presented with an IDENT page. This gives information about the current
status. We will assume that MSFS is running and the Glass Cockpit is also running.
• Set the aircraft type by pressing the LSK next to the type of aircraft listed (top right of the CDU
screen).
• 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
CDU\Types folder of the Main CDU folder.

Step 3 Keyboard layout
Different aircraft have different Keyboard layouts. Despite having changed the aircraft type txt, you may
also want to match a specific key layout for that aircrafts CDU keyboard. This can be changed in two ways.
There is an automatic function and a manual function. The automatic function will load a typical keyboard
layout for the aircraft type you have selected in the IDENT page every time you select a new one. The
manual selection will mean that no change will take place until you manually edit the cdu.ini file. For the
