your system.
If you are running the MCDU software in combination with the GC, select the LSK next to the aircraft Type
on the IDENT page. Press the MENU button and then select IDENT. The aircraft types that are stored in

your “Types” subdirectory in the Main MCDU program folder are shown as selectable options. Once
selected, the new type will be shown on the Ident page.
Please note: it is not a good idea to select an A340 type txt file when you only have an A320 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 MCDU program subfolders
and the Glass Cockpit.
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 ABGC license. If you selected without registering it, the Glass Cockpit will run into communication
conflicts on the ND display modes amongst other things.
The Airbus Glass Cockpit follows the same general software concept rules all the Project Magenta Glass
Cockpit software. The ESC key is used as the main user interface menu to switch and select various
options.

Airbus systems
On the Airbus, the lower ECAM is used to display the status of a/c systems. The data is generated only by
pmSystems. The pmSystems software must be running and connected to your network before the extra
systems data will be displayed on the lower ECAM.

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
