one size. Therefore to avoid us putting in limitations of this nature, you have to set and position the
instruments. Once this is done, the software will remember the positioning. If you change monitor, reinstall,
or alter the resolution then you will have to perform this process again.
First, please navigate through all the various instrument display modes available. This mainly refers to the
Glass Cockpit type software. With other software like Quickmap, pmSystems and the GAIFR there are no
multiple screens to deal with, but much of the sizing and positioning is common across software platforms.
By pressing the Function keys F1 through to F10 you can cycle through each display mode on the Glass
Cockpits. Whilst on the selected page, you can position and size the instruments.
Cycling through the pages will give you different instrument views.
The surrounding Bitmap Frames can be turned on / off via the ESC
menu options.
As an example, here is the F4 page, most commonly used for the
Captains PFD and ND display run on a single TFT display. At
present the sizing is not correct. Both the PFD and ND have to be re-positioned and re-sized.
Positioning can be achieved either via the keyboard or the mouse. By placing the mouse over any
instrument, you can move the combination around. To move individual instruments, you can use a
combination of the CTRL, SHIFT, ALT and arrow keys. Please try this. It is first best to get a rough sizing,
using the + - keys on the numeric keypad, and from there on introduce the ALT, CTRL and SHIFT keys in
combination with the ARROW keys. The more you use the technique the clearer it will become. This
process applies to all pages. Additionally on the standby instruments page (F10) you can position single
items by either individually selecting them with a RIGHT CLICK of the mouse or you can select each
instrument by pressing the TAB key making each instrument “active” for positioning/sizing. To change the
spacing between the ND and PFD you can also use the Y and U keys as an alternative option.

The left image shows the result of re-positioning and sizing. The right image represents the end result, a
single monitor behind main panel (hardware) cutouts to give you the respective displays running on a
single screen. The software can also be rotated if monitors need to be mounted upright for spacing
purposes. This is again achieved using the ESC key menu interface.
Once you have positioned your displays, to prevent any inadvertent re-positioning by mistake, you can
select from the ESC menu the option to LOCK DISPLAYS. Once this is selected the re-sizing and positioning
functions will no longer work.
Differences MCP & CDU
MCP The MCP program has its own interface with options selectable by pressing the ESC key. Here you
can also select the specific type of aircraft you will use. This should also match to the type you select in the
CDU types IDENT page (see CDU section).
CDU The CDU main user interface is entered by pressing the MENU key twice on the CDU software
graphic or your CDU hardware. For the display setting these can be entered here or by editing the ini file.

Press the MENU key twice, now various options are available. If, for example you want the display settings,
select the LSK (Line Select Key) by that option. Now a new screen will present the various display modes.
By selecting full screen mode, the CDU bitmap will disappear and just the CDU display will be shown. This
is usually the option when using hardware. The display can then be resized via your hardware LSK keys as
shown or via your keyboard using the sizing / positioning keys.

About INI Files
Each Project Magenta program has an ini file. This file resides in the main program directory (for example
mcp.ini or GAIFR.ini). The ini file has many of the same options that the ESC menu function offers, but it
also has additional ones that are being updated on a more regular basis for different customer
requirements.
The ini files can be edited via the normal windows Notepad text editor. The files are self documenting. The
function is listed on the left, and a description of the action on the right. You only need to start editing ini
files for specific types of application; generally most options are available in the ESC menu.
A common example of ini file editing requirements is when connecting hardware via a serial interface. In
the ini file you will see an entry for that specific hardware (if we have supported it) and you may have to
enter the specific comm. Port number that your hardware is connected to. In the example below, MCP
