Boeing-Type Glass Cockpit
The Glass Cockpit setup with regard to positioning and sizing has already been discussed in the GENERAL
section of this document. Here, we will discuss a little bit about how the Glass Cockpit functions and what
further options are selectable by you and what you must set in order for the Glass Cockpit to function
properly.
Step 1 Aircraft Type
The Glass Cockpit will detect from MSFS the number of engines your specific flight Model has. This will
automatically change the engine display on the EICAS to the number of engines the flight model has. But
the Glass Cockpit still needs more information from you which will be discussed shortly.
If you selected a three engine aircraft (such as the 727) it will also display the appropriate number of
engines. This is an automatic function of the Glass Cockpit Software.
Please note that primary development of the Boeing Glass Cockpit is aimed at the 737. Secondary
development covers to a slightly lesser degree the 767, 777 and 747 types. This is because due to the
generic nature of the Glass Cockpit we can extend features to cover these other aircraft. We also cover the
EFIS modes of the 737 and usually this is an airline specific option (examples shown later). These various
options are selected by the ESC menu.
Apart from detecting the number of Engines your aircraft has the Glass Cockpit also needs to know a great
deal of other parameters. These are generated through text files. These files are associated by aircraft
type. Because sometimes the Glass Cockpit is run alone without the CDU software, there are two ways of
setting the specific aircraft type so that the Glass Cockpit knows the various performance characteristics
and FMA modes to display.

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
