Compatibility Software
 
PROJECT MAGENTA

MCP


  • All MCP functions are supported by Project Magenta MCP

  • Project Magenta MCP have on board the driver to communicate with all CPflight harware so you have not to activate FS_COM together to PM MCP

  • There are two configuration line into MCP.ini file to configure PM to work with CPflight hardware ( one to select the communication port and one to enable the external input/output of MCPEX1)

  • Please read carefully http://www.cpflight.com/sito/dettagli/pm.asp before set PM MCP.ini file

  • If you use the MCPEX1 board remember to copy the file with txt extension by cpflight folder to Project Magenta MCP folder

  • The hardware send the command to the MCP of PM and wait a feed back from the software because the hardware don't know the real flight condition

  • So if you have some doubt about some function that is not engaged by PM please try to select with the mouse the function that give you the problem ( probably also with the mouse PM will not accept the command). This is a very important test to make ever before contact the CPflight support

  • For any doubt test ever the hardware with TestCPflightHardware.exe program

  • If with TestCPflightHardware the hardware work correctly meant that there is no hardware failure, but the problem is only inside to the software that don't accept the command. Please check your flight condition


EFIS

  • All EFIS functions are supported by Project Magenta MCP

  • You can see the EFIS selection on PM PFD display

  • Project Magenta support both the EFIS ( CP and FO side )

  • Select CP or FO side into Project Magenta PFD setting


RADIO

  • Radio modules are compatible with Project Magenta MCP


MIP

  • MIP board is fully compatible with PM

  • Overhead function annunciator (ELEC, APU... ) work only if you have PMSystem also




 
PMDG 737 and 747

MCP

  • All MCP, Efis, Radios functions are supported by PMDG 737 600/700/800/900 and PMDG 747 through the flightsimlabs dedicated driver

  • This try-before-you-buy downloadable driver provides a fully working, area-limited (around Greece's Venizelos airport) version which can become fully enabled by purchasing a license key.

  • Also all MIP functions managed by PMDG panel work correctly with the flightsimlabs driver.

  • Download and install flightsimlabs driver on your PC. After run FS and into FSlabs menu select the com port used to communicate with CPflight hardware. Then click on connect button to start.

  • You can test the driver around the Atene airport. If you decided to buy the driver to flight in all the world you have to provide the hardware serial number ( number showed by the MCP in Course1 and IAS display at start-up ).
  • The hardware send the command to the MCP of PMDG ( both 737 than 747 ) and wait a feed back from the software because the hardware don't know the real flight condition

  • So if you have some doubt about some function that is not engaged by PMDG please try to select with the mouse the function that give you the problem ( probably also with the mouse PMDG will not accept the command). This is a very important test to make ever before contact the CPflight support

  • For any doubt test ever the hardware with TestCPflightHardware.exe program

  • If with TestCPflightHardware the hardware work correctly meant that there is no hardware failure, but the problem is only inside to the software that don't accept the command. Please check your flight condition


EFIS

  • All EFIS functions are supported by PMDG 737 600/700/800/900 and PMDG 747
RADIO

  • All Radio modules are compatible with PMDG 737 and PMDG 747


MIP

  • all MIP functions managed by PMDG panel work with MIP board



 
LVLD

MCP

  • All MCP functions are supported with LVLD767 using the LVLD SDK.

  • To communicate with LVLD767 you have to use the CPflight driver FS_COM.exe

  • The hardware send the command to FS_COM and wait a feed back from the software because the hardware don't know the real flight condition. FS_COM read the LVLD767 MCP data status before give a feed back to the hardware.

  • So if you have some doubt about some function that is not engaged by LVLD MCP please try to select with the mouse the function that give you the problem ( probably also with the mouse PM will not accept the command). This is a very important test to make ever before contact the CPflight support

  • For any doubt about hardware functionality test ever the MCP with TestCPflightHardware.exe program.

  • If with TestCPflightHardware the hardware work correctly meant that there is no hardware failure, but the problem is only inside to the software that don't accept the command. Please check your flight condition


EFIS

  • All EFIS functions are supported ( only CP side ), but there are some difference due to a different structure of the 737 EFIS and 767 EFIS

  • Please refer to this link http://www.cpflight.com/sito/dettagli/lvld.asp to know the EFIS functions corrispondce

  • You can select the Altimeter Pressure also

RADIO

  • Radio modules are compatible with LVLD767.


MIP

  • MIP board is not compatible with LVLD67.




 
DEFAULT FS737

MCP

  • MCP hardware support all function present on MCP of FS737 default

  • LNAV, VNAV, CWSA, CWSB and FD2 are not supported. You can assign different function to this button and switch using MCP_CONF program

  • To communicate with DEFAULT FS737 you have to use the CPflight driver FS_COM.exe

  • The hardware send the command to FS_COM and wait a feed back from the software because the hardware don't know the real flight condition. FS_COM read the DEFAULT FS737 MCP data status before give a feed back to the hardware

  • So if you have some doubt about some function that is not engaged by DEFAULT FS737 MCP please try to select with the mouse the function that give you the problem ( probably also with the mouse PM will not accept the command).This is a very important test to make ever before contact the CPflight support

  • For any doubt about hardware functionality test ever the MCP with TestCPflightHardware.exe program.

  • If with TestCPflightHardware the hardware work correctly meant that there is no hardware failure, but the problem is only inside to the software that don't accept the command. Please check your flight condition


EFIS

  • With new FSX at the moment you can select the Decision Height and the Altimeter Pressure

  • With previous version of FS only the Altimeter Pressure


RADIO

  • Radio modules are fully compatible with DEFAULT FS737
