[No response] FCDU Panel not in FSX cockpit 737-800

[Tote]

Hi all

Downloaded the FSCaptain demo for FSX Steam. All seems to be working apart from the FCDU panel won't load in the cockpit, using the 737-800 default. I toggled the ctrl+shift+6 but still not in there. The FCDU installer has installed the aircraft, and the cfg file seems to be as per installation instrructions. Also, when I use the FCDU panel outside FSX, it sometimes crashes and have to reboot. Below is a copy of the cfg file, thanks.

Hi Tote,

welcome to the FSCaptain forum. It appears that the FCDU is correctly installed in the 737-800, but in Window 02. In that case, Shift-3 should open the FCDU, unless you assigned that shortcut to something else (unlikely, but a possibility). In any way, you should be abpe to open it through the FSX menu (Addons->FSCaptain). You can learn more about this on p. 12-13 of the User Guide.

There are two versions of the FCDU. One is a gauge and can be opened only from within FSX. The other one is a .exe file. It is worrisome that it crashes when you start it, that should obviously not happen. Can you send us (see blue link below) a zip file with your FSCaptain\Data\Log folder? Also, the crash report from the Windows Event Viewer would be helpful to understand the cause for your crashes. Please send the email to all of us and copy the address of this thread into your message so that everyone on the FSCaptain team knows what the logs are for.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Travis,

thank you for the reply. I have sent some logs files to the email on the forum. It doesn't seems to crash all the time, just occasionally.

The FCDU panel doesn't work with just the default 737 - 800, tried all the buttons.

[Travis]

Hello Tote,

That's odd... I use the default 738 very frequently, and your panel.cfg looks fine.

What happens when you try to open the FCDU using the 'menu item'?

Best,

[Tote]

Hi Travis
The menu inside fsx says toggle Ctrl shift 6, but still doesn't work. I have tried other jets, such as the a321 and it works, but not with the 738. Not sure why. Tried having the fcud in a different window, but still doesn't work.

[Tote]

Hi Travis

on the menu options, it doesn't say FCDU on the 737 - 800, but it does for the Airbus A321.

Below are the panel cfg files for both.

Hi all,

still the FCDU panel won't show up in the default 737 - 800 cockpit, but I did delete some add ons from the cfg file but the cockpit remain unchanged, so it's not updating the actual cockpit I'm using, but you will see the cfg file has the FCDU text on it as mentioned before.
I removed the FSDX sound effect panel from the cfg, so this should not be showing in the cockpit but it still did, so even though it looks like the cfg is updating, the cockpit in FSX isn't. The FCDU panel works on other aircraft's. Not sure if a cfg file is duplicating.

Thanks

Hi Tote,

I copied the contents of your B738 panel.cfg data into my B738's panel.cfg file and I'm able to use SHIFT-3, both menu items, and even Ctrl-Shift-6 to toggle the FCDU panel window.

If you don't have an FCDU entry in your "View" menu, could you please post a screenshot of what is visible there?

If your aircraft isn't showing the changes that you're making to your panel.cfg file, I can't imagine what might be going on.

For instance, there can only be one panel.cfg file in your \Panel\ folder... so if you edit that file, why wouldn't it show up in your aircraft?

With regards,

[codetrucker]

Late to the party, but did this ever get resolved? I have the same issue. New thread created here... fscaptain.proboards.com/thread/4287/old-guy-make-work-help

Hi Calvin,

We never heard any more from the OP, so we're unsure if the problems were ever resolved.

Best,

[codetrucker]

Thank you for the heads-up.
