January 1, 197056 yr Author Hi Lefteris I use the PMDG737 on FS9.1. I have the CPFlight MCP?plus the?Captain EFIS and FO EFIS on my setup. When I use the CPFlight FSCom driver, the First Officer EFIS has limited funtions =?ND Range selector, Stations/Waypoints/Airports/Data only work. Which is fine for when I have a Co-Pilot. But when I use the Flightsimlabs driver, nothing works on the FO EFIS. Any reason for this? (I have not purchased it yet, just trying it at the moment).
January 1, 197056 yr Hello- the PMDG 737 does not support F/O functionality at all (there's no F/O panel, and in the VC, all right-side instruments are copies of the left side). The 747-400, however, does have an F/O side, and there, dual EFIS is fully supported! Hope that helps!
January 1, 197056 yr Author Hi Lefteris Thank you for your reply. Let me explain exactly what I refer to. I only use the 2D Panel on the PMDG 737. Although there?are no F/O functions on the PMDG 737, my F/O EFIS limited functions do work on the ND. Using the CPFlight driver: On the F/O EFIS, if you change the ND Range, turn on/off the Stations/Waypoints/Airports/Data,?the changes happen on the ND. So if I have a a friend flying with me as F/O and he wishes to change e.g. the ND Range, he can do so. I am just wondering why the F/O EFIS doe's not work at all?with your driver, but?works with the CPFlight Driver. Many thanks Terry PC Pilots Ireland
January 1, 197056 yr Hi Terry- (I think we flew back from Paderborn once) I see what you mean. Due to the different nature of programming (the drivers follow the PMDG code example / paradigm), this is no longer possible, as it would generate conflicts between the two EFIS modules (not to mention that it's a bit unrealistic ;-)). It's done though for the 747, where the F/O side is active.
January 1, 197056 yr Author Hi Lefteris Yes, we did fly back from Paderborn together last year. You are of course correct - conflicts between both EFIS and very unrealistic :-) Many thanks Terry PC Pilots Ireland
