MCDU display problem please report error massage after latest update

[Vonduck]

Hi JL,

All going well with the software and my new Skalarki FCU!

Today after the auto update whenever i try to initialise the aircaft in the MCDU, the message comes up MCDU display error..please report issue..

I guess this is what i am meant to do then, let you know...

Anyone else having this kind of issue? Solutions?

Cheers

Hi,

Do you have several .bin files in the C:\A320FMGS\Navdata folder (or the path you installed the software in)?
Can you put the FMGSserverLog.txt online?

Regards,
JL

[Vonduck]

Hi JL,

I reinstalled a previous version just to get flying but here are the files you asked for at this stage... (i will reinstall the newer version and see if it still has the errors)

10051

Hope this helps JL!

Cheers

Doug

Cant seem to attach the log file?

[Vonduck]

Log file hopefully attached...

[jeehell]

copy and paste it

[Vonduck]

Yeh i tried but says its too big... only 30,000 letters allowed... do you need all of the file or just the last part?

[Vonduck]

I did remember that i installed some new scenery not long ago... should i delete the BIN files and let them regenerate?

Just did the auto update and problem seems to be gone! How very odd! Sorry to have cost you some time JL!

Will see if it occurs again and report back... most peculiar!

[jeehell]

Let's say first (before it starts being always the same)and last parts.
Scenery should not be an issue though itst best to have everything up to date.

[Vonduck]

OK here we go.. the first and last parts..hopefully of some assistance JL!

Cheers

Doug

Hey all, just an informal request if we can post the most pressing bugs on the FMGS bug tracker. It helps JL keep track of all outstanding issues.

Thank you.

Hey i had the same problem.
Additional to that i couldn't get the map to show anything. The solution for me was to reinstall the ND and PFD client in another direction. Don't ask me why that did the job. I guess that had something to do with the navdata. http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29010

Hallo JL,

With today's version I get the MCDU DISPLAY PROBLEM.

See the attached log.

Thanks and regards,

Hello JL,

I am having issues with the mcdu when inserting a flight plan. I have flown this flight like 4 times with no issues.

The flight is from kmco to kbos. The sid from kmco is the mcoy9 with trans sav. From sav the route goes to airway j55 then chs to j79. From here we use trans jkf and star robuc1 for the arrival at kbos.

When inserting the plan i go to sav and select airways and insert the plan with the 3 airwas mentioned above and it does not enter them. It only enters airway chs and then orl followed by another orl.

I have deleted the .bin files, reinstalled the navdata and again recreated the .bin files with no luck. I reinstalled fmgs 38.5 and updated it again with no luck. I have been at it for 3 hours and nothing. I am running everything as administrator. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if posted in the wrong section, i just think its a display issue since i am not inserting the 2 orl points on the flight plan

[jeehell]

Hi,

I'll try the FPLN today if I get the time to.

Hello :-)

yesterday I've installed the actual 38.5-exe on the system followed by auto-updates, then I've deleted the old .bin files from the navdata folders as described, started the FMGS server, waited to get the new .bin files and copied them in every navdata folder.
While programming the MCDU, I've also got the message "MCDU Display Error - Please Report" for several times. Mostly when I tried to delete "FPLN DISCONTINUITY" but not always. Navdata is up-to-date. Any suggestions or solutions?

Best regards,
Bon

[gunterat]

Hello,
did anybody find a solution? (As the former suggestions did'nt really help).
In my case I connot reach thr PROG and the PERF-Page because I'm getting the error-message!

Hallo Günter,

I had the same problem and it went away just like that. It has not returned since. Only JL should be able to help you.

Best regards,

[Stephan Schwarz]

Hello Guys,

today I met with Mario, another Jeehell user, and he had the same problem with the MCDU message. We were able to solve this by using my AControls.cfg and JoySW.cfg files.

I have attached both, so feel free to download and try it out.

Regards,
Stephan

Hello, I am trying to setup the MCDU as the FO side -- now all I get is a blank screen after I run FO_MCDU.exe

MCDU.exe displays fine (captain side). External power is applied.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

MCDU FO side only powers on after engine start, is this the correct operation? Regards.

[Pim van Vrijaldenhoven]

Hallo,

In my system with Skalarki hardware I don't see this problem. Make sure that both AC and DC bus 2 is powered. I did some checking and I can duplicate it with only GEN2 OFF and BUS TIE OFF, but then the F/O side (PFD, ND and Lower ECAM) are off.

Best regards,

--pim

[OmniAtlas]

Tried it again today, and the FO MCDU seems to be working fine now. Strange...

Edit -- I only started FO MCDU.exe and not the captain MCDU side, this might have been the culprit.
