Dark Display GC/CDU

[David Rabiner]

Hi.

I have had PFD set with StartElecOff=On and StartElecAvionics=On, and I
can't figure out a way within pmSystems to get the displays to light up.
The only way I've found is to turn those variables off and start with the
displays on. Is there a way around this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I've had the same problem. PMsys does not activate Avionics, so you have do
it manually.

Hi all, I use this way:
Make shure this line is in sysvar.txt:

3103 1 fsAvionics

and then add to [logics] in pmsys737.txt file or what file you are using:

fsAvionics = batt1

and in PFD-konfig:

StartElecOff=Off
StartElecAvionics=On

Now the avioniks and PFD/ND/EICAS will switch on if Master-Batt on PMSystem

is switched to on

Hi, Phil.

Well, I thought about adding a line of code that attaches FS Avionics to the

FS Battery.

I guess I was wondering how they turn the displays on and off in the actual

airplane, or if it simply activated by powering on the battery. I would
think that if there is a switch, I would think it is up on the overhead
somewhere.

A hokey workaround is to attach it to the wheel well light or something else

that is currently without much use.

Anybody know how they turn the displays on and off in a 737?

There you go, Thomas. Terrific. Are the avionics displays attached
directly to the battery switch in a 737?

Hi David,
I don`t know, but this is only one way to switch it on.
You can make a New Switch in PMSystem to switch on the Avionics.
I think you can also switch seperatly PFD/ND/EICAS on/off with the include
routine:

if not pwr
pmCaptPFDInop = 1
pmCaptNDInop = 1 [.5]
pmFONDInop = 1 [.7]
pmFOPFDInop = 1 [.3]
pmSD1Inop=1 [.7]
pmCDUInop=1
else
pmCaptPFDInop = 0
pmCaptNDInop = 0
pmFONDInop = 0
pmFOPFDInop = 0
pmSD1Inop=0
pmCDUInop=0 [3]
endif

I did`t try it jet.
But for this the

3102 1 fsBattery
3103 1 fsAvionics
must be set to ON (1).
Then you have set this with a Switch and not with PWR like now in
pmsys737.txt.
