But the Glass Cockpit still needs more information from you which will be discussed shortly.
The number of engines is shown on the ECAM display.
Apart from detecting the number of Engines your aircraft has the Airbus Glass Cockpit also needs to know a
great deal of other parameters. These are generated through text files developed by Project Magenta and
feed the GC with further data. These files are associated by aircraft type. Because the Glass Cockpit is
sometimes run without the MCDU, there are two ways of setting the specific aircraft type so that the Glass
Cockpit knows the various performance characteristics and FMA modes to display.

Step 2, Aircraft Type Selection
Method A – NO MCDU SOFTWARE
You will need to open the Glass Cockpit ini file (abpfd.ini) located in the main program folder (ABGC). Open
this file with Notepad.
Find the following entry:
AircraftType=
As you are not running the MCDU software (in this example) you must specify the aircraft type you want to
fly here. In the Glass Cockpit folder are a number of aircraft type files. For example A320.txt. The files are
all in a plain text format and thus have the aircraft type followed by the file extension .txt. You can also
download more of these files from the Updates section of the PM website.
If you wanted to fly the A320 in the above example you would enter the name of that txt file.
AircraftType=A320.txt
The Glass Cockpit is now set to read the information in the aircraft specific text file.
Method B – WITH MCDU SOFTWARE
If you have the MCDU software as part of your Project Magenta system (highly advisable) then the above
entry must be set as follows in the ABGC ini file:
AircraftType=CDU
This forces the Glass Cockpit not to read aircraft txt files in its own local directory but from the MCDU
programs “types” subfolder. This has one main advantage, from the MCDU program you can select your
aircraft type automatically and very quickly without having to manually edit each Glass Cockpit ini file on
your system.
If you are running the MCDU software in combination with the GC, select the LSK next to the aircraft Type
on the IDENT page. Press the MENU button and then select IDENT. The aircraft types that are stored in

your “Types” subdirectory in the Main MCDU program folder are shown as selectable options. Once
selected, the new type will be shown on the Ident page.
Please note: it is not a good idea to select an A340 type txt file when you only have an A320 or two engine
flight model connected to MSFS. For obvious reasons you should match the type file to the type of aircraft
you intend to fly in MSFS.
The diagram illustrates the data exchange
between the MCDU program subfolders
and the Glass Cockpit.
The Glass Cockpit also needs to know whether it is operating as a Captains Display or a Co-Pilots display.
This is selected under the user options in the ESC menu. Note that the Co-pilots display requires a special
second ABGC license. If you selected without registering it, the Glass Cockpit will run into communication
conflicts on the ND display modes amongst other things.
The Airbus Glass Cockpit follows the same general software concept rules all the Project Magenta Glass
Cockpit software. The ESC key is used as the main user interface menu to switch and select various
options.

Airbus systems
On the Airbus, the lower ECAM is used to display the status of a/c systems. The data is generated only by
pmSystems. The pmSystems software must be running and connected to your network before the extra
systems data will be displayed on the lower ECAM.

Airbus-Type MCDU
The MCDU software’s user interface settings are found in the MCDU program itself through navigating
through the menu and LSK keys. For effective operation of the MCDU software you must perform the
actions required in the Network and Boeing/Airbus Glass Cockpit Section first.
The following only describes specific program options available to you with regard to the MCDU selectable
User Interface. It is not a guide to the operation of the MCDU in its role as a Flight Management Computer.
The Project Magenta MCDU operates like its counter part in the real aircraft. There are a number of user
configurable options to make it simulate your particular aircraft type. It is assumed that as the MCDU is not
of any valued use without an ND display, you have performed the necessary tasks in the Network section
and the Airbus / Boeing Glass Cockpit of this Manual.
