Problem with Soft MCDU and new Skalarki MCDU

[dkreiskott]

Hi all,
I need help with a Skalarki MCDU. I have received a new MCDU, which is no longer connected via VGA but via HDMI.
The monitor has a native resolution of 1980 x 1080. I cannot set the screen of the Soft MCDU correctly at this resolution.
I have tried different resolutions and also 4:3 mode. That doesn't work because the MCDU only uses the full width of the screen at 1920 x 1080.

Either I don't have the full width, or the text disappears from the display at the top and bottom.

I'm sure someone here has already managed this with the newer MCDUs from Skalarki. What settings do I need to make here?




Thanks for help.

Latest versions have a scaling possibility in the MCDU options, you can scale vertical and horizontal independently.

Hi JL,

thats great, but, has the problem with the tanks been fixed in 61.13.2, otherwise this version cannot be used.
There is no comment about this in your changelog.

-Implemented MCDU& EIS scaling (independently from window size). Access via right click options.

yes, I see your comment for MCDU and EIS.
But that is not what I mean. What is with the fuel problem in 61.13? Is it solved?

If not, 61.13 isn't usable with this bug.

There was no release since then...

Hi Dieter, I have also the MCDU with HDMi from Skalarki. Even though the native resolution is 1920x1080, you need to set them to 1024x768 in the Win resolution settings. Then everything looks as it should.

No, as I wrote in my first post, that doesn't work. At this resolution, the entire display isn't used.
Basically, JL has already found a solution, but I can't use version 61.13.2 because of the fuel bug.

Dieter, you should try to delete the MCDU.ini and let it rebuild by FMGS start. Then setup the screen osition from fresh

...strange that mine is different then...by the way, you didnt wrote about this specific resolution, only from "different ones"....

Hi Dieter
i find this solution in my documents:
Das Display der MCDU hatte immer schwarze Ränder und hat nicht sauber in den kleinen Monitor gepasst. Habe in den Windows-Einstellungen das Display auf 1280x1024 gesetzt (1:1:25) und es passt wunderbar

The MCDU display always had black edges and didn't fit neatly into the small monitor. I set the display to 1280x1024 (1:1:25) in the Windows settings and it fits perfectly

my Skalarki-MCDU is also connected via HDMI
good luck
