FO MCDU display position not saved

Post by michael1508 »

Hi all,

my FO MCDU is not saving the position anymore after moving it to the right place.

This is really strange, as it was running before. So what has changed:
I have replaced my CPT MCDU (the new one has HDMI instead of VGA). All monitors are recogniced by Windows (2 PFD/ND and the 2 MCDU).
I can move and save every display to any screen and save it. Only the FO MCDU is always loaded in the default state, no matter, where I move it to.

I have even restored the complete FMGS folder from my backup. And I have deleted the MCDU.ini, but no change.

It's driving me crazy...any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael

which folder exactly? Softpanels?
Anyhow, I haven't changed any folder settings... and the CPT MCDU is working fine.

I also tried changing the parameters for left and top position directly in the MCDUS.cfg. But also no effect.

Currently using B 61.10.1
Also tried with the latest version B.61.13.

As this was working before and just started with reconnecting some of the displays it might be a conflict with Windows? It's just strange, that it only affects the FO MCDU, while the CPT MCDU is working fine.

Michael, sometimes it´s helps to delete the MCDU.ini and let rebuild a new one at start of MCDU with setup from scratch.

Hi Bernd, I also tried deleting the mcdu.ini
And I tried to restore all files from Backup.
Nothing helped so far.
