MCP FD Switch light

Featured Replies

Hi!I was browsing through some cockpit pics on www.airliners.com and I noticed that the real cockpit has a light above each FD switch on the MCP, I followed through and found some info about this light and its purpose. The purpose is to indicate which FD is "In command" The first FD switch that is flicked will illuminate its respective light showing that its in command, the second FD switch that gets flicked will not illuminate its ligjhts as its not in command. I'll throw in 2 pics, one from www.airliner.net, and one from the PMDG.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/48744.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/48745.jpgIs it possible for you to include this in your SU2 uopdate or any other quickfix? It would make the PMDG more accurate to the real cockpit.. :)

Don't worry Lars,This has been added in SU2. There have been a few pictures posted recently, go back about a week or so.

Cheers, Søren Dissing

Great! :D Thanks!

There have also been many other visual changes on the MCP and the zoom panel :D Check it out:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/48795.jpgHow many changes can you spot? :D

I have redone the MCP including adding the F/D light, IAS KNOB, V/S Wheel, C/O (Cross Over button), A/P disconnect bar (Yellow behind when disconnected), screw placements, A/T ARM Light etc etc...
