MCP and EFIS problems with RKsoftware

[DutchPilot007 0]

Hello everybody,

 

I hope you can help me with a problem.

Since a while I use the mcp & efis from opencockpits with the PMDG 737NGX.

Today I bought the FMC from opencockpits, and downloaded

RKsoftware to let it run.

 

The FMC runs fine, however, the MCP and EFIS are useless.

The EFIS isn't functioning at all, and the MCP shows wrong digits,

and when pressing a button on the mcp, it is pressing a different button

on the MCP on FSX.

 

I think there is a problem with the scripts, but I cant figure out what

it is. I'm running the ''OCP4NGX_MCP-EFIS-CDU v1.05.ssi'' by the way.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Niels,

What you describe is exactly the same problem that I was experiencing a week or so back. A quick message or two with Roark solved the problem for me.

 

Roark had a look at my files and this was his suggestion and it worked.

 

'Your problem is that you have the OCP4NGX_MCP-EFIS-CDU v1.05.ssi as the working sioc script. You need to use the OCP4NGX_MCP-EFIS-CDU_PP v1.05. ( the one with the _PP just before the version v.1.05).

 

You can download from www.flightsim4fun.com

 

You also need to modify the CONFIG_FILE line in sioc.ini so it links to the correct .ssi file ( The OCP4NGX_MCP-EFIS-CDU_PP v1.05).

 

If you make these changes it should work.'

 

Basically, I did not use the plug and play (_PP) .ssi scripts. I changed the scripts in sioc and updated the config and everything worked straight away. I hope this may be of some assistance to you.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for your reply. I did use the _PP.ssi scripts. However, the problem was that

I didn't install the Service Pack 'C' from PMDG. This solved the problems I had.

 

Thanks for your help.
