Hi folks, so while there has been no update from PMDG on this topic, I have done some investigation and added a workaround that supports the changed keypad layout. AviaServer however can not automatically detect which MCDU is fitted so I've added a settings option for it (right click the aviaServer icon and then click on Settings and scroll down to the bottom to see the new option). Version 1.3.0.0 has been released. Regards Mark

Hi, this is now fixed, although the root cause seems to be on iFly's side. I've now defaulted to white text in case I get an unexpected color flag. Should that look strange, please send me your logfile so that I can have a look! Regards Mark

Hi, not sure what you mean by minimized state - aviaServer does not show a UI on startup... And admin access rights are a requirement to start a web server and to connect to certain aircraft addons. Regards Mark

You are correct for any normal user. Obviously, there are some limits internally but this won't catch any normal user off guard. I hope you understand I won't go into too much detail as to how the licensing mechanism works but rest assured, your license request will go through. Regards Mark

Perhaps you have not seen this: As long as PMDG don't update the SDK, there is not much I can do unfortunately.

UPDATE: Scroll down to see the workaround. Hi folks, I have received a lot of emails regarding supporting the FANS 2/B for PMDG's 737. While the ground-work is done on my side, the SDK doesn't expose the needed information - as such keys that are new, such as VNAV, ATC and FMC COMM, can not be selected. Now in the case of ATC and FMC COMM this might just be acceptable for some, I consider the VNAV key to be essential. As such, I'm afraid we are stuck until PMDG release a revised SDK that contains this information. I'm confident this will happen in the not so distant future but until then, I'm afraid we will just have to wait. Regards Mark

Folks, my apologies for the appararent non-responsiveness here. First of all, let me put everyone at ease: aviaworx is by no account "abandoned". And yes, the FANS CDU option will come - before Summer 26. Until then, I hope you are enjoying the aviaworx products! Best regards Mark

Hi Jan, aviaworx is very much active. Not sure if you have contacted me directly in the meantime. I have also sent you a PM.

Holger, please contact me directly. We will arrange a webmeeting. [email protected]

You can try the browser version of the overhead - that doesn't have the icons. But the overhead will always respect the aspect ratio. It won't allow distorting. Regards Mark

Are you loading the freighter variant in MSFS?

Hi Oskar, that's a clear sign that the .ini settings are not correct. I have posted the path to the ini file for the 777 on the previous page. Have a look if you have the broadcasting flags set correctly there. If you don't have an .ini, try opening the regular MCDU inside the sim and change one of the preferences of the PMDG product itself.

You need to restart flightsim, then you should be all set.

Thanks Bob - couldn't have explained this any better 🙂

Sometimes 1 week turns into just 17 hours. Good news - aviaServer2024 1.2 has just been released and the iFly MAX is now working under MSFS 2024. Happy flying Mark
