Changes to the CDU software Important: ========== This is not the full version of the software. Please copy it into an *existing* program folder or run the Setup program first. The Program Setups can be found on www.projectmagenta.com/setup.html CDU 396 - maintenance update - DLL changes CDU 395 - exec light on handling of waypoints (fly previous route) - discontinuity maintains present heading CDU 394 - interface tests CDU 393 - major re-write of route generation - new dll - corrected zfw issue CDU 391 - changes to LEGS page deletions - changes to TAKEOFF/N1 LIMIT pages - re-wrote several parts of SID/STAR handling - added info of current navdata version (see INIT/REF, IDENT page, NAV DATA version should be -10 or greater) - current test navdata should be used www.projectmagenta.com/latest.html - returning to first waypoint before EXEC (ARR Selection) has been corrected - stop statement removed (approach selection) CDU 389 - some minor changes for route generation - update for engravity legs page SPD/ALT display CDU 387 - corrected problem with SID/STAR entry handling on LEGS page - ACTIVATE sequence revisited - added POS REF page CDU 386 - new dll - release version CDU 385 - changes to flight plan handling (pre-activation, pre-perf) - problems with LEGS page entry corrected - new cdu navdata (conversion 29.12.2006) airway entry problem addressed - new DLL - RCDU Extension: Setting bit 6 of the high byte, using the same rules as above, you can send keyboard commands to the RCDU. E.g. Sending “A” to the CDU is value 65, to the RCDU it is (256 * 2^6) + 65 = 256 * 64 + 65 = 16449 (this command will then of course be ignored by the CDU) Updated 14-12-2006 CDU 384 - FSX XML flightplan support added - Engravity LEGS and PROG page recoded (firmware 1.03 or later) CDU 383 - battery handling for Engravity CDU added CDU 382 - (a) small correction for Engravity CDU - corrected resizing problem upon exit - new setup files - new dll CDU 381 - removed counter text in rotated display CDU 380 - corrected METAR display - release version CDU 379 - (c build) added user defined waypoint names, these are implemented for SIDs only for the time being Format: [ICAO] proc1 rwy1 ... description proc2 rwy2 ... description proc3 rwy2 ... description proc3 rwy2 1>... MYWP1 @210/ MYWP2 @220/6000 MYWP3 MYWP1 : N4534 E03356 // MYWP2 : VOR090/13 // for vorrad/dis MYWP3 : VOR090/ABC330 //for vorrad/vor/rad MYWP4 : N45 34 00 : E033 56 00 [ICA2] The new waypoints onluy have effect for the selected airport between [ICAO] and [ICA2], thus only affect the airport [ICAO] You can use empty lines for readability, but not for the procedures themselves, they have to follow directly the proc entry. -

DIRECT TO puts it in the scratch pad ans switches to the RTE page Hold ---- Pressing Hold with no Hold active goes to the LEGS page HOLD AT appears, enter waypoint in the scratch pad and press LSK 6L, MOD RTE HOLD appears. Enter the necessary data and select EXIT ARMED. If the waypoint is in the route, then it will be automatically added after the waypoint. If it isn't in the flight plan, HOLD AT (wpt name) will appear in the scratchpad and you can insert it in the flight plan. It should appear in the ND. To remove the Hold, press HOLD and select remove hold or copy another waypoint onto it. Once in the hold, press HOLD and then LSK 6R to EXIT HOLD. Currently the hold has only been tested without winds, it will be amended very soon. VNAV ---- Requires MCP 162 or later. This is just the first step, there is more work ahead but I had to get the CDU out of the window. To enter an altitude/speed restriction... Enter 290/250 for IAS 290 FL250 or 260/8000 for IAS 260 8000 ft To enter a speed only, use 290/ To enter an altitude, no "/" is required To remove a restriction, just enter / (until I find the real way to do it) In the MCP, the Altitiude and Speed indicator blank when VNAV is pressed, more operational changes will be made for all of this, obviously. FAF --- The automatic FAF thing is no more. To enter it, put FAF in the scratchpad and press the LSK next to the Airport/Runway in the LEGS page. The waypoint can be added and removed like all the others.
