Hi Ron, Just perusing through the forum and saw your post from a while ago….not sure if you got your answers or not, but here’s what I have done in my setup: - add a graphics card, which would add the ability to have more than one additional monitor (however many monitors the card supports, really. ...

Awesome, thanks again so much!

One more question…I know I should have found the answer in the forum already, but how do I use a hardware switch to actually start a panel in air manager (if I don’t want the panel to start automatically and don’t want to manually do it via Air Manager’s UI? Is there a way? Thanks again so much. Marco

Yes for sure! I’m doing that, but was trying to also control power to the screens at the same time, as in the real aircraft. There, the actual displays only turn on when you switch avionics on. For EICAS, that display is turned on directly once the batteries are switched on. I was trying to replicat...

I was kind of figuring that would be the issue, after some testing here. Kind of a bummer since I was trying to replicate the avionics startup sequence on the actual plane, but I can probably figure out a different way to get a similar result.
Thanks again for the insight!

Hi SimPassion and Ralph! Thanks for the replies! SimPassion - yes, panels are configured and were set to automatically start. I also tried starting manually, which I figure will be the way to go for my setup (actually calling them from a hardware panel which I was also use to turn the screens on fro...

Hello everyone, In my ERJ setup I have 5 panels: CA-side PFD and MFD, FO-side PFD and MFD, and EICAS. Each panel is displayed in a dedicated LCD screen (so 5 LCDs). All LCDs are driven off two graphics cards in a single dedicated computer. My issue is that the displays seem to get out of order depen...

Hi again Jacques,

Wanted to circle back and thank you again for your guidance with my issue. It took a few trials and adjustments (and some optimization(I use the term loosely here)) on my code, but I finally got it working! It’s perfect now!
Thanks again for the help!

Hello everyone, I've been developing the MFD for my ERJ cockpit, and I've come pretty far for being a newbie at programming. And now I hit a wall I am hoping someone can help me with. The MFD has several pages - T/O, ECS/ Pressurization, Fuel, Hydraulic, Electric. Each page is displayed when the sys...
