Wanttosavetime 1 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hi, in the Airbus-X-Extended StepByStep-Guide Vol.6 is written to look at the MCDU-Guide for further (deeper) informations. But i cannot find it in my documentation folder. The only MCDU-Guide i have, is for the normal Airbus-X MCDU and not for the new one. Is there any possibility to get the Guide for the new MCDU by download? Thanks and regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobCW 0 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I too cannot find the MCDU guide and I need it to find out how to do some of the more complex things such as holds, alternates, changing STARS in flight etc. It is for these features that I purchased this product. Is there one available at this stage and if so where can it be found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 22, 2012 Aerosoft Share Posted December 22, 2012 The mentioning in the step-by-step guide should not have been there. We will start working on a more extended document for the MCDU in January. It was not easy to do so as the MCDU changed up to the last day. Of course the vast majority of options are discussed in the step-by-step guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilo 2 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 @Mathijs, thank you for confirming that you are working on a detailed MCDU guide. Apart from this missing part, the manuals are really good and the best I have ever seen (nothing to compare with Wilco...) but I am struggling with some details concerning MCDU (e.g. changing flightplan during flight if something bad happens, landing at an airport that was not planned due to an emergency etc.). So, a MCDU manual would be highly appreciated:) Best regards, Tilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passpilotion 19 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The thing is, Thales Avionics' guide is written for a real unit which differs quite a lot from AXE unit. Aerosoft's MCDU guide would still be beneficial to most simmers because it is required to operate AXE's unit in a different manner. Besides, you can't expect an average simmer would read 700+ pages of highly technical and professional material just to recognize he can't do half the stuff he just read.

KyleD 1027 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi, Is there any news on the detailed MCDU guide? Thanks Phil Hi Phil, Yes and no. Progress is pretty good, there's a solid amount of pages and pictures done, in German and English. But, recently that has been overshadowed with testing. We all are pretty much dedicating what sim time we have to testing the new update that will be released. Hopefully once that is done the guide can be finished up, fully translated (German to English), and released. Just know that the guide I'm referring to is being done by the testers, and I'm not sure if it will be considered 'official' or not. Either way, it goes a bit more in depth into the MCDU, with emphasis only on what we can use and what is simulated in the Extended. We are trying not to clog it with extraneous information on features that are not implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleD 1027 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 only available in English and German? or will also be available in other languages As of right now yes, but there's definitely nothing stopping anyone else to translate it into another language. Once it is posted it would be great if we could have some users help translate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dushyant 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Left MCDU Airbus X Extended I am having trouble by inserting more air routes and waypoints (max is 4 each).

Dushyant 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 For example its possible to enter an airway in LSKL1 and a waypoint ind RLSK1. if there are may be 8 airways and 8 waypoints; the question is that is there a possible to insert more lines to enter the data. I am stuck by 4 lines only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am stuck by 4 lines only Like Adrijan said, what you should do is fill the string, then do a Temporary Insert and insert what you have. Then, scroll down to the last waypoint of that previous string, and click the LSK next to it, then the Airways RSK, and then you'll start a whole new string. You can do this as much as you have to to get your entire route uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
