Mfd's acting weird

[pianopunk1]

Hi everybody,
if I get in my cockpit I have to start up my mfd’s. If I started them up and change modes to AA they will turn off and I have to put them on again. If I then go to AG-mode I again have to turn them on again! Is this normal or am I doin’ something wrong?

Are they actually off, or do they say ‘blank’? Are you setting up the DTC from the menu for each submode so that you are setting up ‘profiles’ for the MFDs?

they are blank. I set it up when I am on the runway. Can I do that in the menu?
And dare I ask; DTC?

probably Data cartrige, press the USB-Stick to the right before entering the 3D World and set up the MFDs as desired

I strongly suggest that, if you haven’t already, read all the documents. Don’t sit and read them all in one go, you’ll go mad and remember only a fraction. Tackle the sim in chunks. The -1 and -1-1 are great for avionics etc, but you may find the BMS-Training.pdf easier to follow as they tie in and are designed alongside the training missions.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Seems I have been taking it to lightly. But I really love the sim so you will be seeing me here more often now!

That’s the spirit mate, and I need more of it myself! Keep at it; it’s a neverending learning curve but it’s always rewarding.

Ok, found the data cartridge. Used it only for comms. Mfd’s up&running, I’m a happy camper.
