Hi, there's another thread that was started as a question "Can we use Winwing MCDU with DCS". But now that we know that it works, and not only for the A320 Mcdu, start this post to List possible solutions @Kurisu rust Implementation [ Tested with PFP3N , ?] https://github.com/Kurisu003/UWACS and my implementation (c#) [ Tested with PFP7 , MCDU , PFP3N ] https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases Have a nice flight in your prefered DCS Aircraft

I just pushed a 1.3 beta https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases/tag/1.3-beta Now handles 2 cdu for ch47 PLT and CPLT, So if you own 2 wwing devices, you can plug them both and choose on each if it's supposed to display PLT ou CPLT cdu. Not sure how to handle this correctly with actual DCS binding way ... I suggest binding the PLT and use CPLT display , but change CPLT with Aircraft click. My other idea was to double bind "Active" on both the MCDU / PFP7 and switch position with 1 & 2 ( not tested ) . Previous version linked the Screen Brightness to the Knob ( it's not working this way in the aircraft, but as it seems bug , there's no other way to adjust screen brightness ). It's now unlinked by defaut. If you want to link it back use -ch47lbg options launching the program. This also fxes A10C missing option parsing in 1.2 ...

Working on this This needs to always use them at the same "place" ( because of DCS bindings one as PLT and the other as CPLT keys . ) , but seems to work. Need more testing before release. DCS bindings are strange as you can only bind the Active CDU ( mean the one corresponding to the place you're sited at )

Fixed . https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases Cdu knobs on center panel controls the Backlight of the screen / leds / keys . ** Looks like in the Aircraft , Backlight is not controlled by the Rocker BRT DIM either ? so i decided to link it to the knob ** . Should it be corrected one day , i'll separate them .

That's something i didn't pay attention to, but will look at it . Thanks for the report. by the way , feel free to use "issues" to report what you think is wrong , or improvments https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/issues

Hello, here's the new build https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases/tag/1.2-beta Note the breaking change in the config.json file. ( naming convention fix)

I'll push a new version next week.

Nope , not coded. you mean this ? I'll take a look if i can add it easily

Should be Available soon. Edit : https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases/tag/1.1-beta Any feedback / bug report welcome ( please use Issue on github ) I plan to allow Switching ( or choosing at startup ) between Pilot and Copilot , and to have BOTH ! if you own 2 ww cdus ( a PFP7 and a MCDU for example )

Very quick test for the CH-47. No colors / No special font

I like what i'm seeing !!

As this device is not really in the DCS Mood , i suspect "panel" owners already own Winwing combat dedicated devices, which is x100 more immersive i think. But if you own the FCU / EFIS , would you be interested in displaying things on it. EFIS QNH could be useful ( easier to set than often unprecise "clocks" in aircrafts ) FCU VS , Speed , HDG ? ( often on the plane HUD ) I could try to map DcsBios info to this device.

By the way, i can see that you are using the Pfp3n and it confirms that it works on this device too ! ( I was not able to test on this one ) . I'm not sure the "UFC radio report" is that useful on the AH64D, as you have this directly in front of you as a pilot . but leaving the keyboard display alone was "strange" . If you have any / suggestion let me know with direct message. Based on your experience, i added some error handling on config , and log files and this should be the 1.0 ! https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases/tag/1.0

There's some informations in the Readme file https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge i suspect misconfig in the config.json to point to the dcsbios files. Let me know if it helps.

I'm very happy to read this ! Leaving the button mapping to user was a design choice. It's not that long to do and let everyone do it the way they want, feel used to or natural. For the ch47 CDU, i agree ! i counted the lines LSK and RSK , match , i asked the dcsbios team if i could help on making it available but looks like it's not that easy. I'm monitoring it regularly and as soon it's available i'll add it to the project. Again, glad to read that my project helped you. And the physical CDU in the A10C is a real game changer / fun to have.
