Cerppo,

 

I am getting this error. I did not see any install instructions, so I am just wondering what i screwed up. 

Thank you for all your hard work.

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.

That did it, Thank you!

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 ! 🙂

I haven't jumped into the CH-47 yet, but it's working great in the apache. I'm currently fiddling around with the extra command lines to see if I can get the fuel state visible from the EUFD. If that's available?

 

Great work BTW I'm absolutely loving it.

I am not sure if it is something that I am doing, but I noctied the backlighting of the PFP7 is dim or off while flying the CH47 but nice and bright when flying the AH64.

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

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 .

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 ) 

 Use 2 Winwing CDU as PLT and CPLT

ordered the MCDU from WinWing 

 

Get ready to be bothered with stupid questions on how to set it up with the CH47 and later the C130 😄
