Boeing-Type MCP
The Boeing MCP can be run on your system connected to specific MCP hardware and can then reside
minimized as a background process, or it can run as a point and click devise using the software graphic. If
you are intending to run the MCP connected to hardware, you need to set the hardware connection via the
mcp.ini file in the main MCP program folder. Please look at the mcp.ini file to see if your hardware is
supported or contact Project Magenta for further information about specific connections.
The Boeing MCP currently covers the following aircraft types:
• Boeing 737-600/700/800
• Boeing 777-xxx
• Boeing 747-400
By pressing the ESC key whilst the MCP is the active program, a user Menu of basic options will appear.
This includes MCP type and some basic specific mode options. There are other options in the MCP.ini file
which is self documenting.
To alter the size of the MCP graphic simply drag at the sides or corners with the mouse. There is an option
in the user interface to reset the size or press CTRL R.
Generally, the Glass Cockpit is designed to run as a whole system with every element of the PM software
running. For accurate Autoland the AP needs to know the specific Flare altitude. Normally, this is defined
by the CDU program if it is running. If it is not going to be used, then you must define your Flare Altitude in
the mcp.ini file. Note that if you run the CDU at a later date what is set in the CDU will become valid data.
(See CDU section for setting the Flare Altitude).
To set the Flare Altitude in the MCP.ini (if you are not using the CDU software) edit height above ground
you wish the AP to commence the flare on an AutoLand (any value, 20, 30, 35, 40 ,52 etc):
Flare=40
There are many self documenting other settings in the MCP.ini file which can be set by the user if required.

Airbus-Type Glass Cockpit
The Glass Cockpit set-up with regard to positioning and sizing has already been discussed in the GENERAL
section of this document; this is the same system as for Boeing and Airbus software. Here, we will discuss a
little bit about how the Glass Cockpit functions and what further options are selectable by you and what
you must set in order for the Glass Cockpit to function properly.
Step 1, Aircraft Type
The Glass Cockpit will detect from MSFS the number of engines your specific flight Model has. This will
automatically change the engine display on the upper ECAM to the number of engines the flight model has.
But the Glass Cockpit still needs more information from you which will be discussed shortly.
The number of engines is shown on the ECAM display.
Apart from detecting the number of Engines your aircraft has the Airbus Glass Cockpit also needs to know a
great deal of other parameters. These are generated through text files developed by Project Magenta and
feed the GC with further data. These files are associated by aircraft type. Because the Glass Cockpit is
sometimes run without the MCDU, there are two ways of setting the specific aircraft type so that the Glass
Cockpit knows the various performance characteristics and FMA modes to display.

Step 2, Aircraft Type Selection
Method A – NO MCDU SOFTWARE
You will need to open the Glass Cockpit ini file (abpfd.ini) located in the main program folder (ABGC). Open
this file with Notepad.
Find the following entry:
AircraftType=
As you are not running the MCDU software (in this example) you must specify the aircraft type you want to
fly here. In the Glass Cockpit folder are a number of aircraft type files. For example A320.txt. The files are
all in a plain text format and thus have the aircraft type followed by the file extension .txt. You can also
download more of these files from the Updates section of the PM website.
If you wanted to fly the A320 in the above example you would enter the name of that txt file.
AircraftType=A320.txt
The Glass Cockpit is now set to read the information in the aircraft specific text file.
Method B – WITH MCDU SOFTWARE
If you have the MCDU software as part of your Project Magenta system (highly advisable) then the above
entry must be set as follows in the ABGC ini file:
AircraftType=CDU
This forces the Glass Cockpit not to read aircraft txt files in its own local directory but from the MCDU
programs “types” subfolder. This has one main advantage, from the MCDU program you can select your
aircraft type automatically and very quickly without having to manually edit each Glass Cockpit ini file on
