Title: Hey - PFD/ECAMS TFT
Post by: BGStudios on November 12, 2017, 07:34:25 AM
Hey everyone! New to this forum so hi!

Need help with a couple of things please. I have started building my homecockpit for fsx based on the A320/321 from Aerosoft so I am prototyping switches and inputs/outputs etc

Now I am struggling with something, I want to get the PFD and ECAM and EIFS systems onto TFT's or screens and fit them into the cockpit. Ive seen loads of builds on youtube and online that have these running but cannot find any guides to set this up?

Please could anyone help?

Cheers M

Depending on the A320 software you are using you should be able to "undock" the Ecam , pfd and efis screens and drag them to another monitor attached to the computer. Some software actually runs on secondary computers like the "prosim A320 software.


By dragging these views to other monitors and saving your flight they will restart in this positions.

Hi Trev,

Thanks for your reply! Its funny when you ask online after searching for hours and hours you stumble across an answer!

This has worked for me at the moment! I have linked below to see if it helps others?

I have built a engine start and apu panel prototype (toggles/leds) that works just starting my Autopilot one now but trying learn about shift registers........
