Pretty much what the title says…Winwing MCDU just constantly says Mobiflight. The buttons still work, if I look at the MCDU in the virtual cockpit and press buttons on my WW MCDU it works, just the screen doesn’t show properly. It has worked previously, so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong now

which vendor and aircraft is this for?

Ah sorry, pretty essential info I forgot to mention 😅 This is in the Fenix A320

Mobiflight should detect the aircraft and start the Fenix specific python script to extract the MCDU data. Activate the logging to verify if Mobiflight is starting the script "fenix_winwing_cdu.py".

#

You could start the script manually as a workaround, until we can figure out why it is not running automatically.

I updated simapppro last week in my setup and lost the display right away with the buttons still working, all I did was roll back the Simapp and reflashed the mcdu and all was back to working normally. Whilst Simapprp was starting I did see very large font being displayed for a short time.

So a firmware update from Winctrl? Maybe @analog ivy needs to take action here.

#

Hmmm I found an update for the FCU but none for the MCDU. I am currently at v1.04

Does the screen on the MCDU say

STARTING: 
FENIX_WINWING_CDU.PY

when you press Run in Mobiflight???

I will try again tonight when I am home, but from memory I don’t think it does say that, I think it just says Mobiflight straight away. Will confirm later though, thanks

No, it does not say that on the screen when I press run and it also does no appear in the log.
Also most of my buttons no longer seem to function since yesterday. Mobiflight registers in the log that things are being pressed, but it doesn’t seem to be sending the action to the sim. Was all working fine yesterday, has something changed with the update?

#

Okay I just tried again and this time it did run the script in the log and the screen is working. But like I say, now most of my buttons/switches aren’t working so 1 step forward, 2 steps back 😭😭

Firmware update done on your device?

#

At some point Winctrl renamed all their devices also in their usb name from winwing to winctrl. Might brake the controller binding in your profile. Try to reassign.

Sorry, just to clarify, I meant buttons and switches unrelated to my MCDU, just like all of my overhead buttons and switches

Ah, just seen another thread mentioning a similar issue regarding multiplexers, that would explain it
