Good morning,
Since the purchase of OC MCP module everything works wonderfully except an issue I am having with the module going ¨stand-by¨ after a few minutes, MCP displays just switch off.
Exactly the same happens when using lights test switch on MIP, a few seconds after the test all MCP displays go off. If you rotate the encoder the display goes back on, but it works only for altitude and speed. Heading and course stays with value -99. Restarting SIOC and OC4NGX solves the issue.
Anybody had same issues? Checking with OC whether this could be caused by any kind of failure in power adaptor, but it seems they did not encounter this kind of issues.
In SIOC, when testing the module all lights work perfectly.
USB power management in Win10 is set not switch off USB.
Latest OC4BA installed.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards
Sergej
OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Which flightsim platform are you on. FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv3 or P3Dv4?
What is the PMDG B737NGX version number? Check in PMDG Operations Center

Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Many thanks for a quick reply Roar,
Had an issue of MCP module going off after some time in P3DV3.2, though lights test was not causing it to go off. Changed to P3DV4 since and get the same issue of MCP module going off and on top of that after light test is done on MIP, the MCP switches on for a few seconds and goes blank.
PMDG version is the latest available (downloaded a week ago) I will double check the exact version when at home.

Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
I will send you a link to the very latest OC4BAv4 beta that should work fine in P3Dv4 and latest PMDG B737NGX.
Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Sounds great! Would be happy to test it and come back with the results.
Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Just checked the version: PMDG 737NGX P3Dv4 - v1.17
Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
I read PMDG B737NGX version 1.20.8413 in my PMDG Operations Center
Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Roar,
I have recieved the beta version for testing, many thanks!
It will take me some time to change the scripts, as the only P&P that I have is MCP and EFIS, the rest (MIP and OVHD) is home built. Will start testing ASAP and will come back with the results.
P.S. Thats interesting, my PMDG OC says all is up to date with V1.17, will double check with them on the version.
Kind regards,
Sergej

Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Hello,
Just to let you know that new beta testing is in progress, due to specificity of my cockpit (limited P&P devices) have to change many I/O. The first impression is very good though, I do like a lot how the code is changed, helps a lot for cockpit builders that have home build modules. The most important, the light test switch works without affecting the MCP! Still many things to test, will come back to you later!
Great job and many thanks for you help and effort!
Kind regards,
Sergej

Re: OC MCP Displays go off after light test
Some new info on testing the beta version:
I have re-programmed almost the whole overhead to suit my home build module, everything seems to work fine, cant get a test flight because I have an issue with FMC.
My FMC is home build as well, based on OC keys cards. It was working perfectly in previous version. I have seen that the script in the new version has a static variable 1999 linked to keys card directly. In my understanding that is made for P&P modules?
I have changed the script in order to assign keys as it was done in previous version:
Var 0622, name CDU1, Link USB_KEYS, Device 13 // FMC/CDU1_CAPT
{
IF &cdu1 = 39 // menu
{
&k = 2156
}
etc....
Var 1999, name k, static
{
&k = 0
}
When pressing any key on CDU, OC4NGX crashes for some reason. Any hint for solution would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sergej
