OC 747 CDU button swap function
Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2020 5:29 pm
Hi all,
I currently have a Opencockpits 747 CDU/FMC and works well on the PMDG 747,
However If I want to use it in the 737 some of the buttons are in the wrong places etc, as the 737/747 FMC have different layouts.
Is there a way I can create a custom script to change the current buttons to custom ones so I can swap the functions over, If there is can anyone give me an insight please.
I'm fairly new to all this but have worked out the CDU is an input on channel 1999???
The buttons are mapped to the outputs if I load up the default 737 script, the titles however correspond to the 747 FMC
So for example, if I wanted to swap over button HOLD currently assigned to function 69 for the function of button FMC COM and its function 68, how would I go about this? Is it even possible?
Really appreciate any help
