(Solved)Has anyone been able to connect Aerosoft MCP or Engravity CDU with PSX ?

[Egyptair687]

Hello guys,

I need help with connection of my Engravity CDU.

I know, that I have to use adaptpsx.

AdaptPSX connects to PSX but not to the CDU (no serial connection).
Has anybody been able to connect his Aerosoft MCP or Engravity CDU ?

Which java version and which windows version do you use ?

Driver is installed and CDU is working with prosim, so no hardware issue so far.

thank you and kind regards
Ahmed

John, the programmer of adaptpsx, helped me out : )

It was simply a not ticked option (enable serial output).
I cannot believe, I didn't see that while trying to get it working for 7 hours yesterday.

Kind regards
Ahmed

John,
How do you configure which EFIS you have in Adaptpsx with the Aerosoft MCP?
I have an EFIS unit from opencockpits that I use for the Capt side (left).
Normally the Aerosoft unit has the EFIS and Eicas joined and then connected to an expansion port.
I want to use the Aerosoft EFIS for the FO side, but I think the original second EFIS unit was a different piece of equipment configured to be standalone. (IE No Eicas connector). I was hoping you could "tell" adaptpsx which one was connected via the MCP...
If not, then no problems, I will rebuild the OC unit into the FO side of my glareshield.

Cheers,

G'day;

Apologies for the delayed response - life has kept me very busy away from the fun of the forums!

It's been a long time since I've looked at Adapt, and the Aerosoft Unit (mine stopped working a decade ago ).

I recall there was a need to use the Aerosoft config program to do something - but I'm not 100%.

I'll try to find time to look into it in the next few weeks - dig out the old info.

Cheers

John
