Just a simple question, how do I get to see the EFIS, the horizon, brown/blue... etc
I can see numbers and digits, but no "glass-cockpit" No FMS rose, or the "ususal" You see at the EFIS screen...
Pleas help the, this brid is a masterpiece!!! I just wonder what I am missing, read the manual, but couldnt figure it out...
So please...
Merry X-mas to You all!
Best Regards
Per

Turn on the EFIS switch. Wait about three to four minutes for it to finish self-test and calibration.

Hi,
What do you mean by EFIS?
Please tell us the steps you are doing. Are you starting in Parked/C&D... which condition?
Are you turning BAT BUS switch on? After that, the other Bat switch that is close to both GEN switches in the three-switch bar (all in pilots side)?

He means the ESIS Tomas. ;)

Perstahle, the ESIS switch is in the lower left corner of the pilot's knee panel, just under the BAT BUSS switch.

And the little ESIS is saying "ATT FAIL" and starts to flicker after a while, and as you can see, the other "big" screens are not "loaded" or not "ready", what ever, I dont understand this, I have done all I can, by the book... (I think), but I am sure that is that little "easy bit" that for som reaseon is missing, or doing wrong???
I am flying off to Svalbard for X-mas today, and without instruments... a bit tricky
Best regards

What Prepar3d version are you using? Is this the latest release 4.5.13.32097?
There is nothing in the model that would allow to turn off only graphic symbols on the screens, so something is wrong with this particular setup.
