I have a CPFlight MCP together with a CPFlight EFIS that I use flawlessly in FS9 (but as I understand it works in FSX too) to run PMDG 737, PMDG747 and LevelD 767. The MCP unit also works with basically any other aircraft that uses the standard MSFS autopilot. I love the quality and feel of the units and IMHO the MCP is way superior to the Goflight offering, although it also comes at a higher price tag. I haven't tested the Goflight unit, but I have other Goflight modules and base my opinion on that and the pictures I've seen of the Goflight MCP.The Goflight MCP uses a driver released by Lefteris that has to be purchased so the unit is officially supported by PMDG. While the CPflight unit isn't supported by PMDG I've never had any problems with getting it to work. CPFlight's webpage is www.cpflight.com and I have the MCP737 - not the newer MCP737PRO.
