Hi,as the title says I have a problem with the above. Specifically, the rotary that controls the IAS/MACH has given up on me after nearly 4 years of faultless service.Before I look at a replacement MCP I want to be sure that Aerosoft unit cannot be easily repaired. I use the MCP with an EICAS, a number of Go Flight Modules, CH Yoke and Throttle and the full Project Magenta Boeing Suite.I have checked that the non response from the rotary is not software related. I have also tried different versions of the firmware all without success. My efforts in contacting Andrew McClean have drawn a blank.Has anyone had the same or a similar problem and, if so, how was it resolved? As I am non technical I suppose I am looking for a possible repair facility here in the UK. That said, I would be grateful for any advice that is offered.Thanks,NormanEGCC.

The Rotary for the unit is soldered directly to the PCB. If your confident enough to pull the MCP apart, you can take the pcb to a local tv or electronic repair shop that will change the bad encoder for you for a small fee.Before doing that though you should try and find out what type of encoder was used (2-bit gray or quadrature). If it were me and seeing that one encoder has already given up I would change all the encoders at the same time. By doing so you know you will have a good working mcp for many more years to come.Gary

Hi Gary,thanks for that, it was just what I was looking for. At least I now have a starting point.Your point about the other rotaries is well made so I will consider that at the same time.Regards,Norman.

Hi NormanIf you discover the type of rotary used can you please post it here. I'm sure other Aerosoft MCP users will face this problem in the futureMany Thanks
