PMDG + GoFlight MCP Pro with Win7

Featured Replies

Hi Guys,I've recently migrated to Win7, to take advantage of additional RAM and more efficient use of the I7 CPU. All in all, I'm happy with the simming experience to date. Now my problem....I have an MCP Pro from GoFlight. This device has been excellent and I'm very happy with it. I also purchased the connectivity utility from PMDG to support their 737 and 747 aircraft. While the utility works fine on WinXP, it doesn't work with Win7 and it appears that PMDG no longer support the utility as a result of loosing the developer involved in it's support.Under Win7, I use both FS9 and FSX. The MCP Pro equipment works well with many of my aircraft in both environments but let's face it, the PMDG aircraft utilise all the functionality of the MCP Pro, so I need to get it working for them under Win7.At this point I only have PMDG aircraft for FS9. Is there any hope for me?Regards, Paul (VH-FIB)

Hi Paul - you'll have to pony up the $$ for the FSX version from Flight Sim Labs: http://www.flightsimlabs.com/interfaces/goflight-mcppro-fsx/It's worth it, and if you have the EFIS controls, it supports full functionality of those as well, even if you have both left and right - you can set each one independently of the other.

I have the FSX version as above and it works fine with Win7 BUT it only works with the 74X version. If you want to use it then you will need to but FSX, 74X version. Also it is will not work with the "to be release" 737NX and they have not committed to doing a driver for it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I suspected as much. I must say I'm enjoying the framerates under FS9 and will probably wait and see how the GoFlight device is supported moving forward before making a decision. Maybe someone else will come along with a fully supported aircraft that offers the functionality of the PMDG aircraft.Thanks again for your responses.Regards, Paul

surely one could be created using the SDK that is to be released with the 737NGX
