I am new at the forums here so please bare with me, I own (and love) the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies as well as (among other things) an MCP (hardware) from Opencockpits.com. Whenever I use my mcp with the 747 I can turn knobs on the mcp and the airplane in fsx will respond accordingly; however, the mcp displays all zeros for all the screens regardless of what I am setting (in other words, the mcp headings and altitudes, etc in fsx change when I move the knobs, but there is no feedback from fsx to my mcp, so therefore it shows all zeros no matter what). After also buying the Level-D 767, and that having software that was made specifically for opencockpits.com hardware (lekseecon), the mcp worked perfectly, with the screens displaying exactly what is displayed in the fsx 767 mcp. So (if you understand any of this) I was wondering if the 737 NGX will have the same problem with the mcp as the 747 did, or if there is software that will come with it similar to lekseecon, which will run the opencockpits mcp well.Thanks

The NGX will have a hardware SDK that will allow hardware makers to make their stuff work with it. It'll be up to them though, we aren't going to make hardware we don't even own work.

Yeah that makes sense, and is pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick response and looking forward to the NGX!Regards

I cant speak for them, but I would more than imagine that they will ensure it all works, especially as there is now an SDK for it, in essence it should be very easy to make it work just like the LevelD 767 does.It will be what makes this PMDG product amazing, moving away from the SIMTOY effect that other products give you when you have to click with a mouse...Its a great move by PMDG to do this, and with an announcement that a new 747 is on the horizon then I think it wont be long before you will have this functionality with the 747.My biggest concern is that if/when they make a Airbus, Im going to have to go buy some more hardware LOLRegards

haha yea! I too hope that this is a trend that PMDG will continue to follow with the 777 and (rumoured) 747v2. PMDG don't do steps backward do they? :(

All our stuff going forward will be based on the technology we've developed with the NGX - you can expect the same stuff (and likely more as we add on to the framework) with future products...

This plus the winglet update from level d has made this a very good day to be a simmer! Thankyou very much Ryan!

haha yea i think Im just going to suck it up and keep everything configured for my 737 lol. I mean PMDG makes lots of Boeing stuff so I figured when the 777 comes out and if the anything else Boeing does, it'll be all set for an aircraft change. It seems the entire fs addon community is going to need to step it up (again) in order to stay in business with the new PMDG planes coming out
