Questions about Keyboard use and also MCP Combo

Featured Replies

First I must thank you guys for LINDA...don't have the MCP Combo but still am able to use it quite a bit with Saitek Yoke and Throttle Quadrant.My Questions:1. Is there any way to use keyboard entries with LINDA? I have 16-18 keys that are never needed and would like to put them to work. MY G-15 keyboard would easily program them.2. I usually fly Dukes (both version), PMDG JS-41, and other light twins (Carenado, MilVizFlt 1 Citation) and sometimes Embraer Regional jets. Would the MCP Combo be a good addition for those planes?3. Almost forgot...The MCP Combo is HUGE. Where do you set it up? I have the Yoke, two throttle quadrants on the right side and an M-Panel on top of the yoke and G-15 keyboard on the other side. Maybe some of you can post some screenshots. I don't have a clue about where it would fit (assuming I buy one).Thanks in advanceNeal H

Hello, 1) as I currently know: no!maybe there is a way but I don't know it and I don't think so ... 2) I would not fly without the Combo; doesn't matter which plane.Even with the easiest plane without Autopilot you have still the information on the MCP Display. You can control other things as well with the Combo like Aivlasofts EFB as example.But for any airplane with Autopilot or any airliner is so much more fun to fly....Highly recommended. 3) I have it right in front of my screen. The screen is set up about 10 cm, so the combo fits well in front below.

Keep the M-Panel you still need the gear and flaps levers and it displays things like trim and baro settings by default too, something the other panels don't do even though I asked for this 12 months ago. The M-Panel is the perfect partner for the MCP1 or MCP2.

Cheers, Andy.

thanks for your kind words, Neal.

Be ready for my dumb questions
dum questions are always welcome as I'm also full of dumb questions ;-) also thanks to Andy!

Hi Neal! (Wow — you don't hang about, do you? Enjoy your MCP when it arrives: you'll wonder how you ever managed without it). happy.png Reference your original question 3: the Combo is not as huge as it may appear in some pictures, which give you little idea of scale. Here's my setup — as you can see, the Combo is just a little longer than my G15 keyboard. captmcptiny.jpg Cheers, Brian
