Trying to install OC MCP....I might need some help...

[Capt. Windh 3]

So I finally got the MCP from Opencockpits (v3, no box, Honeywell with backlight). I thought that this 'Plug and Play' product would be that, more or less.

3 hrs in, still scratching my head.


This is for use with PMDG NGX in FSX.


I understand that I need the connecting interface, SIOC, by the manufacturer, but there's another plugin required in order for it to communicate with PMDG.


And this far I've only found this thing called OC4BA. The software is roughly 50€!!! I'm not in the financial mood to spend that at the moment.. There's a freeware version, but it is said not to work with the latest version of NGX.


If anyone here use these products together, please let me know how to set it up in the easiest way.

 

 

I've found a few tutorials like this one: 
https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?259000-Opencockpits-and-PMDG

 

Which ALMOST takes me all the way, but there's always ONE link to a program I need to download which is dead, stopping me..

 

At the moment I have come as far as changing the SIOC.ini, that's about it. :(

 

Any help here is greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and purchase the software.
