September 6, 20187 yr I'm looking at grabbing one of these. But before i shell out 1/2 a grand i was wondering if anyone has experience with it. Is it compatible with P3D? I mostly fly the airbus and 787. i sometimes fly 737 and 747. Any feed back greatly welcome. Regards Mike Mike Intel 12700k No over clocking 32GB G-Skill 3600 Ram MSI RTX3080
September 6, 20187 yr Hi Mike, It most closely models a 737NG MCP. I've used one for years, including with P3D, and would not be without it. That said, if you are building a replica flight deck you might want to have a look at products designed for your specific aircraft. Best, Jim Harnes

September 6, 20187 yr I've had one for quite a few years. I fly the 787 and some functions work with it but not all..The auto throttle switch, speed dial, heading dial and altitude dial are all that work with it. The PMDG aircraft work well with all the functions including GF's efis, but you have to have Polypots Goflight Intterface Tool installed. I don't fly Airbus planes so I don't know the status on that. All in all, it's a well put module and it is reasonably priced if you compare it to other MCP modules on the market. And of course it works with all default ac. Gnacino
September 6, 20187 yr Did you take a look at the MCP EL from CpFlight ?

September 6, 20187 yr I had it for about four years, works great with default aircraft, for the PMDG 737 you need to have the polly pot software interface, when it comes to the QW787 the Buttons do not work like when sellecting LNAV VNAV APP HDG Hopefully QW will pass along the info to pollypot so they can make a QW787 Interface a great unit for the price and if you wait for the black friday sale they have you can buy it for about 350 USD

September 6, 20187 yr I have the MCP PRO, love it and couldn’t imagine not having it. As mentioned make sure to include a purchase of GFIT in your budget. Works seamlessly with PMDG Boeings and user created interface files for others can be found at the GFIT website (pollypot software). Using an interface file I’m having it work well with the QW 787 too.

September 6, 20187 yr I have looked into this and have drooled over the websites for these MCPs, but for PC desk users, where do you put it? My desk is full of monitors, a keyboard, mouse, joystick, throttles, etc. as it is. Mark Mark Trainer
September 7, 20187 yr Author Wow thxs for the replies 🙂 Few options there. I liked the MCP PRO because it looked compact and kinda universal if that makes any sense lol. I will keep looking and read up so more. Thxs guys Mike Intel 12700k No over clocking 32GB G-Skill 3600 Ram MSI RTX3080
September 7, 20187 yr Mine sits to the left on my monitor, my monitor has enough clearance under it for the mcp to partially tuck under too.

September 7, 20187 yr I use the GF MCP Pro for my SimPit, no issues. If you want to get the most out of GF modules, I highly recommend using Steve's GIT (GoFlight Interface Tool) found here: https://shop.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/ you can download various profiles for different aircraft here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/downloads.html ... I've done a couple of tutorials on how to program them. I believe there might be a profile available for the QW 787 in the GIT forums. GIT supports both XP11 and P3D V4.x Cheers, Rob.
