Thanks Steve!

I will find Lorby's Axis and Ohs now.

I bought FSUIPC7 FOR MSFS a long time ago and haven't used it yet. Could this be an alternative?

I ordered this as it does what I want it to do, and would also avoid using spad, axes, fsuipc, etc.  

Hopefully we will see it in the next three weeks or so.

  Has anyone tried the AXAIR MIAP with a complex airliner yet?
The holy grail will be if this works with the Fenix A320. (The only MCP that works right now is the rather fugly VRInsight MCP Combo II Bridge Airbus Edition + Axis and OHS + Guenseli's scripts profile).

If a Fenix A320 and AXAIR owner could let us know, please.

I don't own the Fenix 320, but I can confirm it works with the Citation Longitude and the CJ4 and I am running the AAU1 beta in MSFS 2020.  Be aware this addon is programmed strictly using the key commands from MSFS 2020, so it does not use  Spad.next, AAO or FSUIPC.

It can also be programmed using AAO as I do or FSUIPC.  It is a fine little device that I have owned and used for well over one year.

I was not aware of this.  Can you help me do this ?  I use AAO with Stream Deck.

Hi Flying Hare,

MSFS wont see the xtouch natively, you will need a program such as Lorby's Axis and Ohs to allow you to program it. This is how I have set mine up as an autopilot mode control panel and it works great.

cheers

Steve

Fine!  I'll try to understand AAO programming. How did you manage to set the altitude, speed, vertical speed and heading spinners so that they change the value in both directions?

The AXAIR MIAP came and I got it installed today.  I mostly wanted to use altitude so I programmed it as directed.

I pressed ALT to assign it to altitude bug, then assign the increase/decrease altitude reference knobs by rotating the knob for each setting respectively.

when I went to use it on the CRJ, the altitude doesn’t change. When I try it on the pmdg 737 the altitude works perfectly and at a very good speed too I would add, so I know that the device works, and that I have the correct controls mapped..

have you gotten the CRJ to work? I did get the heading bug to work. I can’t make the v/s work on the CRJ either.

MSFS does see the Axair although it does not picture it.   Just find what you want to control and then move the Axair control you want to use.  Take a look at some of the Aerosoft threads on assignments as they use a different setup than others.  The Axair will do it.

I took your advice and went to the Aerosoft forum and found a topic where someone tried something similar trying to control Altitude through their Hotas knob and it doesn’t work. Kok himself stated that it doesn’t work, so at least I know that it doesn’t work now.  It works just fine for the PMDG 737 so we will fly that a bit more often now.

That means the CRJ does NOT use the MSFS commands for "Set ALT".  I don't know (if or how) AXAIR controls can be set to whatever the CRJ commands for SEL ALT are... (I don't fly the CRJ)

I found at the Aerosoft forum where Kok states that they don’t map to the Select Altitude command, so it will not work. The PMDG 737 however works perfectly, and it rotates the altitude quite quickly.  I will be taking the 737 up today so we will see how it all goes.

Opencockpits MCP is very good choice 

Use with Oi4FS it will let you control both the CRJ and the PMDG 737 airplanes plus most other airplanes in.MSFS.

If I'm not mistaken you will also need an additional Oi4FS driver package to get your MCP working with PMDG.
Total price then amounts to 78EUR on top of the Opencockpits hardware!
As an Opencockpits customer I'm glad we now have an option at least to use the hardware in MSFS but I find it unacceptable from Opencockpits that they are merely selling the hardware these days and leaving customers hanging dry when it comes to compatibility...

In the old days you could use their MCP and EFIS straight out of the box with Project Magenta, PMDG 737 (FS2004), iFly 737 and Prosim for example. Good luck these days if you even want to get a reply from their staff on your support query.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend their products anymore these days.

Cheers,
S.

I highly recommend buying and using Axis and Ohs to bind controls.  Using scripts found on flight/to sure makes life better.  Not only CRJ scripts but all popular aircraft.   Sure makes it easier with my Xtouch mini, Bravo throttle and Alpha yoke along with the Axair.  I hate using the mouse.  Axis and Ohs is very well priced

Edited January 8, 20233 yr by diajohn

So is the concensus that the MIAP can be programmed using Axis and Ohs just like any other controller/arduino device ?

I'm tossing up between this and a Streamdeck Plus, which is 3x the size and twice the price.

Thnx for advices.
