March 30, 20233 yr Just was given a gf MCP-PRO and EFIS hardware MCP-PRO sort of working using the fsxdev.exe and goflight driver Everything is recognized EFIS no Is there anyway to program the hardware using other softwre or any other solution I wish somebody could have picked up he goflightflight tool Any suggestions
March 30, 20233 yr Go to the Pollypot website.They have the interface tool for the efis and mcp pro.It works a treat .Hope it works out.
March 31, 20233 yr Author Pollypot So get there interface tool Install it Dont I have to program it or something
March 31, 20233 yr I'm not sure if your last comment was a question - for Pollypot GIT using at MSFS PMDG B737 (all) there is no need to program anything, GF EFIS and MCPPro software was coded within the program, for several other GF units and on other aircrafts you have to assign the buttons, switches and encoders to simconnect events and variables, best you read the FAQ at Pollypot how to do it, e.g. the MCPPro is useable at the TBM930 with one click... Best regards Ralf Andreas
March 31, 20233 yr Author Just install the software right then I guess I select a congif for a speciic aircraft?? I will do reading
March 31, 20233 yr My Goflight EFIS works OK with the Polypot interface at my PDMG B737, I wish to make it work also at the default B747, and cannot found the way

For all other models you have to assign the controls, sometimes more, sometimes less. There are no fixed configs as far I know. At the moment I'm trying to mange the Salty B747 but there are hidden variables and events which are not accesseable in the detective, got only the MCPPro indication and rotaries to work as well as the EFIS but not the AP functions like VNAV, LNAV and so on, but trying further. Best regards Ralf Andreas

April 1, 20233 yr ...via detective - look for the Lvar's / Event's, then issue a bespoke event and after that assign the bespoke event (bold letters) to the corresponding GF EFIS button or Selector, the EFIS Range Selector I have assigned to a GF-RP 48 Selector. See some examples for the bespoke events below, you should know how to work with the Detective: B748 Salty_EFIS Range increase B747_8_MFD_Range + = 1 //increase range B748 Salty_EFIS Range decrease B747_8_MFD_Range - = 1 //decrease range B748 Salty_LH EFIS VOR SW to VOR XMLVAR_NAV_AID_SWITCH_L1_State = 1 //set switch from any position to off XMLVAR_NAV_AID_SWITCH_L1_State = 0 //set switch from off to VOR B748 Salty_Mode SEL to MAP B747_8_MFD_NAV_MODE = 2 //for APP = 0, VOR = 1, PLN = 3 B747_MAP_MODE = 2 //for APP = 0, VOR = 1, PLN = 3 FMC_UPDATE_CURRENT_PAGE = 1 FMC_UPDATE_CURRENT_PAGE = 0 B748 Salty_FPV Button toggle: If SALTY_FPV_ON = 0 Next Else NextSkip //toggles with every click FPV ON/OFF Goto fpv Goto non fpv :fpv SALTY_FPV_ON = 1 Goto exit :non fpv SALTY_FPV_ON = 0 :exit Ralf Andreas

So, to rewrite your function using switch/case it would look like: switch SALTY_FPV_ON case 0 SALTY_FPV_ON = 1 case 1 SALTY_FPV_ON = 0 endswitch You can add multiple lines of code after each case test, as many as you need for that condition, and you dont have to use goto and labels which makes it much easier to read. The switch statement examines the contents of the LVAR. Each case statement checks for a match of the LVAR against the value for each case, and only executes the commands under that case UNTIL the next case check command or endswitch is found.

April 2, 20233 yr Hello David, inserted your code and is it working perfectly, thank you. I thought there every case has to be defined individually but this seems to be comfortable. Now I'm looking for a description regarding Lvars <Lvar Name="switch_xyz_73X" />, there are hundred of it but no asignments to the numbers... Best regards and again thank you for the hint. Ralf Andreas
April 4, 20233 yr Author Looks like Basic Okay need to get my mcp-pro and efis to work I guess GIT what you use. You create some config files or exex files and it runs in background
