OpenCockpits MCP V2

[Lenovouser 11]

Hi,

I currently have an offer for an MCP from OpenCockpits.

This is about the V2 (I think the current V3 is)

I got an offer for 300 euros and am considering whether I should buy it.

The V3 is available from OpenCockpits for 491 euros.

I wonder if I should still buy V2?

I looked in google but didn't find any posts to compare V2 and V3.

That's why I wanted to ask you what you think of it? and if anyone has MCP from OpenCockpits ?

I would like to take it for 737 , 777 and 747 in P3D and for 737 in MSFS.

Will the V2 software still work for the simulators?

MCP v2 will work with PMDG 737NGXu, PMDG 747 and PMDG 777 in P3D and with PMDG 737, MS/ASOBO 747, MS/ASOBO 787, Leonardo MD82, Aerosoft CRJ, FlyByWire A320 and G1000 equipped airplanes in MSFS if you get the rksoftware Oi4FS and airplane drivers.

Check www.flightsim4fun.com

Main difference between MCP v2 and v3 is that the former lacks the SPD INTV and ALT INTV buttons.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

I spoke to the seller and it is the V3 version.

MCP 737NG V3H

He made me an offer for 300 euros, which I think is fine.

Is the quality of OpenCockpits MCP okay? can you recommend it?

Thanks

Yes, the quality is very good. For 300 euros you can't get any better, but you will need to get some additional software drivers.

Hi, thank you for the link.

I got the hardware and have a question.

Do I have to buy the software on the homepage?

Once the software costs 29 euros or 49 euros? which do i need ?

And do I have to buy the software? are there no OpenCockpits programs?

[andymandy 31]

I am not aware of any other easy way to make your Opencockpits modules work in P3D MSFS with the airplanes listed in my 

It is best to buy the software at the homepage to have the very latest versions.

 

You need both apps for MSFs and an additional driver for P3D( 20 Euros).

The software is easy to install and use.

Yes, there is Spadnext.

I've had a license for 2 years and didn't know that Spadnext OpenCockpits supports hardware.

Started Spadnext yesterday, selected a profile and it works.

it is even completely discontinued.

I have another question about the power supply:

The power supply, which I noticed, unfortunately has a wobbler and has to order a new one.

I also bought EFIS from OpenCockpits, but it didn't come with a power supply.

That's why I don't have a backlight.

I wanted to order the power supply from OpenCockpits, but they want a tax number from me, which I find complicated.

Can I also buy the power supply from Amazon? which ones will i need exactly?

and one last question.

When I shut down my PC, the light stays on at MCP. Is there a way to turn it off?`or do I have to unplug the cable every time?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm a bit further.

Today comes a power supply from Amazon and I'm curious if it works with it.

I've had problems with Spadnext for the last few days, although the program has never caused any problems, it has had problems with MCP Panel.

So I bought the complete software for MSFS and P3D from flightsim4fun.

It cost over 100 euros, but I would say it's worth every penny.

I also had problems with the installation, but flightsim4fun's support was very helpful here, even though it was very late.

Now everything works perfectly
