Yes it can. Very customizable assignments to all rotaries, switches and buttons.

SPAD.next also supports the MCP2 on MSFS in the latest alpha builds. Very powerful tool to assign multiple actions and scripts to any button. SPAD has a very active Discord server with much discussion and help getting various devices to work with the 737. I have not bought the NG yet as I am doing a worldwide farewell tour on P3D, but may this weekend to start setting up the MCP2. I also purchased AAO, but find SPAD.next has a much easier GUI based interface to program devices.

I've been having this issue for the last year or so. A couple of remotes had leaking batteries. Also a few other devices with AA or AAA batteries. All Duracell and Energizer. I find a cotton swab with vinegar followed by one with 90% isopropyl alcohol cleans up the contacts well to avoid having to replace devices.

Honeycomb Alpha: How can I be sure I get V2?
cshark172 replied to eslader's topic in Upcoming Products and general discussion
I saw somewhere that it will be released the end of the year. Can't remember where I saw that. Initially, they were shooting for the 1st quarter. -
P3D MK scenery on sale 50% off until March 6
cshark172 replied to dpergau's topic in The Bargain Hunter's Shack
Looks like just their P3D sceneries are on sale, not MSFS. -
Live weather is only partially working for me. It seems it has lost the ability to depict overcast skies. I am in S. Texas, and wanted to do some MVFR/IFR flights in the low overcast we have had the last couple of days. Live weather was getting the baro/winds/temps spot on, but the skies were clear with fog reducing the visibility. Tried a few other airports with only OVC in the METAR and same thing. If I go to an airport with SCT or BKN, clouds display no problem.

Looking for laminated checklists
cshark172 replied to SpaceForceCapt's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Any real pilot shop will have these for most GA aircraft. Here is what is available at Sporty's: https://www.sportys.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=laminated+checklist -
TBM 930 Throttle Lever not moving.
cshark172 replied to Megafly_01's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This is because they are using B-events for the throttle which are not currently exposed outside the simulator for 3rd party control programs like FSUPIC and SPAD.next. There are many of these events throughout the SIM, including buttons that display the same problem If you haven't yet, please vote on the following topic for Asobo/MS to address and make these events visible for external controls configuration and cockpit builders: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/enhanced-api-to-access-all-aircraft-state-and-trigger-all-cockpit-functions/454608 -
Another +1 for Orbx. Also, if not using FTX SoCal, it has a switch in the configuration panel to select compatibility with FTX Global.

Using MB Graphics Display For 2nd Monitor
cshark172 replied to Rocky_53's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Check out this video from Les O'Reilly: -
Yes, unlimited visibility with EA off returned for me with this hotfix. I applied the tweak that Beau Hollis posted on the LM forum prior to HF1 (which included the fix), and I got the haze back.

I, too installed, and image quality seems improved. Before I had alot of shimmering and sparkles, but after a few flights, those issues are stiil there, but dramatically reduced to the point, I barely notice. No difference in frame rate or periodic short stutters. Running 4xSSAA, and frames locked 30 with vSync and 30hz monitor.
-
I find this interesting, since the other day, I was starting a flight at FSDT Charlotte in the PMDG 737-800. Frames were rock solid at 30. I went through my preflight, and when I was getting ready to pushback after about 30 minutes, the frames were down to 2-5. Saved the state, exited the sim and restarted and back to 30 fps, and was able to complete the flight to TJSJ with no issues. The only other time I have encountered this was on a flight from KMCO-KHOU. As I crossed the coast line from the Gulf of Mexico going into Louisiana, the pauses and degraded frames set in. Restarted from an autosave and was able to complete the flight to Houston with no problem.

Difference in tree colors between P3D versions?
cshark172 replied to Clutch Cargo's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Turning off dynamic vegetation cleared up the bright green trees on my install. -
After updating to FSUIPC 6.1.6, the LINDA GUI is not visible
cshark172 replied to Stefan01's topic in LINDA Support
As a follow up to the Linda GUI not starting with the latest FSUIPC, and support from John Dowson, it appears it had to do with the path that contained the Linda.exe had a space in it. Once the path in the run command in fsuipc.ini was enclosed in quotes, the Linda GUI starts with no issues. Thought I would post this solution since the entry in the fsuipc.ini is added by Linda when the option is selected in setup, in case others have the same issue. -
After updating to FSUIPC 6.1.6, the LINDA GUI is not visible
cshark172 replied to Stefan01's topic in LINDA Support
I am also having this issue. There have been a couple of posts on the FSUIPC forum as well. -
Wow, doing pattern work this afternoon with METAR and ATIS reporting 10 for visibility, and couldn't even see the field from the downwind leg.
-
Yep, bought it, tried a few times, and now never run it anymore. Caused severe performance issues on my rig. At least the weather is close to real most of the time. I have yet to see live weather in MSFS look like the real reported conditions. The thunder and lighting in clear skies is ridiculous.

MSFS - Made it my only civilian simulator
cshark172 replied to ESzczesniak's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Once PMDG releases the NGX for MSFS, P3D will be wiped from my drive and be history. Just hurts thinking of the thousands of dollars I spent on addons over the years. Already using MSFS as my ONLY GA sim. Even the A2A Cessna's won't lure me back to P3D. With the GA plane mods out, the defaults are actually pretty good. -
Turbo Prop Conditioner Controls
cshark172 replied to Stratocruiser1's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Unfortunately, this cannot be done after the SU6 Update. They changed the behaivor of Condition levers to be discrete detents for cutoff, low idle and high idle. They forgot to add an event for binding keys, buttons or axis to the new condition lever input, so only mouse clicks work at this time. -
I have to agree with this. Every time I come to AVSIM on my phone or tablet, the entire screen is covered by an ad and I cannot see the content. Close the add, load another forum topic, and the screen is covered again. And on and on and on. Very annoying.
