I used Mobiflight with P3D for my home made MCP. I now use X-plane with the Zibo mod so I was very happy to see that Mobiflight can work with X-Plane.

However it seems much more difficult than using FSUIPC was so can anyone point me to when I can learn this from the start as I would love to be able to start using my MCP panel again with all of the switches rotary controls and lights I had programmed in the old setup.

Any help would be good as I am not in any way a programmer!

Thanks

Dave

Thats the Problem!

Mobiflight work with XPUIPC same way as with FSUIPC.

The difference is that most AddOn puplishers in FSX/P3D support there data to FSUIPC ( Like PMDG on there own Offsets)
In XPUIPC this not happen. Only the standard range is working there. It´s posible to include the needed things by creating own offsets and readout the data (Xplane Datarefs) and write it finaly on that Offsets.
this is done by some own coding in the XPUIPC.cfg file.

Summary: YES you can use Mobiflight with Xplane..... YES it´s also possible to use AddOns like Zibo. but also YES it is more difficult and YES you must have some Programming skills ( not advanced verry basic) OR you try to find a other user who do this for you or share his own file for you !

Use Forum Search for things like "Zibo737" You will find some stuff.

Good Luck !
