Grüße aus Austin, Texas!

I have built a simple 12 button box with an LED RGB indicator light.

My MobiFlight is talking through FSUIPC7 to the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator with no problems. Pitot heat, parking brakes, etc. all work correctly.

I am having trouble locating MobiFlight presets that activate certain switches in the Cessna 172 cockpit. For instance, I do not know how to make the following commands work from my button box.
Fuel Pump (Fuel - Engine 1 Fuel Valve [FS2002+] does not work)
Fuel Selector
Carb Heat
Cabin Lights (Cockpit -Lights[FS2000+) does not work) Flash light Alt L Doors Does anyone know these specific presets, or perhaps direct me to MobiFlight or FSUIPC7 document that might have the answer? Danke, Da]FS2000+) does not work)
Flash light Alt L
Doors

Does anyone know these specific presets, or perhaps direct me to MobiFlight or FSUIPC7 document that might have the answer?

Danke, Dan

Hi Dan

In case you wrote FSUIPC7 we talk about FS2020 Right ?

1. Presets are not the only truth !
Those was done to make the life more easy.... And specialy for P3D and FSX.
Presets are just "pre-filled" Configs.... If something is missing ( or not work) you can simply enter the needed Data youreself.
All information is listed in the FSUIPC Lists ( Inlcuding in the FSUIPC manuals /documents)

2. The Major Problem.... FSUIPC7 ( and FS2020) is still BETA..... Means a lot of Functions not work already. From Mobiflight Side all is ready, but specialy pete Dowson is still not finished FSUIPC !
Means a lot of Offsets ( so also our Presets) will not work at the Moment. Hopefully in the future all will work again like in the past.
Until then you simply need to wait.... OR.... You make the Configs by hand ( without Presets). For most Inputs there exist improvisional Solutions via Joystick (VJOY) Buttons!
Good Luck !

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I am talking about MSFS 2020.

Good to know. I will dig into the FSUIPC7 docs and try to find missing items. I will share back any MobiFlight config that I can.

Thanks, Dan
