Are there any plans for adding MSFS2020 events for the new Aerosoft CRJ?

Me too are very interested to improve my panel for MSFS Aerosoft CRJ.
Aerosoft has published the Lvars for the CRJ and also i'm waiting for Mobiflight improvement.
Thanks in advance.

So do the LVARs get added to the Community\mobiflight-event-module\modules\events.txt file?

And then to set the groups that they go we put them in the Mobiflight\Presets\msfs2020_eventsids.cip?

With the help of Rofl-er I was able to get a Heading encoder to work.
For Encoders:

events.user.txt
//ASCRJ FCP
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_SEL_INC#(L:ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_CHANGE, 1) ++ (>L:ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_CHANGE)
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_SEL_DEC#(L:ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_CHANGE, 1) -- (>L:ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_CHANGE)

msfs2020_eventids_user.cip
ASCRJ FCP:GROUP
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_SEL_INC
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_SEL_DEC

Other working variables:
ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_SEL, ASCRJ_FCP_SPEED_CHANGE
ASCRJ_FCP_ALT_SEL, ASCRJ_FCP_ALT_CHANGE
ASCRJ_FCP_WHEEL, ASCRJ_FCP_WHEEL_CHANGE

For buttons:

msfs2020_eventids_user.cip
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_BTN#(L:ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_BTN,Bool) ! (>L:ASCRJ_FCP_HDG,Bool)

events.user.txt
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_BTN

and I have a problem with the encoders in the CRJ. I'm definitely doing well because the buttons work. But the encoders do not want to. For example, I choose events for HDG:
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_SEL_INC
ASCRJ_FCP_HDG_SEL_DEC
I activate them with a marker, but they don't rotate. The encoders are good for sure. I don't know what I'm doing wrong :confused: I have last version Mobilflight 8.1.4.

Unfortunately :( I have no idea ... The PCB and the encoders work for sure, because I use them in PMDG P3dv4. In msfs2020 they don't want to work. thanks for the tip

Ok...I think I know what's going on, but I don't know what causes this problem ... After running Arduino Mega with P3D everything works. However, when I run the same board in MSFS, problems begin. The buttons behave normally but when I turn the Arduino ecdoder it will not be visible to the winows system - it appears and disappears. The sound is the same as disconnecting and connecting to a USB flash drive. Let me remind you once ... The same Arduiono, the same encoders in P3D work normally. I changed USB ports, changed cables. I also replaced the encoders and colored cables that connect the encoders with the Arduino - it gives nothing. Weird... It looks as if the MSFS2020 itself was generating some bad impulses

Thats strange.....

As you know.... Mobiflight itself not "know" what Sim is in use. In "Offline Mode" it fully not care about the sims.....
In "Normal mode" it check if a FSUIPC is installed .... And for FS2020 it check if the WASM Module is there.

BUT

Nothing have a effect about Board detecting or about a device like the Encoder.
So if FSUIPC7 and the WASM Module is installed.... MF will work same way as in the past.


My only idea..... The installation from FS2020 ( and maybe other installations you do on the same periode) "kill" something.... E.g. the USB Drivers, Net Framework or whatever.
From our point of view..... A High number of users already switch to FS2020 without trouble.... Means the issue is 99% on your System !
Good Luck !

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to add a VS option and assign it to the rotary encoder? I searched the options MF-MSFS2020 Events - ASCRJAP but I can't find it there. Thank you very much:)

Hi
If a Event is missing..... You can add it by hand ( in the "user" file)
All is explaned here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKBjEl9E5A4

OR join our Discord !!! https://discord.gg/99vHbK7
There are lots of advanced users who include new events and you can ask for help ( or check if they still done the needed "VS" Stuff already )

Finally.... Please SHARE your Event if you build it and it work for you..... Add it to our Spreadsheet so we can include it to MF and then it´s in the list on next release !
Good Luck !
