new to mobiflight first of all.. Love the simplicity of it thus far. I have been using SIMvim for 2 years and the programming is amazing but the wiring sucks with all of wires running to one board.

Question: I'm converting from xplane to mfs20 because of graphics and the wiring schematics of mobiflight and ease of use. Are there enough input and output options for a full 737 already for MFS20? I don't see a native 737 and for payware until pmdg release theres, nothing good at all. I am tempted to build a new Fly-by-wire a320 but really love my 737 setup. Plus I haven't heard if pdmg will be able to integrate all of the commands with mfs20.

Maybe I am not finding all of the options for Boeing commands for the overhead. (I am new to mobiflight though).

any thoughts?

Hi

Basically MF have no limits here.
We can handle enough Boards to build a Full B737.
And we can Controll every Function and show every status the Sim allow us to "read/write".
thats at the End the critical Point.

FS2020 and our new WASM Tool give us much more posibilitys like in the past.
We not longer need to hope that a aircraft share its data via FSUIPC or we no longer need to write own code.
BUT
At the moment Asobo not allow us to read/write all kinds of Variables. Most are possible but e.g. the "BVars" are not.

The final question.... Does the B737 AddOn we like to use work with standard A or LVars? If yes we can do everything.
If not we need to wait until the other Vars are available to us.

Whatever good news....
It looks like AddOn Aircrafts work mostly with the available Vars. The critical BVars are used mostly by Asobo Stock Aircrafts.
Also PMDG ( DC6) looks pretty nice, same way to the Old versions.
So i expect PMDG 737 will be useable with MF directly. No garantee but it looks good to me!
Good Luck !
