Dear community,

I've just tried mobiflight using arduinos for the push buttons of the G1000.
Airmanager works quite similar but has the advantage of using gauges and the G1000 screen on a monitor. So I am wondering wher the advantage of using mobiflight is if I still need AirManager to get the instruments LCD on my monitor?
Is there planned an add on? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Bests, Christian

Hi Christian,

MobiFlight is meant to interface hardware with your flight sim without having to know how to code.
Instead of software instruments like AirManager does, you can create real gauges with stepper motors and servo motors.

The strength of MobiFlight is the support for Arduino, the flexible input and output assignments and the huge community of cockpit builders.
Please join our Discord server to get the best out of MobiFlight.

Have a great day!
Sebastian
