Hi Everyone. I'm still a relative newbie to Mobiflight and my first dip into the whole Home Cockpit thing started with me getting a small addon for my Honeycomb Bravo TQ designed by Russ Barlow called the Sidekick. I had one 3D printed and it is wired up to a Mega 260 board with 4 Switches and one LED as follows :

. 1. Parking Brake LED ( Output ) 2. Parking Brake Switch.3. Engine 1 Fuel Lever Cut Off. 4. Engine 2 Fuel Lever Cut Off. 5. Landing Gear Horn Cut Out Button. ( All Inputs )

Using MF I got it all working with my PMDG 737 in MSFS. ( takes a bow ). That is really a huge compliment to the intuitiveness of MF and the great tutorials on YT. I will definitely be donating in order to keep MF going. Its the only software I've been able to get my head around. Tried Air Manager 4 for Desktop first and got nowhere. :-(.

OK great I'm well pleased. The PMDG is my go to bird for FS. I saved all the settings in a PMDG B737 profile.

Now I want to do the same with the IXEG 737-300 Classic Plus for X-Plane 12. Totally different plane, different settings. So I want to unload the PMDG 737 profile and create a new profile. I'm finding the File menu is not letting me do this. If I press File-Load with MF stopped, I don't get any browse window to either load a different profile to the current one. So I could use File-New and then build another profile for the IXEG 737 , test it and save it as such, but then how would I swap between the PMDG and IXEG if there is no load option?

Maybe I'm missing something really simple here but I don't want to merge all my different profiles. I want to start MF and load the profile of my choice depending on which aircraft I'm going to be flying. Can someone please explain ( without sniggering, I know I'm totally inept with this sort of IT ) how I can do this in a way that makes sense. Many thanks in advance guys. Forgot to mention, I have the Auto-Run feature disabled.
