MobiFlight Community Support

Hello,

I wonder, will there be any full support for XP-11 in the future, where we can set dataref's or commands just like EventID's or Offset's write and run it down smoothly. Right now, it only works via XPUIPC and you can't just set anything customly in detail (at least that's what i know).

To be honest, i started to get boring from P3D after trying XP-11's demo. It has a really good "flying feeling", and don't even mentioning about the graphics. Also, they are hell of a mod's there, most of which are free to use. So, i'm on the brink of converting into XP-11 permanently, however i should find a complete solution to use my home-made cockpit with XP-11, which with MobiFlight seems quite hard, as it doesnt support custom dataref's and commands.

I don't want to change my Firmware's for ArdSimX, which does nearly the same thing for XP-11 as MobiFlight does for P3D/FSX right now, and it doesn't have a fancy software like MobiFlight where you can set & save everything easily.

That would be awesome, i suppose, and if any kind of payment would be needed, i'd be gladly do that.

Cheers.

Here a comment from Sebastian is needed..... i don´t know if he plan this in the future.

By the way... I talk about exact this in a other topic some weeks ago.

I already think that a implement of this is not usefull in the current system. IF Sebastian will do this i think a complete seperated system is needed.
So we will get a "Mobiflight Basic" for FSX/P3D and a "Mobiflight XP Edition" for Xplane .
Otherwise in ONE software 50% of the features are not needed and make everything more difficult.... Specialy the User Interface

Last Note....
I think Sebastians intention to creat Mobiflight was, that there was no "link" existing in the past between Arduino and FSX .
In case of XPlane you said.... With ARDSimX this solution is existing already.....

So Sebastian needs to know himself if he like to spent hundrets of hours again to build something that is existing already ..... I Don´t know.

ArdSimX does exist, yes, but it doesn't have a UI like this, and there's an online configrator which prepares you a config file according to your inputs and you place it into your plugins folder blablabla.. All in all, it's not as simple as MobiFlight, that's what i'm saying.

Besides, if there's a way to create custom dataref&commands and bind them to some custom Offset values, would it be working with MobiFlight via XPUIPC ?

You can see the awnser of our question in the XPUIPC Files....

Basicly XPUIPC is a stand aloane programm that Read/Write Datarefs and define them to "virtual" Offsets.... ( Like a simple transloator( Compiler tool ) Simply said.... it make a virtual FSUIPC simulation that mobiflight can read/write . Mobiflight itself see XPUIPC in same way like FSUIPC.... Mobiy also not know that Xplane is running.... it means it work with FSX all the time.

Finaly..... If you have some programming skills you can rework the XPUIPC code as you like it.... Theres a special file where you can add additional code lines to get things working as you need.....

For example you want that function xxxx is on Offset yyyyy.... Then you need to add a code line in that file like " READ Dataref blabla and write it on Offset ???? ".
BUT NOTE: That need a little experience and skills with the syntax that XPUIPC is working with.

I know that way would work and theoratically i can define, say 100 dataref's to 100 random Offsets and make them work via XPUIPC. Also i've read the file you've mentioned in the XPUIPC folder.

But, i couldn't understand where should i place these entries; under that file or in another, separate file ?

Not 1005 Shure... I have no Xplane so i can´t test it.....
But i think this must be write in THAT File you read the instructions....

All Text there is written with a "/" in front... Means that is code that will be not excecuted.
So i would try to write the new code in THAT File.

I'll give it a try, thanks!

That text file is quite complicated, written in a way that i can't fully understand (arrays and stuff).

I've tried some lines as implemented there, but they just didn't work.

If there's anyone around who has done the same thing & succeeded (connecting MobiFlight via XPUIPC), please let me know.

Hello,

I use XPUIPC with Mobiflight via WideClient. It work flawless for the most functions I need and it is so easy to get a compass running. But not all things are supported and some are not working properly. The audio panel was a big issue for me and I had a big test run with pizmann to get it working. It work but only with a workaround. I decided to use ardsimx for functions that are not integrated or doesn't work. I gave up to try to implement things in XPUIPC because I wasn't able, the same issues like you have I think. I use the whole thing for a Beech Baron simulator.
This way is working for and I would like to see Mobi would supporting xplane more but Sebastian is doing a great job and no complaints from my side.

Regards Christian

Well I use MobiFlight and ArdSimX together at the same time. Until now everything works fine for me. Since the last MobiFlight update I think about a complete migration to MobiFlight. But let see what happens. From my point of view I prefer MobiFlight.

Regards from Berlin

Me too

Would like to use only Mobi.
