Hello Sebastian

I received my various components and made my first tests yesterday with the help of your tutorials, it works and it's great !!! :thumbup:

I wanted to thank you for your work, I have been monitoring your application for a while and I found it very good and promising.

I read that for the moment mobiflight does not support potentiometers, this could be useful as already said other people.Is it planned a development with this function?

I know I can find solutions but it's worse than a 100% mobiflight solution !!! :)

I currently have enough to start my project and wait for the new updates.

Thanks again.

Best regards.

Hi.
Welcome to the Mobiflight !

YES. Potentiometers are a High Priority Target in the ToDo List.
But i can´t give you a date when it will come.
Sebastian script Mobiflight in his free time and have a Job and a family, too.

About the potentiometers itself.....

i Know we got some situations we would need them in the cockpit..... But i think personaly that Mobiflight not 100% a solution for this....

For Axis Controlls like Yoke , Brakes, Rudder and so on that is not realy usefull.... How should we set this with mobiflight finaly ??? (Whatever Potentiometers are supported then)
Here already you need to set the pottis direct in FSUIPC.... So you need a Joystick Controller, too.
Even if it´s possible finaly..... I would say it is much mor easyer to set this stuff in FSUIPC as in Mobiflight !


Other Things like Flaps will be much more professional if you build this with switches instead of Potentiometers !
So finaly there are only some special things like the Weather Radar Switches that need Potentiometers and can/should be set via Mobiflight.

My result.... I looking forward for this missing feature..... But i think it is not absolutly nessesary finaly..... It´s only need for some special things and this can be done with Encoders at the moment improvisional, too.

Lets wait if Sebastian maby release this in the next time.
Good Luck !
