Hi musti,

welcome to MobiFlight!

To solve your problem you should first try the tutorial for the parking brake include the parking brake LED.

If you succeed, that is the first step in the right direction.

Be so kind and describe exactly what you have done so far and what goal you are pursuing.
Starting from the Mobiflight status to the values that MF shows you.

Mobiflight recognizes the connected modules (Arduino MEGA-boards) and the connection to FSUIPC (in the MF-program-window bottom left a green hook).
If these conditions are met, it is very likely that you made a mistake in the configuration.
Activate logging in MF under EXTRAS -> SETTINGS by ticking the hook. Then set the LogLevel to DEBUG. Then MF shows you at the bottom of the status bar what it has detected in actions.

After that, you will report back here and tell us what you have achieved so far and what you would like to achieve.
Grüße,
Stephan (Time: UTC+2)

Hi Musti

iconmusti:


......
fsx gold edition
fsuipc version 4.853 date 2012
.......
file pmdg b737ngx-options .ini found in b737ngx folder and added lignes
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
......
documentation list input events are in sdk folders




1. FSUIPC "maby" to old.... Overall not actual.....
Please Update to newest FSUIPC for FSX ( V 4.971 today ) http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

2. Check Version of PMDG B737NGX ..... for Homecockpit Support you need minimum 1.b For Full Support you need 1.d
Its High recommend to use Servicepack 1d (DELTA) .... Get it from PMDG Homepage if you have Download Version or from Puplisher of your country if you use DVD Version.

3. Check if INI Entry is saved correct.
If you have FSX and PMDG in a Windows Secured Folder like /programmx86 then you have no write permissions. In that case your edit was not saved ( without issue report)

4. For INPUTS please read the file in SDK Folder Correct... You have to recalculate the ID´s ( Add 69632 to the internal PMDG Event Number )
A Ready to use List is for example here..... http://myhomecockpit.de/PMDG_737NGX_EVENT_IDs_SP1d.pdf

Please report success or request for more help !
Good Luck !

HI I request someone has response
we know that the B737 pmdg offsets and events id are not registered in fsuipc as standard plane offsets
do we register PMDG offsets and event ids manually in mobiflight interface ?

( offsets output will be copied from offset mapping PMDG 737NGX pdf documents ?
event id input will be copied from PMDG 737NGX EVENT ID pdf doccument ? )
:confused:
thank you

Hi
I not understand your question.... All was explaned in my posting above !

Again:

FIRST get shure your system is ready for that....
1. Check FSUIPC is up to date
2, Check your PMDG is up to date
3, Check the INI Entry is done to enable Data comunication !

THEN all Offsets and EventID are "registred" in FSUIPC already in same waylike standard aircrafts.

To work with PMDG via Mobiflight you did the same like with standard aircrafts.... But just use the other Offsets and other Event ID.
INPUT: All Inputs are done by EVENTID ( not via Offsets like in Standard fsx) ... List is here http://myhomecockpit.de/PMDG_737NGX_EVENT_IDs_SP1d.pdf
OUTPUT: All Output are done by Offsets. The pdf for this is located in ... /FSX/MODULES/FSUIPC DOCUMENTS/Offset Mapping for PMDG 737NGX.pdf

Have Fun !
Good Luck !
