Hi
I have to say I love the software and have had great fun trying out the autopilot project.
I and planning to try and build my own MCP for the A320. I am awating the release of the P3d version of FSL a320-x ( which hopefully will be followed by more detailed information regarding offsets and the other bespoke controls) in the mean time I also have the aerosoft A3** series and would like the MCP to work with the Aerosoft variants.
My problem is I soon get lost and confused when faced with a wall of lvar,offset,lua, parameters, etc . is it possible to intigrate a mobiflight driven MCP with the Aerosoft A3**
I have LINDA, FSUIPC (reg,d ver) and have used the aerosoft profiles to assign my current homebuilt controls ( both to the default GA and the Aerosoft A3**).
I have struggled with a radio project using Lnk2fs as I cannot grasp the simple coding of the arduino ( its a mental block thing )
I do learn faster watching an example and following ratherthan trying to absorb the information in text.

I have read the FSUIPC manual and the advanced manual but it did not make things any clearer ..
I hope that somebody is able to guide me thru the initial steps so I can at leaset begin to see the logic behind the method
Again well done on a superb utility

Hello Maggsy

First ... Yes ! You can do youre planing with Mobiflight,

Myself i got no experience with the Aerosoft Bus.... But i heard from other Users its a "Bitc**" :blink:
Some Addons are verry Easy to read and write controlls. As you talked Aerosoft need LVars and some other Stuff....
I Only use PMDG Boeings and can say theyre wunderfull.

BUT:
It workes with Aerosoft and Mobiflight, too. But i think you need to use some Lua to work with the Lvars. Simply explanded..... You need to convert some values (by scripting) into a format that Mobiflight can work with..... But Please for more Infos ask another Users that have experience with Aerosoft.

By the Way.... Maby take a look to Jeehell. Lots of Airbus Fans use this. (Think its for free). And as i heard its realy good and realistic ! Or you just wait a bit and check the FSL Airbus. It will be the best Airbus simulation in market.... But i donĀ“t know how it allowed to controll by FSUIPC and Homecockpits.

Good Luck !
Good Luck !
