Is it possible for Mobiflight to detect RealSimGear and be able to map the switches / buttons via FSUIPC? That would save my day! I have a few buttons that don’t work for the B200 from FLIGHT1 to be control by RealSimGear.

How should this be possible ??

I never heard about that..... But a short google search show me premade Panels (Buttons and screens) .

If this is correct then the awnser is NO..... Mobiflight simply use a Arduino Mega.... It can not detect any other hardware.
Technical you buy those expensive stuff to NOt need to programm them yourself .... So Mobiflight is completly wrong here !


Solution:
If you got a Hardware from that manifactur.... Why you not ask in there forum or hotline for help. You pay money for a panel so ith´s there job to get sure your inputs work !

They use the same board in their device,

Yes, I did reach to them, and they said that Mobiflight might work as they use the same board. They only support specific aircraft, and the B200 from Flight1, is not supported by them.

So I was just reaching out to see if this was done before as they use the same board.

I wondering.... They realy use a Mega2560R3 Controller ?? Ok.... then "imposible" change into "maybe posible"

Next important question is.....

1. How do they handle the Display??
Is this a Monitor for the Computer ( like HDMI, DVI DP ) ??? We must get sure flashing the Mobiflight Firmware NOT kill the Monitor driver/system if the Arduino is involved in some ways.

2. How do they handle Inputs.
Mobiflgiht work with PullUp Pins. So a Button Input is set to a Pin ( that is supported with 5v from Mega) and is end in a GRD .
Its not allowed to have a resistor in this circuit and its also compeltly wrong to end in 5V instead of GRD.
Can you confirm this company wired there Inputbuttons/switches in this way.
Just a Arduino Mega not means the wire logic is compatible. every programmer can handle the Mega in a different way.

Summary:
If this is realy a MEGA 2560 R3 (You say so) AND the Monitor is indipendet ( look so) AND if the Buttons are in same Logic like Mobiflight need it ( i don´t know) ....
THEN its in theory posible to flash Mobiflight Firmware on the Mega. But NOTE: that will kill the whole Logic from "RealSimGear"
You can NOT say you like 5 Buttons with Mobiflight and the others by the original system..... If you use Mobiflight and "overwrite" the old firmware then ALL must be done with Mobiflight.

Thank you for your help. Will get back to you when I have the answer.
