Hello mobiflight people

I started my assembly of the MCP of the Boeing 737 NGX from PMDG, I managed to present the values on the 7-segment displays with almost no delay.

I would like to implement the buttons and rotary enconders, is there a tutorial with a step by step?

Regarding the FSUIPC, for the Mobiflight software to work it needs some adjustment, I am researching a lot, but as the users here are very advanced I cannot follow.

Thank you

Hi
Welcome to Mobiflight.

Your problem is a missing part of experience.
Pretty sure lot of postings here looks "chineese" for you cause the used methodes are advanced. Yes... thats normal. Cause you still miss the basics.
To build a cockpit you not need to study informatics for 5 years. Most users got good cockpits after some months. BUT you need to learn some stuff to understand the system.

In germany we called this "the tail of a rat" ..... Means you need a information learn it and there popup 2 new questions..... You also learn that 2 facts but every part again create new questions.

for exmpale at beginning a guy told me i should use "Offsets" .... I google for it and come to FSUIPC. I read 2-3 Hours what FSUIPC is and then i need to learn how "hexadecimal" work. I also google for that and find out there exist also "binary" that is verry important. Then i want to build a panel and learned i need a CNC machine..... There i find out i need a CAD Construction software.... So i download a freeware and spent 2-3 weeks to also learn this element.

You see.... the beginning is hard.... But with better knowledge the curve of success increase !

If you got questions.... Ask us ( specialy on Discord) Cockpitbuilders are a big family... We help if we can. BUT you need to read and learn a lot of stuff youreself same time !

Hi pizman.

Thank you for the information, really only with reading we can improve knowledge.

I can already display some information on the displays, I learned from readings on the topics here in the forum.

We always want the easy way.

But I will continue my reading and any questions I will ask.

Thank you

Really only with reading we can improve knowledge.

That was true unitl 2005 ..... Then some smart guys from the Silicon Valley create a thing called "Youtube" and some others build VoIP to allow us to talk for free all over the world !

So yes... I´m also oldschool and read.... But today watching Videoguides and simply asking a quetion in Dsicord Voicechat to a advanced guy is more easy and effective as pure reading !

Feel free to start a call in Dsicord if we are online. We help you if we can.
