MobiFlight Community Support

Hi, I just downloaded and installed this and had a question, are the PMDG selections (offsets) included in the program as I cant see any anywhere to add them, and the mobiflight folder in empty, could someone direct to the section where it talks about the PMDG setup.

Also does it need to be installed in the MODULES folder as I didntt see where it said this....but assume it has to go in there right?

thanks! steve

Hi Welcome to Mobiflight !

You Mixup some stuff.

1. Missing Presets NOT means missing feature !
The Preset Lists in Mobiflight are just a little service for common aircrafts. PMDG Outputs are fully not included. Most of them are for Standard Aircraft
BUT Thousends of things are posible by creating those configs yourself.
Open a file. Create a new OUTPUT Config and insert the needed Date ( Offset Adress, Size, Typ, BCD and Bitmask setting and so on) yourself. The needed informations are in the Offset Lists. those are deliverd with FSUIPC or by your AddOn Pulplishers. In case of PMDG they are in the /Modules/FSUIPC Documents subfolder !


2. To handle PMDG.

Here you need:

a: Sim Installed and Up to Date.... e.g. FSX, P3D

b: PMDG isntalled and Up to Date ( Most PMDG not support Homecockpits at release... you need to load the newest Servicepack (patch) ! B737 is as i know PAtch 1d a.t.m.)

c: FSUIPC Also Up to date. To have all possible Features you should ALWAYS use the newest FSUIPC ( whatever Payware or freeware Both work fine)

d: You must enable Data comunication in the PMDG INI File..... A Manual is included in the PMDG Offset Lists. Just write there 2 single lines....

To enable the data communication output from the PMDG aircraft, you will need to open the file
737NGX_Options.ini (located in the FSX folder PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX), and add the following lines
to the end of the file:
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1

Thanks, I use LINDA software with add on .lua files, but that installed in the modules folder, so this one can go anywhere I assume.

ill give it a shot! thanks, I just wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything, and per your list im all set!

thanks,Steve
