I know that VimSim/HCSCI and as a result one Mega can be extended and control many functions both input and output.

I am running X Plane 11 and can use VimSim but I think MobiFlight is perhaps better supported and more resources for Help

Hi
Basicly we "was" fully against about this thematic..... And we still think it is the wrong logic..... A System that controll the Devices Directly is more easy and stable as a Multiplexer logic.
In easy words..... Why handling hundrets of devices via one Mega Controller and one USB Line (Bandwich) , if we still got the posibility to handle 50+ individual USB Ports and Mega Ic´s fully indipendet.

BUT

We also see the fact that SimVim ("Hixxi" as we called it :P ) not going forward to handle FS2020 and lots of users are verry disapointed about the Web Based Configurator.
So a lot of people begin to use MF the last months but get blocked about the missing Multiplexer/Matrix support!

Our Intention:
We still think a "new" user or a SimVim User that beginn a new Project / Panel should work with our current Logic.... Means Single Devices and new Megas.
BUT
We like to implement the basic System for the SimVim Multiplexers in the future ..... So a SimVim User who already owned a Board with a Multiplexer can swap without rework it.

Whatever..... My personal Opinion..... It is more usefull ( if a user like to fully swap to MF) to also swap the Hardware..... Means if there are 2 Multiplexer with 32 Devices Each..... Simply put a Mega nearby..... Move the 64 Wires from the 2 Multiplexer into the Mega and all is fine. 20 Minutes of work but no need to wait for a patch !

Summary: Sebastian still own those Boards and startup to test them and implement it into a Closed Alpha Testing...... But this is not Priority and i can not give you a estimated release date or a garantee if this finaly come live !
Good Luck !
