Hi,
Thank you MobiFlight for this fantastic tool.

My A320-style mini-cockpit is now fully operational.

It consists of a mini-OVH of my own design, a 320FCU MCDU, a MiniFCU, two Stream Decks, 5 displays, a Trustmaster set and a VIRPIL joystick.

MobiFlight manages 3 Arduino's (OVH/MCDU/FCU) whose programs have been "merged" to make just one (3 in 1).

Now, when I'm flying, I never touch the PC mouse again!

I'd like to ask you a question. Is the maximum number of Arduino managed by MobiFlight always 3?

Good evening Philippe,

that's really cool.

Some small questions....

1) I assume that you build the OHP and the FCU on your own? 3D printed?
2) Is the MCDU also your own design or is it a ready build one to buy?
3) How do you control the small displays under your monitor? And what kinda displays are these?

Reason:
i already have a kind of mini home cockpit but right now in the middle of redesign it. Any cute idea would be integrated.

Thanks and cheers from Hamburg

Hi Kai,

A few quick answers....

1) I assume you built the OVH and FCU yourself? 3D printed?
As indicated in my first message, the OVH is my design (schematic, PCB and front panel). The FCU is Mini-Cockpit's (https://shop.minicockpit.com/)

2) Is the MCDU also of your design or is it a ready-made model?
No, it's the 320FCU (https://a320fcu.com/en/)

3) How do you control the small screens under your monitor? And what type of display is it?
Simply, command altgr+clic on the corresponding MSFS screen, then I move this screen to one of the 10" hdmi monitors (Amazon).

Thanks for your reply.

The price for the MCDU is really interesting. It makes no sense then to design everyting, print it on ones own and so on.

And the simpe trick with the additional screens.....cool.....i have to test it with FSX and investigate how many HDMI Outputs my GPU has.
