generally 1 master card and 1 usbexpansion card should be enough for all switches to work on Captain MIP and Center MIP it should also be enough for all annunciators (outputs)
you only connect switches to mastercrad the other usbexpansion for now just think of it as a way to connect your master card to USB on your PC
switches --->
LEDS annunciators ----> MASTER CARD ---- > USB EXPANSION CARD ---> USB in your PC
if you want a flaps gauge working you need servos card too
if you want Ni-set and SPD-REF you will need 2 dual rotary encoders and card bu0836x (easy way) to make them work, but for beginners i don't recommend it..kinda useless i made it in my cockpit but still don't really need it...
again just gotta read the manual few times over for OCmastercard it really isn't that difficult best, once you have it connect one switch as per their example in manual and you get a hang of it
you will need to learn to program them after with SIOC to actually make them do something in the SIM but there are many examples that just need some basic editing to make it work, the bad part is they are aircraft specific for example i with help of other users got almost every switch working and configured with SIOC to work with PMDG737NGX but if i wanted to fly some other aircraft.. well nothing is gonna work :roll: would have to write SIOC to make it work for other aircraft..
as far as your vrinsight COMBO i guess they make drivers for many aircraft so that shouldn't be so hard, not sure i don't use their hardware.
