    Aerosoft MCP

    Hello

    Ok I am working on an upgrade for the original Aerosoft MCP fo a friend, basically its a 3.4mm thick back illuminated lightplate that's self adhesive and you just stick it on the front of the original MCP fascia connect it to 5V and off you go.

    The pics below are of the first prototype, im just working on its PCB then i can light it up for the first time

    Its a shame to only build one of these so if there is any one else who has the same MCP and might be interested let me know.

    Will update pics when i get her working

    Re: Aerosoft MCP

    Good idea.
    Many years ago FDS made for me a thin grey layover for the 737, but it was not backlighted.






    I think it is a great piece of hardware, worked like a charm. Still have it.
    Great for a generic sim or a 747/57/67 of course. Can avoid zillion hours building your own.

    Maybe if you do it in grey too, it might revive the interest for that great MCP.

    Your's look like a million!
    the one I had was a simple very thin engraved sheet, nothing to compare with.

    I love your idea, should help getting all these good MCP's out of the dust and back to service. Andrew sold quite a few!!

    Thumbs up Re: Aerosoft MCP

    Hi Phil,

    I've had my MCP since November 2002 and was disappointed when Andrew called it a day.

    I'll wait until you post some shots of it backlit but provisionally, I'm interested. I'm impressed with the quality of the facsia.

    Hi Ray
    Andrew still stands behind his product, I had a little glitch 2 years ago and he sent me software and advice to solve it!!
    As for Phils panels you can go for it. He made a few for me. Top notch.

    Thanks Jack. It's reassuring to hear that Andrew is still available should a problem occur. Do you have a contact address for him please? Just for reference should it be required.

    I'm sure Phil's panels will be fine. An indication of the price would be handy though.
