    OpenCockpits B737 MFC Script Help

    I have an Opencockpits B737 MFC. What script (.ssi) do I need to load in SIOC? I use either PMDG or default planes and I use FS2004. Right now I have it all configured and working, but does not follow the preset flight path as it should, when I press LNAV and the VNAV does even not light up. Everything else is working properly, and the software version of the MCP works. I believe all I need is the correct script that will enable this AutoPilot to configure properly. Can anyone send me a correct script for this piece of equipment?

    Thanks guys!

    Hi capttlm

    There's one vital thing missing in your project: The software counterpart to provide you with the 737 MCP functionality.
    None of the default planes in FS2004 are equipped with the gauges needed to run the MCP as its real life counterpart.

    PMDG does not provide SIOC (through FSUIPC) with the correct offsets to manipulate MCP buttons.

    This is why your LNAV or VNAV wont work.

    There's a workaround using keypress functions in SIOC to access the PMDG MCP panel. We don't use it so you'll have to get info somewhere else.

    Opencockpits has a 737 model that will support MCP/MFC functions, check their download page.

    Or you can do as we have done, buy Project Magenta software.

    Regards

    Morten

    Thank you for your help. I have already purchased PMG software for the MCP. How do I get Opencockpits physical MCP to setup their software to use on their MCP?

    Good question Kurby!

    I just did, and it clearly states that default aircrafts will not function 100%.

    It also lists the PMDG shortcuts I mentioned!

    Now you need to write a SIOC script using those shortcuts.

    If you're lucky, someone has already written a script, they might share it with you

    Regards
    Morten

    Read it! Do you have a answer to this problem? I have everything working with the exception of the MCP's Lnav and Rnav. So what do you have to offer if you would?

    Re: OpenCockpits B737 MFC Script Help

    Hi capttlm!

    There are 3 options I can think of:

    1. Use the PMDG script bundled with SIOC. Just make a copy of it and rename it SIOC.SSI (or open the SIOC.INI file change the name of scriptfile to load to PMDG.SSI). Remember! the LNAV and VNAV autopilot functions work in conjunction with the FMC/CDU. So you will have setup the CDU with horizontal and vertical flightpaths. If you have a hardware FMC/CDU, you need to add a addtional script to the PMDG.SSI to handle keystrokes on FMC/CDU (I Think). Let me know if this is the case, and I'll tell you how.

    2. Download ON737 with manuals And use it with the default 737. There's a SIOC script that will help connect your hardware to the ON737 suite.

    3. Buy Project Magenta Boeing-Type Software. And use the bundled scripts that comes with SIOC.

    Regards
    Morten
