Unfortunately the UTC display isn't working correctly -- anyone have any experience fixing these types of displays?

A few more to play with and try and figure out how to interface with FMGS -

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know David has made some good progress with the RMP interfacing:

Is David here on the forum? If not maybe you could point him to my RMP virtual panel code, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to pick up the code and interface it easily to the hardware (if not I'm always available to help).

Yes, I'll ask him to contact you, cheers :)

Hi everyone! : )


I'm Dávid, the guy who's working on the ARINC429-FSX interface mentioned above by Ben. I asked him and he gave me the all-clear to post my newest update video about it in this thread.


I migrated to C# from VB and started from scratch. I added Simconnect functionality and improved things veeeery slightly on the Serial side. I also ported some useable code from my VB test program and used them as the skeleton to make more efficient functions.
The program reads every line of incoming data, however at the moment it only uses data that has the label "030", which is the label for "VHF FREQ".


While VHF1 sets COM1 in FSX normally, I decided to use VHF3 as a placeholder to set COM2. This was done temporarily to save time spent on wiring and soldering up another ARINC channel and messing with the Arduino wires and code. In the near future, I'll improve the current Arduino=>PC protocol a bit and add multi-channel capabilities.

Here's a video of the RMP working with FSX. If you want to skip the introduction and preparation, go to 2:24 where I tune into the ATIS.
Pardon the stuttering, I'm still not used to talking on cam, and I made this video 2 minutes after I woke up.:)

Excellent work David, you've made great progress in such few days. Awesome work!

Thank you very much for your kind words and support! I will try my best to keep making progress "at the speed of a Concorde" ;)
