Need testers for 737 systems simulator software

[metamarty]

Hi Marty,
I just flew two flights and when on final, about 5 miles out, the flaps numbers dissapear from the speed tape?? Is that right?

Andy

Yes, flap maneuvre speeds are not visible when flaps are selected in position 30 or 40. This is standard practice.

Hi, can we use one pc for the entire Avionics suite? Are InterfaceIT from Flightdecksolutions planned for support?
Can we use the PMDG .air file a a 737 model i think it's better than default 737, or do you suggest another one?
Also an updated changelog for each version would be good!
Thank you and...
Great work on this suite, keep it going!

Dear Marty
I have hardware Mcp and Efis working with extended FSUIPC Pm offsets
I wonder if your modules fully suppors those extended offsets

Thanks in advance for replay

I currently have no FDS support yet, but I am definately planning it. You can use any 737 air file you like. We use a PMDG air file. The changelog will be back online when thing stabilize a bit.

These MCP's are supported with the FSUIPC input option of the MCP. The only problem is that I don't have working hardware to test this. EFIS support is not yet done via FSUIPC, but it's coming. I'll put the beta manual online, which explains the bits and offsets.

Great software< I am just trying it out now.

Is there any way to use it with X_Plane? Is it compatible with XPUIPC? The FSUIPC Emulator for X_Plane?

I have attempted to make it "Re-Build" the scenery database, using X_Plane (v9.60 Rc2) Root Directory, but it does not finish the function.....as it does when "Re-Building" via MSFS 2004 Root Directory.

In theory it should be compatible, but the autopilot control is tuned for FS and seems unstable with X-Plane, so some tuning is required. The database build process uses standard FS bgl files. The output of the process is the "startpositions.xml" file. Once you have this file, you can copy it with the program and you won't need to do the rebuild again.

Hi Marty
Regarding Prosim MCP, I'm using a joystick emulator card for inputs, and I've read the manual which indicates that joystick cards don't work with the MCP. However, I was able to use PM offsets in FSUIPC to control MCP buttons and switches (PM MCP HDG Mode Button was one of them) and they work using the joystick cards. I also noticed that there were some functions such as 'PM MCP Spd Inc 10/.10'. I was wondering if you would be able to somehow change the numbers using these functions. I'm new to cockpit building so I'd be happy to learn why this might or might not work (it doesn't at the moment).
Thanks!
Brian

The FSUIPC input method of ProsimMCP is not fully developed yet, so the Spd Inc functions are indeed not functional. ProsimMCP expects the values in the indicated offsets. A possible workaround at this moment is using SIOC and configure ProsimMCP to use SIOC.

I currently have no working MCP unit that uses FSUIPC, so it's a bit hard to do the testing at the moment.

Firstly thank-you for your response, I understand this was not programmed for X_Plane, but I would enjoy the challenge of making it work, and appreciate any help.

I wonder if the A/P irregularities are the problem of X_Plane which has a notorious issue with it/s OEM A/P. I wonder if these anamloys would exist while using the x737 A/P?

I am using the x737 with either FreeFD/XPUIPC or vasFMC for my Glass Cockpit, but would enjoy your software more form what I have read.

Could you elaborate on your above post? As I understand from reading it, I could build the database using MSFS, and then transfer that whole file with your program, and possibly use it with X_Plane?

Hello Marty, I'm trying to use the script to the MCP and EFIS OC but I can not work. I followed all the steps of the manual, but still failed.

You can help me? Any one?
