    Thanks for your input. I will weigh the options carefully, as I have filled up my SYS3 card and need more inputs to finish the aircraft now.

    Thanks,

    Note that I used to have 2 KE72's 5 years ago. In my opinion you better use real interface systems such as Opencockpits IOcards or FSBUS, or Phidgets or even EPIC.

    Nico, thanks for this reply. 88 of the 108 inputs will be used for my two CDUs and the remainder will be employed for simple commands that dont require complex flight deck interfacing. My SYS3 can handle all the complex items quite well.

    I am still looking at Open Cockpits but worry a bit about possible language barriers. However, those cards seem to have gained lots of popularity so maybe it wont be too hard.

    Hi Eric,

    If you can interface your panel with keys strokes then the Hagstrom is a very good solution. Their service is great. I got a replacement card without costs (overseas) when I had a technical problem with one of the two.

    But if you have to (or want to) interface with offsets it is a bit of 'detour' using the Hagstrom with key generation and then key recognition by FSUIPC... that's why I wrote that real interface systems are better suited for that task.

    Most of the Forums at Opencockpits are in English, they have to because they have sold cards to 63 countries.
