Thank you so much for your hard work. I am brand new to flight simulators. I need to start with FSX because I just can't justify the cost of a new computer and the one I have doesn't have enough resources to support X-Plane or 2020. My question to you is if you have any plans to add Leonardo and or Nano boards to Mobiflight . I am asking this because Nano's are about 4 bucks with header pins on Amazon while Mega's and Uno's are 3 or 4 times that. I don't want to sound cheap but I am disabled and an extra 10 is hard to come by. Again, thanks so much.

Hi Sebastian, thnx for this great video. I followed it image by image creating my home cockpit. However I am not able to change the transponder mode in the Fenix a320. When I change the code with the mouse in MSFS, the output from msfs2020 into my lcd display works fine. But vice verse is does not work. When turning the knobs, the caret moves, the digits change on the lcd and can be adjusted. But it does not show in the transponder display in Fenix. So, it doesn't 'come through'. I checked Hubhop for any other output, but nothing found there. Any idea how this can be solved? (Maybe build an artificial keyboard?)

Great video. However, once I change the transponder code completely and return back to change the 1000 again, I am unable to as the inputs are no longer satisfied. Any ideas on how to fix this??

sounds like once you incremented to the 4 digit, when you advance it goes to the 5 instead of 0. Check the formula there.

Can you use an OLED display? If so could you also set the font size and type so it looks like the real deal?

You can do that as a Custom Device which is a new feature of MobiFlight and will be released soon.

Hello, I have a question: Can I use Mobiflight to simply assign keys or key combinations from MSFS without a module? eg. With the A320 from FBW I would like to put the ECAM buttons (DOOR, HYD, ELEC, to. Cofig.) on a button board for my home cockpit. And don't always pan and click with the mouse on the screen. And if yes, how does it work?? Because you can't use the standard MSFS keyboard layout. Thanks in advance!

@MobiFlight 2 жыл бұрын

I am not sure if i understand your question but you can assign all Mobiflight functions also to your joysticks. You can check on hubhop if the input event is already in the database

@pilotenrr 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but also the ECAM functions keys that go "only" to control with the mouse. And I want to put these on a small keyboard like in the cockpit in front of the LOWER Ecam display. Because now it's only possible in the virtual cockpit of the Airbus. Because you can't set them in the BASIC KEYBOARD SETTINGS menu of the SIM. These are missing there.

@MobiFlight 2 жыл бұрын

@@pilotenrr that's why i am suggesting to check on hubhop.mobiflight.com and see if those events are already available there
