RayBryer Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Can you kindly tell me what Drivers I need to buy/download to enable my equipment (as detailed below) to work with: PMDG 747-400X. It appears that I need to install FSX Service Pack 1 and probably 2? Once before installed FSX Service Pack 1. Subsequently, The C2 Professional and Avionics were unable to control the PMDG 747-400X. My Equipment: Precision Flight Controls... C2 Professional Flight Console with Digital Avionics Stack Precision Flight Controls...told me I have to contact you, in this regard? Thank you Ray Bryer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Can you kindly tell me what Drivers I need to buy/download to enable my equipment (as detailed below) to work with: PMDG 747-400X. It appears that I need to install FSX Service Pack 1 and probably 2? Sorry, I have no idea which version of FSX the PMDG aircraft requires. That is a question for PMDG. Once before installed FSX Service Pack 1. Subsequently, The C2 Professional and Avionics were unable to control the PMDG 747-400X. The flight controls should work okay. The autopilot implemented by PMDG is their own and I don't know of any hardware which will drive it directly, though I think they had some contract arrangement with GoFlight. PMDG have never released any form of SDK to allow others to interface to their products -- at least not without some hefty fee up front. You would need to pester PFC if you think they ought to be paying PMDG a load of dosh for you. At best you might find keystrokes are assignable to some of the PMDG functions, but then you would need to purchase a Registration for FSUIPC4 and program all of the relevant PFC avionics buttons and dials to send keystrokes to PMDG. Not very pretty I'm afraid, but I nkow some folks have done such things. Precision Flight Controls...told me I have to contact you, in this regard? Well, I do the freeware PFCFSX.DLL which interfaces their hardware to FSUIPC4.DLL You need to install the latter first, then the former. I wrote the PFC stuff for my own use but PFC liked it more than their own so use it instead. I think their consoles are very nice indeed, but no hardware is really suited to any of the PMDG models as they really designed it all to be driven on-screen, with the mouse. I think they never have considered cockpit builders a useful market for them. I do use PMDG flight models myself, but with no panels -- all of my instrumentation, including the autopilot, is from Project Magenta, which is handled all through FSUIPC4 so it is easy to integrate with PFC goods.
