Pete, I could see no change in the console/assignments with "Logging = True". Do you want to look at anything in the logs? Though, I agree yes the FDS Drivers must be very specific to this device. We tried!

I meant that I had success with the editing and starting of the HidDemo.lua script. As I said I'm new to Lua. Unfortunately no success with our goal of seeing anything picked up by FSUIPC7 from the hardware. Yes I tried the MCP switches and encoders during that session. My bad. I should have updated you to let you know the second 'EFIS' device had been physically disconnected before that log file was generated. For the purpose of that session, I was working with only the MCP connected. Prior to the session (again the EFIS was not connected/involved) the VID and PID of the MCP were checked and confirmed in HidScanner. Ok Pete thanks, that gives me a couple of things to work on. Appreciate the support, I will get back to you if anything looks promising. Des

Pete. Thanks, got success with running HidDemo.lua. Here is a copy of the subsequent HidDemo.log. FS2020 is running in this instance as is FSUIPC7. FSUIPC as yet does not see any switch changes or encoder turns yet in 'assignments' but hopefully this log will let you see If we have any chance here. HidDemo.log

Wasn't looking hard enough chaps! Thanks found it. At the first look of my FSUIPC7.ini I found this final line, before I edited anything: [LuaFiles] 1=HidDemo I guess this should be?- [Auto] 1=HidDemo Des

Cheers John, will take a look.👍

Hi Pete. New to this, sorry. I had a look in my \Documents\FSUIPC7 help pdf's but I can't see the way to arrange to start my modified HiDemo.lua, (assign a key?) other than place it in the install folder. Could you point me in the right doc/direction? Apologies for the basics needed here, Many thanks!

Thanks both! And.. Thanks for the Key John, FSUIPC looks a very powerful program for control options. Impressive. As a check, it does see my joystick presses from my Hotas but it does not see any encoders turning or switch presses from the MCP. Pete, yes I agree, I think this will be far more involved but It was worth a go to see if I could pick up those encoders/switches inside FSUIPC. When I previously used the MCP with full function (FSX/P3D), it did need FDS specific aircraft drivers/controllers. I may take this to FDS but it's an older piece of hardware and as you say they may have drivers in the future. They do have alot of projects on the go. Was worth a try! Many thanks Pete and John.

Thanks John for the quick response! I'm no expert but the MCP, when plugged into a USB slot, adds 2 'USB input devices' lines to the 'Human Interfaces Devices' list in Device Manager. So i think it's non-Joystick? The second device may be the hardwired attached EFIS panel. However, I'm happy to try FSUIPC and/or Lua, though if it doesn't work it's no big deal😀

Hi Folks. I'm probably reaching a bit here but does anyone know if (I purchase a full FSUIPC7 key) that it has any chance of 'talking' to a JetMax MCP made by Flight Deck Solutions? I just want to try and capture in a few rotary encoders and momentary switches from it, not full functionality as obviously we don't yet have a MSFS-2020 737. I know a full working MCP set up in FSX/P3D needed some of its own FDS controllers to run and I'm not sure if FSUIPC was involved.
