Fantastic. Thank you John. That's great info to get me started especially remaining focused on presets which at least I have a marginal understanding of. Also a good steer regarding how to find the control codes in MSFS and the FSUIPC event logging. Hope you can get hold of the B727 since I suspect I won't be the only one in this bind...(if you'll excuse the pun haha). Thanks again Cheers Terry

As the title says I'm still fumbling around in the dark looking for the light switch. In the meantime I've managed understand from the documentation and various forum discussions how to apply presets to the PMDG B737-700. It does not appear as though the community has created any presets for the FSS-B727-200 as of yet, (I need to get the three fuel cut-off levers working). I figure these fuel cut-off levers should be easy to start with but I probably need someone to suggest to me where I should focus my learning to get to this point? As I have moved around this dark room looking for the light switch, I have come across LVAR's, SIMVARS, Lua scripts and SDK's, and I assume knowledge of all or some of these will presumably be required to create these presets or make these switches work in some other way. I have read the whole FSUIPC advanced users document and while I can see how useful the commands are, I guess I'm not really sure what I am supposed to do with them...(write a Lua Script presumably?). As you can see, I'm floundering, so if someone could shine a torchlight on the important bit I should focus on that would be really helpful. Thanks in advance. Cheers Terry

Wow, didn't expect the boss to answer! Thank you very much John. 👍 I assume PFC is primary flight controls and relates to rudder pedals, yoke, throttle quadrants. It does seem the information I had was rather old and that FSUIPC does indeed have a great deal more capacity than I first imagined. And yes, on the basis that many are using FSUIPC with LB cards, then I will definitely download the trial version. If I have issues making it work, at least I'll know it will be my problem, not the software/board combo! Thanks again John Cheers Terry Auckland, New Zealand

Hi Guys, Fist let me say I am not a current user of FSUIPC7 since I have never done anything or needed anything to purchase it. (Played with free copy many many years ago). But now I want to build a home cockpit and while there other options, I note the FSUIPC still seems to have the best support on the block. And that's is super important in any project like this. But before I launch into this software I have noted some limitations with regard to the number of inputs it can handle although that was old info I understand this has been increased in Ver 7? So what can anyone tell me about the capability of FSUIPC to manage say 64 input Leo Bodner boards and what limits are presented? That is to say, how many board interfaces can be supported. Is it Windows 11 that can only handle a certain number or is it the number of interfaces that MSFS (PMDG 737) can handle or is there a limit to what FSUIPC can handle that make a 64 bit input Leo Bodner not viable? Can FSUIPC7 even read/write to Leo Bodner boards? As you can see, I am new to this (so go easy on me) and I am not dead set on anything. I'm just trying to get my head around these limits before I open my wallet and base the whole project on a software/hardware combo, that I feel will comfortably get me across the finish line. Appreciate any advice offered. Regards Terry
