Havn't tested more than mentioned,but I assume most of overhead is the same yes. PMDG has software out for using the GF MCP Pro,so that piece of harware is covered. GF has some kind of mapping for their EFIS as well. But the rest is still just at an evaluating stage for the new NGX as far as I've been able to understand from some posting on their forum. I only testet the lightings,they don't seem to work ,no..so probably not. Okey,we'll have to eagerly wait for that then. Regards Svein

I'll break it down by the numbers: 1. I mapped lighning via GF own mapping software. 2. But there was no key for rwy turnoff lights there. 3. I then looked into FSUIPC to see if that would help me. 4. Thats why I posted here. 5. You then mentioned key2mouse 6. I looked up the program and made macros for starter switches and rwy turnoff lights 7. I could then program that keystroke on my joysticks. 8. Programming the PMDG 747 through GF software doesn't seem to work. 9. I am now looking to making macros with key2mouse and then assign them to GF T8 via FSUIPC 10. Happy Landings! Aha, now I see! Cheers! Svein

YEs,via the key2mouse program by Luciano Napolitano. I have just had time to briefly test it,but it seem to work well! I just programmed the GF module via the software that comes with it. It works for using it together with PMDG 737,but nothing happens in the PMDG 747. Haven't had time to try mapping via FSUIPC yet. So my question there was really,do you think that will work? I'll have a crack at it by tomorrow anyhow. I am talking about the PMDG 747 FS9 yes. I havn't tested the FSX version yet either. When it comes to building a hole file set,I wasn't really planning to go all the way there. I mainly want to control the lightning,pax sign,starter switches and de-ice. Reason is I want to avoid opening the overhead while inflight on app or climb for practical reasons. Mapping of the entire overhead is for more advanced users,cockpitbuilders. I don't mind using mouse on overhead when doing preflight. I'm only putting together a basic cockpit enviroment. FMC,MCP ,Radio stack and a lightning control module to more easily control those items you use continously during a flight. But sure,when you are ready with it I can see what I can make of it. Regards, Svein

Thanks for fast answer here. I did look through the User Guide and got the picture on how to map certain things. Most of those keys for the medium advanced simmer is possible through FS own mapping actually,but it's those actions that do not have a key which is the problem. I looked at that mouse2key and it seems to be a genious program. I have now mapped starter switches and the rwy turnoff lights.(not that those lights really works in the 737 though,I found out) Apart from that my 737 with the GoFlight modules work now,next challenge seems to be that it doesn't work with the 747. Will the FSUIPC help me with a "workaround" there? I'll experiment on it anyhow. Judging by the numbers of post on the PMDG forum ,mapping for cockpit builders is a problem when using the PMDG models. So hopefully they adress these issues when the new 737 comes around. Regards Svein T.

I'm looking through a newly registered fsuipc and not really seeing what I'm looking for. I was of the impression that with a reg version it would be possible to set and program modules(GoFlight) and joysticks with functions that doesn't have a key in FS internally. Is this not possible? More specific: I want to add a key for rwy turnoff lights in PMDG and map it to my joystick or GoFlight module. I also would like to do the same for the starter switches cont. Is this possible or not? If possible. How? Svein T.
