efis panel

[tgreener]

Hi i have a goflight mcp pro and would like to build my own efis panel to go with it,

im new to fsuipc4 and have a newby question,

can i use fsuipc4 to assign the switches for a efis panel in the default fsx 737

i had a look in the lists but cant find efis anywhere, im probably missing something,

lots of AP but no EFIS

any help is appreciated

thanks

Tim

If you mean the EFIS control panel with the range and mode knobs etc, the only part of that which is implemented in FS itself (rather than local to gauges) is the BARO setting for the altimeter. You will find that referred to as "Kohlsman" after the German company (actually "Kollsman") which invented the first altimeters with that facility.

All the other facilities are related to display modes and settings for the ND and, a little, the PFD. They are specific to the particular gauges and have no offsets nor controls associated with them. Depending on the panel you want to use you may be able to assign keypresses for them, but for FS default panels I think you are stuck with Mouse clicks. For those you'd have to use Luciano Naplitano's "Key2Mouse" program.

any help is appreciated

Alternative panel programs such as Project Magenta do provide support for their gauges via FSUIPC offsets. Maybe some of the add-on aircraft do too.
