FSUIPC7 and Mobiflight's G1000 Events - MSFS2020

[sep23]

Hello John or Pete,

I am currently trying to utilize a PI Engineering XK-60 keyboard control board (USB key box) with MSFS. It can be configured to send out any keystroke(s) but I wanted to use my registered version FSUIPC7 to configure it. I would really like to be able to send commands to control the Garmin devices and was happy to see that MobiFlight has exposed the variables to do this. I have placed the mobiflight-event-module in the Community folder and I was hoping that FSUIPC7 would be able to "see" these new events and use them as controls within FSUIPC7.

I hope I'm making sense. I am just learning about all the variables available via SimConnect and FSUIPC7. Can you let me know if it is currently possible get FSUIPC7 to use these new variables and thus I could assign keystrokes to trigger those Garmin events. 

Any help or suggestions on how I might accomplish this with FSUIPC7 and Mobiflight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your contribution to the flightsim community.

 

Best Regards,

Scott

You need to add the MF events to FSUIPC using event files (*.evt). Please see these threads:

Thanks John! And just like that, in less than 24 hours, I have it working on my X-Keys keyboard working with MSFS2020 via FSUIPC7. Thank you so much for all your efforts and support of the community. FSUIPC was one of the best purchases I have made for my flight simming. 

Now, I'm gonna have to go learn about the differences between Hvars, Kvars and Lvars. 😀
