    Hi Do you have a new video showing the now presets for Xplane, i'm trying to install a servo and setup the flaps detents but having a nightmare getting it done

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Mike! The X-Plane presets are a bit different (If you want to follow the tutorial use FSUIPC offsets)
      Search for flaps and use "Flaps up a notch" and "Down a notch" for switch
      Use Fla1 def if you want to write to it instead.

    Hello Captain .. can you make a short vid on how to use Multiplexer with MobiFlight & FS2020 ???

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Currently they are not supported, but I believe input shifters are (or at least coming soon).
      I think they might be working on Multiplexers.
      Have a great day Ben-Ad!

      @CaptainBobSim  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello! I don't have a new video as of now, but you can do it directly now instead of using XPUIPC by using datarefs

    How do you pull the custom data refs from a particular aircraft in xplane so that I can program the switches please. I would like to use the Zibo model and program the MCP I have built for the 737. I don’t see a link in your description dropdown list.Thank you

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Since MF doesn't yet have direct XPUIPC linkage, You'll have to code your own custom datarefs.
      There are some links to resources in the description, although there is a fairly steep learning curve.

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @bldsprt518 and @Merlix_2003 xp11 doesn't have as many FSUIPC offsets built into it, but can still map encoders and switches the same way that would be done in MSFS. You can however use custom dataref offsets, I left some links in the description on how to do that.

    Hi Bob
    I'm starting a project with Mobiflight, but I'm having some problems, the Switch on the X-Plane Plane doesn't turn on..
    I used the settings you passed in your video, but without success could you tell me why?
    Grateful

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I cannot tell you why, because there are so many places to get wrong, but when you press run do you see a green checkmark?
      Have you double checked your wiring and ensured the active checkmark is checked?

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      MobiFlight is currently only really arduino based, so very little of this would apply
      You can however use mobiflight to configure actions to your joystick
      Plug your joystick in and the software pretends it's an arduino

      MobiFlight doesn't directly support datarefs/events, but you can use a tool like the DataRefTool for this: github.com/leecbaker/datareftool

    Hey Trevor, Great video I tried following this tutorial but I am experiencing an issue, I put the xpuipc in the plugin folder but mobiflight does recognize x plane but still shows sim connect and fsuipc with an exclamation mark. Please help me Thank You in advance

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Tamil Aviation!
      Did you happen to put the subfolder into the X-Plane folder?
      I show this in more detail here: th-cam.com/video/DH1V4ZeqhZc/w-d-xo.html
      Note, X-Plane must be running for it to be recognized. You may need to restart X-Plane after changes to the plugins folder.

      You can't find one because there isn't :(
      You can connect potentiometers to joystick cards, or arduino leonardos flashed with a joystick sketch.

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Zibo (and other addons) often have custom Datarefs. XPUIPC converts the default datarefs into FSUIPC offsets that mobiflight reads.
      Luckily you can write custom datarefs into XPUIPC: www.mobiflight.com/forum/topic/5648.html This forum topic wrote a lot of the custom offsets, and all you'd have to do would be paste them into your XPUIPCOffsets.cfg file
      You might also consider trying SimVim/HCSCI
