Does Arduino is mandatory ?

[slim jungle]

Hello,
I've discover MobiFlight, I'm on PC with Steam edition of MSF2020. And I want to know if for user this software on my PC I need to use Arduino extern motherboard to map buttons of my joytick or buttons from my Cougar MFD (USB as input device under Windows)
Best regards

Most HID joysticks recognized by Windows, will work with Mobiflight. You should see the list of available devices in the input config drop down menus.

Ok nice news 🙂 Another question related to MSF : does it possible to use Mobiflight to assign GNS430/540 button to my HID joystick ?

I've the response 🙂

[buoyant inlet]

for example this is how the device list is detected for my Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 joystick appears.

variables "AS530_*"

[buoyant inlet]

short answer is yes. If the buttons are recognized by Mobiflight, any event in the simulator can be triggered.

You are not limited by what is currently in the presets list

[slim jungle]

Thank you for your help 🙂

[buoyant inlet]

you can enter custom code into the input or output code boxes

Really ? Because I've PMS50 computer

[buoyant inlet]

not sure what a PMS50 computer is but if it runs under MSFS2020 events and we don't have a preset already defined, you can enter the code directly into the code box and have Mobiflght send that code.

of course, if we don't have the preset, we would greatly appreciate your contribution to the code database.

that is the GTN750 gauge for MSFS

as far as I know

not sure if we have events for that, but those are possible to dig out if not yet

thats how all the current presets came to be too

If you've premium version all events are usable 😉
