Since im a total novice: in the install guide it tells me to install packages via command line. Do i just insert the give lines in python? Because for it it gives "syntaxerror: unexpected character after line continuation character" what does that even mean

Would you mind posting a link to the install guide you're following?

That your message means that the python interpreter couldn't understand the code it was provided, usually a syntax error.

Please screenshot. And please post a screenshot when you run "pip freeze" in commandline.

#

Wait guess without the c:?

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:28 PM

#

yes only the part after c:>

#

ok should clarify that

#

pip install websockets gql simconnect

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

Yeah thats the details stupid me needs to know 😜

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

that's good feedback, you will not be the only one to struggle

#

currently there is an issue with the boeing pfp. One line is missing. With airbus mcdu everything should work. Doing a fix soon.

#

But still can try and test it

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

Output from freeze

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

yes that looks fine now. Try again now

#

which plane are you trying?

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:34 PM

#

Not yet completely desirable output i guess

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

Which plane?
And are you on newest mcdu firmware in SimAppPro?

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:39 PM

#

Does mobiflight have a profile already loaded? Its fenix a320 and yes

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

And SimAppPro is not allowed in parallel. Try to quit SimAppPro (if not yet). Unplug mcdu from usb. Replug, restart mobiflight and please try again.

#

I'll try in parallel. Came home from fsweekend and need to test the beta now as well.

#

Ah and it does not work with custom fonts, at the moment only with standard font

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:43 PM

#

Doesnt really work got 2 one fo and 1 captain now only Captain side works and fo side only shows mobiflight

#

Bit captain side is still jiberish

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

Did you load another font in simapppro?

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

No got the WTT_MCDU font

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

And also do a test with disconnected FO. Nobody tested 2 mcdu at the same time so far.

#

Your help is really helpful to find some remaining issues.

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

Okay applied font again and only captain now it shows good on captain side

#

Will try with both now

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

You just pressed "Apply" here?

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

Yes

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

Ok. And did you try other fonts so far or not?

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

Yeah its not working with both now both show jibberish

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

wheat nymph Ok. And did you try other fonts so far or not?

No changes to font made ever

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

ok. So we have an issue if 2 mcdu are connected.

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

#

#

#

One works regardless if captain or FO but not both

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

Thanks for the help. For now I will make some tests with 1 mcdu and 1 pfp. And I'll borrow another mcdu in a couple of days to look into it.

#

And probably I will update the wiki page with known issues

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

wheat nymph Thanks for the help. For now I will make some tests with 1 mcdu and 1 pfp. And I...

Okay thx any way to disable the mcdu upload or do i need to downgrade mobiflight until thats fixed?

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

you only can disable 1 cdu completely in settings - peripherals

#

so no input and output

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

I mean i would use simapp until thats fixed to keep both working

#

So just disable them both in mobiflight?

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

yep

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

Okay thx worked cant wait for the update mobiflight

ember snow Mar 17, 2025, 3:08 PM

#

Does make me feel better knowing that i dont have to rely on winwing to update their software to use the various CDU on different planes

#

All thanks to the great work of @wheat nymph and the community

wheat nymph Mar 17, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

@ember snow I found the issue. Preparing a fix.

wheat nymph Mar 18, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

ember snow Okay thx worked cant wait for the update <:mobiflight:1027520369080414250>

Please try new beta.

ember snow Mar 18, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

wheat nymph Please try new beta.

Will do later

ember snow Mar 18, 2025, 1:37 PM

#

wheat nymph Please try new beta.

Working for both captain and FO MCDUs however its not lined up well atm not sure if thats something on mobiflights end or if u gotta adjust it with the simapp

wheat nymph Mar 18, 2025, 1:54 PM

#

ember snow Working for both captain and FO MCDUs however its not lined up well atm not sure...

Important is after usage of simapprpo to disconnect and reconnect to usb, because simappro does make changes to layout and font.

#

So after connecting to usb only start Mobiflight. Maybe then it is better.

ember snow Mar 18, 2025, 1:55 PM

#

Okay yeah that fixed it thx
