Hello anyone is using the Winwing MCDU to replicate the FMC?
I have programmed all the buttons but the display is not work.
#Zibo 737 and Winwing MCDU

My pull request has very recently been merged into MobiFlight so you should soon have CDU support in the Zibo and LevelUp aircraft in an upcoming MobiFlight release

Have you try this profile
I used it before I received Wingwin PFP3. Now I don’t need it anymore.

Thanks. Let’s see.

I'm using the WW Simappro driver for ZIBO, works fine. Why would u use MF?

Some already use MobiFlight for other reasons so it makes sense to continue using it rather than having several different apps required.
The scripts also use X-Plane's WebSocket server which is better for performance and responsiveness, whereas SimAppPro polls for updates.

Thx for your reply. Might try it as well.😊

Let me know if you experience any issues
You should do a side by side comparison too. My PC is pretty beefy (13900KF with 5090) and I experienced delays with SimAppPro around every several minutes where pages would take up to 10 seconds to load.
I looked around in the Discord here and found others that were working on some Python scripts. I picked one, rewrote the script to optimize performance and in some cases (ToLiss, as an example) the physical device loads even faster than the aircraft now
The beauty of websockets (and why I say it's more performance friendly) is because you don't need to poll for updates.
If you and I are doing a job together, polling would be me asking you every 2 seconds if you've finished yet so I can do something else. WebSockets would be you telling me when you've finished, then I can do that other thing
The downside is that X-Plane 11 doesn't support websockets or the HTTP API, so there's no support there as of yet with these scripts.

Thx, never too old to learn. I have some delay also from time to time. Correct me if i'm wrong. This script is only for the CDU not the MCP because i have both.
autumn nebula
That's correct. With the CDU and MCP being separate devices, the scripts are solely responsible for transmitting CDU screen data from X-Plane to MobiFlight, since the CDU display is one unit. Whereas the MCP will have many displays connected which can be individually controlled, you can map these in MobiFlight directly since the relationship between an MCP display and in-game is one-to-one

For PFP3 I use simapp while MCDU si not working with simapp.

Where can I get these scripts?
autumn nebula
They'll be included with MobiFlight in an upcoming release. They're already in the main repository now
autumn nebula
MobiFlight added a new release as of 23 minutes ago. Give it a try 😉
It may take some time to appear in the MobiFlight app itself as an update but it's available on GitHub
clear nimbus
I finally had the time to check the new release with zibo and I have to sey it works correctly even if time to time the resonse time is very very slow.

What CPU do you have?
clear nimbus
Intel i7-11800H 2,30GHz

Unfortunately, I think you'll experience the delays and such as your CPU isn't that powerful. Investigations so far look like this being an X-Plane issue with core utilisation and the Zibo 737 is more CPU intensive than aircraft like ToLiss
