How to hookup MCP Pro and EFIS?

Manny

I have the MCP Pro and the EFIS.  How do I join the two? Are there
screws and stuff to hook both of them?  How do I  anchor these two
gauges to anything?

Are there hookup kits I can get for these? Not sure if anything came with them when I bought them

Any ideas about how I can anchor them to a panel or something?

I
notice there are four screws to each of these gauges.. If I remove
them, would the gauge fall apart or is it used for anchoring the gauge
with something like a front panel?

got to the manual part of the forum and read efis instructions. All manuals are at the top of that page

thanks

Hope youv'e got your two modules joined! ... But has anyone found any use at all for the EFIS module under FSX default aircraft (eg B737-800)?

spec is 440x1/4" socket head cap screw  they should be in the bag of hardware that came with your pro along with alen wrenches. If not call GF and they'll mail ya some

Manny

OK..I read the EFIS manual. and I see how to join the two. But I think I need two more screws that I don't have.

The screw specs are two 44 X ¼” screws

As to how to interpret that I looked here but its not the standard?

How do I interpret  two 44 X ¼” screws. Hopefully I can get this at Lowes.

Muchos Gracias!

Yes :))

I have it working with all the default aircraft that sport an EFIS on their panels :))

I confess that it is not absolutely fully identical to the workings of an EFIS ~~~ but ~~~ it IS working.....
Operating through FSUIPC.

You are welcome to try my settings for yourself ~~~~

Assuming that you have a registered version of FSUIPC - go to your FSX\Modules folder, select the fsuipc.ini file and open with Notepad.
Copy and paste the text (below) and SAVE the file (you might want to make a copy of your existing ini-file).

Open FSX, start the default 737 and you should be away.........thought: you may need to edit the line inside the [ ] marks to ensure they are EXACTLY the same as the line in the aircraft.cfg file for the paint version you are using. For example I use [Buttons.737-800 Easyjet] with the freeware texture add-on for the default 737-800. Similarly the top line may need editing for the A321 paint you are using.

If anybody else uses this information and discovers an improvement that can be made - please let me know :)
Always willing to learn...........

Bonjour Ken H,

Interesting ... "EASYJET"?? are we using the default FSX B737-800?? ... and if so, before I try my luck with your FSIUPC stuff, what (even limited) functions suddenly become available with the EFIS??? ... I really would like to use this module.
