Hi Everybody,
From the North East of England I am in the process of building a 737 cockpit, albeit not to the standards I've seen!
My set up is
Hardware
Windows 7 with i7 processor with GeForce 570MDT card
3 wrap around screens, a DVI screen (displaying flight instruments) plus a USB screen (dispalying EFB)
VR Insight EFIS/MCP Boeing Panel
Goflight GFTQ6 Throttle
Saitek Proflight Rudder
Saitek Proflight Yoke plus Throttle Quadrant (used for Landing Gear & Engines cut off / idle)
Home made (not by me) overhead panel with USB Cards for switches and LED's
Software
FSX
ifly 737NG
Radar Contact
Electronic Flight Bag
FSUIPC
At the moment I have all the switches working as they should, but now I'm struggling trying to incorporate LED's into the overhead panel.
I have a Phidget LED card and installed FS2phidget5 but am struggling
I guess the first problem may be -
I'm following the manual and whilst the FSX box is green the FSUIPC box is blank
In addition I can't get the screen shown on page 15 in the Manual - assigning FS Variables to components
Any help or a point in the right direction would be really appreciated
Many thanks
Jeff
