Aerosoft 747 MCP 64bit compatible?

[kand]

Thanks kand for such a prompt response. I have downloaded the folder but can only open the two firmware files, the uninstall file and the pdf manuals. There are other files in there but windows doesn't know what software to open them with. I will try to get them open somehow. Could you
advise if I'm going in te right direction with this as I'm quite a novice!! Sorry to be so needy!!

Copy them to somewhere convenient, then connect the mcp up and go to device manager. When in there find the MCP and point the driver install to the folder, you will need to install the comm port also. Been years since I owned one so memory is a bit vague

Still struggling unfortunately. Have tried the "update driver" option via device manager but nothing found when pointing it to the MCP747 folder. Have tried opening the MCP747 icon in the folder that Rolf sent and it states that the path to the MCP software is incorrect. Any ideas anyone?

only thing i can suggest is teamviewer as its difficult to visualise/diagnose

Kands describe is correct.
My Installation of the MCP was in 2011 and because it was a little difficult I made a notice, I try to translate it in short form:
Run MCP-setup 22a , the folder MCP Australia will be built in C.
Now connect the MCP
It appears "new hardware found", if not open the device manager -update driver - manual directory USB64, now Driver will install.

Open Device-manager, look under interface? (COM&LPT)- now under USB-serial PortMCP-747 you can see the new COM-port
Open MCP747 (Desktop)
open File/Preferences - put in the new built com-port
Now all data should be visible in the lowest line of the MCP control,
replace the newest MCP.exe from 17.6 in the folder MCP Australia, insert the Level D.dll in the same folder

I hope it can help you.
regards
Rolf

Ok Thanks Kand. I'm not familiar with teamviewer but happy to try anything if possible!

Rolf, When I open the Firmware 22 I am prompted that the serial number could not be detected and given the option to enter it manually, however, I do not know the serial number. Also if it helps, under the device manager I cannot see MCP747 but I do see IPMI interface and PCI serial port which both have yellow exclamation marks against them. I'm pretty sure that these two icons have only appeared after plugging in the MCP

Please dot open the Firmware-File but the MCP747exe.

Hi Rolf

In the folder that you sent to me their is one file called MCP747. When I open it I get the message, "The path to the installation of your MCP software is incorrect. Please set the path to your MCP folder from the menu. Switch and Joystick information is contained in this folder as well as your set-up files."

Hopefully this may make more sense to you than it does to me.

Thank you for your patience!!!

Hi Keith
I send you 2 other files with MCP.setup 22a and 26a, try one of them. When successfully, replace the mcp.exe with the newest.
Regards
Rolf

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay! Here is the latest update.

Thanks Rolf1 for the files.

I have now got the MCP buttons and lights working fine with panel check. I can also select PMDG 737 and the values change in sync with the MCP but when I load FSX with PMDG 737 nothing changes in FSX. I go into controls and cannot see the MCP in the drop down box. I have also tried assigning the buttons through FSUIPC but nothing happens on the screen when I press buttons on the MCP.

Frustrating knowing that I must be so close to being able to use it!!

Sorry your our out of luck here, it's not compatible with PMDG stuff, last PMDG was 744 queen of the skies but you need to buy the Fs Labs driver
