GoFlight - PSX Bridge

[posherid]

As my Aerosoft MCP seems to be totally dead now (I tried to change the power supply but no luck) and as I have quite a few Goflight devices, I started to write a GoFlight-PSX bridge (much like the previous Jeroen's bridge for PS1). So far, it starts to look good and I can handle the GF45, GF46, GF166, GFRP48, GFP8, GFT8, GFLGT, GFLGT2, GFATC units.

As the goflight library is rather old, I had to use VB6 and some old DLL need to be installed in Windows 7 to make it work (much like for the Radar Contact program).

My config looks like this :

Buttons   Unit   B1;B2;B3;   B4;B5;B6;   B7;B8;R1;R2;R3;R4
P8   7   ApDisc;McpAtArm;McpFdCp;McpPshCmdL;...
               5   Battery;ApuStart;ApuGen1;ApuGen2;HydDem1;...
               4   FuelMain1Fwd;FuelMain2Fwd;FuelMain3Fwd;...
               3   FuelMain1Aft;FuelMain2Aft;FuelMain3Aft;...
               2   FuelXfeed1;FuelXfeed2;FuelXfeed3;FuelXfeed4;...
               1   EngStartSw1;EngStartSw2;EngStartSw3;EngStartSw4...
               6   MastWarnCp;Seatbelts;NoSmoking;...
GFT8   1   LtLogo;LtNav;LtOvhd;LtRwyTurnL;LtRwyTurnR;LtW...
GFRP48   1   McpPshHdgSel;McpPshHdgHld;McpPshSpdSel;...
   ...McpTurnHdg;McpTurnSpd;McpTurnAlt;McpTurnVs
GF45   2   Xpndr;Xpndr                     (Higher);(Lower)      
GFATC   1   Autobr
GF166   1   RotSelRcpL;RotSelRcpL      
GFLGT2   1   GearLever   FlapLever

If some people are interested and want to help me with the testing, feel free to contact me.

hi, i just saw this post, i really do want to test this addon if you are still working on it, i got the complete Airliner stack from GF and the only thing stopping me from enjoying PSX is the lack of hardware button that works on PSX.

Hi folks,

Just seeing this topic too... and obviously would be very interested into testing your software, as I have many many GoFlight consoles!

I also have a goflight MCP and would not mind giving your interface a go!
I will eventually build a 747 MCP and use O/C master cards to interface it via PSXseecon, but GF is already built

Hi Patrick,
Just wondering if you have any more info on your project. I have the GF MCP Pro and would like to be able to use it with PSX... Until I finish my scratchbuilt MCP..

Cheers,
