Aerosoft Australia MCP747

[PanosI]

I'm opening a new thread with the progress that i have made so far with the MCP747 and the PSX.

I have already downloaded everything that Brain suggested in older threads and i asked him a question that he didn't see it

the question is here

https://aerowinx.com/board/index.php?msg=75404


Since i didn't had success trying to connect my MCP to my windows 10 laptop via USB, i followed a different route.

After research i bought a USB to serial port converter (DB9M/USB A pug)  and began the installation.

When i finally managed to connect the MCP with windows 10, my joy was indescribable !!!!

But i have a partial success here.

I use the MCP747 software (in the panel check shows that everything is working) but i can't connect the MCP with PSX 

Back in the day if my memory serves me well i use the Project Magenta option tab in the aerosoft software to connect it with PS1.

Now none of the options (FS2004, Project Magenta, PIC 767, LVL-D 767, PMDG737, PMDG747) is working

Any help would kindly appreciated ?

Hi. Are you using AdaptPSX? That's what I use to connect the Aerosoft MCP to PSX.

Thank you for the heads up, Martin.

I didn't know and i was trying to connect with the MCP747 software!

Now i try to connect with the AdaptPSX, i enabled serial output and selected the COM3 in drop down menu but when i push start its connects and instantly stops. The other 3 options (GPS, Engervity CDU and RAW)  are connecting and stay connected.

What am i missing here?

[Martin Baker]

Perhaps someone with more experience can step in here. I'm afraid I don't have mine set up at the moment so I can't check, but I remember trying different options until I found one that worked, and after a bit of initial fiddling it connected reliably. I think the fiddling included trying different USB ports on the PC as well as options within AdaptPSX. Sorry not to have a more scientific memory! M

[PanosI]

Thank you for your time, Martin.

I tried everything in 2 different laptops with no luck. I think it has to do with the fiddling that you mention.

I'll check again the section of the USB controllers in the device manager, later. So frustrating.

After countless tries and almost a year the solution was the adaptpsx.b2.6 version which i located in a folder in Brian's Aerosoft Australia MCP747 complete collection files.

No other version including the current (v 1.1.2) of adaptPSX is working for me.

My MCP747 is working with the PSX for the first time !!!
I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the "Connected-Aerosoft MCP" !!!

I have one available for a EU citizen, it is not working 100%.

Same here - only the old Beta 2.7 is working for me and ONLY on older PC´s. No matter what I do I cant get the newest version working on any PC (old or new) nor any older version on newer PC´s - connects and instantly disconnects..

AdaptPSX is sucessfully installed on a 10 year old i7-4930K which is also running the 4 pedestal/Throttle/CDU´s and P6 CB panel screens interfacing to the MCP747 (with dual efis modules and the single eicas module) and epson thermal T20iii printer.

Thank God, it worked on my new build desktop with Windows 11 (version adaptpsx b2.6).

My joy is indescribable!

I use the MCP747 again after almost 10 years of inactivity.
 
If I could make it work with the rest of my simulators (MSFS 2020, X-Plane 12), I would be the happiest person in the world.

I'm already looking for it with SPAD.neXt and MobiFlight.
