Pre-order Period Extended + Exterior Update Video

[MinsooPark]

Hello everyone,

A brief update on the project.

The pre-order period has now been extended until April 19.

Importantly, this extension does not affect the original production schedule for those who placed their orders during the initial pre-order window.
Those units will still begin production as originally planned, without delay.

I also wanted to share that I've continued refining the exterior and working through additional detail improvements.
Along with the updated front view, I'm attaching photos that better show the overall volume and physical presence of the unit, not just the front panel alone.

Thank you again for the continued interest and support.

Sincerely,
Minsoo Park

Hello All,

What do you think about this MCP and the deal total 399usd?

Hello All,

What do you think about this MCP and the deal total 399usd?

It's a great deal....the price point is the best I've seen for a new and also second hand 747 specific MCP's. You would spend more money on hardware bits to build your own....I speak from experience.

My unit has arrived for some time now.

The installation was truly plug & play and it worked straight out of the box.
Design and manufacturing quality is solid and feels authentic (knobs, switches, lights).
The interface software is geared for PSX and PMDG users (connects automatically with click box).

The MCP interacts via the software without any lag. So all is optimal - very happy.

Now eagerly awaiting the promised add-on hardware panels coming soon.

That is really helpful. I wonder if anyone else here has ordered one?

Yes, I ordered one but it's yet to arrive. M

[JG]

Gents, yes I ordered one, even though I have a number of successful MCP solutions in play. Minsoo has been in touch with progress videos and at last contact I sent some feedback about differing 7 segment LED display colour temperatures along with a source suggestion where to buy the needed displays with the same colour characteristics and the offer to pay extra to have that sorted. I haven't heard back how that went, however, the supplier is in the US....so I wasn't expecting a quick turn around. I'm sure the product will be all I  expect to be when I eventually receive it. Cheers, J.G.

[JG]

Anyone know what has happened to Minsoo, seems to be missing with no email response? Swiss Mark are you still in touch? Many thanks for any info, J.G.
All just heard from Minsoo via email.......

[Ton van Bochove]

I ordered too....but after the order confirmation no response on email questions. Underestimating the importance of communication?

[JG]

Ton, If I may offer this. Minsoo has been communicating with me so I think all is well and it is likely he is somewhat overwhelmed by the task of building so many MCP's at once. It took me 3 months of solid effort to build one that would likely lack the detail of Minsoo's task at hand since my intention was not creating an item for sale. Cheers J.G.

[Ton van Bochove]

JG, Thank you for your information! I wait for his email

[SwissMark]

Received mine and put it to hard use (much to my full enjoyment and satisfaction).
There is a WhatsApp contact on his website which also works well, and I did recommend a Discord server to Minsoo last week.
Comes in handy for discussions, updates and links to download for the latest MS router he codes for the MCP.

I just got a tracking number for my MCP, so things are moving.

Mats, when did you order?

[JG]

Encouraging to see more order movement in the works. May I reiterate the opinion that Minsoo's pricing is an absolute gift and I feel that patience is in order, for clearly the man isn't making a living from his work here and must fit extra curricular activity like this into free time around the need to support his usual life. Be great if anyone else who has received their MCP could post here so that other PSX users can get a feel for if they would like to order and support Minsoo in producing rare 744 hardware.
Cheers all J.G.

Mats, when did you order?

March 26, but it was a pre-order and I have told Minsoo that I'm not in any hurry to get the MCP. In fact, part of me dreads its arrival, for I have no idea where to put it.

[Ton van Bochove]

It takes a couple of month than. Leave it in the box for a while as a spare part :-)
