rockliffe Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have just received the CPflight MCP & EFIS. It was ordered last Thursday from Italy, and it arrived today, the following Monday! A superb piece of kit. I can't wait to get it up and running. Here's a quick unboxing video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F737MAX Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 You're going to love it. I've had their 737 Honeywell MCP and EFIS for nearly 8 years going back to using it in FS2004. The hardware has never put a foot wrong, all the switches, dials and displays work like they did as new. The software is (usually) a simple install into the main P3D folder. To be fair to CPFlight, I've only ever had problems when Win 10 has stopped a COM port from being opened after an update and the one time there was a delay in getting a 64-bit version of their drivers for P3D v4.(You may need to amend a setting in a CPFlight .ini file for PMDG aircraft to recognise the kit).

piotrmorawski85 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thank you for sharing this, because this is the first time that I've actually seen this company, and their products. The reviews on all of them are very good, so probably my Wife is going to be pretty mad soon... (again ;)) I'm hoping to get the FCU A320. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Peter That's exactly the reason why I posted it Peter. There are many well known producers such as CPflight, but we should never forget many of us are unaware of their existence unless they are brought to our attention.

But I'm pleased you enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mac Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Nice video and excellent kit. Used their stuff before and the build quality is really good. Also if you encounter a problem they are very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend them. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
