Hi all
Can anyone tell me if the M$ Combat Flight Sim series will run FSUPIC , Wideview etc and allow you access to the data to control gauges etc or a motion platform like what you can do in FS2004 for example .
cheers

Com'on xperts, this is a question I have been wondering about as well. I want to xpand my system to 3 view monitors & a guage monitor on CFS2...is this possible? I'd also like to know if it's possible to have indicator lights activate in addition to the PlasmaV2 I have on order (yeeeehaaa!)?????????

Chuck,

I'd bet if you pop over to Peter Dowson's website (FSUIPC) that you might find that info either in a FAQ or in a thread there. That would be the "horses's mouth" on what FSUIPC can and can't do. I think there is a link off the SimV links page for his pages.

Scorch.... hi and welcome to SimV and the "Homebuild Cockpits" forum.

There are a number of modules available that can light leds and such (output interfaces). The folks that make the Plasma V2 will eventually have one available. There's also the EPIC cards of course. And I believe that Phidgets have outputs too. And one other name that I am not remembering right now (senior moment).

best,

.......john

Hi John
thanks for the reply. The reason i was enquiring about this is because I went to a site that was selling motion platforms that said it would also support the M$ combat flight sims as well as the FS9 series. This got me wondering because I always thought that the software never had these options available.
I also recently heard/read that the latest versions of the IL2 combat software had full accessability to the code that would allow access to run motion platforms , full control/gauges etc just like the FS9 series.

Has anyone else heard/read these issues.
