Title: MCP for FS9
Post by: Mach7 on December 13, 2025, 05:35:56 PM
Hello All.

I am currently using a Virtual Avionics MCP for my BAe146 simpit, using a payware Quality wings platform with FS9.

Although this unit works "ok" it is not 100 percent compatible. That is to say a number of items do not function, for example the VS button does not light, you cannot select a Mach mode, therefore you are left in IAS 24/7, and when you press the HDG button, the heading always defaults to zero degrees.

I have dealt with customer support on these issues and they were terrific and freely admitted before I purchased that some of these items would react differently in the FS9 world.

I used to have the goflight pro MCP which worked perfectly, however the appearance did not give that airliner 'feel'.

I am not looking for options to maintain the "look" of the VA MCP with the added functionality of the Go flight.

Any considerations would be welcome.
something better like FSX or P3D. FS9 does me just fine and I have everything setup perfectly using this steam driven program.

I am considering the CH FLight MCP ..does anyone have experience using this with FS9?

Thanks!

Gd Morning
Your Sim remains impressive !!
I used fs9 for years, no issue, never!
I switched to P3D a few years ago and still on V4.0. coupled with an avionics program. Happy camper since then. P3D is very close to FS10

Thank you Jack.

Yes...im a bit timid to upgrade as it took me a long time to get to this point. When i started I had two options, FS9 or FSX. I chose Fs9 for the framerates, and also i needed 8 copies of the program to run my 7 visual computers and one Main computer through WideViewIt. I don't even connect any of my computers up to the internet as I found updates screw one or a number of programs up. My sim is a technological  snapshot in time..lol. I also run everything using Windows XP!...but guess what...it all works and it works flawlessly...except for the aforementioned post. I used to be an Airline Pilot before i retired, so I am used to the real simulators of the day...and i have to tell you the visuals on most of those sime suck as compared to what is out there now for the builder.
