CP FLIGHT - B747 MODE CONTROL PANEL MCP747

BOEING 747 MODE CONTROL PANEL WITH EICAS SELECTOR

MCP747 is a full scale replica of Boeing 747 MODE CONTROL PANEL. The module is complete and ready to use and interface with Microsoft Flight Simulator and Project Magenta. The MCP747 is connected to the PC through USB cable (provided). The MCP747 can be directly powered by the USB (USB 2.0 with 500mA current capability or an HUB with its own power is recommended). Trough the USB it is possible to supply the MCP and two EFIS selectors; a DC plug allows to connect an optional power supply to supply further expansion modules. USB driver and test program software can be free downloaded at CPflight web site download page.

MCP747 interfaces with Microsoft Flight Simulator through Project Magenta MCP software, CPflight driver for default FS aircraft and LVLD767, FlightSimLabs driver (payware) for PMDG series. Is also compatible with SimAvionics, Flight Deck Software and Xplane. The MCP747 hardware establish an interface with all compatible software; logics, operating modes and aircraft behavior are managed by software.
MCP747 is equipped with high quality level components. One million cycle rated encoder, autothrottle ARM switch, 2 FD switches and bank selector knob with FlyEngravity custom solutions for frontplate and pushbuttons give a high fidelity performances and a never seen realism. MCP747 have white digit display and warm white backlight.
MCP747 comes provided with wide expansion capability through the DIN 5 pole auxiliary socket. This allows you to connect and interface CPflight plug&play expansion modules (like EFIS selector and other future modules). You may add modules at anytime; the MCP forms the center for data exchange between modules and flight simulator. Each module is provided with 5 pole cable and is ready to be used without need any software configuration. EICAS selector is already included in the MCP747 (only software wit EICAS functions are supported). No need to configure or power the EICAS in any way.

The MCP747 panel is equipped with: 13 backlighted pushbuttons; 1 round pushbutton to select IAS/MACH Auto Throttle ARM switch; two Flight Director switches; Vertical Speed thumb wheel and flat disengage lever. All selected values are shown through white 7 segments white LED displays. The flash memory technology of 16 bit microcontroller gives you a simple way to upgrade the built-in operating program (Firmware). This feature is useful for update your MCP with improvement and future expansion. The EICAS panel is equipped with: 8 pushbuttons for ENG, STAT, ELEC, FUEL, ECS, HYD, DRS, and GEAR; 2 round pushbutton to select CANC and RCL

The front panel MCP747 + EICAS selector (dimensions 500 mm width and 73 mm height) is backlighted. The backlight does not require any external addition, everything is built-in the MCP and the control is directly given by Flight Simulator instrument light status or connecting an external switch to the related input ( refer to the MCP747 manual; External backlight control section ).

PROGRAM MODE

The MCP747 firmware provide an intenal program mode to configure the main preferences in the hardware functionality. No need PC software program to configure the MCP747 hardware. In program mode you can set how to control the BACKLIGHT (internal or external) the DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS and some other functions. Refer to MCP747 manual for more info.

AUXILIARY CONNECTIONS

The MCP747 dispose the auxiliary input to connect switches/pushbuttons for external TO/GA and external backlight control. Refer to MCP747 manual for more info.
