How to write XPUIPC offsets:
XPUIPC basically uses most of the default, generic datarefs and converts them into FSUIPC compatible offsets. You can use a tool like “The DataRef Tool” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAyGbDWhlaw&t=2s and find which datarefs are changing to “hunt them down”. In your XPUIPC folder …
How to Use MobiFlight with a Joystick
MobiFlight is a powerful Arduino-based tool. But what if you don’t have an Arduino? Can MobiFlight still be used? YES!! MobiFlight also supports joysticks (which we’ll talk about now) and Arcaze modules (which are basically obsolete) Start off by plugging …
Circuit Breaker Diagram:
The wiring of the Circuit breaker can be quite difficult! Here is my current wiring: It is not perfect, but it works alright – for now.
How to Configure a Potentiometer using FSUIPC and MobiFlight
I made this video on how to connect a potentiometer to MSFS (ONLY) I had no idea you could connect it directly to X-Plane using the @ placeholder and some fancy formulas! A super smart and curious viewer, Steve Pavey …

How the Switches Make Contact
I made an error in the crash course about switch connections. Most small switches connect contacts opposite from their position (if the switch is up, the bottom two contacts “connect”) This wiring diagram explains this visually here: https://i.pinimg.com/600×315/3e/4b/53/3e4b5366f76d836fc4e72c9e9081ffc0.jpg A viewer …

Paths to MobiFlight Installation (MCC Ep. 2)
Shortcut Folder I recommend using a flight sim folder under the C drive. I have a folder for every flight sim program – to keep everything neat, tidy and in one place. Paths: If you have steam, here’s where to …
Potentiometers with Flight Sim
Can MobiFlight handle Potentiometers? Yes: There’s a GitHub Wiki that shows how to set this up. Man this blog post was easy! Fine. I’ll elaborate. MobiFlight used to not support analog potentiometers, a lot of the developers really feel they …
Analog Pins in MobiFlight
MobiFlight Arduino Megas typically used to only have 52 pins. These are pins 2-53 (excluding 0 and 1, which are unusable). With the fairly recent Release 7.8.0, now analog pins are supported for use with digital electronics. This allows users …
