An FSX/P3D/FSUIPC interface would be fantastic. I get the impression that the developer is no longer updating it, which is a real shame. I've been using Helios with DCS World for a while and it really is a wonderful app. I would expect switches to work using keystrokes, but I don't do this, as I find it's better just to use (or create) P3D 2D panels for this.

There is no Helios interface for P3D (unfortunately), so Helios P3D gauges are currently a no-no (please someone correct me if I'm wrong). For this sort of usage it works perfectly without any interference or discernible loss of frame rate. With my poor memory and different configs for many different planes this can be very useful. I also have overlays that I can bring up to remind me what my Cougar joystick / saitek throttle buttons I have assigned to do what. Helios is very useful to me for producing overlays (text labels) which I can turn on and off using joystick buttons to remind me what all the buttons do. I have a second monitor with Thrustmaster MFDs stuck over them. So to work that, you could make a compound function that first sends a TDC priority command to the display you want, followed by the button keystroke.I use Helios with P3D, but in a very limited way.

a shortcut to ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) is included in the Windows.

You can't control all displays simultaneously, so the way we work it is that the display with TDC priority is the one that receives the keystrokes. The NetSuite ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you. So as long as you're willing to spend the time mapping the keystrokes to the JS, it'll work fine. Well for FSX you can remap any of the custom functions to any key, but not to JS buttons directly. So I was hoping that the VRS bug coming out soon will allow us to map the MFD buttons to joystick buttons. Again not the case, as FSX doesn't have a OSB button 1 or OSB button 2 command in the list of commands to be assigned to joysticks (though it does have G1000 MFD buttons). Then I thought I could just assign those buttons in the settings page in FSX, just like I can F4.

Oh they work, but they are just a selection of various commands that have no bearing at all with the MFDs in the aircraft. Will be there be a way to program key commands for the MFDs (using key emulation maybe)? Just bought the new Thrustmaster MFD and figured it would work seamlessly with the FSX Acceleration FA-18. Let me ask you a question on the superbug that is coming out soon. Jon, I also really like the VSTOL aircraft you mention - hope you decide to pursue it.
