I'm interested to know what features of Mobiflight you need that AM can't provide, or perhaps there is another reason.

I was originally using Mobiflight for my MCP displays. I am converting my 737 to a C-Series wannabee look-alike and getting rid of my Opencockpits hardware in the process. I am running Prosim737 so I absolutely need a FSUIPC interface.

I want as many functions as possible on my touchscreens and Air Manager is the perfect tool for that. I just finished the Master Caution button. Both the indication and switch functions work fine. It took a bit of time to figure out how to make all this stuff work together but it does.

In theory you don't need FSUIPC. The offsets they use are just linked to certain LVAR's, unless ProSim has their own system like PMDG. If they do use LVAR's then it's a piece of cake.

Seems like they use LVAR's, like CABIN NO SMOKING ALERT SWITCH
If you can somehow find a list with all their LVAR's then you're in business.

If you have Air Manager, then start up the ProSim 737, go to the create / edit tab in Air Manager and open the Viewer I believe it's called, go to the FSX and Prepar3D tab and click on the get LVAR list button (I don't remember the exact label). It should generate a list of all available LVAR's.

There might be more, but at least you know they use LVAR's.

I ve got MX 17 installed.

One day I have noticed that all desktop icons are missing, although they are still visible in Thunar. Can anybody help me resolve the issue?
