| BOEING 737 MODE CONTROL PANEL |
| |
MCP737 is an 85% scaled replica of Boeing 737 MODE CONTROL PANEL (412x68x28mm).
The module is complete and ready to use and interface with Microsoft Flight Simulator
and Project Magenta.
MCP737 is connected to the PC through USB, the package is provided with universal
power supply adapter and cables; driver and software can be downloaded free at
web site download page.

MCP737 interfaces with Microsoft FS2000, FS2002 and FS2004; also is fully compatible
with Project Magenta software.
The MCP737's panel is 1" thick (excluding knobs and rear connector). MCP737 gives
you a flexible system, able to satisfy who needs more realism in his flight (using
real switches, buttons and knobs), up to the enthusiast that intends to reproduce a
realistic Boeing 737 flight deck. MCP737 comes ready for panel assembling. You can
place it in your cockpit glareshield, fixing it by the hole arranged on front-plate,
or you could lean it on your desk using the aluminum brace available as an option.

Based on a 16 bit microcontroller, MCP737 comes with 6 digital encoders able
to command all functions you may find on a real Boeing 737 Mode Control Panel.
The VOR1 and VOR2 course may also be selected through dedicated knobs and displays.
The panel is equipped with: 14 integrated lights pushbuttons; Auto Throttle switch with
led indicator; two Flight Director switches with own led indicator; Vertical Speed thumb wheel and flat disengage lever. All selected
values are shown through yellow 7 segments LED displays. The flash memory
technology of the 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 to support the expansion modules developed by Cpflight.

The front panel (dimensions 412 mm width and 68 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.

MCP737 is ready for expansions. Through the 40 pole I/O
connector you can manage up to 64 digital inputs, 10 digital outputs,
6 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs.
The daisy-chain capability allows to connect plug and play CPflight modules
through the DIN 5 pole socket.
Each module is provided with 5 pole cable and is ready to be used without need
any software configuration.

TIPICAL SETUP |
| |
MCP737 is the heart of an expandable system that allows additional hardware
to be daisy-chained through it.
Beyond to the plug and play modules, a "generic" board MCPEX1 allows to connect
user's configurable devices (switches, buttons, potentiometers...).
