We are currently using a simworld MIP along with a CPFlight MCP737EL, two EFIS737EL and two OpenCockpits FMCs/CDUs. The buttons, switches and LEDs are all interfaced using FDS/InterfaceIT Sys-cards. We use a Pokeys56U for controlling our backlighting using a relay since the FDS-cards can’t supply 5V. MIP is using Flight Illusion gauges, which we are very pleased with. Everything is interfaced using the ProSim737 software.

List over improvements we are looking to make to the MIP:
- Dual concentric encoders on the Autobrake panel
- Adding a solenoid to the gear lever.
