Update information since the OC4BAv4 (version 4.4) was release Spetember 04 2017 are:
OCP4NGX.exe (version 4.4.2.0)
OCP4NGX_v4.6.ssi
Updates change log:
Deleted some script code for opening airplane doors via switches.
Modified the MIP panel input and output numbers to match those used in Opencockpits built MIP panels.
Modified the PED panel input and output numbers to match those used in Opencockpits built PED panels.
Added MCP BANKING logic so BANKING turn level is shown is HDG display
Changed MCP VS logic so it works better in MCP v2 modules

OCP4NGX info
*****************
When using B737 MCP
- HW HDG long push activates Banking SW. Another long push returns to HDG function
When using EFISs
a) Double click WPT acts as CTR
b) Double click DATA acts as TF
c) Long MINS push switches between RADIO and BARO mode
d) Long BARO push switches between IN and HPA mode
OCP4777X info
*****************
When using B737 MCP with B777 there are some differences no notice:
MCP
a) Switching B737 MCP A/T Arm will switch both B777 A/T Arm_L and A/T Arm_R
b) HW CRSL- 2 left turns act as left TOGA button
*c)HW CRSL- 2 right turns act as HDG_SEL knob
d) HW N1 acts as CLB CON
e) HW SPEED acts as A/T
f) HW C/O acts as IAS/MACH
g) HW SPD INTV acts as SPD PUSH knob
h) HW ALT INTV acts as ALT PUSH knob
i) HW LVL CHG acts as FLCH
j) HW HDG PUSH double click activates Banking SW. Another double click returns to HDG
k) HW HDG PUSH acts as HDG_SEL
l) HW HDG_SEL SW acts as HDG HOLD
m) HW CMD_A/B act as AP_L and AP_R
n) HW CWS_A acts as ALT INCR SW
o) HW CWS_B acts as HDG / TRK SW
*p) CRSR-left turns acts as ALT PUSH knob
* MCPv2 (should use *c) and *p) as there are too few buttons on MCPv2 hardware).
FMC 777
Some minor differences re layout of keys.
HW button CLB acts as FMCCOMM
HW button CRZ acts as ALTN
HW button DES acts as VNAV
HW button N1 LIMIT acts as NAV RAD
EFISs
All functions are implemented
a) Double click WPT acts as CTR
b) Double click DATA acts as TF
c) Long MINS push switches between RADIO and BARO mode
d) Long BARO push switches between IN and HPA mode
IMPORTANT!!!
In order to have the MINS/BARO knobs to work satisfactory you need to change the MINS/BARO
function to ROTARY in the FMC / PMDG Options/ Simulation Configuration Menu ( page 3).
Known issues:
Power state for MCP, COM1, ATC, FMC1 are not correct in all aircraft electrical states.
OCP4747X info
*****************
When using Opencockpits B737 modules with PMDG B747v3 there are some differences no notice:
MCP
a) Activating HW MCP's A/T Arm, FD_L and FD_R will also turn on their Leds( even if these Leds are not in the PMDG B747v3's virtual MCP)
b) HW CRSL- 2 left turns act as left TOGA button
*c)HW CRSL- 2 right turns act as HDG_SEL knob
d) HW MCP N1 acts as THR
e) HW MCP SPEED acts as SPD
f) HW MCP C/O acts as SEL
g) HW SPD INTV acts as SPD PUSH knob
h) HW ALT INTV acts as ALT PUSH knob
i) HW MCP LVL CHG acts as FLCH
j) HW MCP HDG PUSH double click activates Banking SW. Another double click returns to HDG
k) HW MCP HDG PUSH acts as HDG_SEL
l) HW MCP HDG_SEL SW acts as HDG HOLD
m) HW MCP CMD_A/B act as CMD_L and CMD_R
n) HW MCP CWS_A acts as CMD_C
*o) HW CRSR- 2 left turns act as SPD PUSH knob
*p) HW CRSR- 2 right turns act as ALT PUSH knob
MCPv2 (should use *c, *o and *p, as there are too few buttons on MCPv2 hardware).

Works as in PMDG B737
COM2
Works as in PMDG B737
ATC
Left HW rotary knob works as knob 1 and knob 2 in PMDG B747v3 virtual ATC
Right HW rotary knob works as knob 3 and knob 4 in PMDG B747v3 virtual ATC
Known issues:
