I'm looking at getting the forward overhead panel the aft and pedestal from opencockpits!
I was told i had post on here to see if the aft overhead was compitable with this software, so does the aft OH work fine with the NGX?

The AT OVH should work
fine in OC4BA. All Events and
Variables are available, but a
Script must be written.

What do you mean a script has to be written?
Cheers

Hi,
Every Opencockpits module, eg. MCP,EFIS etc need to have a special script to work in SIOC and OC4BA/OCP4NGX. With OC4BA/OCP4NGX, scripts for FWD OVH, MCP, EFISs, CDUs, COMs, NAVs, ADF, ATC, MIP, FirePanel
are freely distributed. At this time I have no AFT OVH script available as I do not have this in my cockpit yet.
It is fairly easy to do the script if one knows SIOC scripting. All Events and Variables for AFT OVH is available in OCP4NGX.
All function in the PMDG B737 NGX cockpit can be used with OCP4NGX, but not all scripts have been done so far. The missing at this time is the AFT OVH and some minor functions in the Pedestal.

So a script is to make it work? Make both of the them interact?
And what things are missing on the pedestal?

Do you have an ETA when the aft OH will work with the 737 NGX

You need
FWD OVH = 3 USB cables + 5V and 12V
AFT OVH = 2 USB cables + 5V and 12V

No, but there are scripts for FSX and ProSim ( look at
www.opencockpits.com), so it is quite easy to modify one of these to work with OC4BA
