Hardware Configuration
Hardware COM port discover:
If the MIP is not supplied togheter with an our simulation PC, You must discover the communication
ports manually.
Download the latest FTDI drivers:
https://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
and install them.
To discover the right COM port of each device, is better disconnect all USB ports before start , then
reconnect only the usb cable for the device You want configure, one by one.
To do so, open the left backpanel on the rear of the MIP.
Locate the USB HUB, then disconnect the 4 cables labeled:
Throttle , Overhead , MCP , Gauges , MIP.
Press "windows" key on the PC connected to the MIP and digit: "devmgmt.msc" then click on the
program icon to open the device Manager, click on "Ports(COM & LPT)"
Reconnect the USB cable of the device You want configure, and check if there is a new COM port,
take note and create a list of the new COM port assigned, like the typical FSC configuration:
FSC Throttle COM3 (and / or COM13 via LAN interface)
CpFlight MIP COM4
FSC MIP COM5
Gauges (GSA55) COM6
CpFlight Overhead COM8

Flight Illusion Gauges Configuration:
Download the Configuration program from this page:
https://www.flightillusion.com/support/
Then start "Simulator Control program" and click on "configure"
button.
In the configuration page, set the COM port assigned, and "Search/
Check Connected Units"
The list of connected units can be for Project Magenta or Prosim,
unfortunately they are different for some instruments, so if You want
to switch from a system to another, You must reprogram the "id"
number of some gauges.
To do so, click on a gauge item on the left window and change the id
assigned on the right.

Configuring FSC CDU's with Prosim 737
In this guide, you can find below a sample configuration for Prosim:
If You are using 2 CDU's togheter (CP&F/O) You must have 2 folder with
Prosim CDU: for example "ProsimCDU_CP" and "Prosim CDU_FO",
because the configuration are different for each side.
Assuming You are running Prosim already connected and configured, start
ProsimCDU.exe , right mouse click and "Config", and go to "Drivers" tab:
Insert the CDU ip and port
(the port should be 1745) in
the field "For FSC CDU's"
Return to "Option" tab,
and change the "CDU
Role" for Your needs.
