My MobiFlight config file to support the miniFCU with Displays on generic Asobo Planes (C172 G1000....)
(Inclusive full instructions with a new unit)
For all external device users:
Please comment & vote here in the fenix discord (forum) that we get an option to switch off the encoder boost (resulting in jumping values).
I managed to get this reduced with the v10 config, but it´s still present and could be much more responsive & without lags if off. Thanks

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Ensure your miniFCU is fully regristered as USB-SERIAL CH340 in your windows device manager, otherwise check here: https://shop.minicockpit.com/a/help/article/57597
=> if it won´t after driver installation or windows update you may use another or the original USB cable (power+data transport cable required!)
2) Close the miniFCU DLS (data link software), it´s not needed and causes issues if used together with Mobiflight
3) Download & install latest MobiFlight version, (see below) https://www.mobiflight.com/en/download.html
=> BETA NO LONGER NEEDED SINCE MOBIFLIGHT VERSION 10.1
=> Extras => Settings: UNTICK! "yes, i would like to receive beta version updates", then "OK"
=> Extras => Settings: TICKED! "Automatically perform retrigger-action with "run" mode
Now your sim switches will sync with your set switches in the miniFCU
=> If not already done, ensure you installed the Mobiflight WASM module => Extras => MSFS2020 => Install WASM module
=> check in your MSFS community, you have got a "mobiflight-event-module" folder, otherwhise its installed on the false location and won´t work
4) With a original or older miniFCU device, Mobiflight will now upgrade your firmware (do it) that it´s useable with Mobiflight
=> go though firmware updating messages, then in configured modules => right mouse click on "compatible" => "update firmware" => "minicockpit" => "miniCOCKPIT miniFCU"
5) Then "Upload" the boards default config (below the miniFCU picture) and click "OK"
=> Note you can restore the Firmware anytime same way: right mouse click on miniFCU (configured modules) => "Reset board" to get it usage with miniFCU DLS
CONFIG INTEGRATION:
Now all is prepared and the next steps must be done everytime you upgrade a config
6) Download & Extract my GENERIC_AP-V10_ASOBO_PLANES.zip
7) Open the config (.mcc) in Mobiflight (File -> Open -> select it)
8) Important or you won´t get Display values later:
=> Orphaned Serials found window opens => in the white field select my "miniCOCKPIT miniFCU/ SN-94G-809" serial that its blue marked -> "Assign"
=> then my serial will disappear and the config is adjusted to your serial => click "OK" => "Save" (otherwise you have to do it every time)
9) Optional but recommended, on Mobiflight bottom right mouse click on your selected aircraft => link current config & "Auto load linked config"
10) Optional but recommended; on Mobiflight top, activate "AutoRun" (yellow pulp if activated)
Now you are ready to use and enjoy
HANDLING / USAGE NOTES & INFORMATIONS:
- Don´t worry about the red "!" circles if config is running, these are programmed preconditions (logic) and normal
- Display values will appear earliest if sitting in the plane and MF config is on "RUN" (running)
Best to get it working is the following way (otherwhise it may not get synced)
1) start msfs and stay in the main menu
2) start mobiflight
3) select your plane
4) click MF and run the config (if not already)
5) start your flight & enjoy

Did a test flight in the C172/G1000 and it worked great! Is this likely to work with non-Asobo planes that use the stock MSFS GPS/AP systems?

I'm trying to edit this to make it work with the FSS E-Jets series, however, I've spent a lot of time doing so but just cannot get it to work. Any plans on making the MiniFCU work with the E-Jets?
