  • Still waiting as well and hoping for a solution. Dave
  • I notice in the picture above that the GF166's have the older black faces. I have the same issue with a GF166 and a GF46 that are black(and are my oldest hardware). They show up as detected by my PC and by GIT software. However, they remain dark. Even when I click on the "Identify" button in GIT I get nothing. I also have…
  • So sorry for your loss. Take time to reflect, it helps.
  • Hi pccoder. Funny thing is, my experience would be exactly the opposite. I spent 10+ years fighting with Goflight and FSX with limited success. For example, PMDG aircraft and goflight use to be a disaster together. I switched to Xplane 2 years ago. I have had far greater success programing my goflight equipment (3-GF188,…
  • That's it! Thanks for the great support!!
  • Hi Steve Thanks for resetting my count. Downloaded and installed GIT. Got the attached error message during install but everything seems to be working. I will download the zibo profile and see how it goes. Will let you know. Any thoughts on this error message??? Thanks Dave
  • ??? I downloaded GIT yesterday after you reset my count. Thank you. I have tried to shut down OneDrive and in the process can no longer find the download from yesterday. I have no idea how many files I have lost or where they are since trying to remove OneDrive. (I have had some choice words for Microsoft in the last 24hrs…
  • HI Steve, I deleted GIT and the GIT plugin in the plugins folder. Checked manually to ensure everything was removed. I did a registry clean with Ace Utilities. As has happened before I get the attached error message. To get around this error message, as I said above, I made the file it was looking for on the "OneDrive"…

  • Hi Steve, There was a windows update on Feb. 13. I did a flight on the 14th and then on the AM of the 15th Xplane wouldn't open and I found the issue with the GIT Plugin in the log.txt. No aircraft additions either. Nothing else I can think of either that has changed. Dave
  • HI Steve, Here are my GIT Log.txt and xplane11 log.txt I reinstalled the latest GIT and simply "ignored" the error messages that came up. When I tried to open xplane 11 got the same CTD after the start up window appeared. dave
  • HI Steve thanks for the reply! Tried inserting the file as suggested but I got the same error message. Notice the error refers to the documents folder in the OneDrive. Is this what is suppose to happen? Suggestions?? I also was going to try a fresh download to see if that would help. Went back to the download page and see…
  • Didn't I read somewhere here that there are files that the developer has to give access to or open up in some way so they can be used here?? Could that be the case here??
  • Thanks for the reply. Yes I did that at the onset when I noticed it was a capital "B". During the latest update Zibo reworked some things. One was the engine start knobs and the other was the landing light switches. There is more advanced animation when they turn. I figured out the landing lights but so far have not got…
  • Perfect thanks! Back in business!!
  • I'm wondering if that is the problem? With 3_30 I get absolutely nothing showing up in GIT, including bespoke events I made or the downloaded proifiles. It is as if the aircraft isn't detected at all. How do we change the aircraft name to match 3_29e?
  • All my goflight equipment stopped working in 3_30b. Went back to 3_29e and works fine. Hmmm any ideas?
  • I'm not having any issues with 3_29c either. I have three 166's and all working fine. I did have a problem last week where I all of a sudden lost 2 out of 3 of them. I never looked at the datarefs so I don't know about that. The problem for me was a windows 10 update. I had to reinstall the goflight drivers and I also went…
  • ??? Hmmm?? Don't understand the question or the answer. :/ I have GIT and start it after Xplane 11. Is that incorrect? Everything seems to be working. What is the plugin?
  • Ok, I have to eat a little crow now. I did not think your suggestion would work. Since all my other modules were working, including two other GF166's I thought it was a waste of time. But..... I installed the latest drivers and poof!!!, both the GF46 and the GF166A came to life. Working fine and already programed and…
  • Thanks Steve. I saw that and I guess I should give it a try. When I was in FSX with GIT, there was a specific version of the goflight drivers that were to be used. Do we simply use the most recent ones now? Dave
  • YES!!! Thanks Steve, that worked. Still curious about the inner workings and why we can't get the switch to move. On to the next one! Dave
  • Thanks Steve, I had forgotten about the Switch and Case feature. Did you get the switch to move to the start(2) position? I got the on(1) and off(0) positions sorted out with ifs and gotos. My issue is that for the life of me I can't get the switch to move from the on(1) position to the start(2) position. Tried switch/case…
  • Success or at least partial success. I created a bespoke push button to turn the APU on and off, ie between position 0 and 1 OFF = laminar/B738/spring_toggle_switch/APU_start_pos DataRef Data: 0 ON - laminar/B738/spring_toggle_switch/APU_start_pos DataRef Data: 1 I used these two for the "if" statements and the commands…
  • Thanks Steve. I saw those commands and I think I tried them. I'll give them another go and see if I can come up with something!
  • Appreciate it Steve. I don't think I get all the concepts of xplane and datarefs just yet!
  • Success! Thanks Steve. I think I was missing the custom and the standard buttons in detective. Nevertheless this time I found them and all is good. Thanks! dave
  • No luck so far. Is the user guide in the pull down menu the only manual available? How do I "send" a command like: laminar/B738/switch/land_lights_ret_left_dn Can't even find it let alone send it! The only one I can find is: laminar/B738/switch/land_lights_ret_right_pos I gotta be missing something dave
  • Thank you very much for the responses and I will certainly give these a try. It does beg another question though, as I learn xplane 11. When I activate the switch with detective running I only get the above response in the detective window. Why would I have not seen the appropriate one of these commands listed as well when…
  • Thanks for the quick reply!! I thought I tried searching "none". I'll give it another shot!!
