  • To all who helped me - update: After long periods of trying I have finally given up now. In the A/C slide-down-menu there´s a checkbox called "plugin radio". When I check this box I can use stuff like Saitek radios for xpdr and com, and also use the GF 46. But checking this box also disables GF166 so I will just live with…
  • Hi Rob, the longer the better! There´s such a lot to learn from you and I (not only hopefully) am very thankful for your hard work!!! Best wishes, Alex
  • Thanks Rob, thanks Steve! This OHP is one of my wishes that have come true thru your both people's hard work! - But now I want more!!! One day the cockpit mist be full size and full scale! @ Rob: all switches and LEDs are Conrad Electronic used with 3 DIO boards, I can send you art# from the Austrian distribution if you…
  • Rob, when I started with GIT I used several Saitek panels with Sparker's plugin and had absolutely no idea how to get GIT running. But using your vid parallel on a different screen made me program my first bespoke event! Meanwhile I have finished the entire 777 using 3DIO boaeds for my DIY-overhead panel, as well as efis,…
  • Hi Rob, thanks for your comment! I'm currently very strongly bound to my job, but asap I'll try to get into the LUA thing. current status: I don't even know how to bring Steve's programming into one (or two?) bespoke event (s)... Hope to find some time next weekend! btw: Wasn't it you who made that fine youtube tutorial…
  • Sorry, no update available yet... I just can´t make friends with that LUA programming... No idea if Steve wrote one command or more to be assigned separately, read all the manuals up and down several times but I might be too stupid for that. So reading one more time now. - All the rest is working so pretty fine, I just…
  • Wow Steve... this really kicks me off my seat now! I´ve never expected that this would happen, and all I can do for now is to say THANK YOU!!! Right now I started to rearrange all my USB hubs and cables and add some new powered hubs to ensure sufficient electric power for all the GF devices. But right afterwards I´ll have…
  • Maybe I just need to get used to the fact that I must set the xpdr via mouse in the 3d cockpit - couldn´t get it to work in any way... That "xpndr/dig" tries to kill me, but I´ll stop working on it and survive ;-) Thanks for all the assistence, maybe one day the solution comes in my dreams...
  • Hi Slayer, thank you so very much for all the provided informations! I have already "played" with xpndr/dig, but until now without any noticeable success... (maybe I was too fast in incrementing?) I will give it a very intense try today to figure it out ;-) about your edit: I can´t write or even speak any LUA - I´m just so…
  • Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with my problem, Slayer! "set 1st digit with rotary , press, set 2nd digit, press, set 3rd, digit press etc" - would be my favourite solution... I am really thinking about a kind of array made by several if-statements in the programming, but I´m still far away from "perfect with GIT"…
  • Wow, I appreciate your help so very much, Steve, even if it didn´t work this time! Thank you for your "wasted" time - I will ask FF about those facts and keep you informed! Happy holidays!!! Alex P.S.: Since today in use: 3 x DIO Board for the complete DIY Overhead Panel 777 (96 switches, buttons and rots and 103 lamps 1 x…
  • Hi Steve, thanks a lot for your quick response! Did what you said, started with squawk 1111 1st turn cw: 0001006784 DataRef : sim/cockpit/radios/transponder_code DataRef Data: 1211 0001006849 DataRef : sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/transponder_code DataRef Data: 1211 0001006997 DataRef : sim/cockpit/radios/transponder_code…
  • Hi Dave, had to learn just the same hard way today... as a beginner of using GIT I´ve just finished my 777 completely and suddenly all lights and switches changed or didn´t work any more... dunno why. So it´s easy to say "you are so damned right" Backed up for the future - keeps frustration away :wink: regards, Alex
  • Hi Rob, the holiday season seems to be the best time for sim-jobs, right? That will be the time when I´ll try to finish my overhead panel. So your good intentions are just in time for me..... :wink: What would I do without your voluntarily shared knowledge? Cheers, Alex
  • Hi Rob, I just can´t thank you enough for this tutorial! You taught me to program my first switch ever! B) Now - two weeks later - I am not able to live without GIT any more!!! Best wishes from Austria Alex
  • Hi Steve, never before got a question answered quicker and so satisfying! YOU ROCK! Got my 1st DIO today and when it does what I expect I'm gonna get some more for my "non-toylike homecockpit"! Thanks to GIT my dreams come true after years of hope
  • Hello Steve, thank you very much for all the assistence you give! I will try my best as soon as I find some time... my job´s killing me right now. Keep you informed, Alex
  • Thanks a lot Steve... for the prog example! Appreciate your help very much! When my programming of GIT is complete I'll try to find out how I can get enabled to post in xpl.org. People need to know that there's a great solution for all their cockpit needs! Greetings from snowy Austria Alex
  • OH SORRY, I forgot to delete this post, found the "bug" later - a defective power supply of my usb hubs caused the freeze! And I thought this could never happen to me... Alex
  • Hi Steve, thanks for your answer. This sounds quite clear to me, fact is that I have no idea what a BE of this should look like. I really don´t want to appear like a stupid sticky guy but could you please give me some hints to build this needed BE? For the moment I am so very happy that I could manage almost all of my…
  • Hi Steve, no need to investigate, I´ve restarted the sim and GIT several times and now the black scn is gone, things are just fine now! Thanks for all your help, you are a great supporter! If you want to get mad you should carefully watch the x-plane.org forum... there is a big lot of work to do bc. people write stupid…
  • Fully agree! I started working with GIT just 2 days ago without any knowledge, just Rob´s Youtube tutorial and the PollyPot manual. Today I tried to contact Steve and he answered pretty precisely within a good timespan. - (Beginner´s) problems solved. Just incredible how bad some people write about PollyPot on different…
  • PROGRESS update: Slayer´s bespokes work pretty fine! A/P is manageable now and some more assignments are done perfectly. (gonna read them out for sure to learn from his work) Only one trouble left for now: The CPT´s PFD is completely dark now after importing the bespoke events... as I´m not a programmer I have no idea for…
  • Thanks a lot Steve, I will work on your advice and keep you informed. BTW: Great support, great Software, very quick response, just completely different than mentioned in some forums which has kept me away from using GIT for a long time until now ;)
  • P.S. I have noticed the preconfig, but I want to learn to manage this precious software
  • Hi Steve, thanks for your answer! I think you misunderstood me though: 1st time I click dataref = 1 (on) which is ok; 2nd click is dataref = 0 but A/P is still on! A/P can only be disc. via disc button! This is what makes me unsure what to assign! 1. A/P arm dataref1 A/P is now on 2. disco via disco button A/P is off 3.…
