MCPPRO freezing after about 2 hrs of flight

After about 2 hrs of flight my MCPPRO freezes completely, a restart of the GIT does not change anything, the PMDG Autopilot panel still works fine.
The only way to solve this is to unplug the USB cable and put it back in, but if this is done during the flight, P3DV4.4 crashes. Does this problem have anything to do wit the GIT Software?

Thanks for your help and Brgds,
Hermann

  • Hello Hermann,

    That indicates that the physical hardware has locked up. When the MCP PRO first boots up it will give you a letter and 2 numbers. If this is not A25 or above then you are running firmware that is bugged and needs upgrading.

    If the firmware is OK, check you are using USB2 connections and you have power management turned off in windows for the MCP PRO and any hubs it is connected to and the USB port on the PC.

    P3D crashing is likely due to you running FSUIPC. FSUIPC plugs into a bugged routine in the GoFlight GFDev.dll for detecting device connection/disconnection which is why GIT doesn't use it.

  • Dear Steve,

    I have checked everything and the only problem i still have is that the MCPPRO shows after the start A22. I have downloaded and installed the latest GoFlight Config 2.28.0 software but it still shows A22. What else can i do?

  • Hi Hermann,

    As far as I know, it needs to go back to your supplier to be upgraded or sent back to GoFlight. A22 firmware is well known for locking up.

  • Dear Steve,
    I have contacted Goflight over a week ago, but no answer from their Support, do you know who to contact at Goflight?
    Thanks for your help,

  • No, they have just been bought out so I guess everything is up in the air at the moment.
