MSFS: Is it normal that I have to reconfigure GIT at every launch of the simulator

NBouc

I don't know if it is supposed to be like that, but every time I start a new session of MSFS (with GIT 4.2.0.0 started), my Goflight modules are blank and dead. Pressing a button on the GF-166s or the MCP-PRO does not wake them up. GIT status is displaying all green.

I must reconfigure them in GIT every time.
MCP-PRO > Device 0 > enabled > FS Default
GF-166 > Device 0 > enabled > COM
GF-166 > Device 1 > enabled > NAV
GF-166 > Device 2 > enabled > NAV

Only then do they come alive. Shouldn't GIT remember my configurations ?

I understand that GIT for MSFS is still work in progress and I appreciate your efforts, I just wish that there is a way to avoid having to do this every time I start MSFS. Any suggestions ?

Oh brother. If this is that under developed, I'll wait before I try and figure out how to set my stuff up in this tool. I don't even know how to download the updated version. It would be nice if the tool updated itself.

NBouc,

No it shouldn't be doing that and I'm not seeing that behaviour on my PC. Can you try renaming Documents\GoFlight Interface Tool so GIT starts with new config files and try re-configuring again and see if it sticks. Also make sure GIT is quitting as that is when the settings can saved.

GS FS2020 is available in your account downloads, along with all the other versions. See the last entry in this article for more info: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/need-assistance.html

Thank you Steve for your reply, you told me exactly what I needed to know. I followed your advice and also applied the guide lines provided in your “FS2020 Feature Status and Usage” post. It looks like my problem is now solved.

I think that my initial mistake was to believe that once GIT was configured for a default aircraft, it should work for any other default aircraft.

I want to express my gratitude to you for providing us with a version of GIT for FS2020 so quickly, and that works quite well I might say. Being able to use my Goflight modules in FS2020 makes my flights so much more enjoyable.

Best wishes,
Normand.

I have the same problem every time I start GIT and the SIM I need to reconfigure all of my 11 modules.
