Using GIT in a network enviorment
Hi I'm using GIT 64bit 3.8.0.1 and it is installed in a client machine. I have been using it to interphase with the PMDG NGXu, under both P3D v4.5 and V5 hotfix 2. I haven't has significant issues with it. However, I wanted to use the Lua function to program the Gear UP/Locked/Down functionality using a DIO board. This is when I noticed that the lua program is not working and I get the following message:
21:35:10 WinSock: Connection Failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:27015
21:35:10 LUA Processor: Connect Exception - Unable To Connect!
I suspected that this had to do with the Lua Config.txt file and I changed it to read hostname: IP of the server PC where P3D is installed. When running P3D v4.5 now it connects, but with V5 it still does not indicating the connection is refused. Why is this?
I started experimenting with other aircraft, mainly default as I wanted to see the detective functionality, but I still get the above messages, and I also the SimConnect: Exception Received: OUT_OF_BOUNDS. As such I can't use the Lua nor the detective. I look everywhere for answers. I followed the installation instructions but these do not cover network installations.
So this is what I have done so far,
1. I installed the Go flight drivers (latest) in both client and server. I install it it the client as is the only way I can use the GFConfig with the hardware attached to it. Made sure all devices are set to "Compatiable Add-On" and no function are allocated. the flight simulator info is pointing to the servers Shared folder where P3D v5 is installed
2. I copied the defaultP3D.gfc (only profile I have) in the client machine Documents\Goflight folder to the server's Documents\Goflight folder
3. I modified P3D V5 to include a add-on xml to load the Go Flight Interface Module 64.dll. I added it to the Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\GoFlight Interface\ folder that I created. I did this because P3D v5 does not have the dll.xml file. In this folder I placed a copy of the Go Flight Interface Module 64.dll, but only this and the add-on .xml are files in the directory. The module is loaded correctly because I can rest the GIT through the add-on menu menu in P3D
4. I make sure that the GFDevP3Dv4.exe is lunched when running the P3D. in V4.5 is automatic as it is done through the xml, but in v5 I do it manually. The programmed is lunched by invoking the programmed installed in the server.
Have I done something wrong?
BTW I also installed the MSFS 2020 GIT and the works for default aircraft over the network. I been able to use the MCP-PRO with the Airbus and the Cessna CJ4. So if it works for this it should with P3D.

I figure how to make it work and Now the Lua Processor is working. I had to change the following in step 3. The Go Flight Interface Module 64.dll module should be read from directory where Goflight Driver is installed and where the GIT.exe should also be installed as recommended in the documentation. the copy of the Module to the add-on folder was not right.
Also the instructions for Lua Network indicate that the path in the client Lua Config.txt should be the mapped drive for the the shared \Documents\GoFlight Interfase Tool\ folder, e.g. G:\. If I did this the tool in the client stated that the path G:\LUA could not be found. I solved this by putting in the path the address as \\ClientPC name\Users\myuser\Documents\GoFlight Interfase Tool\
So the only thing left to solve is the SimConnect: Exception Received: OUT_OF_BOUNDS issue.
[SimConnect]
level=Verbose
console=No
file=C:\Temp\SimConnect%01u.Log
file_max_index=9
Create a c:\Temp directory and start up GIT and P3Duntil the errors appear in GIT, then quit P3D and copy the file C:\Temp\SimConnect%01u.Log and paste it on this thread.
Thanks

I followed your instructions but the log file is not created. Just to be clear. I create the Simconnect.ini in the P3D v5 directory, in my case in the server machine in
Happy New Year. I have tired everything and I can't manage to make the system to generate the file despite following your instructions (I've even copy/pasted the simconnect.ini code to ensure I didn't misspelled anything. I use the GIT mainly to connect the to the PMDG 737, but from time to time I do fly other planes, hence the query.
On a different note, currently I have 4 DIO boards connected and working, what is the limit to the number of boards you can connect to the GIT?
There is no limit on DIO boards.
Finally managed to get the simconnect log file. The error was that I placed the simconnect.ini in the \Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\root directory instead of the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files
Anyway here are the two files; hopefully you can help me.
Thanks for the DIO answer.
forth time is a charm...

I remove the add-on.xml to test that I have only one version of the Module.dll running; but when I do this the Lua fails to start and the OUT_OF_BOUNDS issue remains. Also you are right now I have a dll.xml exists (must have been created after). I look at its contents and I have PMGD_interface.dll and RAASPRO.dll only. Nothing regarding the Module 64.dll. Do you reckon that I should added manually to the dll.xml?
The issue has been solved. I had to update the Module 64.dll in the computer running the P3D. That made the trick.
