question on DREDataRefs.txt and DRE Mimic Mode
If I understood the DRE Mimic Mode in the Starting & The Status Tab documentation the file DREDataRefs.txt should be created automatically.
When I have a look in my aircrafts directory (C:\Games\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\B737-800X) I have no DREDataRefs.txt. I do not have the DataRef Editor Plugin installed.
When starting GoFilight Interface Tool X-plane, the DRE Mimic Mode is operational, I can see the green tick shown in the X-Plane status area.
It also says scanning X-plane, which takes a considerable time every time I launch (or re-launch the interface).
Do I something wrong, or is this normal behavior or is there an issue somewhere ?

Comments
If the plane is complex, it can take a while as its reading all the files to find custom commands and datarefs.

- a green checkmark apperars next to DRE Mimic Mode
- It says Scanning Files (above the DRE Mimic Mode)
- After a couple of minutes under AIRCRAFT it checksmarks Commands.txt, OBJ.DataRefs, ACF DataRefs, DREDataRefs and OBJ Commands
- no DREDataRefs.txt is created in the aircraft directory, only DRE.txt
This happens every time I start or relaunch GIT. Meaning I always need DRE Mimic Mode and it will scan everytime.Log
