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 ?

  • Yes it should. Try running GIT as administrator in case its a security issue.

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

    I tried running GIT as administrator, same behavior.
    • 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.

  • Are you sure you don't have the DRE plugin running, because that is the only other thing it could be?
