P3D 4.1 anf GFIT

gordongordon
in General
Good afternoon Steve

Just recently I purchased P3D V4.1 also the PMDG 737NGX.

I downloaded the P3D version of GFIT and loaded it with no problems, although I noticed some differences when compared with FSX.

1) When loading the PMDG 737NGX, GFIT appears to load OK but the simconnect light is yellow. The log shows "Simconnect: Exception Received". .The MCP Pro, EFIS and LGT appear to be working OK, The Detective button is also grayed out. I assume this is not a problem.

2) When loading a default aircraft I get 3 green buttons but when I go into detective and do an Events Toggle it does not scroll. The LVARS Toggle scrolls but it's the same LVAR, "Time Clock Start", nothing else.

I Believe I have all the simconnects loaded (4 entries)

My operating system is Windows 10 1709. Build 16299.98

Computer is a I7 8700K

All help is appreciated.

    Ignore the exception received. When working with NGX , you can't use detective , it's hard coded.

    after you loaded a default aircraft did you try to load a default profile for the MCPPro by hitting the default FS button? Otherwise there is no profile and nothing will happen.

    Thanks for your response. I suspected with the PMDG 737 being hard coded that was the issue.

    When I refer to default aircraft I'm talking about one of the aircraft that came with P3D in this case the Bonanza. I don't understand what you mean by "load a default profile for the MCPPro by hitting the default FS button".

    Thanks again

    Start GIT, the sim and load a default aircraft. In GIT there is a tab for each device. Pick the Mcppro tab. In that tab there is a dropdown. Set that to enabled, then click the default fs button.

    Not all devices have the default fs button.

    Got it now. I did as you said, loaded MCPPro also LGT and set to FS default. Problem is still there. The Events Toggle just toggles between Activate and Stop. The Lvar scrolls TimeClockStartSL nothing else.

    I did untick "Pause on Task Switch" in P3D so the sim is running.

    Can I assume, looking at Robs tutorial, that GFIT in P3D works the same as FSX?

    Thanks

    Hi Gordon,

    Its probably that this aircraft is "quiet". Try pressing a few buttons in the VC and see if anything appears. Move your head view around in the cockpit and this will generate events.

    I recently installed prepar3d version 4.1 and now GIT is not working with pmdg airplanes, esspecially with my GF-MCP Pro. GF-MCP Pro shows only blanks instead of numbers in every field, goflight software is 2.28 and I have installed today the GIT software from december the first. Simconnect Shows a yellow dot when using a pmdg airplane, with standard planes everything is green. What could be the reason?

    Best regards

  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    A Simconnect yellow LED can usually be ignored. It means a Simconnect exception occurred.

    If your PMDG aircraft are still not working please do the steps I recommend in this thread: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/vanillaforums/discussion/722/mcp-pro/p1

    Hi Peter,

    Did you fix your problem?

    Thx
    Steve
  • phechtphecht
    Hi Steve,

    no it is nit fixed. I uninstalled GIT, deleted goflightinterce from the documents, and installed the latest Software Version, still only dashes in the mcp Pro. By the way, after the reinstall og GIT I was not asked to enter my licence again, and when starting prepar3d versiobn 4.1 I was not asked if I trust the interface.

    Best regards

    Peter
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    That's normal for the license.

    Assuming you have followed in the installation instructions, did you check the 5 things in the FAQ entry "My MCP PRO or MCP Advanced is not updating its display (just showing zeroes)" here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/16-installation/70-faq-goflight-interface-tool.html

    Best wishes

  • phechtphecht
    Hi Steve,

    yes, I checked that. But my mcp pro is not even showing zeroes, only dashes..
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    Can you test the default Beech Baron to make sure everything has installed correctly (With the Baron in the VC, click FS Default on the MCP PRO GIT tab, enable the device then quit and restart GIT).

    Thx
    Steve
  • phechtphecht
    Sorry, I had to enable a device before I could click on FS Default. But that does not Change anything..

    It sounds like the GoFlight Interface Module is not running. Can you check the dll.xml file at \AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 contains only one GIT entry like this:

    <Launch.Addon> <Name>GoFlight Interface Module</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\GoFlight\GoFlight Interface Module 64.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon>

  • phechtphecht
    Yes, just one with the path:C:\goflight
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    Can you copy and paste the GIT log file with a PMDG aircraft loaded. Also tell me if there is a Lockheed martin.dll in the c:\goflight.

    Thx
    Steve
  • phechtphecht
    where can I find the GIT Log file, I am just a customer, not a pogrammer..
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    In GIT there is a tab called Log. Just copy and paste the contents.

    Thx

    Thanks for this. I will get a new version out tomorrow that will hopefully fix the problem.

    Hi Steve,

    ok, I will look for the new version and will test it as soon as possible and you will get a feedback. Thank for your support.

    Hi Peter,

    New version of GIT for P3Dv4 is now available. If it doesn't work, download and try the GIT P3Dv4 64Bit.zip file.

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • phechtphecht
    Hi Steve,

    nothing has changed with the new Version. Then I tested the 64 bit Version and Registration failed: 202!

    Best regards

    Peter
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    I have reset your install count back to 0 so you can register the 64Bit version.

    You have enabled the MCP PRO in GIT?
  • phechtphecht
    Yes!
  • phechtphecht
    Hi Steve,

    funny, I rotated the knobs of the mcp pro while a standard plane was active and than loaded the 737NGX. Then suddenly the mcp pro was ok! Only the vertivcal speed seems to be erratic; for instance, when turning the wheel to rise the vertical speed, suddenly the speed was going down and vice versa. So it is difficult to select the vertical speed which you want to fly. Could that be a problem with the beta Version?

    Best regards and once again thank you for the Support.

    Best wishes

    My downloads of both 64 and 32 bit of the new GIT are corrupted. Can someone confirm these new files are working?
