    Yep, still works,
  • David_BeckettDavid_Beckett
    The 737-600 don't work for me. On opening GIT it sees the 737-600 and assumes it's the 700. :(
  • richjbrichjb
    same here, still working with the -700 Haven't tried the -600

  • fsamfsam
    one additional - the right button at status page is not flickering green as for Fenix AC for example, all buttons are green, but the right is dark green, hopefully there is a solution for GFIT for MSFS2020... Best regards Ralf
  • rlw9srrlw9sr
    The 737-600 MCP/EFIS does not illuminate any of the "fields." The knobs do change the various dials (as shown on the panel), but they do not show on the MCP/EFIS. I appreciate you looking at the problem--Thanks
  • rlw9srrlw9sr
    The problem is resolved by configuring the PMDG 737-600-See the end of the following link:

    Can people with the 600 confirm its working OK or not.

    Thx

    Hi Steve,
    GIT 4.7 is working fine for me in MSFS with the PMDG B736 (EFIS and MCP Pro). But I had to manually add
    [SDK]
    EnableDataBroadcast=1

    in the 737_Options.ini file in the B736 Work folder.
    I have the MS Store version of MSFS installed on a dedicated drive.

    GIT should do that automatically unless the directory has changed. Can you give me the full path to your 737_Options.ini file so I can check GIT has it correct.

    Thx
    Steve
  • NBoucNBouc
    Here's the path:
    F:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-2083512862-3558294711-2696691775-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-736\work

    My F drive is where I have the Community and Official folders installed.

    Worth noting that when I installed the B737-600, GIT 4.7 was already installed and working fine with the B737-700. I did not re-install GIT.
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    Thanks for that. This part is different (pmdg-aircraft-736), so GIT needs a small update.

    Best wishes

  • wombatauwombatau
    Looks like the 737-800 may need a little tweak too.
  • bfarneybfarney
    Yes just a little tweaking.....everything is working except the displays. Either showing nothing in the window or all zero's
  • wombatauwombatau
    Yep, just have zeros showing in the MCP pro, however the knobs do change the figures in the a/c. AP and FD switches work but no green lights in the MCP pro.
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    I've asked PMDG for the updated SDK. I can't do anything until I have that.

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • wombatauwombatau
    Thanks Steve. Looking forward to it.
  • RocketRodRocketRod
    According to PMDG in June of this year after they issued an update that did all this, they stated that if a developer reached out to them, they would provide the info they needed to resolve the errors. Now let's hope that is timely. PMDG is not known for being fast. I sure would like to have a fully functional MCP.

    Correct, and it all worked until the latest update. PMDG have admitted that some updates will break the SDK as the most recent one has.

    Just heard back from PMDG with the new SDK. Will work on it tomorrow with hopefully the same day release.

    New version is now available. Let me know if it works OK as I don't have the 738.

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • NBoucNBouc
    Steve, I don't have the B738 yet, but GIT 4.7.2.0 only sees 1 of my GF166 (I have 3 of them) even though Windows 10 detects all 3. I re-installed GIT 4.7.1.0 and it sees all 3 GF166 again. I thought I would let you know in case others have the same problem.

    I am OK with GIT 4.7.1.0 for now, until I decide to buy the B738 ;-)

    Best regards.

    Thank you Steve for such a prompt update. I confirm that GIT 4.7.2.1 sees all my GF166 again. Well done !

    Thats what I used, but a silly programming error combined the 736 directory to the 738 directory. Now fixed, download as usual.

    Best wishes

  • wombatauwombatau
    Bingo!
    Works like a charm Sir!
    Thanks Steve.
  • RocketRodRocketRod
    Works perfectly. All lights, digits correspond to the aircraft and sim. Thank You! I couldn't be more grateful to have this one piece of equipment functional again.
