Problem with MCP when using P3DV4.5 Windows 10 using PMDG NGX

Hi

I believe I pressed on the GF Config file, and ever since then, when I open up P3DV4.5 I get dotted lines across the MCP as soon as P3DV4.5 is open. Once I open the PMDG 737NGX the lines turn to 0's. When I then log in to Pollypott GIT, all my modules come to life, but when I try and move the knobs on the MCP, it is as if the old GF config, and Pollypott GIT are both working at the same time. When you turn the knobs, you get all different numbers being displayed, so it is very difficult to know what speed or heading you are on. How can this conflict be cleared up?

Also, when I press the Pollypott GIT, it tells me that there is a new version available. I press OK, and then I am up and running. My last version update was Dec 01, 2019. Is there a newer version I should be running, and if yes, how do I get it?

Lastly, I also have the Pollypott GIT for FS2020. It was last modified Oct 13, 2020. It does not seem to work very well. Is there a newer version for that as well, with more features?

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks

Rob

  • In GFConfig, make sure the MCP PRO is set to compatible addon in the P3D tab.

    You have to download the newer versions from your account (it always has the latest).

    Yes, GIT for MSFS has been updated loads of times since 2020. Download from your account.

    Best wishes

  • Hi Steve, Thank you for your prompt response. Do I just download the newer versions, and it will overwrite the old ones, or do I have to delete the old ones first? If I delete the old ones, will it still save my current module settings?
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • You can remove if you wish but you don't have to. Your settings never get removed.

  • Hi Steve,

    I am still having some issues. Operationally on both P3DV4.5 and MSFS 2020, as soon as I press the A/T button, it goes on for about a second, and automatically shuts off. If I look at the 3D cockpit, at the same time, It mimmicks what is happening on the Goflight MCP. It is the same problem for both P3D and MSFS. If I engage the A/T in PMDG, without using Goflight, the A/T stays on like it should. Also for some reason my my GF46 lights up properly, but the rotary dial does not seem to change the numbers.

    All other modules are working great.

    Once again your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

  • It looks like your A/T switch is faulty. Try GoFlight's test program in the following link and observe what switch 5 does when you use the A/T switch: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvmOqBMETlayh9ZQUzSikUTgvmwIyw?e=XLRYXU

    Also check you have the MCP Pro set to compatible add-on in GFConfig and you do not have the A/T switch assigned to do something in other software or the Sim itself.

    On the GF46, do you have events assigned to the rotary? Does the GIT GoFlight LED on the status tab flash when you use the rotary?

    Best wishes
