Unable to undock PMDG Panels in P3D
Earlier this year I invested in a stand-alone flight only sim PC and peripherals that included the GoFlight EFIS and MCP panels. I installed P3D v2.5 and the PMDG 737NGX and 777 aircraft, being the mainstay of my sim flying hobby. In conjunction with GoFlight/Pollypot software, all worked swimmingly well other than the occasional (and frustrating) OOM issues with P3D v2.5. Recently, P3D have released v3 and I so I swallowed the bitter pill and purchased the new licence as it seems to promise to eradicate the OOM issues (let’s see!). However, having ‘upgraded’ to the later version, I had issues undocking the panels of both of my PMDG aircraft. Having taken this up with PMDG’s superb tech help and followed suggestions to try to resolve the issue, nothing worked. So, I then uninstalled every piece of sim software, add-ons and all, cleaned and updated the operating system (Windows 7) and did a complete clean re-install of P3D v3 followed by the PMDG aircraft only. All worked well, no other add-ons or ancillary software installed. Next, I added the latest versions of the GoFlight configurator and Interface tool (2.1.18.0) in order to use my hardware panels. First run, perfect! Next and subsequent runs, same issues as before in that the PMDG panels won’t undock and some (randomly) of the clickable controls are not working. My only conclusion therefore is that the GoFlight software causes the problems – any ideas anyone? For info; I use five screens, three for outside views and two for panels, hence my desire to get the PMDG panels undocked!

I have no idea why or how it could possibly be doing this. However P3D version 3 and GIT are not playing nicely together as you will see from various posts on the forum.
I'm working on it, but don't expect much progress until the tail end of the week at the earliest.
