EADT x737 v5 MCPPro+EFIS

Slayer · May 2016

This is for the new EADT 737v5 , MCPPro+ captains EFIS

Enjoy

Edit: I'll try to get blanking working for the VS and IAS displays sometime but I gave up on that for now, it was too much code and the VC and hardware got out of sync

Thank you Steve, spent the afternoon using you file, works a treat, would have taken me years to figure all that coding............................
Works with Ver 1 as Ver 1.3 CTD's for me.

Hi Trevor,

At what point does 1.3 crash?

Thx

Steve

trevg · May 2016

Steve it crashes as X-Plane is loading.
Bex64
X-Plane.exe
10.4.5.3
56bcd7e2
SHLWAPI.DLL
a whole lot more numbers
OS ver 6.1.7601.2.1.0256.1

ver 1 works a treat no problems at all. have done a clean install of 1.3 and CTD overwrote with ver 1
no problem. Changed to default Baron made no difference.

Cheers
Trevor

Trevor did you try to exclude the x-plane folder, GIT folder and documents folder from windows defender or whatever antivirus you're using? and/or try run as admin. I had some unexplained crashes and file saving issues , once I did the exclusions those probs went away.

Hi Trevor,

So its X-Plane that is crashing, not GIT? Does X-Plane with the GIT Plugin crash if GIT itself is not running with v1.3?

Thx

Steve

trevg · May 2016

Hi Steve,
X-Plane crashes on load, only if the GIT plugin is in the folder and only the ver 1.3.
I never start Git until after X-Plane is running.
Does not matter which aircraft is been first to load either.
Tried a clean start up (Git with no entry's) still the same.
I did another download in case I had a faulty download but still the same.

Cheers
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

How strange. You don't have the IXEG or other Gizmo type plane loading as default?

Can you zip up your Documents\GoFlight Interface Tool directory and send it to me at info@pollypotsoftware.org.uk or attach it on this thread.

Thanks

Steve.

PS: And load X-Plane with an inbuilt aircraft and see if it still crashes on startup. If it does, tell me which one you used so I can replicate your config.

trevg · May 2016

Steve,
I found this problem with new build of win 7, new build of X-Plane,
only default scenery no plugins and no extra aircraft.

I'll download fresh copy of 1.3 and remove plugins and try slayers suggestion with defender I have no anti virus on my flight machine.

btw .http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/102860-new-x-plane-interface/
about halfway down is another report by SWAQ4420.

admin_pps · May 2016

Hi Trevor,

I have already spoken to SWAQ4420 and he is using Gizmo enabled aircraft and Gizmo is bugged. The Gizmo developer has acknowledged the fault with Gizmo (its not only GIT that is affected).

Let me have your config files please so I can resolve this.

Thx

Morning Steve,
Just checking to see if my email got thru to you with my files..
Cheers

admin_pps · May 2016

Hi Trevor,

Yes thank you. I'm still working though possible issues. I'll come back to you sometime over the next few days.

Best wishes

Steve

Hi Trevor,

Can you replace the GIT Plugin with the one below. Replace in <xplane directory>\Resources\Plugins

Thx

Steve

trevg · May 2016

Morning Genius,
Replaced, X-Plane started without a CTD.
Works like a charm.

Cheers
Trevor

admin_pps · May 2016

Great news. Thx for letting me know.

Installed the EFIS and MCPPro. All works great.

I'd like to map the overhead panel and forward panel switches to my P 8's and RP 48's but I don't seem to be having any luck with the custom events that show up. I can't get anything to trigger.

Have you had any luck with any switches or buttons other than the EFIS and MCPPro? I'll keep fiddling in the meantime.

Slayer · May 2016

Sure they work.

I just don't have the hardware so didn't program them yet.

The file you want to look at is in the aircrafts folder called dataref.txt (note GIT is looking for datarefs.txt so it doesn't find this but you can still open it in notepad or whatever text editor for reference.

It's got everything you need to make new bespoke events.

Most of their buttons and switches just need an int sent to them so a zero for off and a 1 for on. Where you have to mind is if it's a push button like on the MCP. You have 2 choices with these , either create 2 diff. bespoke events one sends a 0 and the other sends a 1 and then assign them to the physical switch positions or put them both in the same event with a few if statements soomething like this:

if (yourvariable) = 1 Next else nextskip

(yourvariable) = 0

if (yourvariable) = 0 Next else nextskip

(yourvariable) = 1

That will make a toggle to toggle a button on or off every time you push it.

If you have some buttons and switch specific that you want and you're having a hard time with the programming I can add the bespoke events to my profile. You will just have to assign them to your own buttons /switches as you want them as I don't own any P8 or RP48's

knightracing · May 2016

Thanks for getting back. Finally got as far down as the air conditioning and found a few that are making sense. Got an RP48 controlling the Cabin Temp rotaries. It's actually pretty well labeled ( unlike the T7 where everything is anim/switch/74 etc etc )

Forgot about the data ref.txt. Good idea. I was poking through the menu in the detective page. A little cumbersome.

On ward and Upward

Slayer · May 2016

Ya this is one of the easiest well documented ones that I've found so far, the T7 wasn't too bad but their 757 is a nightmare, barely any docs with it

pegruder · May 2016

I tried to import the 737MCP PRO and got the following error: Failed to load configuration data for device GFDEVHWTYPE_GFMCPPRO. Any idea what im doing wrong?

admin_pps · May 2016

What language is Windows configured to use?

Best wishes

Steve

pegruder · May 2016

Update: Nevermind - rookie mistake. I didn't hit the readme first ;(

Slayer · May 2016

Forgot to import events in detective ; P

TorstenD · July 2016

Thank you for your work!

If i rotarie the altitude switch, i can only see 0 or 41000.

What is wrong on my settings?

My bespok event for mcp alt inc: x737/systems/mcp/althld_prog +=25

--- sorry for my english ---

Slayer · July 2016

Hi have you updated to the latest version of GIT there's an issue with different languages other than English in older versions.

TorstenD · July 2016

Thank you for the quick answer!

I have GIT Version 1.6.1.0

If i change the bespok event for mcp alt inc: x737/systems/mcp/althld_prog +=25 in x737/systems/mcp/althld_prog +=1 are the altitude-steps 5000.

Slayer · July 2016

Its possible something changed in the newest version of IXEG . Ill check when I get home from the holiday weekend

Slayer · July 2016

Torsten I had a chance to look at this.

The profile increments in 100 ft on my system and works ok.

It is a language conversion problem with GIT. The value I used was +=.025 in the profile.

The decimal is getting removed. This was the exact same problem with another profile and using German language.

You will have to contact Steve the author of the program. I will send him a message and direct him to this thread too.

admin_pps · July 2016

I'll have to take another look at the language issue.

Best wishes

Steve

TorstenD · July 2016

Thanks a lot!

admin_pps · July 2016

Hi TorstenD,

I have uploaded a new GIT for XPlane version. See if that helps with the import issue. Use the Import Wizard and make sure you delete all existing Bespoke Events via the Wizard.

Best wishes
