GIT and P3D v4
Hi,
I have the latest GIT, 2.747.3.3, installed with the hotfix.
The GIT shows all three green lights, GoFlight, Simconnect and Aircraft Mode : NGX.
P3D v4 Addons menu shows GoFlight Interface Tool.
However, no GoFlight modules are working.
Have I missed something?
Cheers
Graham

Only some GoFlight gear with the NGX auto configures such as the MCP PRO and LGT etc. Other devices need configuring. Have you enabled them in GIT by selecting the device ID in the dropdown and then selecting ENABLE?
Best wishes
Steve
PS: I have not yet tested GIT with PMDG updates from yesterday.
Just as you posted your reply, the web hosting crashed so nothing has been recorded here. Can you reply again please.
Thx
Steve
I'm only using the GoFlight MCP-Pro, EFIS and LGT II, but selecting any device and enabling it makes no difference.
It's odd because I have all the green lights on the GIT and can also see it in the P3D Add-ons menu. When I turn a knob on the MCP-Pro, a very few times the displays change on the NGX and quite often the PMDG mouse curser, (appears as a hand) moves with the turning of the knob, but no values on the display changes.
I do have "[SDK] / EnableDataBroadcast=1" in the 737NGX_Options.ini file
Cheers
Graham
Check the list of things which break the PMDG SDK 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

No Luck getting this software going with P3D v4 and the latest PMDG NGX.
To confirm my setting regarding "My MCP PRO or MCP Advanced is not updating its display (just showing zeroes)"
1. As stated, I'm running the latest versions of PMDG NGX.
2. I've tried loading the sim with default aircraft then switching to the NGX and also loading the sim with the NGX.
3. The SDK should be enabled as I'm running the MCP-Pro, EFIS and LGT II which should setup automatically and I also have "[SDK] / EnableDataBroadcast=1" in the 737NGX_Options.ini file.
4. All software is being run as administrator, and all software is loaded to the
5. Not sure about the NET framework but I'm running Windows 10 which should be well past the required NET Framework version.
This is a copy of the log, if this helps.

I'm only running P3D v4. I removed P3D v3.4 when installing v4 due to disk space.
I only have P3D v4 and X-plane 11 installed, both on

Are you running GIT v4? Have you run Windows Update to make sure .NET Framework is up to date?
Thx
Steve
Not sure about the P3D v2 and v3 entries, I only have P3Dv4, using GIT P3Dv4, version 2.747.3.3, and x-plane 11. No other simulators are currently installed.
Perhaps I need to clean the registry?
Control panel says I'm running Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Reditstributable (x64) - 14.10.25017
Cheers
Graham
I did a registry clean, thinking the P3dv2 and v3 maybe legacy entries.
After re-booting I started GIT P3Dv4, then P3Dv4 with default aircraft, then loaded the NGX. Here is the new log.

I haven't used p3D lately, working on an overhead panel waiting for the updated PMDG NGX and as such I wasn't aware of the Hotfix which had been issued. Now I have the P3Dv4, AND THE HOTFIX, installed, all is working.
Hope this may help to solve other customers issues at some point.
