MCP Pro - Displays not working.

Hi all, I am a new user of the interface software. I own the GF EFIS, MCP PRO and GF166 radio panel and use P3D V4.

All buttons and switches on my MCP PRO work perfectly with the PMDG NGX, however all displays on the FMC are stuck to their "0" values (course 000, IAS not displaying anything, heading 000, altitude 0, vert spd 00000). What is the problem? Are there any settings I need to change? The EFIS works with no problem btw.

Also, I cannot get the radio panel to work. Displays are off and the buttons do not do anything. All 3 panels I have are detected by the interface tool.

Thanks
Demetris

    Hi Demetris,

    Go through the steps in the FAQ entry "My MCP PRO or MCP Advanced is not updating its display (just showing zeroes)" found here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/16-installation/70-faq-goflight-interface-tool.html

    I'll add from here. I got my PMDG 777 to work it was missing the SDK addition. But the 747 used to work in P3Dv3 does not work in v4. I've gone thru the FAQ

    1. Installed the lastest GIT yesterday
    2. F-22 is default aircraft. Change it to whichever aircraft at the Free Flight Screen.
    3. SDK entry was enabled. I even copy pasted yours just in case there was some error in its writing for some reason.
    4. All set to Run as Administrator. Although I'm contemplating seeing about running in compatibility mode.
    5. .Net Installer says I'm running the latest version.

    Any more ideas why this is happening? :(

    The 3.1 version of GIT is bugged with the MCP PRO and MCP in relation to the 777 and 747. A fix will be out this week.

    Same with the 737NGX as well? I'm having a heckuva time getting just about anything to work after upgrading to P3DV4 from FSX.

    No the NGX is fine. Make sure you have the latest version of the NGX and the hotfix 1 version of P3D.

    Best wishes

    Roger that - after days of troubleshooting it looks like when I did the hotfix upgrade originally I must have installed it incorrectly as the Help -> about said I had the hotfix version, but simconnect and any 3rd party apps thought I still had the original. Uninstalled everything, reinstalled and everything started working. Thanks!
