  • Hi,

    What aircraft are you using it with? Does the default baron work OK (after clicking FS Default)? Have you installed the hotfix 1 version of the P3Dv4?

    If its PMDG aircraft, you need to install the latest versions. Download from their website then apply any updates using their Operations Center software. If the controls work with PMDG, but not the displays, please read the entry "My MCP PRO or MCP Advanced is not updating its display (just showing zeroes)" in the FAQ here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/16-installation/70-faq-goflight-interface-tool.html

    If you still have problems, please copy and paste the GIT log here once the aircraft is loaded to the VC state.

    Best wishes

  • good evening Steve
    don't work
  • Log looks OK.

    Have you enabled the MCP on the MCP tab? What version of the NGX are you running?

    Thx
    Steve
  • Ngx 1.20.8414
    and where do i need to enable mcp? in which card?
  • Its the GIT MCP tab. You need to select Device 0 from the drop down list and then Pick ENABLED from the list next to it.

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • does not allow me to access the mcp window remains dark gray
  • Do you have the MCP or the MCP PRO?
  • now i did device 0 and enable but the same does not want to work. I am going crazy
  • Ok, so now you have enabled the device, quit GIT and restart it. Do the controls work but the displays remain blank or zero?

    Thx
    Steve
  • it lights up but there are dashes remaining
  • OK, but do the controls work?
  • Yes are all 3 on the green
  • No, I mean turn the altitude knob and see if the MCP in the Virtual Cockpit of the NGX changes.

    Thx
    Steve
  • it works and now it's all zero
  • OK. There are 5 potential causes:

    1) You are not running the latest versions of the NGX, 777, 747. GIT is always built to work with the very latest version only.

    2) The PMDG NGX, 777 or 747 will stop sending messages via their SDK and thus into this driver if

    - the aircraft is flown and then you return to the FSX main menu and re-fly it again;

    - switch between different models;

    - your default flight is set to use the NGX, 777 or 747 and then you change to another NGX/777/747 aircraft or model;

    It will manifest itself as the displays on the MCP PRO not updating, although you can use buttons and switches on the MCP PRO and the NGX/777/747 will respond. You will also notice no activity on the PMDG status LED on the Status Tab.

    PMDG have acknowledged this as an issue with FSX/Simconnect and is why they always recommend to restart FSX after each flight with the NGX/777/747.

    3) It may also be due to the PMDG SDK not being enabled. The enabling of the SDK is automatic if you have "FSX Enabled" and/or "Prepar3D Enabled" (whichever is appropriate) ticked on the Settings tab. You can check or set this option manually by using notepad to open the follow file(s):

    For the NGX: \PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\737NGX_Options.ini

    For the 777: \PMDG\PMDG 777X\777X_Options.ini

    For the 747: \PMDG\PMDG 747 QOTS II\747QOTSII_Options.ini

    and ensure the following exists:

    [SDK]
    EnableDataBroadcast=1 (if this is set to 0 change it to 1)

    4) On some systems the Flight Simulator software and the GoFlight Interface Tool need to be run as Administrator. Right click on the program concerned (e.g. FSX.exe and afterwards GoFlight Interface Tool.exe). Select the compatibility tab and tick run this program as administrator.

    5) You do not have the latest .NET Framework installed.

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • I have 737 no 777 or 747
  • And don't work.only 0
  • the NGX is the 737 so the steps do apply.

    Getting zeros is always due to one of the 5 things above. If you are absolutely certain all 5 things are correct, then I can only recommend uninstalling the NGX/737 and reinstalling as Administrator using the latest installer from the PMDG website. DO NOT apply any updates using the PMDG operations center. Run GIT, allow it to configure the NGX settings file. Quit GIT and then reload it.

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • what is the last ngx version? I have 1.20.8414 and what is the net framework?
  • That is the latest version. .NET Framework is a software development framework. Normally running Windows Update ensures you have the latest version. You can also manually install it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53344

    Best wishes
    Steve
  • Also, make sure the NGX is not set as your default flight.
  • nothing works, sorry but I do everything you say but it does not work
  • buttons work x 1 minute and then locks
  • What version of p3Dv4 are you running?
  • Copy and paste the log after It has locked.

    Thx
    Steve
  • 4.0.23.21468
  • You are not running the latest version. You need 4.0.28.21686 (the hotfix 1 version). The earlier version had Simconnect bugs.
