    There are 5 potential causes.

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

    2) The PMDG 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 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.

    Is the 747 the latest version from PMDG? If so, try uninstalling and re-installing the 747.

    If it still doesn't work after that, copy and paste the GIT Log from the Log tab.

    The 64Bit version of GIT is in BETA, so it may be a bug. Have you tried the 32bit version of GIT with P3Dv4?
  • bottibotti
    no,
    ok i will trie.
    ( but way 737/777 no Problem?
  • bottibotti
    it is NOT running 32bit version , and always hangs ( hangs only pmdg 747)
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    What version of P3D are you running?
  • bottibotti
    prepare3dv4
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    What exact version number?
  • bottibotti
    Prepare3D_v4Academic_4.1.7.22841
  • admin_ppsadmin_pps
    I'll have to do some testing at my end to see why this may be happening.

    Hello Steve,

    I believe I have the same problem.

    I am trying to use the PMDG B747 Queen of the skies V3 in PreparV4.1 and the GIT 64bit v 3.5.0.0. with the Goflight MCP advanced.

    At the moment the plane is loaded in the simulator the GIT freezes. I can’t touch it anymore, and can only unload it by killing the process in Windows task manager.

    As with mr Botti, GIT works perfect with the PMDG B737NGX as well as the B777X.

    I tried the 32bit version as well, but the result is the same.

    I’m using the latest version of the B747 (v3.00.8605 according to the PMDG Operation Centre) and I am working in Windows10 Home, v1709 build 16299.248

    I followed all your recommendations you gave in the beginning of this thread, and I still can’t get it to work.

    Perhaps my information will help you to re-create our problem.

    Best regards,

    Peter v. d. Meule
