GIT launch problems

I've tried GIT P3Dv4 64Bit.zip and GIT P3Dv4.zip but neither will successfully prompt me to run the GIT add-on when P3D runs. The help refers to GoFlight Interface Module.dll but I only have GoFlight Interface Module 64.dll. Something is wrong somewhere. A copy of my dll.xml is attached.

  • Hi Ray,

    The manual is a little out of date. There is no prompt to run anything in P3D, only for FSX.

    Fire up GIT from the shortcut on the desktop and you should be OK.

  • Some additional info. If I start GIT with P3D not running all tabs except Status, Settings and Log are disabled so it's not possible to see the status of individual components.

    When I launch P3D and then load a saved PMDG737 scenario GIT tabs become available.

    I open the MCPPRO tab and it's disabled. I use the dropdown and select Device 0 and it is then enabled. The MCP shows data and I can change alt, speed, heading etc and see the results on the aircraft. Same for the EFIS.

    I save the settings on the Settings tab and exit both GIT and P3D.

    When I restart P3D still no add-on prompt and when I start GIT everything is disabled again. Why?

  • That's normal. GIT only wakes up once the flight sim is in sim mode.

    It may look disabled, but it isn't. The device status is only updated when you pick a device from the drop down.

  • Okay, understood. Silly question. Does GIT need to be running with P3D or does the DLL control things? I've looked in the guidance but it's not obvious.

  • I missed your earlier post. GIT does need to be running and there's no Addon prompt for P3D. Understood. Just wasted 3 hours trying to fix something because instructions were not up to date. Is the dll.xml entry still required for P3D v4? Please update them asap.
    Cheers,

  • Yes the dll entry is required.

    Best wishes
