P3 D v5 and MCP Pro

Alex_S · August 2020

Hi there

I just purchased GIT software and trying to set up with Go flight mCP pro. I have been using the older version for FSX successfully for many years. It seems I don’t have the appropriate “bridge” software in my go flight folder for v5 . Am I missing something ? It only has v4? It seems the sim is picked up on the GIT software with all three lights being green however the mCP has only dashes on the display. I appreciate any support here thanks !

v4 works with v5. Please see the FAQ entry "My MCP PRO or MCP Advanced is not updating its display (just showing zeroes or dashes)" here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/16-installation/70-faq-goflight-interface-tool.html

Best wishes

Strange. Edit the dll.xml file in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 and add this.

  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>GoFlight Interface Module</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>C:\Program Files\GoFlight\GoFlight Interface Module 64.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>

If the dll.xml file isn't there, create it and add all this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>GoFlight Interface Module</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>C:\Program Files\GoFlight\GoFlight Interface Module 64.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Change directory paths as necessary!

Best wishes

Thanks Steve the file exists and I made changes however same error message appears. I have never had v4 so not sure why software is searching for that file path?

Install it first, then add the file changes if missing because that is all the error is referring to, opening that file to add the changes above.
