  • I just checked and found the pages you referenced!
  • Didn't realize you have MSFS. I do not have MSFS. Anyway, not sure what this means: "it's not called an ini file anymore it's 737_Options no .ini and it a configuration file" .
  • In my P3DV4 installation, the file, "777X_Options.ini" (approx 3KB), is located in the installed PMDG Directory for the 777.... \Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\PMDG\PMDG 777X\.
  • NEVER, EVER INCLUDE (OR PUBLISH) YOUR USER KEY!!!
  • They are available on Pollypot. Check "Downloads"
  • The new version should be 4.5.1.2.
  • Hi Steve, FYI - Ver 4.5.1.2 fixes the bugs I encountered in the initial update V4.5.1.1 two days ago. All my modules are working correctly. (Ver P3DV4.5) Regards, Claude
  • Hi Steve, Probably is why you remarked it out.! :) I looked at the SDK also and suspected as much since I did not see any obvious, to me, listing. Anyway, for me it's not an issue. (Interestingly, it does work with the current version of the 777.) Best, Claude
  • Deleted! Add to the wrong message
  • On the PMDG forum, several posters referenced simular problems interfacing the PMDG 747 with flight control hardware and the SDK variables. Yesterday, May 10, Robert Randazzo posted the following encouraging news -- "We broke the SDK output accidentally. An update to correct this is pending. Don't do anything on your end,…
  • Hello Steve, I only recently installed the 747 (yet to fly the aircraft) and today installed the update into P3DV4.5 (I do not have P3DV5 installed). I am also seeing similar issues between the PMDG update, GFIT, and the Modules. Here's are some examples of what I've observed thus far: GFT8: - Assigned toggles seem to work…
  • Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply, but the command, "MOUSELEFTX2_WITH_OFF", did not work on the 747! Since the mouse clicks that work are "right" clicks, I decided to try the command "MOUSERIGHTX2_SLOW_WITH_OFFX2" and to my pleasant surprise it works perfectly! The visual effect is the APU Selector knob rotates to "ON", then…
  • My sympathies for your loss. ClaudeF
  • Thanks Steve, It works! I've successfully calibrated the TQ6 using the new version. (Although I do need to redo the flaps to position the lever exactly with the notches. With AXIS_FLAPS_SET only, it jumps from 20 to 30.) Claude
  • Thanks, Look forward to trying it! Claude
  • Hi Steve Just realized I can not use GIT to try calibrating the TQ6 until you release Ver 2.1.18.10 to include the missing 777X TQ6 events list. Claude
  • HI Steve, Thanks for the reply. Yes, something has changed and I'm trying to pinpoint it. 

I'm not sure if the TQ6 is disabled in GIT so I will check. This does raise another question. Which is "better", calibrating the TQ6 using GIT or using FSUIPC? It's time for me to re-read the GIT User Guides. Will keep you…
  • Hi Steve, I had a feeling that might be the issue. Not a big issue for me, but at least we know more. Thanks for the update, Claude

  • Thanks Steve, Will be interested in your findings. Claude

  • "OVERWING"? Well I suppose I might well have stumbled on that over time if I tried. ;-). Thanks! And we'll patiently await the next release.
  • Hello Steve, First, the GFIT Beta Ver. 2.1.2.0 works well and I've encountered only 2 relatively minor issues. 1) Cargo doors (all) - Thus far, I'm baffled. Can not get a LED to light correctly when the doors are either open or closed. (Not a problem with cabin doors). Any suggestions? 2) PMDG 777-300 - Opening and/or…
  • Mapping 500+ variables does not sound like the most "fun" thing to do. Your efforts are, however, most appreciated. - Claude
  • Good to know and thks! Claude
  • Steve, Thanks for the reply and I must apologize. Having now re-installed Beta 491 and looked more carefully, the answers to my TQ6 questions are there including the documentation ("Configuring GFTQ6 Axes"). I'm not sure what I was either looking at, for, or doing when I installed Ver 491 a few days ago and then…
