I've got the same configuration and flying 3.29c with no problems. As with the other post I'll save a fresh copy of my profile. David

Back from overseas and starting to get back into flying again. Got 1 issue that I hope Steve will have an answer for, but apart from that the profile that I'm currently flying with still seems to be working Ok. Tonight I'll save a fresh copy of all the hardware profiles, zip them up and post them for Steve to update the…

Hi Steve, Had no issues with GIT 2.0.14.0 on x-plane. Thanks. David
-
Steve, Used Firefox and had no trouble accessing the sites. I'm getting rid of IE11. Thanks. David

Steve, Cleared the browser cache but no luck. I'm able to get to the shop.pollypotsoftware.org.uk sites (Products, Shop and MyAccount) but none of the others at www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk, but I can get to this forum site through google. Thanks. David

Hi Steve, Started to get this hacker attack a couple of days ago and have tried clearing the browser cache and cntrl-F5 but nothing seems to work. I've run virus scanning but nothing gets picked up. I get to this page through a google search link. Thanks. David

Hi Bo, Haven't looked at the Ultimate yet. Like flying the -800. I'll download it tonight and have a look over the weekend. David

Dave, Here are the commands to use. laminar/B738/switch/land_lights_ret_left_dn Landing Lights Retract Left Down laminar/B738/switch/land_lights_ret_left_up Landing Lights Retract Left Up laminar/B738/switch/land_lights_ret_right_dn Landing Lights Retract Right Down laminar/B738/switch/land_lights_ret_right_up Landing…

Hi John, The unit will run with Zibo B738 but will have limited functionality within the sim. The number of displays is the same between the MCP and the MCP-PRO so they would have the same mappings. Same number of rotaries so that would also map correctly. The difference is the number of buttons and what you want to assign…

Hi Martin I'm running 2.0.12.0 as well and am having no issues with starting XP11 first and then GIT. I've found the restart button problematic so if I need to restart I shut GIT down and start it back up again. Everybody's setup is different which makes tracking down issues like this frustrating. David

pablmas5, My apologies. I got it wrong. You don't need the datarefs.txt file at all. I was thinking of the DREDatarefs.txt file. I noticed your DRE Mimic Mode is a red cross. Have you get DatarefEditor plugin installed? David
-
Hi, I normally start x-plane first then when I've got the aircraft loaded I start GIT. In this instance I've done exactly as you have. GIT first and then X-Plane. Everything started as expected. It took about 4 mins to start x-plane and load the aircraft. See the attachment GIT_Capture_Normal for what the status page looks…

Hi Jonfly, Yes its should. I did a flight from YSSY to YPAD last night with 3.25B and it worked a treat. Only thing abnormal was that taxiing to the terminal, when I turned off the FD switches the speed light remained on. In flight it was fine. David
-
BlindMous3, I'm running Zibo's B737. Have had the same issue (but not with the A/T switch). The light for the FD switch sometimes doesn't come. Switch off and on again and it works. For me it's infrequent so I haven't worried about it. The buttons are also a little problematic. I've found adjusting the settings helps.…
-
Probably not. That was one of the first configs and I provided some updates in other threads. It's probably time I put a new version up. I'll get one to Steve over the weekend. Thanks.
-
Hi, Don't have a problem with the heading knob. I use the laminar/B738/autopilot/heading_up and laminar/B738/autopilot/heading_dn commands and the rotate action. David
-
Thanks Steve. I'll check it out.
-
Thanks Steve.

Hi Steve, The gear lever works as expected. The gear lights are not functioning correctly. (I've attached the exported XML file for the GF-LGT II). I use the /sim/aircraft/parts/acf_gear_deploy[0] for GEARLEFT, [1] for GEARNOSE and [2] for GEARRIGHT. These are the standard Default FS settings. As far as I can tell, Zibo…
-
Hi, I'm using the wrong terminology. I shouldn't have said event, it should be Input. I've attached a screenshot of the dropdown for the Input fields on the LGT tab. This is something that I should raise in the Product Suggestions thread. In terms of landing gear lights, I still have no lights when I turn power on. (I use…
-
Hi Steve, Some more information. When I turn the power on to the aircraft, my gear lights come on as red (or not at all). While you're looking at the GF-LGT, is it possible to get a GEAR-OFF event added. The device has an indent for the OFF position. Thanks. David
-
Hi Steve, Brilliant. IAS/Mach and V/S blanking correctly and AV_Enabled functioning correctly. Thanks so much. David
-
Thanks Steve. I'll try it tonight and provide feedback. David
-
Steve, Thanks for the investigation. When I first started to look at AV_Enabled I turned DatarefEditor on to have a look at the values and I thought that when I turned the power on for the aircraft the value of sim/cockpit2/electrical/bus_volts[0] changed from 0. I did a bit more playing, and as you suggested, have used…
-
Steve, That was dumb, copying and pasting XML. I use the FS Default Datarefs (sim/cockpit2/electrical/bus_volts[0] and sim/cockpit2/switches/avionics_power_on) Thanks. David
-
Hi Steve, I use the FS Default for both the Baron and the B738. <?xml version="1.0"?> - Thanks.
-
Hi Steve, Yes it was working a treat. David
-
Thanks Steve. I'll give it a go tonight. David
-
Hi Dutchdc3, Great news. I'll have a look at creating something for my profile. When I decided to go over to x-plane I looked around for something to enable my GoFlight devices and I tried other plugins before I literally stumbled across GIT. Best thing I did. Steve's program, from my point of view, is ahead of the pack,…
-
Hi Dutchdc3, No the EFIS baro is programmed. The only functionality on the aircraft that can't be done through the GF-EFIS module is the selecting of inHg and millibars. I assign those to other unused buttons. I use the laminar/B738/pilot/barometer_down & laminar/B738/pilot/barometer_up commands. After you start GIT open…
