Hi Dutchdc3, Sounds like you're really close. I'm assuming you've gone to the MCPPRO tab and tried to import from there. It's probably highlighted the fact that I should do up an installation sheet so you guys aren't guessing on what I've done. In this release I've added some bespoke events and variables so the best (maybe…

Scott, Understand how frustrating this is. From my experience GIT has been way ahead of other tools for programming and setting up the GoFlight hardware. GoFlightInc hasn't been all that responsive by the look at their Community Forums. Either that or nobody posts anything on the forums. I don't have half the equipment you…

Thanks klosurdo. Much appreciated. After Steve has provided an update and I've done some testing, I'll ask Steve to upload the new profile onto the download page. David

Hi Justin, Can't help you with the key issue (which I'm sure Steve will) but if the import didn't work then it's unlikely the device imports will work. Which version of Zibo's mod have you installed? The profile on the GIT download page is for version 3.06r or earlier. I started a new thread for the Zibo 3.10 or greater…

Thanks Steve. I'll keep an eye out for it. David

Hi, I've been flying with the latest Zibo versions now for a while and they're just fantastic. I purchased 2 new powered USB 2.0 hubs and, touch wood, the GF-166's seem to be behaving themselves. In terms of the profile, I'm only working on the version for the latest Zibo mod (currently 3.20b). The changes are: -…

Hi Steve, Thanks for the update. Whenever you get the chance is good enough for me. I've received my 2 new USB 2.0 power hubs so it will give me chance to see if they make a difference for the GF-166 devices on separate hub devices. IAS display is the only issue but it's not stopping me from flying. This is a great tool…
-
Hi Jon, Am in the middle of updating the profile. I'm adding some features to blank out the IAS and V/S where appropriate but have hit a bit of a snag. The displays don't want to behave when changing pitch mode. Steve is looking at this at the moment so am waiting to hear back from him after he's had a chance to…

Thanks Steve. Ken, I'm glad it's solved one of your problems. Have had trouble sourcing a new USB 2.0 hub from local shops where I am in Australia, so I've ordered it online from the US. Take about 1-2 weeks to get here. I'm hoping to have the same results as yourself. (Ordered the same ones). David
-
Hi Ken, I have dual GF-166 units set up for Com/Nav and I've experienced issues with them also, although not to the extent that you are having. One thing to check first would be that GIT is recognising 2 units. What is displayed on the status page for GF-166? Might indicate USB connection issues. (USB 2.0 ports) I have…
-
Good news. Zibo added new commands for the heading rotary. Once a final release comes out for the B737 I'll provide an updated zip to Steve to load onto the download page. One thing still outstanding is the V-speed display and IAS/Mach display during VNAV. My units display what the autopilot is selecting but the displays…
-
Hi, I'm assuming that you've installed Zibo's 3.10o alpha aircraft, but the steps are the same for all versions. The files may change. Each of the GoFlight device types (ie MCPPRO, EFIS, GF-46, GF-166 etc) can be exported individually, which can then be imported again at any time. The standard directory is…

Hi Scott, Been using Win10 and GIT 1.9.1.0 now for quite a while and works well. I see 1.9.2.1 is now out for x-plane. I'll have to download it and try it out. David
-
Hi Jon, It's not so much the new datarefs, but Zibo has also created some new commands. As Zibo's work is still a 'work in progress', he hasn't updated the command or dataref files as yet. I've had a look around the lua scripts and have done up a new command file, DREDatarefs file and MCPPRO xml file. These files only work…
-
Have successfully tested with Zibo's Boeing B738-800X 3.05g and GIT 1.9.0.0. Thanks.
-
Martin, I've done a flight with B738X 2.98d and have just downloaded 2.98f. Should work ok. The most important piece that needs to be in place before you start GIT is the Commands.txt file. You must copy that to the aircraft\Boeing B738-800X directory. The file that's in the zip is from version 2.97 but will still work…
-
pilotincmd, Are you flying Zibo's Boeing B738-800 modified version ? (http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/111305-boeing-b738-800-modified/). I've mapped the GF-MCP Pro, GF-EFIS, 2x GF-166 (Com and Nav) and the GF-LGT II. The only problem I have is the map mode position switch. The mode changes in the MFD but…
-
Hi Steve, Downloaded the new version, deleted the ...\Documents\GoFlight Interface Tool directory and started fresh. Works like a charm with one exception. The lights for the buttons and toggles are all working correctly. Thank you for the fix. The map mode partially works. Changing from APP through PLN changes the MFD in…
-
Thanks Slayer. I'm just waiting for Steve to investigate and see what he finds.
-
Thanks Steve. The B738-800X (Zibo) is version 2.62 at http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/111305-boeing-b738-800-modified/ (first page has links).

Hi Martin, Yes I've been trying to build a configuration for the B738-800X Zibo mod. I'm at the stage where I've got most of the switches, buttons and toggles working, but there are two things still outstanding. One is the map_mode on the GF_EFIS in that the position switch operates the MFD correctly but the switch doesn't…
-
Martin, If you make a copy of the file B738_Commands.txt and rename the copy to Commands.txt, when you next restart GIT the commands should be available. David

Hi Justin, I'm trying to configure the Boeing B738-800 in x-plane 11 (Zibo) and have most of it done. Having problems with lights on the buttons, but that's another thread. I use the sim/autopilot/altitude_up and sim/autopilot/altitude_down commands for the ROTATE_ALTITUDE input. It increments/decrements by 100. Let us…
-
Thanks Steve. I removed all the plugins just to be on the safe side. Still nothing though. In the Detective I only have the laminar/B738/autopilot/... datarefs visible (top right box) but when I press the buttons I can see the animation happening in the sim but nothing shows up in Detective. The laminar/B738/.. datarefs…
-
Hi Steve, Thanks for your comments. I tried toggling the A/T Arm switch, to no avail. When the switch is in the up position the dataref .../autothrottle_status remains 1. Went back to the Detective to try and find out some more information. It's what I didn't find that is more interesting. I hid all the standard datarefs…
-
Hi Steve, Apart from the previous issue around the map_mode position rotation knob (which I still don't have a clue), I've managed to get the rest of the EFIS and MCP programmed to function correctly. Thank you for the tip on using commands and not just datarefs. The issue I still have, and I don't know if it's a GIT issue…
-
Hi Steve, The bespoke dataref is call "laminar/B738/EFIS_control/capt/map_mode_pos". I'm able to change it in the DatarefEditor so if I change it to a 2 the dataref retains the value of 2, the knob rotates to MAP but the dataref sim/cockpit2/EFIS/map_mode does not change. Changing sim/.../map_mode changes the MFD but has…

I've attached the xml files. David
