@Kenw , nowhere in your posts do I see how you’ve connected your GoFlight units to your computer. Here’s what I did and all 8 operate perfectly. I bought this from Amazon. Xiatiaosann 2 Pack 2 Port USB 2.0 Rear Panel Expansion Bracket. It connects to USB2 Header on my mobo. No modern mobos have USB2 ports so you have to…

It’s important to keep the devices plugged into the same USB ports. Best achieved by using a powered USB hub with a single connection to the motherboard. The alternative is to edit the xml files and swap 0 to 1 and vice versa.
-
The file you need to check the MCP Pro is working correctly and shows the firmware version is named MCPProChkA25.zip I can't see it in the Download section. Perhaps Steve @admin_pps could advise.
-
There’s a program you can use to check firmware for the MCP. I’ll post details tomorrow.
-
I could be wrong but I believe only GoFlight can flash firmware updates. What version do you have? A25 is okay plus anything higher.
-
Yes, they’ve shut up shop permanently. Steve’s software is excellent with the GoFlight hardware. Even with a new PC with no USB2 ports I purchased an adapter that connects to the USB2 headers on my mobo. Then using a powered USB hub all my GoFlight units work fine in P3D.
-
I guessed it might be health related. Sorry to hear that Steve. Hope you’re feeling better. I am launching GIT via SimStarterNG at the same time as P3D. It sits there waiting to read the aircraft type. The SimConnect LED changes from green to yellow. But that’s only temporary. When the scenario screen is displayed I select…
-
Are you there @admin_pps ?
-
Jens, good luck. It may be that the connection to the mobo works best with a USB2 interface. Your USB2 hub will be okay.
-
Hi Steve. Are you getting close to releasing a new version that will allow me to launch GIT via SimStarterNG instead of manually?
-
@GF_86 , I bought a new Chillblast PC in October and with 6 GoFlight units plus the MCPPro and EICAS unit I needed to ensure they would be recognised by Windows with zero issues. The Asus motherboard has no USB2 ports but does have USB2 headers. So I asked Chillblast to get one of these and install it. They bought it from…
-
Understood Steve. Thanks for letting me know. :)
-
Hi Steve. How is the update going? Ready for release yet?
-
Thanks Steve. I'm never sure if you have a daytime job taking up your time or still recovering from illness. I'll bide my time. :)
-
Hi Steve, whilst I can workaround this problem by starting GIT manually at the Scenario screen a permanent resolution would be preferred allowing me to start GIT automatically via SimStarterNG.
-
Hi Steve, Here's the results of this morning's tests. 1) I started GIT first. 2) Then started P3D. GIT went through various LED stages but when I selected the Learjet in the Scenario window GIT loaded the aircraft profile. When P3D was fully running the engines were running and my switch settings weren't read. I checked…
-
Hi Steve. Thanks for your replies. Being able to reproduce the problem is great. I don’t have my computer on at present but from memory the following files are loaded via dll.xml and exe.xml from the ones in myname\appdata\roaming\LM\Prepar3Dv5… GIT interface.dll and GoFlightP3Dv4.exe. I’m guessing the first is yours to…
-
Steve, One thing that baffles me. If the green SimConnect LED is flashing green why does the log say "Waiting for SimConnect"? I have other programs that require SimConnect. SODE, ASP3D and ChasePlane. All are working correctly but GIT is the only one that isn't. Could you consider providing a facility to allow the user to…
-
Steve, no, that not the situation. I manually launch P3D and at the scenario screen choose my aircraft. I have programmed actions for it created in GIT. I then hit OK and the sim continues loading and eventually is ready with my chosen aircraft on the runway. During that time the entries in add-ons.xml, exe.xml and dll.xml…
-
Hi Steve. Have you had any thoughts why GIT will not perform a handshake with my chosen aircraft in P3D when launched manually? It’s baffling why it fails to work when launched manually but is fine when launched via SimStarterNG. Another issue is P3D won’t close cleanly when I exit it on a manual start. No such problems…
-
I extracted the files to the P3Dv5\Modules folder but the error message persisted. I then moved them to the folder containing FSUIPC6.dll and that fixed the FSUIPC problem.
-
Thanks Steve. I’ll install the fix tomorrow. Look forward to hearing how you got on. Would it help if I zipped up my DLL.xml and exe.xml files plus any others you feel might be relevant? I couldn’t get SODE to show a successful test from within P3D add-on menu. Then I discovered it was v1.80 which can cause issues with…
-
I spoke too soon Steve. Another manual start with the Lear 25 selected resulted in no connection. I logged SimConnect and the results are attached. Once the aircraft was loaded and I was inside the VC I started GIT. Can you deduce anything from the log? When I terminated P3D it hung so I had to terminate the process via…
-
Okay Steve, I may have discovered the problem. Because I wanted to keep core 0 free for the OS I used core 6 for the MainThreadSchedule in the cfg file. I've now changed it back to 0 and launched P3D manually, waited until I was in the VC and then launched GIT. It connected first time and as I changed to two different…
-
I am Steve. What made you think I wasn't? Just tried a manual start of GIT with the PC12. No go. GIT just says GENERIC for MODE and None for aircraft despite entries for the PC12 existing in Setttings.xml. Can you do a more detailed log showing why the aircraft is not being picked up? What's with the FSUIPC Connection…
-
Mornin' Steve. Here's the log. I started P3D manually with the PMDG737-800 selected at the Scenario screen. Then with P3D fully loaded I manually launched GIT. 10:05:12 GoFlight Connection Starting..... 10:05:12 SimConnect Connection Starting..... 10:05:13 SimConnect Message Processing Started 10:05:13 GoFlight Connection…
-
Will do Steve, thanks. I’ll do it tomorrow since it’s easily reproduced.
-
Hi Steve. It’s a relief to hear from you. I was hoping it was just a long holiday or perhaps illness and nothing more serious. I do have one issue when starting things manually as opposed to using SimStarterNG. That program is just a way of launching multiple executables to ease the workload. GIT connects fine and shows my…
-
I’ve finally resolved this but it was far from straightforward. It seems this release can support 0.025 frequencies on COM. I don’t really need this but thought the process might be editable. I opened GIT and selected the 166 tab. Then selected device 0 and chose enable. When I pressed COM a message appeared saying to…
-
Steve, firstly I hope you're okay as it's unusual for you not to respond within a few hours. I appear to have solved my problems with GIT and SimConnect. Quite how remains a mystery but for now everything is back to normal.
