  • Steve, Quick update. The “not exactly” question above has been fixed by unchecking the “Enable Controllers” box in P3D (not GIT-related anyway). My LGT ll question regarding rotary knob trims is still in question. Thanks, Terry
  • Steve, Surprisingly, everything is now working and it was a simple fix. I have two 10-port powered USB hubs. All my GF hardware is plugged into one and everything else is plugged into the other. I simply swapped the ports that the powered ports were plugged into. Strange but simple fix. I do have a couple of lingering…
  • Steve, There only appears to be one such entry in dll.xml. Picture attached. Incidentally, in that folder there are three files I’ve never noticed before: dll.xml.GIT0, dll.xml.GIT1, and dll.xml.GIT2. Assuming those should be there. I tried unplug/replugging in hardware this morning and for the first time got the MCPPRO…
  • Thanks Steve, I was trying to do that with the mouse and couldn't make it happen. Log attached. Standing by. Thanks, Terry
  • Steve, I'm home and on "staycation" for the next 10 days. I do have the above-mentioned DLLs in my GoFlight directory. Still looking for how to post log (yeah, I'm that thick😉). Thanks, Terry
  • Hi Steve, I’m actually on a trip at the moment and will be home on Sunday night. I AM running the latest 64bit version of GIT (4.5.1.2 if I remember correctly) for P3D and the above-mentioned DLLs are present. So that I’m sure I’m not wasting time once home, how do I extract the log? Copy and paste? Incidentally since my…
  • Steve, Thanks for resetting the install count for me the other day. As always seems to be the case with the installation of any new GIT version, I seem to be right back to square 1 with hardware not working. DoOver2021;-) I have the MCP PRO, EFIS (2x) and LGT ll. I’ve uninstalled everything including the GF Config and…
  • Steve, It’s that time for me in which I drag out the manuals and start getting ready for recurrent 737 training to maintain employment with my airline. Given previous frustrations mentioned above, I had dismantled all my GoFlight hardware and decided to sell it. I was very surprised to get no offers, not even a single…
  • Thanks Steve. I just looked back over my history of support requests on this forum and found that I've had trouble with EVERY version of P3D/FSX/GIT since February 2015. It actually goes back further than that to when Lefteris provided the GF interface (which was hideously expensive). I have spent considerably more time…
  • Hi Steve, I hung it up with GIT and the PMDG 737 for a while. I'm coming up on more than 2 years since my GF MCP Pro and 2 EFIS Control Panels have worked. I started attempting getting it running again, including your suggestion above (32bit version) and still nothing works. I DID get ONE FD Switch to work, but only once.…
  • Steve, Our last discussion here was March 6th. A new long distance relationship which started that same month has consumed nearly all my free time and seen me spending most of my time at her home in Dallas. However, I recently started trying to get GIT working again but with absolutely no luck. I’m using the latest 64bit…
  • Thanks Steve, Yes, using 64bit version. I have training coming up in April and use this hardware to prep. Will keep an eye out for new version. Thanks, as always, for your fast response! Regards, Terry PS....I got to fly one of our new 737 MAX-8s last week. Nice machine!
  • Thanks Steve. I certainly understand your frustration regarding LM. When P3Dv3 was released and LM announced that the new version would require a full-price purchase for all previous users, I decided that I wouldn’t buy another version until a 64-bit version came out. V4 was released and I bit the bullet. I’m very happy…
  • Steve, I have been quite busy with my job as a 737 pilot lately and haven’t spent much time with the PMDG 737 or the latest version of GIT. I am between trips today, leaving in about an hour for another 3 day trip. I spent some time this afternoon uninstalling/reinstalling GF Config and the latest GIT version and, as has…
  • Steve, One step forward, one step back. GIT is working beautifully with NGX. However, that's only airplane anything GF is working with! I've tried running GFConfig only with the Baron, with and without the GIT, data bridge on and off. Nothing. I've shut everything down, restarted and cold-booted the computer. Again,…
  • Everything IS set to Compatible Add-On in GFConfig. Always was. Just so I'm clear, please refresh my memory on turning data bridge OFF. On previous machine, I simply exited the GFConfig after everything was running. Doing this on new machine shuts down all GF hardware. I was unaware Detective would enable with PMDG. Makes…
  • I finally got some time to spend working on my new sim machine issues yesterday after tackling several house projects. I was up until 2am. I got everything working but not as well as it did under Win7 and P3Dv2.5 (new machine is Win10 and P3Dv4). Here's where I'm at with it: 1. The latest GFConfig software won't retain the…
  • I THINK I tried ENABLED with no success. I'll try that again after breakfast and report back. Thanks Steve!
  • Well.....success! I checked a couple of settings under .NET FRAMEWORK and also wound up having to check Device 0 and AV ENABLED on the MCP PRO tab of the GIT. With the GF Config running concurrently, my EFIS and LGT II panels work even better than they did on my old computer (rudder trim never worked correctly). The GIT…
  • Went through all of that this afternoon. Both EFIS units seem to be working. MCP and LGT II are not. The LEDs all light up when units selected in GF Config. There was mention in the post about FSUIPC. I AM running FSUIPC 5. The post mentioned it being compatible with certain settings. Is it even necessary? If so, what…
  • BTW, GF hardware is NOT working with FS Default/stock P3Dv4 aircraft. All green lights showing on GIT when started. Detective button IS visible and tabs can be opened.
  • NGX Version 1.20.8443
  • Yes it does. Got a lunch meeting in about an hour so I only had a few minutes to check this. I'll have all afternoon after that. Quick question before I proceed. I'm new to Win10 simming. P3Dv4 installed to PROGRAM FILES (NOT Program Files (x86)). Is that OK? Also, I reinstalled everything GoFlight on a different drive…
  • Hi Steve, It was a self-induced issue. All is well! Thanks again! Terry PS...great difficulty usng your forums on an iPad!
  • Hey Steve, Just as a side note, my guys showed up for the session at noon. For some strange reason, the gear switch didn't work at all after shotting down and restarting my machine! Thank goodness for the G key! I never had a minute's trouble with the old GoFlight PMDG Interface and may go back to it if I didn't delete it.…
  • Steve, I did disable the LGT in GIT and got the best result that way. The trims don't work quite like the real jet but are easier to control for simulation purposes. The thing that had me thrown off the most was having to minimize FSX in order to change data on the tabs. With that discovery, I will play with settings and…
  • Steve, That worked! However, with the data bridge turned off I have a new problem. The gear doesn't work correctly. It only works UP and DOWN with the switch in the UP or OFF position. The drop down menu for that on the LGT tab only have an UP and DOWN selection, no OFF selection. Would it be possible to disable the LGT II…
  • Steve, Is there a way I can send you a picture of this tab? The LGT, MCPPRO and EFIS tabs are only selectable while IN the NGX virtual cockpit, so I have already tried what you asked me to do above. when selected, these tabs are completely grayed out. Nothing on them is selectable. I've clicked on everything. If I sound…
  • Steve, <<Its normal for the MCP PRO, EFIS and LGT to be blank when using the NGX or 777 as they are pre-programmed.>> I am unable to access anything on the LGT tab. The tabs are only selectable when the NGX is loaded and, as mentioned above, the data on the tab is grayed out and unselectable. I thought I might be able to…
  • Hi again Steve, Here's where I'm am at the moment. Turning off the GFConfig data bridge allows the flap switch to function correctly. In a strange twist, the function of the aileron and rudder trims function closer to the actual airplane (I fly the 737-800 for a living). Rolling the LGT II aileron trim in either direction…
