  • Hello, unfortunately it is not working with the Ifly B738M for me. Either the GFIT or the Ifly module is blocking the other, depending which starting first. Got the red flashing Aircraft LED in status tab or the Ifly is not responding with the bright red GF LED on. Nothing found during internet search to connect successful…
  • Hello Ray, at the moment everthing is working - except the mentioned items noted in other threads, e.g. the baro/in-hpa encoder at PMDG's.. - but for the future without support I have to check for alternates, since I have lot's of GF modules working. And the counter for installs count and count. Best regards Ralf
  • this was November 2024: admin_pps November 2024 ... I'm working on GIT for FS2024 tomorrow, so yes it has a future. I'm also working hard on GIT Visual Edition that will add other manufacturers hardware into the mix so GIT can remain viable long term. Best wishes Steve sorry to hear this now Ray - I'm asking myself to…
  • ...still the same behaviour: GFIT for PMDG has to be started prior MSFS, for all other after loading AC.
  • further tested and reinstalled PMDG's and GFIT. No help - if GFIT is started after PMDG AC is loaded - it will not work, for all other AC's it is ok. When I start GFIT prior starting MSFS, then GFIT is working with PMDG AC's correctly, GF status indicator is green all the time, and I can do a restart whenever needed in the…
  • Tested something and found GFIT working with non-PMDG planes (MD11 and Caravan for example) but not when starting with PMDG's. When after MSFS start with non-PMDG and then switching to B777 or B737 PMDG - these are working fine without issues. But can't start them initially, then same behaviour as above with same logfile.…
  • Looks like the option has been requested by others as PMDG have not included it in the MSFS version. See: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-2024-products-discussion/pmdg-777/general-discussion-aa/325702-efis-knobs-baro-mins-rotary-options OK, maybe it's on their list or not - in meantime do you…
  • Hello - MSFS 2020 is used and sorry - in PMDG B773 there is no option to set the EFIS DH and Baro to rotaries. Checked all the FMC menus without sucsess, is there another hint e.g in the cfg-file? In P3D EFIS was working as well as the B736 in MSFS 2020. Best regards Ralf
  • Hello Steve, thank you for information, then I'm waiting for GIT Visual Edition. Best regards Ralf
  • Hello, I have enabled EFIS CP e.g. for TFDI MD11 and it is working with bespoke events. It is partially not working in PMDG B777 for Baro and DH selectors... Best regards Ralf
  • from PMDG773ER_VC.xml all starting with L: could not be assigned or assigned with no function - see L:CAMinsKnob, L:CABaroKnob, L:LEFT_INBD_BRIGHT_CONTROL, L:RIGHT_PANEL_LIGHT_CONTROL for example. LUA does not know these lvars, giving fault messages to to all of them. Best regards Ralf
  • yes, found it too, the pages are online again, but my questions remaining. Best regard Ralf
  • sorry to bring this item back again - PMDG B77W EFIS Mins and Baro rotaries doesn't work, neither at EFIS nor at assigned GF-RP48 rotary. How can I assing the 1/-1 (>L:CABaroKnob and L:CAMinsKnob) to a bespoke event since detective is not working in PMDG B77W? Best regards
  • Hello Steve, can you tell us more about planned GIT Visual Edition? Best regards Ralf

  • Hi Rob, thanks for responding, loving Portland and it's vicinity, the rosegarden and the Shining Hotel at Mt. Hood, what a wonderful landscape around - and the former Goflight facility nearby. Unfortunately it's impractical to ship the module around half of the world, to your price - which ist more than fair - adding…
  • Hello Rob, is the EFIS module still available and what is your location? Best regards
  • Hello Steve, thank you for this input, will try it out with the blank_equals out of range method. Best regards Ralf
  • no, not found so far, mode activation by means of S_FCU_HEADING as toggle (add 1 or subtract 1) and HDG value manual increase/decrease is with E_FCU_HEADING (incr/decr), indication then is N_FCU_HEADING. I think, it's straight from ProFlight wich is in use by Fenix as system software. If I could find a status variable for…
  • sorry for late respond, meaning blanking display in managed mode and display values in manual mode. Best regards
  • since last fenix update use of N_FCU_ALTITUDE / HEADING / VS / IAS for manual display modes is working, unfortunately I have no idea, how to blendout display if managed mode is pushed.
  • Hello, I have the bespoke without if-then-else or case function - only two times the Lvar value +1 with a sleep 50 cmd in between - meaning button will be toggled at my MCPPro, assigned to CWS pushbuttons for LH and RH LS, see LH for example: SetInc S_FCU_EFIS1_LS +1 Sleep 50 SetInc S_FCU_EFIS1_LS +1 Best regards Ralf
  • Hi, first of all you have to "translate" the Boeing MCP into an Airbus FCU, meaning define what is the nearest to Boeings LNAV/VNAV, LVL CHG or managed / manual modes at the other side of the pond... a little help is the overlay for the GF MCPPRO for Airbus Style FCU available at flightsim.to. Then you can easily assign…
  • Hello Steve, in meantime have found via developer/behavior tool the MFD H:vars, for range selector, I'm using H:AS01B_MFD_1_Range_INC / DEC, it's working perfect. Thank you for your help, and btw what is the status of your new GFIT? Best regards Ralf
  • Hi Steve, set the related Lvars (7X7X...) manually to KnownLvars.xml and checked with XML Notepad, no errors. After Starting MSFS and GIT and LUA code assignement, the Lvars were wiped out of the KnownLvars.xml file. The Lvars are not visible in LUA console and the error message is the same as above, it is not working. For…
  • Hi Steve, i will do this and comming back and will read a little in the lua-help description of course. Best regards Ralf
  • Hi Steve, something I'm doing wrong it seems - got lua error unknown lvar name all the time, also for known lvars: Lua Connected! Lua Error Code 1: Running File C:\USERS\xyz\DOCUMENTS\GOFLIGHT INTERFACE TOOL\LUA\PMDG 737\CHECK_OUTPUT.LUA Error: ...TS\GOFLIGHT INTERFACE TOOL\LUA\PMDG 737\CHECK_OUTPUT.LUA:1: getlvar: C++…
  • Hi Steve, thank you for your help, unfortunately it doesn't work. I've copied the code into the PMDG global_aircraft.lua and checked the content with notepad. Then I've set the light with ON/1 to Bespoke Var 99 and restarted all include PC. The light is always illuminated independent upon switching or releasing external…
  • Ok, have checked LUA example, but at the moment the syntax is out of my capability, what I have found out in developer mode is the logic behind used in PMDG B737: if "7X7X_Ground_Power_Light_Connected" is = 0 and "7X7X_Power_Door is = 1" then "7X7X_Ground_Power_Light_NotInUse" is = 1 //External Power Off but Connected else…
  • Hi Steve, thank your for your fast respond, unfortunately the DATA_FWDOH_ELEC_LIGHT_GROUND_POWER is only the equivalent to 7X7X_Ground_Power_Light_Connected, the other 7X7X_Ground_Power_Light_NotInUse has no Lvar in PMDG SDK. It's technically the information for the ground crew to not disconnect External Power Connector…
  • in meantime I've got it to work, using a bespoke event with: SendClient H:AS1000_MFD_RANGE_INC and ... RANGE_DEC and assigned to a GFRP-48 rotary, could also be modified for PFD. Now looking for the Softkeys of G1000... Best regards Ralf
