  • Hi Steve I did a complete uninstall of both and then the new 2.26 and GFIT 18. Total lockup of GFIT as before. I even tried running with out the sim started and it still locked up. I can't check the log as program non responsive and I have to use task manager to close. I am running p3d v3 and I also have v2.5 installed.…
  • Hello Steve Is this something you think LM has to fix or will you be able to fix? I have sent you another donation for your efforts to get us over to p3d v3. Thanks Terry
  • Hi Steve After reading your post above I had not used GFIT with p3d v3 until today. I had to manually put an entry into the exe.dll for the go flight driver but after that I loaded the a2a c182 and everything I tested for GFIT worked ok? Is the simconnect problem you referred to only related to certain OS or modules or…
  • Hi Steve I am away from my computer for a couple of weeks. I will try when I return. Thank you for adding Terry
  • Hi Steve Your last comment did it. When you said 100 or 0 it told me I was using the wrong variable! I was trying to use a locked var with discrete 0/1 values. I switched after using deceive and finding three changing variables that changed from 0 to 100 as the gear comes down. Now the lights work perfect! Green when down…
  • Hi Steve Yes that is the way the lights are working. The lights are coming on and going off correctly. My problem is the lights a red rather than green. I am looking for a way similar to what's in the GF Config program to select the light color. The GF default is Green and there is a switch that allows you to select red?…
  • Hi Steve Yes I tried that but no change. I have set the GF config to no selection and am using custom events for the A2A Piper Comanche which has a three position switch. I have the gear and lights working as it should but just need to change the color from red to green. There is a selection in the GF config to swap colors…
  • Hi Steve They must have put it on a very slow boat? Thanks Terry
  • Oops I used a smiley face and it cut off the rest of my message. Is the rename just for the loaded aircraft or is it permanent across all aircraft? Or another way, is there a separate set of bespoke vars for each aircraft that is loaded? Thanks Terry
  • Hi Steve I see how I missed that one
  • Thanks Steve Terry
  • Hello Steve That was the problem. The gui showed the correct settings for goflight config but when I looked in the file it was totally different. I saved to a new file and everything works. There is no problem with gfit for this issue. Are you going to release a new ver for the DIO change? If not could you send me a beta…
  • Hello Steve Just looked at the GFC file and it has changed such that it dosent list all my modules any more? This is probably the problem. Have to leave now. Will test later
  • Hi Steve Sent to your email. Use the A2A C182. ThanksTerry
  • Yes I did. Am I is only one having this problem? Terry
  • Hello Steve I forgot to mention that it is not just the P8 but all modules being controlled by the goflight config.I did check to be sure the goflight exe is in the xml.exe file. ThanksTerry
  • Hi Steve The log is below. I loaded the c182 which has a lot of gfit setup and pushed the pause p8 button several times. I also used the park break switch which is programmed in gfit and it worked fine. Terry 14:57:07 GoFlight Connection Starting..... 14:57:07 SimConnect Connection Starting..... 14:57:08 GoFlight…
  • Hello Steve Do you think this will be fixable in the near term? If not, I can proceed with fsuipc. Thanks Terry

  • Hi Steve Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realize it was that different. Thanks Terry
  • Hi Steve Yes it shows up in windows as a game device just like the tq6. Thanks Terry

  • Hi Steve Problem solved. I had forgotten I was using parts of the SECM through the goflight config. I set that to compatible and all work. Thanks Terry
    in SECM Comment by terrydew June 2015
  • Hi Steve It happened again. I was working on a tq6 and I had just deleted two axis and went to close gfit and it locked up and I got the windows this program not responding message. I closed it and decided to check the file and sure enough the bespoke events had changed? Best I can tell the settings file was still ok. I…
  • Hi Steve I had just over written the bad file with the backup when I got you post. By the way this happened a couple of times before today but I thought I had just screwed up and selected the wrong var but now that I think back it was probably this issue. I am working on the Realair Duke T V2 for P3D. I will pay close…
  • Hi Steve I have one switch that activates a fuel pump and a second switch that selects between the main and backup pump. The led for both switches are driven by a fuel pressure var. The event driven by the second switch has no effect if it is changed before the first switch is activated but I would like to know the…
  • Hello Steve A short was indeed the problem. I was able to fix so on to next. Thanks Terry

  • Hi Steve I am not doing a good job of communicating. My real problem has nothing to do with the initial input events being on off hold and I am using the workaround. My real problem is once I have used the workaround and I have the 7 position events available for selector 1(the left knob) I assign a separate event to each…

  • Hello Steve Thanks for prompt reply. Please focus on the last paragraph of my previous post. This is the one that has me stopped. Thanks Terry

  • Hello Steve I am on the latest version 2.1.13. I was referring to the Input Event fields not the Input field. I also have three selections for the input two selector knobs and the center three way switch. All inputs show 7 input event choices position one through seven. The knobs only have four and the switch three. Also…

  • Hello Steve As update. The right hand (engine 2) switch appears to work ok. Is there something other than a bad switch that could cause this. Thanks Terry
    in Mesm Comment by terrydew May 2015
  • Hello Steve I believe I did but I couldn't swear to it. I have a bad case of trying to do to many new things at once. I have another question on events but I will start another thread. Thanks for your patience. Terry
