June 13, 201114 yr Has anyone set up multiple COM and NAV GoFlight modules? I just got one of their multiple units with the following modules all on one front panel (great looking piece of kit by the way). COM1 COM 2 NAV1 NAV2 XPDR Spare module (can use as DME) Multiple rotary knob and multiple push button module. In their setup program I can assign the function to each module easily as it shows the COM and NAV functions. However in the assignments for the actual push button below each LED display I am confused. If you look at their set up document here, for instance on the left display of the COM module the example shows the selection as ATC_WINDOW_POPUP and the right display as ATC_ACTION_1. I assume that if I assign ATC_WINDOW_POPUP to the left button and press it then the ATC window pops up on the computer monitor. However I've no idea what the functions of the left button do. Here are some of the options. ATC_ACTION_0 ATC_ACTION_2 ATC_ACTION_3 ATC_ACTION_4 ATC_ACTION_5 ATC_ACTION_6 ATC_ACTION_7 ATC_ACTION_8 ATC_ACTION_9 DME_IDENT_AUDIO NAV_FREQ_OBS_SEL ADF_XPDR_TOGGLE XPDR_VFR-SET ThanksAlan MB ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Z68; GPU nVIDIA GTX 570 ; CPU INTEL i7 2600K 3.4; MEMORY MUSHKIN 8GB; ANTEC KUHLER H20 620; WD VELOCIRAPTOR 600GB; WIN7 HOME PREMIUM 64BIT, SAMSUNG 34" 1080P TRACKiR 5 PRO FSX with SP1 and SP2; ORBX PF, PNW, NRM, CRM, AUS (BLUE, GOLD, GREEN, & RED, SP4), YBCS, YBBN

Here is what I have.AlanHelloVery Very nice, so basically four GF-166's and two GF-46's and an RP-48 in one unit.In that case you can use those left and right buttons for anything you like.Any of the functions in the relevant dropdowns in GFConfig, or using a registered FSuipc you can set them up for virtually any Sim command including lots that are not in the Sims joystick button configuration page, that is especially useful for the bottom unit (rp-48)as Fsuipc will let you map the rotaries and buttons to your aircrafts MCP or EfisYou have made the best investment possible for your Sim , I have never regretted for a moment buying my Goflight gear.Rock solid bits of kit and so versatile.
