February 27, 201214 yr Have posted this on thwe GoFlight forum... but perhaps someone here has encountered this problem:I have been running (6) GoFlight modules and a TQ6 for quite some time without any issues until now....Out of the blue my MCP started to cycle through all displays and shut down when a flight is loaded.It initializes fine and all displays / lights work when FSX is started... but then it cycles off when a flight is loaded. (same issue with both Default and add-on A/C)I can get the CRS + HDG functions to work after that... but not the ALT setting....It just wants to keep cycling itself off.All my other modules are working fine. Only new addition is Accu-Feel, but other users on the A2A forum are running GoFlight modules without any issues.Renamed the (2) A2A .dll files to see if there was a conflict... but still have the same 'Ghost'Any thoughts would be appreciated.Rick / Canada
February 27, 201214 yr If you are using LINDA make sure you haven't enabled the VR MCP support it will make the Goflight MCP go crazy.Also check no Mcp LUA scripts are running. Stephen Munn
February 27, 201214 yr Author Appreciate your reply Steveo...But I'm afraid you're obviously more experienced than I am...I'm not familiar with and have no idea what "LINDA" is... so I don't think that's the issue.Also, not sure how to check for "MCP LUA scripts" running...Perhaps you could provide some additional information.Thanks !!!!!
February 27, 201214 yr Make sure your GoFlight modules are plugged into your PC's USB ports, or if into ahub, that the hub is powered.What could be happening is as FSX enters the flight mode, the GoFlight module LEDs light, thus drawing current and lowering the voltage, causing the odules to reset.If you need a powered hub, the D-Link 7-port is excellent! (here, includes a status LED for each port).Cheers,- jahman.
February 27, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the thoughts jahman !That explanation makes a lot of sense considering what it's doing.I'm already running all the modules off a Belkin powered hub.I was thinking it might be a "power issue"... but didn't think it was relevant because of the HUB.However... I was playing with my power options in Control Panel to set my monitor off time and I think I inadvertently switched it from "High Performance" to a lower plan.Do you know if that would that have an affect on the power through the USB hub ???
February 27, 201214 yr Author Thanks again jahman...For steering back in the right direction... ie: 'power' to the MCP unitSwitched the power option in the Control Panel back to "High Performance" and the MCP 'Ghost' is gone ! Also thanks to steveo...I did some research on L.I.N.D.A. and It appears to be a 'no-brainer' solution to get my PMDG J-41 working with GoFlight modules.You Guys are the BEST !!Rick / Canada
February 27, 201214 yr HelloSteve is probably too modest to point you to his Goflight NGX and J41 Lua scripts which work perfectly.Available in the Avsim librarymcpproj41apv2.zipgoflight_efis_and_mcp_pro_interface_for_the_pmdg_ngx.zip
February 27, 201214 yr Switched the power option in the Control Panel back to "High Performance" and the MCP 'Ghost' is gone !Glad to hear you got it sorted out!Cheers,- jahman.
