Thanks Steve, Got it and will test tonight.

Hi Steve - latest build keeps resetting my EFIS controls to blank/disabled....I have to re-enable them each time I run the app. Going back to previous build (dated 4/27 BETA2). At this time, I don't bother using the two RF48s or P8, and I use the GConfig software to configure my two T8 modules.

 

Thanks for your hard work and keeping me in the loop w/each release!

Hi Jim

 

I acknowledge that you now have to pick a device on the EFIS tab for the tab to become enabled, but are your devices actually disabled? Just because the tab is greyed out doesn't mean they are disabled.

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve - no, I just have to pick both of them each time, which is a bit of a nuisance...preferred them to stay "active" once set that way from the initial setup.

 

Thanks,

Jim

All good now thanks Steve.

Any chance we will revert to "set & forget" or is picking them each time just a fact of life?

Jim,

Using this for the T8's is way better than GF software for me.

Ok, Jim I think I know whats happened. The EFIS code has been rewritten so it now uses the same generic classes and routines as the T8's, P8's etc in preperation for making the interface support the 777 and 747. The EFIS Config property is not updating the underpinning device state, which is easily fixed. I'll issue a new version this evening.

If you mean the saved configuation settings, it is set and forget. The problem is because its beta code and the underpinning stuff is changing a fair bit in readiness to support the 777 and 747 and this keeps making your old settings file invalid.

Ah that all makes sense Steve,no biggie anyway.. just super happy the goflight can be used now

Hi Steve,

Just noticed on the last build you sent me, on the MCP the left hand F/D & A/T Arm lights are reversed, that is the light comes on when the switches are in the "off" position.

Hi Graham,

 

Its already fixed. The FD lights were not correct in any previous build. I hadn't noticed that both FD lights are never on in the NGX. I now read the actual NGX FD light and not the switch state, so all is good and correct now. I'll be issuing a new version shortly, hopefully with MCP support as well.

 

Best wishes

Steve

 

Steve:

Any hopes the mcp (not the pro) will be supported?

 

Thanks

Chemanuel

 

Hi Chemanuel,

 

I have an Alpha release of code that now supports the MCP. Do you care to try it out and help me debug the code?

 

Thx

Steve

[Braniff002 5]

Sweet, thanks Steve.

[Chemanuel 8]

Hi Steve, YES! it will be a pleasure, just let me know how can I get it.

 

thanks,

Chemanuel

Hi,

 

Does anyone own a WP6 and fancy alpha testing my interface on it?

 

Thanks

Update 5: 5/5/2010

 

 

Beta 3 has just been uploaded to the Avsim file library. Key improvements:

 

- Core code has been rewritten with generic classes in readiness for integrating with the 777 and 747

- MESM support

- EFIS data available for lighting events;

- Parking Brake light available for lighting events;

- MOUSE action events are ignored when switches are synced on T8's so that NGX switch state is maintained;

- Fixed deadlock situation if GoFlight Worker Thread fails;

- Fixed array out of bound error for MCP owners;

- Fixed MCP activity detection;

- Log tab goes bold when new logging events occur;

- WP6 support added (not tested)

- Error reporting added for model view;

- Fixed RP48 not responding issue;

- Fixed settings not being restored after restart;

- Numerous other fixes and optimisations.

Hello Steve

Attempts to copy the user.config settings from Beta 2 were unsuccessful. Guess this is part of the "joy" of Betas.

Future versions will be fine though. Its because the data types changed whilst I recoded things ready for the 747 and 777.
