hello

i need a bit of help please with my goflight mcp pro autopilot, i cant get it to work with the pmdg 737ngx for fsx

dose anyone know of a fix for this

thanks for any help

Look for a program called goflight_pmdg_interface_1-0-87-0.zip from Steve Munn here on Avsim. It's free and works very well and the enclosed directions walk you through it.

thanks for the help Kevin

I have the goflight pmdg interface loaded, and its a great bit of software it dose work with ngx so it is flyable , what I cant seem to get working is getting the displays on the mcp pro to show the same readout as the ngx displays, hdg alt etc there not even close, I have tried the millisecond sliders in the interface but I haven't found a way around it yet

what I cant seem to get working is getting the displays on the mcp pro to show the same readout as the ngx displays

 

Hello

What have you got the MCP set to in the GFconfig program

From the documentation, apologies if you have already done this

 

4) If you haven’t already, using GFConfig, create and save a Goflight configuration file for the PMDG

NGX so that the MCP PRO and EFIS are set to “Compatible Add-On”. For MCP (not PRO) users, set

the mode of operation to a 3

rd

party plane such as the Level D. This is very important because

otherwise FSX will attempt to write to the device and mess things up. E.g.

hi

I have the mcp pro so I have gf cfg set to mcp pro = compatible add-on, sim info = microsoft flight simulator x

options = flash gf45

flash gf46

blank displays on exit

show control selection using displays & leds

now I hadn't saved this as a separate file as I check this before I load fsx, but I have saved this now and called it ngx & will load it from gf-cfg I will try it tomorrow night and let you know what happens

thanks for the help

Sounds like you have something else updating the displays. Make sure you don't have any LUA scripts or LINDA running with MCP support enabled. Having GFConfig running a configuration that has the MCP PRO set to compatiable add-on is very important.

 

A newer version of the software is here:

OK

I installed the newer version of the software and the displays were frozen they stayed on 0 and didn't move ,

the auto pilot has been getting increasingly flaky with the pmdg 737 & now I cant engage the auto pilot without clicking furiously with the mouse on the button in virtual cockpit intrestingy i can usualy engage it on the ground ?

I cant fly the 737 without a auto pilot so has any one got any ideas,

I have tried reinstalling pmdg, & uninstalling the gfpmdg software, & even uninstalling the goflight software altogether but nothing works :Cry:

You need to first make sure it works with the Default 737.

hi

yep the default fsx 737 works i am useing the vurtual cocpit autopilot with the default 737 & its easy click on click off as many times as i like,

but as soon as i start using pmdg the autopilot is unusable as i cant engage it, i can set it with alt hdg speed etc but i cant get the engage button to work ?

i have given up useing the goflight mcp altogether at the moment. im just useing the mouse

You also need to make sure your PMDG AC is patched to the latest version.

Try the following:

 

1) run Windows Update and ensure you have all the .NET Framework updates installed

2) Check the log and report back any errors and the state of the status lights

3) Open (using notepad) the file called 737NGX_Options.ini in <flight sim directory>PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX and ensure that the following is present (if not add/amend and save):

 

[sDK]

EnableDataBroadcast=1

 

4) Try starting the interface after the NGX has loaded.

 

5) Uninstall and reinstall the NGX, ensuring that you have SP1c installed.
