Anyone got Goflight modules working yet?

[z06z33 781]

I have it setup but the goflight app never starts when I start P3dv3

I have..they work exactly as P3D V2.x check your entries in exe.xml and dll.xml 

 

or manually run GFDevFSX.exe

I have the code in the dll.xml but can't fined exe.xml.  What folder is it in?

It didn't get created yet because no addon needed it yet. Goflight doesn't need the exe.xml

[z06z33 781]

I have it in the DLL.XML but it doesn't load.

[Glynn 405]

It needs to be in the exe.xml, like so

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

<Launch.Addon>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Name>GoFlight Hardware Interface</Name>
    <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\GoFlight\GFDevFSX.exe</Path>
    <CommandLine>
    </CommandLine>
  </Launch.Addon>

</SimBase.Document>

Only one problem… My EXE.XML will not execute anymore ever since I moved to windows 10… Any ideas?

Same folder you found the dll.xml

Does the GFDevFSX.exe data bridge launch manually, if it does then run it via Fsuipc's run command.

 

 

 

If that won't work hopefully you've still got your Win7 DVD ?

[Slayer 190]

I don't think GFconfig driver installer has been updated to add the entries for P3Dv3 yet.  So the exe.xml will not get updated.

 

If you use Goflight Interface Tool though it doesn't even need the data bridge to work, the data bridge is only needed if you use GF config to setup your controls.

 

also:

 

<Launch.Addon>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Name>GoFlight Hardware Interface</Name>
<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\GoFlight\GFDevP3D.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>
</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>

 

 

You do not want the GFDevFSX.exe unless you use FSX  -  it may work with the FSX version but not sure

Beyond the point of return regarding going back to Windows 7, so I'm wondering whether my format is incorrect or somehow EXE.XML has been misplaced.

 

Thanks,

Have you tried deleting the file and creating a new one with just the basics in there? 

This is what an empty one should look like, your addons would go in the space above </SimBase.Document>

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">

  <Descr>Launch</Descr>

  <Filename>exe.xml</Filename>

  <Disabled>False</Disabled>

  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

 

</SimBase.Document>

 

 

 

EDIT: You need to use Notepad++ or something similar and save it as an .xml file so the encoding would be right if you are making it from scratch, I don't believe you can just use notepad.

If you go into the goflight folder on your harddrive you see a file called gfdevp3d.exe or somthing like that make a shortcut and place it on your desktop once you launch p3d click on the shortcut and launch the goflight program and it'll work

[motoadve 49]

Just did that and doesnt work.
