MS 2020 and Goflight?

Spad.Next supports GoFlight?  I don't see any mention of it on their website.

What peeves me is that we purchase expensive GoFlight products and then have to ‘purchase’ other vendors software to make them work properly!! 

I parallel this to buying a new television and the remote control doesn’t work so you have to go out and buy a third party product in order to use your new TV!! 

Would you be happy and accept that? ... of course you wouldn’t !!

Both GIT and Spad.Next work with GF panels in MSFS2020. GIT recognizes GF in general (all buttons and rotaries just like FSUIPS7 with GF's dll if you put it in the same folder) plus it recognizes several panels with their specific default functionalities: MCP, LGT II, 166 (and I guess MCP PRO) which is very helpful. But I coudn't find similar possibility in Spad.Next. It also recognizes all buttons and rotaries, like GIT and FSUIPC, but doesn't offer full panel's functionality. I find assigning every button, rotary and display functions from the very long list under drop down menu very very difficult, particularly when most of the functions don't work in MSFS2020. If somebody has ready profiles for Spad.Next - please share!

Thanks.

PS: I bought GIT and Spad.Next just 2 days ago, so the above is just what I've figured out myself so far, please share what you've learnt about their functionality and practical use in MSFS2020.

Easy way to make GoFlight work:

Navigate to your C:\\Program Files (x86)\GoFlight\ folder (if that's

where it is) and make a shortcut on your desktop to the "GFDevFSXSE.exe"

in there.

 

2) Then after launching MSFS, run it and your hardware should light up! Working here and a friend of mine has it working also. 

Cheers!

You SIR are a genius! I'll try this tomorrow. I do recall that this was the trick to get the modules to show up years ago with P3D v4.

I'm going to assume that you are using the latest software download?

When I run GFDevFSXSE.exe I have Error:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use different comman-line sxtrace.exe tool for more detail.

 

[Dirk98 354]

If I run any other exe in GoFlight folder only MCP panel lights up but is not functional at all.

As I mentioned if you just drop GFDev64.dll in FSUIPC folder and run FSUIPC7.exe all your GF buttons, switches and rotaries will become assignable in FSUIPC7 menu, but GF panels will not recognized hence not functional yet.

Looks like the only way to go meanwhile is using GIT and Spad.Next (with user-made profiles, thanks klosurdo! I'll try downloading the profiles).   

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

I've been a GoFlight customer since the beginning and they have not failed me yet. I'm confident that this will be resolved. If it is NOT resolved in a few weeks, I'll proceed with GIT. BTW, have not done any checking yet. Too busy enjoying the new sim.

Doesn't work for me.  I get the same side-by-side configuration error message....

Hmmmm, Well here we go. I've used this method several times through P3D versions 3/4/5 and now MFS and its never failed. Same with my flying bud in Florida. Yes, using the latest software I got via the email notice that it supports MFS. Anyone have success with it?

I also get the Side by side error as well.

Which versions of MSFS2020 do you and your flying friend from Florida have? 

Thanks
