AAO not seeing GoFlight GF-LGTII Rotaries

Featured Replies

AAO sees the GoFlight GF-LGTII Gear/Flaps/Left/right switches
but does not see the three rotaries which are meant for rudder/aileron/elevator trim.

This is similar to LINDA which did not see them either but in that case
FSUICP came to the rescue and would recognize and assign to them.
The rotaries are the assignable two buttons in each direction switch type.

Using AAO 2.08 for MSFS 2020.
Thanks for any ideas.

GoFlight hardware has a custom communications protocol, like VRI  To make them accessible, a separate Bridge module would be required. It is a massive effort to write one of those, especially because the hardware companies are usually very restrictive about those protocols (= they just won't tell you how it works). I never even received an answer from VRI, and TMBK GoFlight never published any specs either. 

FSUIPC already has a custom module for this, so if you have GoFlight hardware, FSUIPC is the app to use with it.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
Bit of a catch though since I bought AAO mainly for the VRI MCP support which apparently does not want you to run FSUICP when the MCP bridge is working. ?

I might have go the FSX program install route to trick the GoFlight software into working with MSFS.

That is why the product description in the shop points to the Demo version, so you can try the app first.

The VRI Bridge program does not require FSUIPC. This Bridge was doable because a user invested the time to help me analyze the communications protocol. That took about six weeks for just the one device (the  Boeing MCP Combo). The bridge program is provided free of charge.

With GoFlight it would be pretty much the same effort, assuming that it is possible to find out how the communication works in the first place. If somebody could provide the complete technical specs, then the Bridge program would be a piece of cake.
