Do What I did.

Install FSX and don't bother even opening it. You will never need it.

Install the latest GoFlight software and set up all your modules as you did with FSX. Then close the GF Software. You will never need to run this again unless you want to make some changes.

Now create a shortcut on the desktop to your GFDevFSX.exe. Run GFDevFSX.exe then run MSFS 2020 and your GoFlight Modules will light up and work as they did in FSX.

I was blown away when I discovered that they worked. Today I use the add-on linker to automatically open GFDevFSX.exe without a hitch.

Good luck.

Jose

It might work with FS9 installed.

You can purchase the FSX Steam version for $5 when on sale.

I have not tried a dummy version. I doubt that it will work.

I look  for that and Waldo if yu can tell me what to down and where

José, I did read this trick too on the official MSFS forum with plenty of details, but when I do follow those instructions and click on the GFDevFSX.exe, all I am getting is an error message: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect".

In the GF config tool on the right I did select Simulator Info >FSX, and on the left the only tab visible is FSX. I saved that cfg and cannot go pass that error message!  Any idea?

If there is no way, all my modules are already programmed with FSUIPC and are functional with MSFS, but they remain dark, no big deal really.

If you go to the Pollypot site you may find that the entire goflight array is catered for in the

new interface tool. I did the fsx work around some time ago but the new interface tool superseded that.

Hope this helps.

Going to try the FsX way  Friend bringing a copy over  Will insall just to try o see if it works

Pollypot not sure what to do

 

Need to insttall the goflight software first, last one they had on there site?

 

Then download this interface tool????

Winter is coming here to Toronto so back inside on computer

 

 

Just got a copy of FSX  illinstall  Then try the goflight with MSFS2020

 

 

FSUIPC can read Go-Flight buttons and rotaries. You then assign them using FSUPIC Buttons app. Go-Flight's GFDev64.dll must be int he FSUIPC folder.

 

AxisandOhs will read the buttons but not the rotaries.

Was going to download the goflight software from there website

But site is gone
