The first thing to check is when you press the identify button in git, your device should light up.
If that does then make sure your device is enabled in git.
Then start configuring your toggles and buttons
Neelfixer, Thanks for sticking with me this long. When I choose a module and click on Identify, the lights all light up. It’s possible I’m picking the wrong actions for the T8. I have the CJ4 loaded since it uses most of the variables I would want for all the aircraft I use. I picked the landing light since it would be easy to tell if it worked. All seems to work in when setting it up but there’s no indication it works in the sim, no lights change when the switch is moved. The settings appear in Documents->GoFlight Interface Tool->Settings.XML folder. Is there anyway to verify from the modules what switch you’re programming?

FWIW, When I open msfs and then GIT, the module I’ve programmed shows up as disabled.
If anyone is using GIT and a LGT-ii and wants to see if they can replicate an error that would be awesome…here is my issue-
I decided to assign the rudder rotary knob for heading adjustment. It works, but (randomly, as I can’t determine any consistency) if I have to adjust the heading too much (say go from hdg 90 to 180) as I spin the knob , eventually the whole panel will stop working. Then I have to disconnect the usb, force quit GIT, reconnect usb, and restart GIT. If I just sit and turn that rotary knob it’ll eventually crash and disable the panel. (I don’t get any crash message , it’s just the panel functions no longer respond - no knobs, flaps , or gear)
So for now I have abandoned the use of that rotary knob. I tried messing with some of the settings but no progress yet. Very annoying as it would be a simple way to add a heading bug to my setup since I rarely use rudder trim in an airliner
If I leave the rotary knob alone though, I have zero issues
That’s correct. Unfortunately you have to enable the modules everytime.
Are the 3 lights in git green?
If so, then check if your USB ports in windows have energy saving disabled.
We’ll make it work:grinning:
Neelixer, I managed to get two switches of the T8 working. I’ve learned how to use the GIT forums and saw you over there so I posted my last comments over there. Don’t happen to know if anyone has created a list of events for FS22020 do you? Thanks for all your help. Your help has been fantastic, thanks.
Well, I purchased The GoFlight Interface Tool from Pollypot.
I have both GF-166’s working, as well as the MCP-PRO. The GF-46 is a work in progress. And for the moment I am not worried about the EFIS, as FS2020 is not really ready for tubeliners.
I downloaded a config file for the TBM930, but have not used it yet.
Thanks for everyone who assisted either in this thread or by PM. I just can’t enjoy flight simulation without being able to use my modules.
I am a happy camper.

Do you need the Goflight Drivers to use the MCP with GIT?
I am about to hook up my MCP Pro but the drivers from goflights website are missing. (Get a blank “BLOG” page)
I already have GIT which i’ve been using for my LGT-II, but on the GIT FAQ they make it seem as if you need the goflight drivers installed in tandem with GIT to use the MCP.
You don’t need the GoFlight drivers. It is also stated on the Pollypot website.
Quote: " GoFlight Drivers
Any reference to GoFlight drivers or GFConfig in the end user documentation can be ignored for GIT FS2020 as they are not needed. I will update it asap."
I strongly recommend reading the following on the Pollypot Forum: Pollypot GIT FS2020 Feature Status and Usage

Thanks, up and running now
Great to hear you have it working.
Enjoy your MCP PRO.

Hi MFDC3, when you say you have the MCP working, is that fully or partially? Before investing in the GIT, thought I’d bumble along with it as it is in native MSFS2020 using the GF drivers for FSX(they work to some extent). Thx
The MCP Pro is fully functional, including the LED displays.
Spending the $40 on GIT was certainly worth getting my $500 panel (+3 radio panels) operational.

Thanks MFDC3, one last Q … do you have any experience of thenEFIS panel working as designed with GIT … my MC-PRO works fine without GIT but EFIS is dead so I suspect we need GIT. Thanks again
I have not looked into the EFIS yet, as FS2020 is not really ready for tubeliners.
I can try and see what it does on the default 747.
Appreciated. I bought FSUIPC7 so didn’t want to by another toolset. I suspect I’ll have to wait until the SDK APIs are published by Asobo. Thx
Great Discussion for this 15-year veteran using GF modules. As MFDC3 stated, MSFS2020 is not airliner ready at this time for the level of hardware sophistication the people on this thread have articulated and for those of us into the GF MCP, EFIS, programming FMCs, etc. But all of my GoFlight Modules (MCP Pro, 2 GF166’s, 2 GF P8’s, GF 46, and a GF T8) work well in P3Dv4. Combined with the iFLY 737NG in P3D v4, it’s pretty hard to beat for airliner IFR simulation. Don’t get me wrong, the scenery, graphics, and flight modelling in MSFS2020 are breathtaking, and as a real-world Cessna 172 pilot, fantastic for familiarizing myself with a VFR route to a future destination. But the G1000 avionics are average at best, with significantly limited functionality (you cannot lean the engine or save a flight plan with the G1000 in MSFS2020). It works well enough to get me from A to B in a typical X-country flight, but doesn’t hold a candle to the fully-functional Flight 1 G1000 Student Simulator I use with P3D (which hopefully will be upgraded for MSFS2020). Hearing how much work you all have gone through to get the damned GF modules to work in MSFS2020, I think I’ll pass for now, monitor this thread, but spend that time flying, real world or virtually, until either the GF hardware can really work in MSFS2020, new hardware is developed, or I make the leap to VR or the REALSIMGEAR![AVSIM_RENO|334x500] G1000. Best to all in the New Year. -AC

I tried to download the software from goflight but the file does not exists.
Can someone help me with valid link to the software file.
Thanks.

I have a copy of the GF software; however, it will do you no good in MSFS. The Pollypot software will let you program your GF modules but it is not plug-n-play. Also, you are hampered by the incomplete simconnect implementation .
I would be glad to provide a copy of the latest GF software; but it’s a big file and too large to email. If you have a dropbox adcount I could drop it there.

Can you please upload to GoFile or some other free upload service?
or send me your email and I will create shared folder in dropbox.
