I believe at one time PMDG offered a software solution but they don't anymore. A third party vendor has a solution for the MCP Pro. But I just have the older MCP.

I'm curious what other models work without issue (or expensive additional add-ons) with the GoFlight hardware. I have the MCP, TQ6, GF-T8 and P8's, GF-45, GF166A and the GF-LGT.

Can anyone confirm if Flight1, CaptainSim, CLS will all work with the GoFlight equipment like the default FSX aircraft will?

Thank you for your help,

Does anyone still use CHCOMM3? I've been able to interface FSX to a microcontroller to control just about everything in the simulator with the exception of the NAV and COM radios. For the life of me I can't figure out the proper string to send to CHCOMM to make these work.

Is anyone able to assist? All I need to see is what CHCOMM is expecting to see from my device - the ASCII string it's looking for.

Any help would be appreciated. ]]> I/O Interfacing Hardware and Software aviator41 http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php/20870-CHCOMM http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php/20843-GoFlight-GF-MCP-Issue-Dashed-lines-through-displays-(FSX-Win7-64bit)?goto=newpost Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:46:30 GMT Hello all, This looks like a great forum.

I am a long time flight simmer that dates back to the Commodore 64 days. I got really heavy into the hobby in 2001. Back in those days I ran WinXP and FS9. Life got in the way for me around 2004 and I took several years off.

I'm back and just built a new PC to run FSX on. It is a homebrew machine running Windows 7 Professional, 64bit. Like I said I'm running FSX. and have both SP1 and SP2 installed.

I have several GoFlight modules and have all working fine with exception of the GF-MCP. I'm running the latest GF Config client (1.93 build 20). The GF Config client sees the MCP so all looks good there.

I learned a long time ago the GF-MCP likes to have it's own USB connection and I'm running it direct from the PC. When FSX starts the GF-MCP has lines through the LCD windows and basically does not function at all.

I read on the GoFlight Forums about the issue being fixed by using a USB 1.1 connection. I find this a bit odd. I haven't used USB 1.1 in years and my guess is the GF-MCP was developed on USB 2.0 technology anyway. Here is the thread I'm talking about. http://www.goflightinc.com/ShowThread.aspx?ID=77

Anyway...what else am I missing??? I really miss my GF-MCP and want to get it back going.

I have been a satisfied Simboard user for years now but now my Simboard chain suddenly gave up working. (My chain consists of the master, two input and two output modules).
They are not recognised any more - I have tried it on three different Windows XP PCs now without success.
The software doesn't even ask me to install the proper driver.

What I have tried so far:

1.: Tested connected on two different powered USB hubs
2.: Tested connected on an PCI USB 2.0 card
3.: Tested with external power supply (12V)
4.: Removed all modules except the first one building only a single-module chain
5.: Tried three different USB cables in various lengths (1 to 2 metres)

I really don't know what else I could try - it has always worked so fine, but now I'm rather despirated.

Do you think my master module has broken down?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

I purchased a set of Boeing overhead gauges (GSA-OVH) and am having trouble installing the software on a system running Windows XP and Project Magenta pmSystems. I downloaded the GSC-MSFS package (the full install), but when I try to run it, I get a message that says, 'Please insert disk 5'.

Please help, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
