Hey Jason,

I decided to post the pics here for you and others in the future... Plus, I get zero cell signal inside the hangar.  :huh:

For anyone interested I have some of the original documents for the go-flight products.

It might be easier to download and print these. Although they do not include not all the ones in John's post.

I didn't think they were goflight...  Was sure they were OC..  Nice.  Glad you were able to get that info..  Be much easier to program now :)

Hey Sam,

For your reference, I just sent Jason a copy of the drivers to his Google Drive and this is what I told him:

[Hey Jason,

I dropped the files into your Google Drive and placed them into a new folder. These files are the basic drivers that you can get from GoFlight, but the ones they have now might be to new and not work...you could try them though.

Anyway, you plug the card into the computer USB port and run the Setup.exe file. You might need to restart your computer afterwards.

Start the program and you'll see the GoFlight window. Then, you will see a image representation of the GoFlight module and not a I/O card. In other words, just imagine a GoFlight module for the TQ or the P8 (look at GoFlight website for reference) and you will understand that you're only using the hardware in raw form. Which means unlike the modules, you have to use your own switches, buttons, leds and so on...

GoFlight made these cards sometime ago by custom orders only, and I don't think they still sell them. However, the ones you have will work just fine for the TQ; knowingly, because I used them in the past.]

Sam, if you want me to send you the drivers and you have a location I can transfer them to, just PM the link and I'll do it...

John

This is exactly why I thought they were OC.  Good to know they are GF units...  Also, speaking of which.... you were supposed to send that to me to restore as a winter project.  Oh well.  Guess when it happens it will happen LOL

I may be wrong but  Go-Flght cards do not process axis (pots), just buttons and rotarys ??
Better use a Bodnard card

Hey Jack,

The GoFlight TQ card does pots, used it for a B737 TQ (now Jason's). Look at the first pic I postec above and you'll see what I mean.

I also have a GoFlight MCP card and a P8 card that I'm thinking about selling, just haven't figured the price yet.

Actually, I have a boat load of GoFlight Modules (black) and a GoFlight MCP Pro (gray) that I've been going back and forth on selling it all or not.

More thinking  :idiot:

FYI For those with these cards, the newest drivers from Go-Flight work as well and are compatible with Prepar3d v4!
