September 7, 201115 yr Hi, I would like to buy very shortly the interface for Goflight and 747-400X but i would like that you confirm that the MCP should AND WILL work with any firmware -A22 To -A25. Polar
September 7, 201115 yr Hi Polar: Welcome to the forum... Drivers are not my area at all, so i may be mistaken, but i believe that you can download and test the demo version in a limited area? Cheers Smiffy
September 7, 201115 yr Author Hi Polar: Welcome to the forum... Drivers are not my area at all, so i may be mistaken, but i believe that you can download and test the demo version in a limited area? Cheers Smiffy Thank's sir My concern wasn't where was the download demo version but more a specific technical query. Best regards Polar
September 7, 201115 yr Maybe I'm not understanding, but the point of me mentioning the demo was so that you could test the product with the hardware, and be sure that it worked with the firmware that you have... Or do you not yet have the hardware? In which case, that's one for Lefteris... Cheers Smiffy
September 7, 201115 yr Author Ok thank's , What i imagine is that some are working and some not. And in the case it doesn't work you suggest to transfered the case to your collaborator Lefteris ? In your point of view what will be exactly the solution . A fix for the interface for version late than 22 or a global fix for any of them ? Best regards
September 7, 201115 yr Polar, there's no need to get snippy with Smiffy - especially since he's correct in that you CAN download the product FREE of charge, test it to your heart's content (at a limited area around LGAV) and see for yourself if it covers your specific needs. We have no specific instruction from GoFlight as to any differences in newer firmware versions, but I am sure they will confirm any such changes if you approach them directly (after all, it's THEIR firmware that is the issue at hand here). Regards,

Regards, Thank you very much for your answer. It was just a little question because i saw somewhere in forum that you mentionned something about version 25 to somebody, and recommend to contact GOFLIGHT and exchange for another firmware etc. So if firm. 22-25 should work with, that's fine to me. Thank's again , i will try my MCP Pro with the test version as you request but i would like that you understand me as customer its very hard to follow some of your answers into forum such this one : From :Lefteris Kalamaras To: Evan Banalian Forum; GOFlight Mcp pro - Topic: No Numbers On The Mcp Panel August 2, 2011 > Gents, can you ask GoFlight to send you A22 firmware for testing, so you can confirm? It will be impossible to test new firmware until the middle of next month as we're working on the A320 in the meantime > ------------------------------------ It's such confusing when you read some of this response into any forum for a non-familiar like me who expect that is Module will work with an interface that i was looking for many months. Thank's to you guy's and sorry again if i disturb you today with my concerns. Best regards
September 8, 201115 yr Polar, I would REALLY appreciate it if you did not put words in my mouth. I did NOT confirm that the drivers work with A22 up to A25, simply because I can't confirm this (we don't get regular firmware updates from GoFlight). All I said was that YOU can confirm freely, because the download is completely and absolutely free, so you can test. As you can clearly understand, we cannot be testing all their firmware updates constantly, because they're not downloadable via the Internet (one needs to send the unit back to them, they will update, etc. etc.) If we are advised by GoFlight that there has been changes in their firmware that require updates to our software, we will be glad to accommodate, but up to now, there has been no such notice.
September 12, 201115 yr Author Hi, I am back with an answer from GoFlight for MCP pro firmware version compatibility. To check the firmware version on your MCP-Pro all you need to do is unplug the USB cable from the back and plug it back in in the left course window you will see the firmware version A25 is the current version.A25 firmware fixed the freezing problems that the MCP-Pro was haveing. If your are going back to firmware A22 you will get some freezing issue as mentionned by Goflight tech support but the FLIGHTSIMLABS interface will work and you will fly the Queen PMDG. It's an individual choice. Freezing and/or an interface for now. When GF fixed the firmware in the last version A25 the serial # was removed because there was no memory left on the processor in the MCP-Pro. That's why if you upgrade to A25 FLIGHTSIM LABS will not have the serial # to license your interface software.This was unavoidable to fix the firmware for the freezing problem the MCP-Pro was having with some add-on's. I hope that Flightsim Labs will find a solution to produce an interface who will work with the A25 firmware and without the needed of serial number on your MCP pro. I am asking the developer if you have any suggestion to avoid and produce an interface who will work. No problem to pay for it. Keep going your excellent work. Cheers
