NOTVAM #1
GF-TQ6 Configuration in Many Popular Flight Sims

When first shipped in October of 2003, the GoFlight® GF-TQ6 was one of the world's first 6-axis USB game controllers.  Most simulator software (including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004) is not designed to set correct default behavior for a device with this many axis inputs.  This usually results in unexpected aircraft behavior, and often, a call to tech support!   This NOTVAM explains how to avoid configuration conflicts and provides solid tips on using your GF-TQ6 to its full potential in several popular flight sims.

NOTVAM #2
GoFlight® hardware compatibility with add-on aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Having trouble getting your GF-MCP to work with that new add-on aircraft you just downloaded?  In this NOTVAM, we reveal the source of many compatibility issues between Microsoft Flight Simulator add-on products -- and specifically with aircraft autopilots.

Included in this NOTVAM is a complete key mapping solution for one of today's most popular add-on airliner packages.

Make-your-own MagLabels

GoFlight® MagLabels are magnetic-backed rectangular labels included with certain GF-AC cockpit control modules (currently GF-P8, GF-T8, GF-RP48, and GF-166.)  They provide an easy method of labeling and re-labeling the cockpit control functions that you assign to the buttons and switches on these modules.

The "Do-it-yourself" MagLabels files in this section are expanded versions of the label sets that are shipped from the factory.  Some MagLabels file sets are provided in ready-to-print form.  Others include templates that make it easy for you to create your own labels for custom cockpits and third party add-on aircraft.  The ready-to-print graphic images can be printed to an adhesive paper or plastic label, then applied to magnetic sheeting material.  The labels can then be cut from the sheet using sharp scissors and placed in the modules' panel indentations..

ARTISTIC sim pilots:  If you have a talent for creating great-looking labels and would like to share them with your fellow sim pilots, we encourage you to submit them for posting here.  We even have rewards for great looking art!  Contact us at customerservice@goflightinc.com .

For Software Developers

If you are a software developer and would like to include support for GoFlight® technology in your own products, we want to help.  We've put together the GoFlight® Device SDK (Software Development Kit) to give you all the information you need.  The sample code and documentation included in the kit shows you how to do things like:
  • Detecting GoFlight® device connections
  • Reading data from encoder and switch controls
  • Writing messages to displays
  • Controlling brightness of displays and indicators

The GoFlight® Device SDK includes several pre-built sample programs, along with a full set of project and source files, ready to build for use with MicrosoftTM Visual C++ and Visual Basic.  These samples enable you to get oriented quickly, then build, run and modify the samples to your heart's content.  The  comprehensive, 80+ page programmer's reference guide makes it easy to familiarize yourself with GoFlight® device programming.

The SDK is free of charge -- simply click here, fill out the brief form, and download the SDK (version 1.40, 12 Apr, 2002).
 
GoFlight® is committed to frequently updating and improving this SDK which may include support for new GoFlight® products, additional computer platforms, new examples, and making the GoFlight® API more robust and feature-rich.

If you have feedback for us regarding this kit, or need information that is not covered in the content, please let us know. The best way is to contact us by e-mail at techsupport@goflightinc.com.
