Configuring the GF-166



To select the functions that you want your GF-166 to perform, you

choose selections from function lists presented in the Configuration

View, the right-hand panel in the GF-Config program window. The

Configuration View presents a tab control for each flight simulator

program that is detected on your computer. When selecting functions

for the GF-166, make sure that you have selected the tab control

corresponding to the flight simulator you wish to configure the GF-166

functions for assignment.

Three lists are available – one for the Main Avionics Function, one for

the Left Function and one for the Right Function.




The Main Avionics Function list contains entries for all radio types including COM1, NAV1, COM2, NAV2,

ADF and Transponder. When you select one of these function types, the behavior of the rotary knobs,

dual displays, and center function button are configured to operate as the type of radio you have selected.

The Left and Right Function buttons are unaffected by the Main Avionics Function selection.



The Left Function and Right Function lists contain entries for additional cockpit functions that may be

assigned to the left and right function buttons, respectively.



The GF-166 cockpit function selections presented by GF-Config may change from one release of

software to another, as GoFlight is continually developing new software features and releasing them via

software updates. Because of this, we suggest that you consult the GF-Config On-Line Help facility,

which contains details about all of the configuration options available in your release of software. The online

help facility may be accessed within GF-Config simply by clicking the ‘Help’ tab of the GF-Config

menu bar. On-line help can also be accessed from the Windows Start menu by selecting


Start →Programs → GoFlight → GF-Config Help .



When you have finished selecting functions for your GF-166, exit GFConfig and run your Flight Sim

program.



NOTE The GFConfig screens shown in these instructions were taken from an earlier version

of GFConfig, and shows GFConfig’s configuration view for the GF-166. If you have a

different version of software, the options and the layout of the window may differ

slightly from the one shown here
