Installing a GF-T8 Module

 

1. Using a web browser go to  www.goflightinc.com.

 

2. On the GoFlight home page click Support.

 

3. Click on “GF Config x.xx” to download the latest module drivers and configuration software.

 

4. Click “Run” or “Save” and then follow the instructions to install the software.

If the software installer detects that GoFlight software is already installed on your system, it will prompt you to overwrite. Click the Yes button to overwrite the existing version of GoFlight software. This is useful if you wish to keep the configuration settings for other GoFlight

modules installed on your system. However, you should first make sure that the software you are overwriting is an older version and not a newer one.

 

5. If you are going to mount the GF-T8 module into a GoFlight module rack, install the module in any desired location in the rack using the two thumbscrews provided.

 



NOTE: When tightening the GF-T8 mounting thumbscrews, be careful not to over-tighten the screws as it is possible to strip the threads in the mounting holes or break the mounting screws if excessive force is applied.

 

6. Plug the provided USB cable “B” connector end (square) into the connector on the back of the

GF-T8 module.

 

7. Plug the USB cable “A” connector end (rectangular) into a USB port on your computer or hub. The message “New Hardware Found” may appear briefly, showing that the GF-T8 was

detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*To configure your GF-T8 for use with your favorite flight simulator, run the GFConfig program.

Either click Start-->Programs-->GoFlight to access the GoFlight program or…

*Double-click on the GoFlight Config icon on your desktop, if you chose to create one

 

8. Click on the graphic illustration of the GF-T8. It will become highlighted in a red outlined border. Then assign the desired function for each toggle switch from the drop-down list provided for
