GF-SECM Single Engine Control Module
Congratulations on your purchase of a GoFlight GF-SECM (Single Engine Control
Module), part of the extensive family of GoFlight GF Cockpit Control System
modules.
The GF-SECM is designed to operate with a wide variety of simulated aircraft
and is sure to make your flight simulation experience more realistic and
enjoyable.
The
steps below will assist in the installation, configuration and operation of
the GF-SECM. Following these instructions will help to get you up in the
“virtual skies” as quickly as possible.
Connecting the USB Cable
To connect the SECM to your computer, use the 2-meter USB cable provided in the package, following these steps:
- Plug the USB cable “B” connector end (square) into the connector on the back of the GFSECM enclosure.
- Plug the USB cable “A” connector end (rectangular) to a USB port on your computer or hub.
The first time the SECM is connected to the USB port on a computer running Microsoft Windows, a message “New Hardware Found” or “Your New Device is Now Ready” should appear briefly on your screen. This indicates that Windows has detected the SECM, and has loaded all required drivers.
From this point on, if you disconnect the SECM and then re-connect it, the drivers will automatically load and no message will appear on the screen. This also occurs each time you re-start your computer while the SECM is connected. The automatic loading of drivers, with no notification message, is a normal operating feature of the Windows Plug and Play system.
Software Installation
NOTE If you own other GoFlight hardware and have already installed the
most current version of software on your system, you do not need to install
the software again.
Simply skip the software installation steps in the instructions below.
- Get on line and go to www.goflightinc.com.
- On the GoFlight home page click Support.
- Click on “GF-Config x.xx” to download the latest module drivers and configuration software.
- Click “Run” or “Save” and follow the instruction 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.
Microsoft Flight Simulator FS9 or FSX
The GF-SECM is recognized by these Microsoft Flight Simulator versions and is
fully compatible with either version.
Other Software
