Silverfox,

While the various Goflight modules can be configured in multiple ways, I am trying to set things up so that each unit is pretty much "dedicated".  So the GF-45 on the glareshield is currently the transponder.  That is all it will be.  Likely I will cover the upper led display of the word XPDR .......looks very unrealistic.  Might cut a new faceplate for the unit.

I can STRONGLY recommend the GF-166 VRP's for your radio stack.  They look and function VERY much like the real thing.  I now have four on the center pedestal with a RP=48 as an "audio control panel".

I don't have a GF-46 unit (yet).  They seem like a good multipurpose unit...... but until Doyle sets it up for DME in the software....... I haven't found a use for it.  SO I agree that I'm not sure about long term use for you.  But I am sure that you can sell it used on EBay.

And by the way.... check out "Phidgets" with the "FS2Phidget" software for another REALLY nice simpit building interface.  I plan on getting their "LED64" unit to power all the annunciator lights and indicator leds (up to 64) on the main panel, glareshield, and overhead.

best,

.....................john

I've got a whack of GF modules - including the GF-46 and GF-P8.

I have the GF-P8 set up with a DME 1 and DME 2 button on the GF-46, which displays distance from NAV1 and NAV2 beacons; I am sure that that the GF-46 will handle that alone. (I also use the GF-46 for XPDR and ADF).

For those that fly on-line (i.e., VATSIM), Squawkbox 3 interfaces beautifully with the GF-166 radio panels - when I'm instructed to change to a frequency, I dial it in, and it works!.
