GF-SECM
Single Engine Control Module
Cockpit Control System
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:
1. Plug the USB cable “B”connector end (square) into the connector on the back of the GFSECM
enclosure.
2. 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 MicrosoftWindows, 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 notificationmessage, is a
normal operating feature of the Windows Plug and Play system.

5. Click on “GF-Config x.xx”to download the latest module drivers and configuration software.
6. 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.

The GF-SECM is recognized by these Microsoft Flight Simulator versions and is fully compatible with
either version.
