Added support for the GF-LGT II
Also the MCP Pro Alt Knob when pressed and rotated will change Altitude in steps of 10.

Check the Version History file below for information on this version and previous versions.

XPGF_SB_VersionHistory.txt

IMPORTANT
Apparently some LGT II units have problems where the trim wheels direction are reversed.
Also some units have problems where the Landing Gear LED colours are reversed.
The following settings can be added to the XPGF.INI file to allow these to work properly.
Add them to the [CONFIG] section of the XPGF.INI file.
GFLGT2AileronReverseFix=1
GFLGT2ElevatorReverseFix=1
GFLGT2RudderReverseFix=1
GFLGT2LandingLightsReverseFix=1
Note that this is a firmware problem and NOT a problem with the plugin.
This is a workaround that I have added to allow users to use these rogue units.
If these settings are missing or set to 0 (zero) then the plugin works as normal.
IMPORTANT

NOTE
The new AP_STATE_XXXX functions are mapped directly to the "sim/cockpit/autopilot/autopilot_state" dataref.
In order to use them you need to know how the XPlane AP works.
So make sure you read the XPlane documentation on how the AP works.
Also make sure you read all of this web page on our plugin SDK web site.
This describes what the various states of the "sim/cockpit/autopilot/autopilot_state" dataref are.

http://www.xsquawkbox.net/xpsdk/mediawiki/Sim/cockpit/autopilot/autopilot_state

These functions and all other functions are listed in the Goflight_Function_List_Pdfs.zip file below.

NOTES
The GF-MCP and the GF-MCP Pro may not work properly with aircraft that modify the default behaviour of the autopilot using their own plugins.
My plugin writes to the AP datarefs, some of these like Altitude and Vertical Speed seem to be getting ignored by these other plugins.
Because of this these aircraft will not be supported by me at the present time.

There have been requests for functionality that would only work with our SDK 2.00 API and Xplane V9.
None of this has been added and is in my feature request list.

Goflight are sending me a LGT II module.
When that arrives I will be looking at adding support for it.

A special thanks to Ben Supnik for creating the original Goflight USB HID library for OSX.
This saves me having to re-invent the wheel and just get on with working out the USB HID functionality required for the new modules.
