    The lights on my Honeycomb Throttle Quadrant are no longer working. The Annunciator Lights and the Upper bank Switch lights no longer work. I redownloaded the download file from Honeycomb. That didn't work. AFC Bridge is in Community folder. Even tried running the AFC Bridge directly from the Community folder. Still didn't work. Stumped on this one. Is anyone else having this problem? And did anyone find a solution? Thanks Walt (Happy Flying)

    Has anyone had problems with the pushback dropdown app after SU10? It works at a parking spot, but not on the runway, as it used to..

  3. Hi, since the last update, I am experiencing problems with bush trips. I am generating my own bush trips using BushTripInjector and did not have problems as described below prior to the update. After each leg (when I exit to the main menu and e.g want to fly the next leg at another time) - the Sim does not remember my parking position anymore, but puts the plane in the middle of the runway (relative to runway length) and a heading that is not the runway heading. Addtionally, the clock is reset between legs and my plane is automatically refulled. Now - the SU10 release note stated the following: So the automatic refuelling seems to be a "feature" - n…

  4. How do a Honda Jet and Citation Mustang compare in terms of the way they fly? The HJet is already out and I've seen some previews of the Mustang by Cockspur. I want to buy one of them. Assuming the Mustang isn't terrible (and it isn't based on the previews). How do I make a decision which one to get? I want something fun and sporty.

    I read about disabling CPU I7 virtualization in the BIOS on another forum. I thought let's give it a try. Unbelievable much better performance and much and much less CPU limitations can be seen in devmode info. No idea why this is but when I enable it again it is worse again.

    Hola All, Not sure what happened exactly but I seem to have misplaced my Fenix A320 contrails since either the latest SU10 or the most recent Fenix update. Real Life got in the way recently so I've had no chance to fly, besides one gorgeous morning LFMN~DTTA flight today across the Med. All went well at FL390 but my Fenix refused to produce contrails ! Honestly I haven't had time to investigate and I am wondering if a new setting needs to be ticked somewhere in the sim, or maybe the Fenix App... Would anyone know? Cheers, 2Low2Slow

  10. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm flying the FBW A320 Dev Version (latest update) on VATSIM and ocassionally I've got the issue, that the aircraft (or VATSIMs vPilot??) is changing the VHF1 frequency on it's own. Currently departing EGPH for ENBR: I've set TWR freq. 118.700 on VHF 1 active and 135.535 (SCO_CTR) on VHF1 standby but when at holding point RWY24 in departure sequence, the aircraft changes to VHF1 to a random frequency like 128.225 or something. Doesn't matter if i set VHF1 via the EFB or the radio panel and appears to occur just once per flight maximum (also during approach or en route). Having this with the FBW A320 ever since I'v…

    Does anyone have a good reference on how turbo prop engines are operated? Basically what are the power and condition levers actually doing? I get the prop pitch/mixture/manifold throttle of piston engines, and I know the basic theory that turbo props use, but I'm having trouble understanding what the various levers and stuff are actually doing. If it's different for different engines, I'm looking at the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 and its varients. The BlackSquare King Air refit has gotten me curious in going to non-piston planes. Thank you, Harry Voyager

    From Discord: Cessna 414AW Chancellor Version 3.2.0 is available to download. Report any installation issues in the community support channel. Change log is included in zip and on the website. Changelog: 1. Wing lockers were showing luggage when not loaded. This was from our recent update as we did a major change for enabling the exterior clickable items. 2. Since SU10 is now out they fixed a bug we reported as the NAV 1 morse code would not play if we have three nav sources as we did. So this update removes our custom nav 1 sound as now the default sounds works. The new version can be downloaded from the Flysimware store or from Simmarket, dependi…

  17. Hi, My aircraft seems to be disappearing after 10-15 mins of following the magenta line from both the stock GNS530 and the in-game VFR Map. Quite disastrous finding an airport if you're not familiar with the general area as you can imagine. Anyone knows what's going on? Edit: Also the aircraft icon on the GNS and the map looks like a boat rather than an aircraft. Is this something new? Running an i7 9700k, rtx 3090, 32 gigs of ram, 2x 1TB NVMEs, SUX on TAA with DX12 (with the new nvidia studio driver) and most setting on 4K Ultra (on a 50 inch Samsung QN90B)

  21. I've been running some tests with update 10 and the 1.2 version of the openxr toolkit, seems i discovered this issue with the 310 at least. This is with the aero goggles. If im using the baron default aircraft, i cant replicate this issue. With the toolkit enabled, i load up the 310 at 2nC0, daytime overcast setting, i note the frame rate in VR is 49.. i toggle VR and come back in, the frame rate is at 41 or so.. Putting the goggles on, there is horrid head turning lag, real bad, it never stabilizes. If tried this with scaling and fov rendering turned off in the kit (so i could use post processing), same issue. If i uncheck in the toolkit, the fs2020 …

    If I am using this as an external interface to different aircraft, do I still need to plug/plan a flight plan into the aircrafts interface? Thanks ahead of time for responses. If this is post is misplaced, please move to appropriate area. Duane

  23. Sorry for the terrable screenshot but here you can see the Utilisation with the SU10, New Studio drivers and Fexnix update under DX12 DLSS quality. It does need some work to get this. If you wish to see this spead, this is what I did and without doing what I did it does not work as good as the above. Start the Fenix app to log in. Always do this before anything. Open task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) Task Manager. Details Tab. Find the Fenix app. Right click on it. Set Affinity ( you need to adapt this to you CPU and to the core MSFS likes to hammer in my case core 19) Windows stuff seems to always like core 0-1. So uncheck…

  25. Hello, Some people are often asking how to bind the push to talk key, set in Altitude, to their joystick. You cannot still assign a button directly in Altitude settings for MSFS, but only a key on your keyboard. I am a new user of Spad.neXt and, despite the excellent videos of Les O'Reilly (many thanks to him), and because I did not want to use vJoy interface as showned in these videos, I spent some hours to find a extremely simple solution to map correctly my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke (but it will work with any devices). I thought then it would be useful for other people, so I post it here (as on IVAO's forum). Follow these steps : - In Spad.neXt UI, select the jo…
