Mark, I just wanted to say thanks for your very helpful and detailed videos. Even thought this video was about the Bravo Quadrant, I was able to determine how to fix an ongoing problem that I had in MSFS with the NAV button not staying on when I loaded a GPS flight plan. Your video helped me to appreciate that it is probably a conflict in my assignments on my controllers. By deleting the conflict the Nav button works again Thanks a bunch! Lee

Hi Mark, thanks for all your videos - they are a wealth of information, well put together and most helpful for technically challenged people such as myself. I do find, however, that the rate of presentation is a bit too fast to enable me to take in and comprehend what you are demonstrating. Consequently I have to stop and replay the videos a number of times to obtain a full understanding.

Hi Greg, it is often difficult to find the right balance in a tutorial, both in terms of video size and my time availability. Your point is noted however and thanks for watching. Stay safe.

[@bene7384]

Hi guys, regarding the IAS light fix: We simply didn’t have an input controller layout for the Bravo, when we wrote the LED profile. So we could not know, which button would be mapped to which autopilot function but could only make educated guesses and try to map the LEDs accordingly. So, depending on which aircraft you fly the LEDs might work, or not work. As simply not all aircraft use the same autopilot functionality. I hope that clears it up a little. Have fun with your Bravos! Greets, Ben from Aerosoft

Hi Ben, thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Regards

Hello , Please can you explain the beggining of your control setting. Im missing the bit where you say you move the throttle filter to search how is this done?

Sorry im quite new to Flight simming but i am an electronics engineer by hobby as well as an ex Military Special forces Commando. I say ex as Helmand province claimed my left leg. MSFS is amazing and takes me back to places i never thought i would fly over again. But it helps if you have suitable working flight hardware and software.Thank you, Great vid!!

[@SimHangerFS]

The search function, on the left hand side of the MSFS controls option menu allows you to find things quicker by typing in a name etc, rather than scroll through hundreds of options. You can change the filter search options to all…assigned etc to make it easier to find .

Hey Mark, I was hoping you'd reprise this video with the newest MSFS version.

I can't seem to get my flaps working for anything using the axis tools.

[@samantharyan2026]

Hi Mark, I followed your instructions correctly but the LED light won't come out. I installed MSFS in different hard drive, would that's the problem?

[@cheetahfish]

The workaround I use for the hdg changing in 10 degree increments and vs/alt incrementing in 1000 ft increments is to use fsuipc. It only happens if you have a switch mapped in MSFS that is always on, like a toggle/rocker switch or even the mag switch on the Alpha I've heard. Hard to believe that bug is still around.

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks for the tip 😁

[@cheetahfish]

@Wealthy Wealthy They fixed that bug a long time ago, weird. FSUIPC is basically used for mapping controls outside of the flight sim and it gives a more options for things you can map. I don't use FSUIPC anymore since it came out of beta and you have to buy it and I didn't need it after they fixed the 10 degree bug. Although come to think of it when I tried a default plane awhile back it seemed to have that issue, but I never fly default planes since they are all completely broken now. I only fly the justflight pipers and they don't have that issue.

Hello, the Honeycomb quality is significantly better than the Saitek quality, they use a harder plastic, better components etc. For VR, in my opinion, many of the features of the Bravo will not be accessible as you can't see the unit when flying.

[@SimHangerFS]

When you press autopilot the aircraft will react to whatever the autopilot settings are. Often it will default to heading mode for example...so the aircraft will turn to the set heading. Press heading button and it will turn heading mode off etc. There is also Nav mode (GPS). The other possibility is that you have two bindings set to a button or axis. So you are pressing a button or moving an axis and it is also moving the ailerons as well causing the aircraft to bank. Check all your bindings in the control section. Regards

I see that. I get mine today! I noticed in FS if you If you click you can get a degree but mouse wheel I get 10. Steam gauges are 10. I hope they fix that. I like flying direct VOR on Departure then transition to GPS. Enjoy your content. Long time simmer here. Since FS98 and Real Lic with Instrument Rating. Really Love pushing my IFR skills in FS. Thank you

Hi Marc, have you tried an ILS approach with the Mooney M20R? I can’t get it to capture the glide slope for some reason. It works fine in the older 172, and I’d think that they would be the same. 🤷‍♂️

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi Jason, no I haven’t got this aircraft, might be a bespoke function? Regards

[@bluesfool1]

@@SimHangerFS I actually got it to work loading the approach into the gns530 instead of using the world map. Go figure

I'm waiting, like many, for my Throttle. Will the drivers help with my Alpha Yoke? The lights don't all map in light GA aircraft. Just a few work right now.

[@SimHangerFS]

No the drivers will not have any impact on the Alpha yoke. Regards

I installed the Bravo Throttle quadrant LED LIGHT but no light come out. Check on Control, every work fine. Please tell me what's the problem ?

[@SimHangerFS]

The Bravo settings will only initially be installed in the default profile. Others may need to be recreated. Check if working in default. Regards

[@solgoode1]

Could you guys do a video on a little C+ coding so I could get the rest of the switches to work on the Bravo throttle since they cause a game breaking bug that won't allow you to select precise headings, altitudes, vor settings, radio settings etc.? Thanks : )

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, this is a MSFS bug, hopefully they will sort this in the not too distant future. Regards

[@OhioPrepperOne]

This video didn’t help me at all with getting the lights to work, anyone recommend a better video for lights ? Thanks

[@Mista_Spicy]

But when u turn the pc off and turn it back on and go into MSFS for a flight the lights wont turn on, how to fix???

[@SimHangerFS]

The installed driver should be in your community folder. AFC_Bridge.

[@Mista_Spicy]

@@SimHangerFS wdym by that i have downloaded and then it is fine but after another flight the lights do not work after than until i install it again

[@SimHangerFS]

@@Mista_Spicy check the file is in your community folder. Also this file only loads if the bravo is connected before the sim starts.

I cant get the ias to control the 747 throttle, it controls the display I can see the triangle but the throttle will not change. I'm having to manually use the throttle.

[@SimHangerFS]

You need to activate auto throttle in the cockpit as well. Then it will work. Regards

[@rothwellrebel9572]

Still cannot get the AutoPilot to work properly in the A320 Fly-By-Wire. The glass cockpit shows autopilot on -AP1- and so is the HDG. I cannot get the AutoPilot master button to light up. And as for the Altitude, I can't get that to work. I have the latest drivers from Aerosoft for 'AFC Bridge'.

[@SimHangerFS]

The FBW mod uses some bespoke, non-standard mappings. That is why your having difficulty with config. No solution that I have found without third party apps.

[@gregthegroove]

How do I get the darn throttle to stop going up/down in increments of 10 for IAS and HDG and 1,000’s for ALT? It’s so frustrating man. It shouldn’t be this hard. Is there a fix for this? Even when using the on screen knobs with the mouse, it only goes up or down by 10’s/1,000’s when the throttle is plugged in.

[@SimHangerFS]

Next update I am believe.....it is such a pain I am frustrated they haven't fixed this basic issue yet.

[@gregthegroove]

@@SimHangerFS I can’t get the knob on screen by scrolling with the mouse either to work correctly. It has to do with the binding of the lights switches from what I’ve been told, however I unblinded every button including all the knobs and buttons up top with just the throttles, flap, spoilers, gear and still get the issue. Someone told me to go look into FS Tool over on flightsim.to They said it gets it to work perfectly. Gonna try today. Have you heard of it?

[@SimHangerFS]

@@gregthegroove have you checked the bindings for the mouse. It’s function is not linked to the switches in any way as far as I am aware. I’ve not heard of the app you mention. The 10’s/1000 problem is coded into the sim so will appear regardless of what you use. There are a few hacks out there to resolve the problem, but they are only a temporary solution. Regards

[@gregthegroove]

@@SimHangerFS what bindings for the mouse that would have an effect on the throttle that I should be looking for that shouldn’t be there? Can you help me understand so that I can go look around? Thnnx

[@SimHangerFS]

@@gregthegroove Hello, I'm not sure I understand what your asking. You can move dials in the cockpit by using the center wheel on the move. It does not support changing the settings (ie heading) by dragging left of right like Xplane.

[@bobwfromtheusa3602]

FYI, the LED driver download from Aerosoft/Honeycomb will only work if you purchased MSFS2020 from xBox/Microsoft. I purchased my version through Valve/Steam. When I ran the install .exe file, it failed because it could not find the folder stream that Steam created to install and run the program. I would be interested if others out there have experience the same issue and if there is a fix for this. The folders it was looking for under Packages are Community and Official, whatever those are. Can I just create them and run the .exe again, and hope the drivers install properly?

[@SimHangerFS]

There is no config app for MSFS as there is for p3d and Xplane. It should load directly into MSFS controls. Regards

[@bobwfromtheusa3602]

Thanks for the reply. This is something the Aerosoft or Honeycomb needs to fix asap. Their .exe program, unlike every other install program I have run during the last 20 years, doesn't allow you to change the load path, it is apparently hard-coded and can't be modified. Terrible, lazy programming on their part IMO. As an experiment, I created the Community and Official folders it couldn't find so they would exist and ran the .exe again. Guess what, it ran successfully to completion this time (no run time error) but since the drivers are not in the place Steam loaded MSFS to, the led lights on the throittle quadrant still don't work. Steam puts their version under a "Roaming" folder, whereas Aerosoft puts them under the "Local" folder. Until they change the config to allow me to change it to where I want it to be, i.e. "Roaming", the driver(s) will never be installed where they need to be.

[@airmanmd8135]

Have been having trouble setting up the bravo with p3dv4.5?

[@SimHangerFS]

I have not really had a hard look at P3D confit yet, but no doubt it will be a challenge due to the poor config interface. Regards

[@quinnyrethus]

I can't have both the Alpha and the Bravo plugged in at the same time or MSFS 2020 crashes. I can have each one plugged in seperately though. Any ideas?

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, I have both plugged in, as well as other peripherals....that is weird. The only thing I can think of, and it’s a long shot, is going into device manager via the control panel in windows and checking power management is off for all your USB ports. Also make sure both are plugged in before you start MSFS. Regards

[@quinnyrethus]

@@SimHangerFS I’ll try that as well. If I install the LED fix I actually get an error after the crash. I might try a fresh install after as well.

[@SimHangerFS]

@@quinnyrethus what’s the error message?

[@quinnyrethus]

@@SimHangerFS sim connect failed to call dispatch. Also the crash occurs after I first start MSFS and go strait to controls, all inputs are blank then it crashes with that error. If I clear the community folder it does the same thing but no error msg. Very weird and I’m thinking maybe a full fresh install might be needed. It’s a AFCBridge error msg.

[@quinnyrethus]

@@SimHangerFS ok so the problem is after MSFS latest update it doesn’t ignore any peripherals over 10 that you have plugged in, it crashes and the Bravo Throttle was my #11. Had to remove one I wasn’t using and now MSFS works fine with Alpha and Bravo together.

[@MM-oh3zs]

yeah seems like asobo broke another thing. I've tried it Today with new bravo and beside all controls being badly assigned, leds are not working (with installed plugin for fs2020) and creating new profile just deleted all assignments...
