ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
In MSFS2020, loading the sim while using the Honeycomb Alpha would cause some sort of “switch state checking” so that whatever switches were “on” while I was in the menu would be “on” when I got into the sim. Now, in 2024, the sim ignores all switch positions when it loads. For example, if I have the HCA’s Battery and Alternator switches in the ON position and load a C172 “cold and dark”, the sim will load with those switches in the OFF position and I’ll have to toggle the physical switches twice. In MSFS2020, the sim loads with the switches matching the physical switch position on the HCA.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
I have zero mods in 2024.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Use the Honeycomb Alpha yoke peripheral. Start in the Free Flight or Main Menu. Set a variety of switches to the ON position (doesn’t matter which, Battery, Alternator, Avionics, Beacon light, etc.)
- Load a C172 G1000 in a GA Parking spot
- Get in the plane.
- Observe the position of the switches. The game switches will ALL be OFF regardless of the Honeycomb Alpha’s physical switch position. The magneto switch in game will also ignore the physical position of the HCA’s magneto switch.
This issue also works in the reverse. You can set all the HCA switches to OFF, load a C172 in mid-flight and the “expected” in-game switches will be ON (Battery, Alternator, AvBus1, AvBus2, Strobe light, and mags are set to Both).
