Have to say Asobo, the new peripheral UI is one of the most complex, confusing things I’ve ever gone through in a flight sim. How could this be worse than the previous iteration? Questions: Why can’t my TCA Thrustmeter Officer Pack just work and be configured like it was in MSFS 2020? I don’t ever…

I thought it was quite simple. The first set of options are general, non-aircraft specific commands, like pause, switch to VR etc. The second set refer to the main aircraft type you chose, for example C172. This will be used for controls common to all the C172 variants, like thrust, flaps etc. T…

Cheers, I think the 3 sets are: Set type. : Prefix in assignments 1 General commands. | “General” 2 Airplane commands. | “Airplanes” 3 Plane specific. | “Specific” Specific is like “PFD Soft Key 1”. The first G1000 key. Aircraft is like “Flaps down” General is like “Zoom…

By contrast, XPlane 12 is far simpler. Each profile contains: all commands for all peripherals For example, one profile called “X1000” that contains all the above: “A (1+3), B (1+2), C (1+2+3), D(1)” The types 1, 2 and 3 disappear to become “all commands” Note: MSFS is theoretically more flexib…

What we really need is for them to provide some decent documentation on this convoluted mess. I too am a developer of over 30 years and it confuses me as well.

At work, chatting over coffee we often discussed how to make our product look simpler for beginners. One level down, powerful commands for the experts were available. It’s a difficult balance to establish, but it was our philosophy. When developers get a bit confused about the combinations and pe…

[image] MSFSRonS: See if my explanation helps. Thx @MSFSRonS , well done. While I haven’t tested it, I believe not saving bindings is related to where you stated: "Be careful of which the Presets are displayed when executing the “Save and Back”. I believe the sim will only save those exact …

[image] PilotJedi668: we often discussed how to make our product look simpler for beginners. You call it a philosophy, I call it a product requirement. And yet here we are trying to reverse engineer a product released globally in order to understand how to use it.

We should be able to save without being forced to go back…
