Thanks. You know whatâs funny, I scrolled through the first 1100 posts before giving up.

Is there a way to replace the GPS with one of the GTN units?
Is there any update planned? There are still a few issues left with this plane.
Visual (Sherpa C23A only?): The right âfanâ switch is broken, if switched on the lever is shown in both positions (see image).
Input: The âToggle Propeller Syncâ input does not affect the propeller sync of the plane.
Autopilot:
1.) When setting up the auto pilot on the ground including activating HDG mode and engaging the auto pilot too low to the ground, the auto pilot is switch off again (as expected), but the HDG button stays lit.
2.) When switch from NAV to HDG any vertical selected mode (e.g. ALT) is cleared.
How to use Xbox controller to toggle switches with three operating positions ? any advice would be appreciated.
If you press and hold A when selecting the switch you can then move it with the thumb stick (canât remember which, pretty sure itâs the left one) while still holding A.
Some of the switches do behave a bit strangely with this, itâs almost like itâll toggle from middle position, to bottom, then to top.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but does this plane load flightplans from the default flight planner?
Yes it does.
There is still a couple of persistent bug with the AFCS. If you disconnect the autopilot using the Z key with any lateral mode apart from HDG engaged, NAV, APPR and BC modes will become inoperative for the rest of the flight. Additionally you canât disconnect the autopilot using the âTOGGLE AUTOPILOT DISENGAGEâ keybind. It causes the DIS yellow announciator to flash on the panel but the servos stay in. A walkaround is to disable all modes before disconnecting the autopilot
Are there plans to fix the HSI CDI not showing GPS course deviation in this? Itâs been a broken item since day one and Iâd love to see it working. Flags and distance change when in GPS mode but CDI needle does not

I mentioned it back in November last year, in this thread, with a video demonstrating the issue.

Graham, any further updates planned for the Shorts?

I wish weâd get visible cargo. The Islander has visible cargo, why doesnât the Shorts?
Also I want to use my PMS GTN750 in this. I wish we had the choice to enable it.

Fixing the HSI when in GPS mode would be nice.

Anybody know if thereâs a way to remove the copilot from the right seat WITHOUT removing the weight? Like is there an option in the config files somewhere to hide it?
In one of the config files there is a line that defines the weight which triggers the co-pilot to appear. I just made that weight really large so it never triggers. Iâm not at my computer to check, but itâs one of the âinternalâ XML files, from memory.
Iâve removed 2020 from my system now, so canât check properly, but for this issue I suspect even that would work okay in 2024.
I just pulled out a backup of the plane, and I believe it is this line in the file âBBS_Shorts_General.xmlâ:
(A:PAYLOAD STATION WEIGHT:3, pounds) 0 !=
If that station is anything other than 0, make pilot 1 visible. If you change that line to "500 >=" that should make the pilot only appear if the co-pilot is 500lbs or more.
Alternatively you can comment out that entire section of code. See the tags â<!ââ, and â-->â.
