  1. Thanks everyone for such great insight! It's good to know Asobo has acknowledge this. For now I think I'll try to engage VS HOLD via the key command in Mobiflight, and work it from that angle.
  2. Hey Pete! Thanks for the response, also thanks for making such a great product. Yes, I mean the Autopilot VS Hold option. I've tried the "AUTOPILOT VERTICAL HOLD" assignment and it doesn't seem to do anything. I fly a lot of GA, and in FS2020 since it's so VFR focused a lot of the GA aircraft use the G1000. Also, I'm using a 3D printed G1000 bezel to save some money and there is a really nice opensource one on thingaverse. I've even tried to bind a key to Autopilot Vertical Hold in FS2020 and bind that same key in mobiflight but it doesn't seem to be working as expected... like for some reason the keys bound in mobiflight don't work in FS2020 -- but that's not really an FSUIPC7 issue. I understand that what I'm asking is very much outside the realm of FSUIPC7, I'm just curious if anyone else has had this issue yet or if they have figured out some sort of workaround. I've also posted in the Mobiflight Forums. Thanks again for your time.
  3. Great..... I have a theory, that since the VS button doesn't technically exist on the typical radio stack Autopilots they implemented it differently for the G1000. Same idea with the VNAV button which also seems to be an LVar. I'm not sure where to go from here now with my autopilot build. Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts as to how I can complete this? I know MS2020 is still super early in terms of community development, I'm just curious if there is anything available today or something being worked on?
  4. Sorry excuse my ignorance, but would that be something missing from FSUIPC or something missing from Asobo's implementation of SimConnect? Also, functionally behind the scenes, why would the VS button in the G1000 be any different than say the HDG button?
  5. Hey guys, I'm working on creating my own autopilot hardware using an Arduino and Mobiflight. I've got most of the buttons mapped, however it seems Vertical Speed toggle isn't working. When I open the FSUIPC console and push the VS button on the G1000 I see no log messages, where-as if I do it with other buttons I see the eventID. Any help? Am I missing something?
  6. Thanks for the response. A2A mentioned it was my steam version of FSX, I set the effects to Medium and all my aircraft lights came on. Still strange that they worked when loading the fsuipc save. Regardless thanks for your time!
  7. OK, I know this isn't the support forums for A2A however I've found a very strange bug that it seems only FSUIPC can fix. I've already posted on the A2A forums about this, I just thought I'd post here as well. I'm getting an issue in FSX with my A2A C172 Trainer where the beacon and strobe lights won't work. Even the nav lights and landing lights are really dim. HOWEVER when I load up the FSUIPC "last flight" save everything works perfectly! When I load up a manual save, like a save I make myself, the lights still don't work. Really really strange issue... Pete, oh god of fsx, any thoughts? I know you probably don't support A2A stuff, but can you think of anything specific?
