Hi, great tool, thanks... but acceleration is not working for me. Any idea why? The knob will only increment altitude at 100ft increments, no matter how fast I turn it. As you can imagine this makes it worse than the 1000ft bug in most situations. :(

Thank you so much for the tool. I have set everything up and added the MobiFlight plugin and it works great for almost everything. There is only one thing I cannot figure out. When in autopilot mode (Rockers 1 & 2 OFF), I can activate everything except Flight Level Change button. When I press it, IAS, nothing happens and I can't change FLC speed. When I press FLC on the sim, the button on Bravo TQ does light up and goes into FLC mode. I tried to look at the xml, but everything seems to have mapped correctly, assuming KEY.ALT.KEY_F is the right event (I suspect it is) so what can be going wrong? I am using the Extra profile as I want to control G1000 as well. Has anyone else experienced this? I can live without FLC, but would have loved to have it as well. Thanks.

Update: Upon further investigation, it seems pressing IAS button brings up the FSUIPC7 window, but does not work for FLC. I don't get any errors, it's just the IAS button brings up FSUIPC7. Has anyone seen this?

Update 2: Yup, I figured it out. As I read through the doc, I realized exactlly what you just said. I had different mapping for ALT+F. So I added a mapping for ALT+I and changed the xml and.... IT WORKED :):):) Thank you so much for this. It now works flawlessly and is awesome. I can now update Nav, Coms, Range on MFD (The best option in my opinion) and everything else without the mouse. Amazing work!!!!

Don't do what I did. I accidently opened FS_tools twice, so there were two copies of the program running. The result - everying incremented in 3s (altitude and VS in 300 ft, heading bug in 3 degrees, etc). Guess it was sending the signal at least twice and being interpreted three times. So if FS_tools appears to be acting up, check you didn't accidently start two copies of the program.

Follow Up. I do not know if these issues are problems with MSFS or not. While using the Alpha Yoke and the Brava TQ, I was unable to get the Master Avionics Switch to work. (Setting up for the Baron 58). Also, the Alpha Yoke Alternator switch turns on Alternator 1. I checked the XML file and it was set to Alternator 1. I changed it TOGGLE_MASTER ALTERNATOR and it still only turns on Alternator 1.
So I have three remaining problems with the rocker switches on the Alpha:
1. I would like to turn on Alternator 1 and Alternator 2 with the Alternator Rocker Switch, 2. I can not turn on the Avionics Master with Avionics Buss 1 Rocker Switch. 3. Are there a Avionics Buss 1 and Buss 2 System Events? I could not find them in the SDK Docs. Still very happy with the setup using FS Tool.

I figured it out! I am programming all my switches on my TQ now. I have it all working now. Alpha Yoke, Bravo TQ, Thrustmaster Pedals, TrackIR, and Little NavMap on second computer. FS Tool was key, Thanks!

I used FS Tool to get my Bravo TQ working using the instruction provided. (Thanks for FS Tool!) I even edited the XML file to assign Rocker Switches to the order I wanted to use. This week I received my Alpha Yoke (YAY!). I used the Bravo with Yoke Profile and it worked (HDG Bug and ALT working correctly). Light switches worked. (I fly the Baron 58 and I have one Alternator switch that I need to investigate. Now I have a Bravo TQ with a row of unassigned rocker switches that I want to assign to things like De-Ice, Fuel Pumps.... I was OK editing the XML field when the sim events were listed and I just had to change the button number. For adding a SimEvent, say TOGGLE_PROPELLER_SYNC or something in the Baron, do I just add it to the line of the Bravo TQ with Alpha Yoke on the line of the correct button, under SimEvent? Do I need a SimVar? I am not sure what to put under SimVar. Can I get some discussion on adding an event to the TQ?

Thank you so much for this mod. It is easy to use an setup.

The download includes a single xml file that includes profiles for Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quad. it also includes a combined Alpha and Bravo profile that removes the light switches from the Bravo (as those are on the Alpha). The xml file is easy to edit in notepad and each controller as the template code, as well a a REM at the end telling you the default key binding in MSFS.

In MSFS - just create a new profile (I called mine FS-tools), and then remove the binding for the always on buttons (all the rocker switches, the rotary switches and gear level). You can leave the autopilot switches as set by MSFS.

If you plan to remove throttle handles and place the rubber covers in the unused one - these only fit if the handle stub is all the way down. This is actually pressing on a switch in this position, creating the always on bug that FS-tools is working around. So if you do this, like for the TBM 930 where you only need two), in MSFS joystick controls for the Bravo quadrant, copy the FS_tool profile you created. Put the dust covers on the unused axis's, and you will see the pressed down switch in the joystick control (it will be highlighted in white - button number are in the 20s). Unbind these.

Again a big thank you for this workaround.

In the default profile, it says that rocker switch 1 and 2 is not mapped, but something wrong.

When starting the engine on the DA40 TDI, LowVolt and Alternator warnings are displayed.

So, turn on rocker switches 1 and 2 and these warnings will disappear.

If I don't use FS_Tool, the warnings not be displayed.

What does the rocker switch 1 and 2 do?

-

I followed the manual and removed all the in-game mappings for the rocker switches, the rotary 5-way switch, the Gear Lever and the INC/DEC knob.
(But other button is not removed, like Flaps, autopilot.)

hello the software does not work with the Alpha yoke.
I tried everything but I still have the bug

I am unclear on how to use this to make the Bravo TQ work, if anyone here as figured it out and could help me I would love it, i'm not too good at figuring things out and im exiceted about finally getting my Bravo, so if i find out how I will delete this, if it is still here please help lol
