PART ONE

I fly with Saitek Pro Pedals, Yoke, Trim Wheel, Throttle Quad, Multi Switch Panel.

All binders are set and work wonderful for the planes in the sim and a couple freewares.

I just bought the Flysimware C414 and TDS GTNxi.  What a great combo, perfect.  Except.

What I found out is that if I click any switch on my Saitek multi switch panel, it immediately flicks off the Avionics (the avionic bus switch in the C414 gets turned off) and of course my GTN gauges and I lose my flight plan and of course my nav/gps.  I can immediately use the in cockpit switch to turn the TDS GTNs back on.  But I have lost my flt plan. This is unbelievably annoying. 

Means I can't turn on my taxi lights, landing lights, nav lights, strobe etc from my panel without lose of avionics.

I'm not sure if this is somehow linked to some obscure binding or something like this

Has anyone got some insight into this problem?

PART TWO

This is a broader issue.  I like to use the pop out gauges, and I like to move the weather and ATC drop-downs over to my second monitor.

If I start to "play" around with the weather say, cloud layers or time of day, in the modules, whatever, my yoke and rudder pedal decouple from their bindings. I am flying without controls.  I found that I could pause, (escape) for 30 seconds and then resume, and my bindings would be reconnected. 

What is that all about?  Anyone, with similar experience?  Or knows how it might be fixed?

to clarify

You need to take this to the developers discord. The real experts on this topic will be found there. They even have sub forums on various mapping software.

OK thanks for this.

another option might be to use an external product that interfaces all kinds of external hardware to the sim called Axisand Ohs by Lorby, they have a free demo version:

without controls but rudder pedal bindings??

I would temporarily disconnect any USB devices, except keyboard and mouse.

One Part one, a fellow over there helped my out.  I was using the full start up procedure inside the cockpit and totally forget that my avionics switch was not turned on. So when I engaged any other switch from my multi-switch, it say my avionics switch was not one and shut down the planes switch.  Boy do I feel dumb, so as soon as I ensure my avionics switch is turned on I'm good to go, no more issues.

Yes I can pull the USB and replug in, provided I haven't yet crashed and it reconnects.  But this does not resolve the bigger issue, as soon as I start "messing" with the drop down menus again, for some reason, I loose my flight controls for a period.  As I mention if I just escape out for a short while, they reengage.

OK not familiar with this, I will check it out see how it works perhaps it may contain a solution. Thanks.

it is not a turn key ready solution, requires time to study it. not everybody's cup of tea. if you can do without, might be easier for you.

This is why I use a power hub.  Not enough power to your hub if you are using one can cause all sorts of random issues.

yes, always recommended for devices with LEDs or lots of other lights and power hungry electronics like the Saitek panels.

Yes agreed, I have a 10 port UBS 3 power hub.  But I also have a number of other things plugged in and at times going, so perhaps I'm getting a power drain or something, I will have to explore this some more.
