October 7, 20232 yr After finally getting AAO to somewhat work with Stream Deck Plus (at least they see each other).... Created a simple toggle button to toggle the Flight Director... Button on SD+ works but it doesn't in the sim. After much online searching... Discovered that the default WEBAPI ports have changed (why?).... Not reflected in the (with lastest AAO version) Change Web API address window (still on 9080)... Changed the ports to 43380... Stream Deck Plugin -> IP:localhost, Port:43380 now in black (was red when ports were set to 9080..... STILL NOT CHANGING IN SIM. Seems to me that the barrier to entry for this stuff huge. I've been simming for 20 years and know a fair amount but this takes the cake. All of the help videos seem to be outdated regularly as new versions constantly change things. I should think that creating a simple toggle switch that acutally gets toggled in the sim should be a no brainer. Instead it seems more like assembly programming. Sorry for the rant, but I think that if companies like Lorby and SPAD want to grow they should make entry a lot smoother.

Many customers had problems with the default Logitech software blocking it, so it was decided to change it to something uncommon. 7 hours ago, n116dh said: Created a simple toggle button to toggle the Flight Director. There is nothing simple with MSFS. Every aircraft potenitally has different variables and events that you have to somehow mix together and actuate. The aircraft developers can invent them at will, and IMHO it is their responsibility to publish instructions about how to acess their creations from the outside. But they rarely do. So when you get the communication between the two (StreamDeck plugin and AAO) working (make sure to download the latest versions of both, make sure that the ports match, make sure to run AAO "As Administrator") then the question remains if you have the correct assets for making that particular button work in that particular aircraft. Best course of action is to look for ready made SD profiles on flightsim.to and take it from there. 7 hours ago, n116dh said: they should make entry a lot smoother. How I wish that this was possible. Trying to help people with this is a significant effort, not covered in any way by the sales returns. But that is just how things are. LORBY-SI

October 7, 20232 yr I would second that sentiment. As a new and bemused user of AAO and an SD+, I am indeed grateful for the recent help and advice I have received here.
October 7, 20232 yr I own 3 @Lorby_SI products. All three are innovative and "must-haves" for me. Oliver, you have always been extremely helpful. My MSFS 2020 repaints: Flightsim.to - Profile of HStreet Working on MSFS 2024 versions.
