Wowsers

I would happily upload more such "Wowsers" moment screenshot if only I knew how to save and reload such situations, I can't believe it is not there somewhere? anybody any idea? if not, I will have to show bug screenshots instead, like this: the Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle switch in the new KingAir C90 is in-op, even though it turns blue and shows as clickable:

Regarding the bold part, can you explain that a little more plainly? I’m not understanding exactly what you did, especially that last bolded sentence. Thank you 

When you go to the menu page to set up a controller - (let us say for example, a Fulcrum yoke) - you will have several menu choices for what kind of axis or button you want to assign. “Flight Contols”, “Autopilot” etc. The first one I went to for my yoke was “Autopilot” because I wanted to assign the red button on the left yoke horn to “Autopilot Off”. I opened the “autopilot menu”, found the entry for that particular command and clicked on the box next to the command. At this point, it is waiting for input.

When I clicked the button, it identified it as (I believe) “Button 1”. At the same time it displayed a message that the assignment will be saved to a new aircraft-specific profile. I forget what MSFS called the profile, but the sim chose a name.

I wanted to use my own profile name called “generic”, so I just highlighted the box where the profile name was displayed, backspaced to clear it, and typed in my own profile name “generic”.

To the immediate right there are two click boxes: “make default” and “assign to all aircraft”. I checked both because that is exactly what I wanted - I.e. for the  new profile to load automatically when the sim is booted, and for that yoke button to act to turn off the autopilot on every airplane I use in the sim - large and small.

This profile naming has to be done the FIRST time you assign a button or axis on a specific controller. Once you have created your custom profile name, and selected “make default” and “assign to all aircraft” (if that is what you want to do) all additional button/axis assignments on that particular controller will automatically be placed into the new custom profile with the name you chose.

By contrast, you can set up a custom profile that is bonded to ONE specific aircraft, and loads automatically with that aircraft. In that case you would NOT select “make default” or “assign to all aircraft”, and you would probably want to pick an easily identified/remembered aircraft-specific profile name.

That way a yoke button that is used for “autopilot off” in one aircraft  could be used for a completely different function (like “drop water load”) in a different aircraft.

After completing all assignments for one controller, IF you then go to a different controller and start setting up initial axis/button assignments, after the FIRST assignment, you will once again have to chose a profile name, and chose whether to use “make default” and/or “assign to all aircraft”.

In my case, I do indeed want to use just one profile (“generic”) and have it used by all controllers and all aircraft, so I once again chose the profile name “generic”. The assignments for the new controller will then be appended to the previous “generic” profile already created for the previous controller.

You can call a profile anything you want - I chose the name “generic”, but you could just as well call it “BillyBob”

It takes much longer to explain all this than to actually do it, and once you have done a few assignments, it should become second nature. 

The new “controls” UI is in my opinion far “cleaner” and FAR more powerful than the corresponding UI in 2020 if you want to get into heavy aircraft-specific control assignments.

OTOH, it is easy to set up a new default profile that applies to all sim aircraft, which is my choice at this time.

The important things to remember if you want controller assignments to persist unchanged between sim sessions:

1). Use a custom profile name, and use the SAME profile name for all individual controllers.

2). Use the “Make Default” option.

3). Use the “Assign to all aircraft” option.

Yes, exactly all this. I figured this out yesterday through trial and error, and it has been smooth ever since. And now you get to see the value of this convoluted setup - it's very flexible. 

There seems to be an anti-crash/stress system I can't see to turn off. If you overstress or crash it just teleports you back into the air.

I've turned off Crash/Stress in the assistance settings, that just seems to stop it from just ending the flight not whatever this system is.

It's a pain because if you're doing a flight and the live weather has a hiccup it can sometimes cause enough force to overstress the aircraft.

Same here. Toolbar sometimes work in 2D and then randomly disappears, but does not work in VR

This is great stuff. This should be pinned. Thank you for explaining.

anybody can tell me how to SAVE and LOAD a flight in Free Flight mode as we could in MSFS2020? 

Great question, I don't see this function in the game anywhere.

When I assign a custom registration, it does not stick.  Also, the registration does not show up on the G36 Bonanza panel.  This was all working nicely in 2020.

When I create a flightplan in the EFB and "Transfer to avionics", the G1000 shows a garbled version of the flightplan.

Has anyone figured out how to load a pln flightplan?  Is there a directory it needs to be in?

After landing and taxing to the parking lot, I was just setting there and one of the ground people just walked right through my plane.  He did it several times.

I’ve noticed this tonight. Switching between live weather and a preset seems to trigger this anti crash system.

FSLTL causes ctd. Somehow injecting at airport does nit work well. 

Just found another one: using the teleport window from dev-menu instantly drops my FPS to 5. After I somehow mange to select my new destination frames return to normal.

So now it crashes if I want to choose another aircraft.
Seems everyday it's something else.

UK here which is still having bad server problems. After 3 days of only loading into a flight once, I have found a more consistent way of being able to actually fly. Instead of trying to start at an airport or runway, if I just choose to start a flight airborne, I can quite consistently actually fly. Not ideal, but I'll take it over the game constantly hanging on the world map!
