softkeys not working on Streamdeck unless I edit profile

Featured Replies

Hi, hoping this is the right forum.

I have a Stream Deck Plus & XL, and some functions are working in the sim but not all. My setup is:

 

What works:

  • Most of the AP / nav / radio buttons on the Stream Deck Plus profile (setting radios, heading, altitude, etc)
  • Seemingly almost nothing on the MFD/PFD controls on either the Stream Deck Plus or XL (e.g., MFD softkeys).

The softkey names change and light up dynamically to match the in-game cockpit (e.g. if I click on "engine" in the sim, I see the "engine" key light up on the StreamDeck and the subpage buttons appear), but pressing them on the stream deck does nothing to the sim. I have done all the usual troubleshooting (ports for webapi etc) but I don't believe this to be the problem as the setup is working for other keys/dials. 

Furthermore, I did some digging with Wireshark to inspect the API calls etc, and noticed the following call when pressing one of the softkeys:

2431    12.128369    192.168.1.17    192.168.1.17    HTTP    423    GET /webapi?json=%7B%22setvars%22%3A%5B%7B%22var%22%3A%22(%3EIE%3AAS1000_MFD_1_Softkey_1)%22%2C%22value%22%3A%221%22%7D%5D%7D HTTP/1.1 

I noticed here the variable name for the softkey was AS1000_MFD_1_Softkey_1

Using the Lorby Profile Editor, I see the same variable listed under "simevt" for that key.

However, if I change this value to AS1000_SOFTKEY_1_MFD and save the profile, suddenly that key works as expected, and controls the MFD properly. 

So ... what am I missing? Did something change in the sim to break the latest profile? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Did you install the specialized MSFS 2024 version of the G1000 bridge?
