FOD

Old but not grumpy - but I do wonder why.? “Change for changes sake” or do people see a significant benefits in the new GUI, control settings etc etc

Just tried a third route and the calculator worked perfectly - so something in those first two routes must be the problem. I’ll do some digging!

Thanks - I’ll take a shot but the problem is that even with all details input, the “calculate” button is still dim and not active.

Appreciate this is an old thread but I have just come back to FBW and have a problem with the new calculator. I have read the documentation several times and everything appears to run perfectly in iuploading all the data from the OFP and metar. Yet the calculate button remains inactive. My FBW install is the latest development version and I have other routes - all with no success. Must be missing something so v grateful for any help.

Support is currently provided on the Flight One Discord channels - you would have used Discord when you bought the Max8.

If you love the 737, why not try the Max?

Thanks folks but it’s nothing to do with the PMDG FMC selection. With either addon aircraft, the NWS setting will not accept an axis whereas with a default aircraft it does. Odd! Not sure how I can return back to default without a full msfs reinstall - yuk!?

With default aircraft, I can select an axis from my HOTAS in the Controls - Misc - Nose Wheel Steering Axis setting and once validated, the white bar below the axis setting moves showing it is recognised as an axis and the NWS works correctly in the sim. However, I have now spent several hours trying to figure out why this does not work in PMDG 737. I have just checked with FBW 320 and found the same problem. i have also found that ONLY with those addon aircraft, when I select an axis, the setting is not recognised as an axis ie the white bar is frozen and does not react to inputs. I have ensured no other settings are set to the same axis, I have tried 3 different HOTAS axes, I gave reinstalled PMDG twice and made a clean install of FBW 320. Finally, I again checked the default 747 - it recognises the axis and that axis controls NWS in the sim! No idea where to look next so v grateful for advice ……….

Thanks for the help. Afraid my old brain was a bit behind the drag curve last night and I forgot that I had to set the install folder twice - once for Steam and later for Microsoft. Think I have got it downloading to the right place now - fingers crossed. BTW you are lucky to get full fibre - I am near EGXW and no sign of fibre yet

Setting up a new pc. I uninstalled msfs on old pc, then ran the as team install on my new pc. When it reached 25%, I left it overnight. When I checked this morning, it showed 190 G downloaded although I noticed no shortcut on the desktop and when I checked in the PC only 1.9 G downloaded. I have reset on line services and checked my MS account with no change. Odd as I had no problems installing on my old PC V grateful for any help.

No - they are now two separate aircraft. In fact the default 320 is fine.

Thanks for the help folks. I had tried the utf8 check and also ensured the default 320 was present. Not sure I understand the DevMode point as I have never even opened the DevMode. of interest, I have tried several default ac plus addons from gliders to the DC Concorde along with updates to the tbm930 etc -All ok. Also tried the SuperJet but as this appears to basically the FBW 320, I wasn’t surprised when it had exactly the same failings. After 25 years of flt sim, nothing surprises me but this is a bit frustrating………l

Which made no difference - installed FBW in the new clean Community Folder, launched MSFS and still exactly the same problem - a totally uncontrollable cockpit. Spent today looking other options - graphics driver etc without any success.. …….?

Thanks folks. I had tried everything suggested except to delete the Community Folder - this results in MSFS doing a full 130gb reinstall! With my internet speed this will take all night but at least tomorrow I will have a new clean MSFS to work with……….

Away for a month so MSFS automatically updated to the latest version including removing all my settings! Reset everything and checked with a default aircraft that all was ok. Then updated FBW 320 and restarted MSFS and then selected FBW which loaded totally corrupt: - engines were on with Parking Brake showing on yet aircraft moved forward - all glass instruments blank - increasing power on joystick engines increase )sound) but vc throttles do not move - rotary knobs turn ok but no “click” actions work etc etc so far I have tried everything listed in the FBW guidance including three clean reinstalls. Before this update I have had no problems with FBW so v grateful for any suggestions a to where I might look for a solution……….
