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……….

Interesting. I am just setting up a new win 11 pc and also have problems. I first download a new installer from AIG - running that led to it updating in a loop with no way to stop it except talk manager. So I tried the last installer from my old pc (different version to the one downloaded) - that installed ok without updates and I began reinstalling my UK FP. First two (jet2 and wiz) no problems. Then for both RYN and BAW I had to download aircraft - always SOP in the past. But in this time one of the downloads crashed and froze AIM. Now, when I try to install those fp, AIM crashes the moment I select “install”, Tried all the usual - delete re-installing etc with no change. Posted on the AIG forum but I suspect they are concentrating on MSFS nowadays so v grateful for any advice here.

“Any similarities with any other teaser?” Think that one was a nose wheel ….. interesting tho’

Thanks Ray but that is the version I am using - the latest for v5.4. Problem is this version does not include the AI Traffic sample that allows us to check the connection.

Setting up new Win11 PC with my old Win 10 PC on network for support programmes. in the past I have always installed the correct files on both pc and then used the sample AI Traffic.exe to confirm that all was working. However with the latest 5.4 sim connect, there is no AI Traffic sample so I cannot see a simple check that the installation on both pc is correct. Grateful for advice on any other easy way to confirm simconnect is set up correctly, Many thanks
