The CUSTOM and INFO sub-directories are strictly informational for the user, they have nothing to do with the actual install. The Flysimware_C414AW_Chancellor.exe is the installer file and it does not make any use of the files in the CUSTOM and INFO directories. Al

I don't have any problems with the HDG bug or the altitude selector. Are you using a default FSW livery and have the latest PMS50 GTN update? Al

FSW C414 Chancellor Major Update 03/05/2024
ark replied to btacon's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I don't have the problem, and I have not seen any similar reports on the FSW Discord site, so I assume something is not right with your setup. If you have the latest version of the C414 (v4.4.5), then try reinstalling it. And of course, use a default FSW livery. If that doesn't fix the problem, then I would try the Community folder test I outlined above to check for some other conflict. If you don't own the TDS GTN750Xi Pro, then you can buy it at https://www.tdssim.com/ Al -
Weather and Time Slider Options Greyed Out?
ark replied to ark's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
That worked!! He had to turn on Multiplayer on the General Options > Data menu, and was then able to select ALL PLAYERS as you showed above. We both thank you very much! 😃 Al -
Weather and Time Slider Options Greyed Out?
ark replied to ark's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I think he has Multiplayer turned off under General Options > Data so that button is greyed out. But I will have him turn Multiplayer on at least long enough so he can select ALL PLAYERS if that is not what he currently has selected. Thanks for the idea! Al -

The "rename" the Community folder experiment did not work. ☹️ -

He did say he tried taking almost everything out of the Community folder, but I'll pass this on and report back. Thanks! Al -

Thanks for the suggestion, but he assures me that is on. In fact, I had him duplicate all my data settings, but the problem persists. Al -

Unfortunately, the problem persists even when loading a new flight plan with a default aircraft like the steam gauge Skyhawk. Al -

Ah, that's interesting. Will have to check that. Thanks, Al -

Hi Ryan, Yes, I think so. He has been flying the Lear35 all over the place (and he also did that in RL for 30 years! 🙂) Thanks, Al -
I have a friend who suddenly has a strange problem with the time slider on the World Map screen, and with the weather widget once be loads onto the runway. They all are greyed out and not adjustable for some reason. Seems to be a general problem, not aircraft specific. I have read that something like this can be associated with multiplayer where only the team leader has control of time and weather, but my friend has not participated in any multiplayer flights (at least not intentionally! 😉) We are looking for some ideas on what to check. Thanks, Al

FSW C414 Chancellor Major Update 03/05/2024
ark replied to btacon's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I can't replicate your problem, or I don't understand exactly what it is. I don't seem to have any problems selecting AP modes with the AP off in the C414 with the latest TDS GTNXi 750 Pro. Hopefully a few other C414/TDS GTN users here can check also. Al -

FSW C414 Chancellor Major Update 03/05/2024

I just tried this again with the TDS GTN750Xi ver of the C414 and all works as expected. If there was an intrinsic problem with the GFC600 AP there would be a ton of similar posts on the FSW Discord which is very active, and this is just not the case. So to figure out what is going on, I suggest to try the below: 1. Check that you only have one copy of the C414 in your Community folder. Some have found that they have ended up with more than one copy somehow. 2. Make sure you have the latest version of the C414 (currently 4.4.4) and whichever GPS unit you are using. 3. Test with a default FSW livery. Addon liveries can cause problems if not updated to work with the latest C414 version. 4. Check for any controller binding conflicts. Also try just using the mouse to control things to see if that makes a difference. 5. If you are still having a problem, rename your Community folder to back it up, then create a new Community folder and only put the C414 and your GPS (if a GTN750) into the new Community folder, restart the sim and see how things work.
