Thank you both of you for your help I'll watch some more video's and take you both up on your advice. thanks guys!

So I had a stream deck but for the life of me couldn’t get it working with AAO so I ended up returning it and as I already had purchased AAO decided to try out the XTM, I’m glad I did as well because it’s so much easier the the SD for a computer novice like my good self. So there’s a little bit of the history now the question!, I like flying the large jets my current favourite is the Boeing 787-10/9 GE + RR just love doing the long haul (Heathrow to Los Angeles yesterday), so the thing I need to know is how do I set up a profile for each variant of these aircraft…do I use the A320 base setup and somehow bind it to the 787? Any help is appreciated if anything I’m happy that I got AAO + XTM working at all as I really struggled with it but seems somehow easier with the more modest hardware. I don’t fly any of the prop planes I prefer the jets. Thanks for your time guys. Michael

I've sent it back now I just couldn't get it working but opted to give the X Touch Mini a try and see how I get on with that. I'm into flying the bid commercial jets so hopefully this will help with the different twist knobs it has on it. Thanks though 👍

Hey, well if anything I can take away from this is your fantastic customer support I wish there was more companies/ people out there that reached out and genuinely trying to sort it out just awesome!, thank you so much dude! Can you recommend another piece of hardware?, I’m not going to get it but I’m always on the look out, I’ll follow up with your suggestions when I’m back in front of my PC, once again thank you so very much for reaching out to me. I will also add that its not the software’s shortcomings its mine so no harm done. Michael

Hi, okay I’ll try the stuff you have listed but I think I have done some of this already, even with the bar low it’s still complex for someone who is not computer savvy. Im okay with my limitations and have overcome worse than this in my career. I know a guy who loves this sort of thing so I could get him around but paying more money really goes against the grain or just return it (SD) and put it down to experience and live to fight another day, the €18 price tag makes it a little easier as well. thanks for the reply.

Hi, this is my first post so please bare with me… I’m an X-Plane 11 user who really liked the user interface and graphics of MSFS so I changed over a month ago and felt like trying the Streamdeck XL with AAO and this is where I can 100% say my trouble started I stupidly thought that installing the above mentioned add-onns was straightforward, hmmm how wrong was I. Firstly what language is the PDF for ‘webapi fixes” wrote in?, I can’t make head nor tale of it. I’m a lift engineer by trade and have been for some 40 years and know this job inside out and in theory I could write you an instruction list on how to install an elevator of course you would be able to follow my directions but it would run terribly as you don’t have the experience and I feel the same applies here. Im NOT a software engineer so feel more simplified installation instructions is a must for people like me. The YT videos are just as confusing as even in a series of videos marked from 1-8 they seem to overlook the fact that there is something on there SD already like the MSFS icon (can’t find this anywhere)I I have downloaded the prepared bundles from flight.to and have the icons on my SD but no luck. Here are my issues, on the SD AAO pluggin the connected icon shows not connected (light up) WebApi is set at 44380 I change that and the top row of text turns red but you can no longer click on the red text I’m at a loss and on the verge of returning the SD XL and cutting my losses with regards to the AAO, it’s a shame as it looks amazing!, I’ve watched all the necessary videos. Lastly with regards to installation of these things, my skill set is as follows I can copy and paste my email and slow the mouse cursor down in the settings of windows and never signed up for have an advanced computer software course! Just like you never signed up to be a lift engineer but you are expected to be one, it’s not fare. I purchased this expecting there to be a few issues just never thought I would have to learn a whole new trade to try and get it working. Writing the instructions for people who understand puts the less advanced at a disadvantage we are not all “lift engineers or software engineers”. Michael
