HoneyComb Configurator (Newest Version) Does Not Retain Settings for Bravo Throttle when Saved. JSON does not contain values.

[Imparatus 1]

Hi,

 

I've been working on configuring my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle with XPlane 11 (beta). I'm looking at the JSON available in C:\X Plane Beta\X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\AFC_Bridge\honeycomb_profiles. When trying to configure the AP buttons, I'm running into the following problem (The example will be for the Heading Button: Button 1 per Xplane Throttle Depiction)

 

I make the modifications to the Configurator, but they don't STICK in the configurator, and are not reflected in the JSON in the profile (Started with the Default_Throttle profile).

This is where I begin to configure the variable for HDG button.

Typing in and chosing the sim/autopilot/heading dataref

After configuring another button, and returning to the HDG button, the variable dropdown no longer contains sim/autopilot/heading, but is empty, ready to be set to a value.

 

JSON

Checking the JSON for ButtonNumber 1 (which according to the display for the "joystick" in X-plane is the HDG button), there's no elements in the JSON string.

 

What's going on here? Do I have something in the wrong place, or is this expected behavior? I can't find a version on the configurator, but it was just downloaded yesterday from the HoneyComb Site. I'm running Windows 10.

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Imp

Hi Imp and welcome to our forums,

 

I have moved you into our dedicated X-Plane forum.

 

Thanks for the report...this is indeed a bug that will be fixed in the next version of the configurator package. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you type a number into the value field and then immediately delete it, the settings will stick.

Hello Imparatus,

 

I think it's better to map your AP knobs in the x-plane menu. The datarefs are only useful for mapping the INC-DEC rotary knob and for the leds. But maybe I did not understood what you were wanted to do.
