mazelda 0 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi, I'm just starting to use my honeycomb throttle and yoke and I was wondering if i have to run the configurator before starting P3d every time, or if you have a profile downloaded or created in the configurator once you have sent it over to P3d I can save it as a config in p3d and therefore do not need to run the honeycomb configurator before starting P3d Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare 729 Posted September 7, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi Mazelda, You don't need to start the Configurator each time. Just make sure you activate your profile in the configurator, and it should load automatically when P3D starts, even if the Configurator interface isn't running. Please login to display this image.

mazelda 0 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Many thanks If after activating the profile and starting p3d I save that profile config in p3d that profile should be saved within p3d Therefore if I have several honeycomb profiles saved in the honeycomb configurator and those are transfered to p3d, saved as individual profiles in p3d does that cause any conflicts swapping between them in the flight sim?

Aerosoft SimWare 729 Posted September 7, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi Mazelda, Sorry, I don't quite follow you. - 1 - The configurator profile (for buttons only - no axes) isn't saved in the simulator itself. The active one is loaded on simulator startup - 2 - In the simulator itself, you have the possibility to import/export controls configurations. ---> These are two different and independant configurations systems. I suggest you use the P3d controls configuration for the axes only and use the Honeycomb configurator for the buttons. If an aircraft requires changes in both the axes and buttons schemes, you will have to change the honeycomb Configurator profile and the P3d controls configuration. Let me know if this doesn't anwer your question. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazelda 0 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Yes that answers my question thanks However,I cannot seem to get even the default profile to work in p3dv5. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Does p3d need to be running when i activate the profile ? When i start p3d my throttle quadrant shows up in the choice of controllers but none of the default profile buttons or lights work. So it looks like the profile has not changed any of the button settings in p3d I've been trying on default p3d aircraft, so any lvar's should not be causing the issues. Hope you can advise Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft SimWare 729 Posted September 9, 2021 Aerosoft Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi Mazelda, The Configurator does not change the buttons settings in the P3D configuration display. It happens "internally" As to the starting sequence, here are very conservative steps. They insure everything is loaded each time you play. - Start the configurator - Load the profile you want to use Please login to display this image. - Activate this profile Please login to display this image. - Start P3D - Load a flight - There will be a green band on the upper part if the screen showing the loaded Configurator profile. (It may take several seconds before it appears) Please login to display this image. REMEMBER : Always start the Configurator and P3D as administrator ! Best regards.

mazelda 0 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ok thanks, It looks like i have a problem then as i don't get the green bar at any time.So it looks like the honeycomb configurator is not linking to P3d Should i have any entries in the addons.cfg for honeycomb? Anything else i can check? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazelda 0 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ive loaded the default profiles for the yoke and throttle andim trying it on the default p3d mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazelda 0 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ok, interesting, I made copies of the default throttle and yoke and using the honeycomb configurator activated them then started p3d. Nothing worked. Ive just tried again but using the original default profiles and this time it worked. Is it possible then that if you make a copy of a profile it does not always save the various bindings. Scratching my head here all strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratching my head here all strange Hi Mazelda, If you make a copy, the bindings are supposed to be copied to. It maye be a read/write issue. Please always make sure to start Configurator and simulator as administrator. What I suggest, as a test, is to make a profile from scratch with only a few recognizable and easy bindings and try it it works. Best regards.

mazelda 0 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi, Well i think i've got it fixed. I deleted the configurator and started from scratch and created a couple of test copies of the yoke and throttle. This time it all worked perfectly, although ive not added any new bindings yet all the default keys and led's look to have copied over. I can only assume i had a corrupt install of the configurator. But this time it all seems good Thank for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to say exactly what happened, but I suspect some sort of Read/Write permission issues that a new fresh install probably solved. Feel free to contact us if you have any other question.
