Solution for problem importing profiles in HC Configurator (XP11 and XP12, Windows)

After I created AFC and BFC profiles for some of my planes, I shared them here on the forum. Some users reported they were unable to import the profiles via de Honeycomb Configurator. I could not understand why, they worked perfectly well for me. That was until I had to re-install X-Plane 11 and 12 on a new (Windows) computer and I ran into the same problem. I found that the problem had to do with an advice I found on this forum to install the downloaded configurator not via the installer ("AS_HONEYCOMB_XP11WINDOWS_V2200.exe") but via a "SETUP.EXE" in one of the subfolders of the zip-file. I followed that advice and was unable to import my own profiles.

The solution was simple:

- I de-installed the HC configurator 

- Then re-installed it using AS_HONEYCOMB_XP11WINDOWS_V2200.exe  in XP11

- I added all my previous AFC and BFC config files to the "D:\X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\AFC_Bridge\honeycomb_profiles" folder (checked and they all showed up in the HC Configurator)

- Then copied the whole plugin folder ("") from XP11 to XP12

All works well now. Not sure if this an older version of the installer, but it works for me in both XP11 and XP12.

ALTERNATIVELY:

You can also

- add a subfolder "" to your aircraft folder (for example: "D:\X-Plane 12\Aircraft\FlightFactor & StepToSky\Boeing 757-Full\honeycomb_profiles"

- copy the appropriate config-files to that folder, renaming each respectively "AFC_Yoke_Config.json" and "BFC_Throttle_Config.json"

The should then be automatically selected and activated when you load your airplane, irrespective of which version of the HC Configurator you have installed.

This does not solve the problem for mac-users unfortunately. Let's hope Aerosoft comes up with an functional version of the HC Configurator that addresses this issue.
