Honeycomb Echo Aviation Controller automatically switching off after a period?

The single workaround I found is to not use the dongle but connect the controller via a wired usb-c data cable, effectively making it a wired controller. It does not go into standby when it's wired.

Note that it doesn't work with a charging-only cable. I've tried that and it still goes into sleep. It needs to be a data cable.

Honeycomb Echo Trim Wheel Problem

The "Windows joystick utility" does not refresh fast enough to show the behavior visually. Sometimes it doesn't even light up when I change a single tick.

I've created a test C# console app that confirms the behavior. First the output with some added annotations which you can recognize with a # (comment) mark at the beginning.

Found controller HID=6414, PID=10571 # Initial state 237646561962 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False # Trim wheel one tick down 237652766090 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False 237652777049 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False 237652789046 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False 237652800047 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False 237652811044 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False 237652823083 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False 237652834043 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False 237652846084 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False # Trim wheel one tick up 237657814141 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False,False 237657825118 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False 237657837125 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False,False 237657848120 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False 237657859120 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False,False 237657871121 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False 237657882133 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,False,False 237657894157 - buttons: False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,FalseAs you can see, every "tick" is 8 state changes. You'll see the "True/False/True/False/True/False/True/False", hence the 4-pulse behavior.

The same when the wheel is moved one tick up.

Here's the C# code if you wish to reproduce:
var first = Windows.Gaming.Input.RawGameController.RawGameControllers.First(); Console.WriteLine($"Found controller HID={first.HardwareProductId}, PID={first.HardwareVendorId}"); var buttonArray = new bool[first.ButtonCount]; var switchArray = new Windows.Gaming.Input.GameControllerSwitchPosition[first.SwitchCount]; var axisArray = new double[first.AxisCount]; ulong previousTimestamp = 0; while (true) { var timestamp = first.GetCurrentReading(buttonArray, switchArray, axisArray); if (timestamp != previousTimestamp) { previousTimestamp = timestamp; Console.WriteLine($"{timestamp} - buttons: {string.Join(",", buttonArray)}"); } }Hope this helps.

Navigraph Chart Access - lost during mid-flight

I have no issues pulling Navigraph charts up through the EFB but have noticed that once I've been airborne for 10-15 minutes, the charts are no longer accessible. I can still see the titles but when I click on them, they don't load. Any idea what the problem is?

Orbx True Earth, Installationsproblem

Im Archiv habe ich den 570.144 gefunden. Runtergeladen ist es eine Textdatei, habe es angeklickt, endloses Entpacken, endete mit einer Fehlermeldung. Den von Dir genannten Vulkan Treiber gibt es auch im Archiv nicht. Aber,für heute habe ich genug. Ich danke Dir für Deine Geduld. Genieße lieber Deine Reise. Man wird sehen....
