  1. My mistake, sorry, wrong plane! 🙁 No, there is no default keyboard entry to launch/stow the EFB. If you have a registered (payware) version of FSUIPC7 I can send you a C414 controls lua script that will allow you to assign keys or buttons for 26 different C414 controls including the EFB. If interested PM me your email address. Al
  2. I would check that something didn't get mysteriously changed under Assistance Options, like AutoMixture, etc. Al
  3. Well, something is clearly not right. If it worked yesterday but not today, something has changed. This problem is not being reported on the FSW Discord which is very active, and I can't replicate the problem, just tried it. You want to click in the center of the EFB's top white bezel to move it up to the window mount. If that doesn't work: 1. Check that the mouse is working as expected by using it to hide and unhide the yoke (click on the end of the yellow pen which is to the left of the pilot). 2. If you are using one of the GTN750 versions of the plane, make sure you have the latest version of your GTN750. 3. Make sure you are using a stock FSW livery. Addon liveries that have not been updated to work with the latest version of the plane have caused all kinds of problems. 4. Check that you don't have some kind of strange controller binding issue, which has happened. Assuming your controllers are USB, simply unplug them, restart the sim and see if there is any change when using the mouse. 5. Another possibility is a conflict with something in your Community folder. One quick way to check for that is to rename the Community folder to back it up, create a new Community folder and only put the C414 in the new folder, restart the sim and load the GNS530 version of the C414 with a stock FSW livery and see if the EFB works.

  4. My understanding has been IAS or FLC is usually preferred for climbs because it provides airspeed protection against an inadvertent stall in case something unexpected happens or you get distracted for some reason. Often VS is preferred for descents because if makes calculations easier when it comes to hitting altitude constraints, such as during a STAR. You usually know how much altitude you need to lose by the time you reach some waypoint, or the traffic pattern, etc. These are just general guidelines. What I often find handy is the rule of thumb to start descending 3 x the number of feet you have to lose in 1000s NM out, and use a VS of 5 x your ground speed. So if you have to lose 12000ft and your ground speed is 250 Kts, start about 3 x 12 = 36 NM out (it is good to add 10% to this) and use 5 x 250 =1250ft/min to approximate a 3 degree descent. It is interesting to watch a VNAV system work because you can often predict what it is going to do based on the above calculations -- kind of fun. Al As an aside, VS = 5 x GS is also a good starting point on a 3 deg approach.
  5. The CUSTOM and INFO sub-directories are strictly informational for the user, they have nothing to do with the actual install. The Flysimware_C414AW_Chancellor.exe is the installer file and it does not make any use of the files in the CUSTOM and INFO directories. Al
  6. I don't have any problems with the HDG bug or the altitude selector. Are you using a default FSW livery and have the latest PMS50 GTN update? Al
  7. I don't have the problem, and I have not seen any similar reports on the FSW Discord site, so I assume something is not right with your setup. If you have the latest version of the C414 (v4.4.5), then try reinstalling it. And of course, use a default FSW livery. If that doesn't fix the problem, then I would try the Community folder test I outlined above to check for some other conflict. If you don't own the TDS GTN750Xi Pro, then you can buy it at https://www.tdssim.com/ Al
  8. That worked!! He had to turn on Multiplayer on the General Options > Data menu, and was then able to select ALL PLAYERS as you showed above. We both thank you very much! 😃 Al
  9. I think he has Multiplayer turned off under General Options > Data so that button is greyed out. But I will have him turn Multiplayer on at least long enough so he can select ALL PLAYERS if that is not what he currently has selected. Thanks for the idea! Al
  10. The "rename" the Community folder experiment did not work. ☹️
  11. He did say he tried taking almost everything out of the Community folder, but I'll pass this on and report back. Thanks! Al
  12. Thanks for the suggestion, but he assures me that is on. In fact, I had him duplicate all my data settings, but the problem persists. Al
  13. Unfortunately, the problem persists even when loading a new flight plan with a default aircraft like the steam gauge Skyhawk. Al
