The F70 and F100 won't have a failure system at release, but its on the feature request tracker as something to consider post-release.

@Mark D'oh. I was trying to click the UNS FMS and GNS 430 checkboxes and completely missed there being a 3rd, separate checkbox above. That worked. Thanks!
Any changes to the control assignment logic requires changes to be made in the core systems coding of the product, so unfortunately, there isn't anything that could be changed via a config file, etc.
We do have an update in development for the F28 though, and our development team will investigate this ahead of the update's release.

Seconding the original request to disable knob acceleration. Flew the F28 today for the first time in a while and having to deal with the knobs suddenly/randomly jumping 10, 50, 100 of whatever I was dialing was extremely frustrating.
The spoilers on the wings are the Lift Dumpers. They deploy on landing as long as you arm them in advance. I think the binding is TOGGLE ARM SPOILERS. You can control them manually with TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST and THROTTLE CUT, per the manual.
Yes, unfortunately, it's not possible to update the nav database on Xbox .
We are looking into some methods to allow Xbox users with a Navigraph subscription to update their navdata in our aircraft. We're not able to provide a timeframe for when that may be available at this stage, but we will be sure to keep everyone updated once we have more to share.

I'm also curious how some buttons are programmed; for instance, the vertical speed preselector button. I've been able to identify these 4 LVARs but am unsure how (or what order) to bind them for the button push.
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_4_BUTTON
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_4_BUTTON_IsDown
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_4_BUTTON_LeftLeaveToRun
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_4_BUTTON_MinReleaseTime
Do I just send a "1" to LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_4_BUTTON to enable it; and the other LVARs associated are animation related, or something else?
Using FSUIPC, I also don't have them in the LVAR list there. But I can define them manually and set them without issues.
same goes for the nac/GPS toggle when using the UNS, and the master warning button.
I've just looked into this, and all we do on our side is tell GSX the location of the water service door on the aircraft. That all looks to be set up correctly in the GSX profiles we include with the F28 Professional.
If you haven't already, we would recommend reporting this directly to FSDT as something for them to investigate further.
