Few issues with the 1.1 patch
-
Ok, so I finally got to fly again and remembered to test a different avionics installation and guess what - with the simplest, no gps, setup of MX 170B com/nav radios, HDG mode operates as expected - the heading tracks the heading bug irrespective of what the directional gyro is reading. So to fly a consistent heading, you need to keep the DG synchronised with the correct magnetic heading.
As soon as I reinstall the previous GTN750/GTN650 gps pair, HDG mode tracks the magnetic compass ... which feels like cheating lol.
I haven't tried any of the other avionics yet.

Everything works aside from mixture for me. All my AAO axis assignments and Mobiflight button config is great. Just the mixture! No idea why
-
@SkipperMacz You may want to check with PMS to see if that heading behavior is intentional or a bug.
-
@sbanks75 Mixture is broken for me too using the joystick assignments that worked perfectly before the update and work on every other aircraft.
-
@SkipperMacz To confirm, there is no separate slaved heading source in the Commander 114.
The reason you're seeing this is because these third-party GPS units seem to bypass a lot of the aircraft's actual systems logic and pull heading/air-data information directly from the sim. It also explains why Heading Up and wind speed/direction still work even while stationary on the ground (on the TDS at least, not sure about PMS). I know it is possible to code around it (I believe A2A did with WASM), but we haven't quite pushed Nick to the breaking point where he will start using WASM... yet...

Many thanks to @fizzboy and @SadBucket for their thoughts on this topic. I’m not at home this week but will look more into it when I’m back at the sim. I think the viable conclusion is that (some of) the GPS units are at fault by using too much Asobo code for the autopilot.
