Thank you! I've figured out the other button is the cws button. Does anyone have a method to use spad to hold this button down if I hold a button down on my joystick? Edit: figured it out, use lvar:var_PikotCws_IsDown

@Bigmarty Thank you so much for replying with your solution! I was unaware of this mapping, so I might be able to help users in the future who encounter this issue. Thank you!

@micstatic The checklists include switching to the tank with the most fuel, at various stages of flight. So it is a manual process, maximum of 15 gal difference is also stated.

Have you tried SimTrim yet? It fixes this kind of issue.

@Jammer Next time you run into this issue, make sure you’ve removed the engine covers — they might be the culprit

Thanks for looking into this more. With the knowledge that everything is working correctly in MSFS 2020 for you, I think it actually makes it less likely that this is an aircraft problem, as the code is identical between the two simulators. I assume you've checked the tablet's failure page for any active failures? It's perplexing for certain, and I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I've had no other reports of these issues (the panel lighting would be particularly obvious) from any other users, which further leads me to suspect a local problem. I can imagine how this could be caused by hardware/input binding issues, especially the deicing and lighting issues. Might I suggest contacting Just Flight Support? There's always a chance that they've seen something similar to this with any number of aircraft in MSFS 2024, and they have many more minds at work over there than just me alone. In the meantime, I will be here if you can send a video (even a good recording of your monitor with a phone would suffice). You would be surprised at what seemingly unrelated details I sometimes see in videos that ultimately lead to a solution.

Thanks / Dave!

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is not the first time that I have heard of the native weather radar causing performance issues after a long flight. It seems this only affects a small number of users, and we haven't been able to determine the cause, except that it has something to do with the native weather radar display. Troubleshooting has been slow going, since I've never been able to reproduce this on a computer that I have access to. We found some BIOS settings or graphics driver changes that may have made a difference in the past, but nothing was definitive. Unfortunately, without anything definitive, it's difficult for me to approach Asobo with something for them to look into. If you feel like you're seeing this very consistently, and you're willing to help, I might be able to devise some tests for you to run (editing the weather radar code), but I will warn you that a lot of good men have lost a lot of hours trying to track this one down. Thanks again, and I hope you are otherwise enjoying the aircraft! Let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you.

@joncoughlin Just curious, did you ever figure this out? I'm currently working on the same issue, using Axis and Ohs. I tried to use chatgpt to write an RPN script for the purpose, but probably because I'm not experienced with LLM prompts, I gave up after about a dozen non-working scripts. EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm able to control them with button presses, but I dropped some money on the ProDeskSim F28 levers, which includes the fuel valve levers, so I'd prefer to find a way to bind them to axes. So I can set the LVar to 2/off with the button at the bottom of the axis, and I can set it to 1 when that button is released, but I have no elegant way to then set it to 0. Too bad the Bravo doesn't have detents you can set as buttons, like the Thurstmaster Airbus quadrant.

@djw4250 I'm glad it worked. I've probably spent hours in these sections of the BS manuals. I still feel lost half the time lol

@djw4250 I do not run 2020 anymore. But I assume the scripts should be the same no matter what sim you are using. I do use the following scripts for 2024 and they seem to work well: Right for Cross feed 19·(>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET) Right for Off 0·(>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET) Right for ON 20·(>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET) For the left you have to replace the 2 with 1 Using these scripts with my hardware does move the switch in game.

@Black-Square Ya know Nick, that unreleased update with the interactable control surfaces sounds like a perfect time to add the cockpit window sun shields and "brakes off" sign in the window we chatted about ages ago Also, taking delivery of our IRL Commander in the next 4-6 weeks. I sent a justflight message with my email ages ago, but haven't heard from you. If you want to connect on Commander stuff, feel free to reach out!

@djw4250 That space usage is kind of a reality check for me lol... but what a cool base to build a simpit around.
