What was done to the Heading Bug in the recent update?

jmarkows

I use the excellent gauges from FSX Times for the Piper planes and they've always worked great for me until I updated today.

Now the heading bug is no longer adjustable via the Logitech FIP interface, which makes heading autopilot unusable for me because I can't get to a mouse or anything easily to adjust the bug in the virtual cockpit itself.

What changed?

Found it on the other forums.

@martyn I have installed this Fix and the Heading Bug is operating properly via my Saitek FIP, also via the Saitek Multipanel and Mouse operation in Cockpit view too.
Thanks for providing this Fix. Regards, Dieter

Hi Gary,

I'm using the SU8 beta and the aircraft still show up for me. Did you overwrite or delete more than the provided files? I think it was one xml and one wasm file per plane, I just dropped them right into the folder.

I swear I have been super faithful in updating whenever I got an email from JF saying that one was available. Really. Went back to the Arrow III for the first time in months today and the heading bug had a head of its own, could get no cooperation binding set to current course, increase or decrease. In desperation I went through the download and install process as this thread acknowledged that there had been an issue but fixed, and joy joy all is good. Glad I ran across this thread and found that it had been an issue and it was not just me being as so often lame :bouquet:

Is this why I’m having trouble using my Simionic G1000 software? When I try setting the heading bug, it changes back to what the aircraft’s heading bug was set to every time.
