PeteIce Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 My apologies in advance as I am a newbie to this forum - I hope I am in the right place. I have just purchased the Saab 340a, SF340 1.5.1 and using X-plane 11.32. From reading different posts, it appears I am not the only one who is having issue/s with the Gizmo control panel NOT showing the complete menu options including the Joystick and key assignments settings (as well as random crashes, but that's a different subject). I am using the Steam version of X-plane which puts the X-plane folder within the Steam subfolder structure as opposed to the root of C: drive, if that makes any difference. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the package several times but the problem persists. I notice that upon starting loading the plane I get a couple of quick flashes of RED text messages on the lower right corner of the monitor (probably relating to script errors) but I am not sure how to capture that log - all I can see in the console is the following: And here's all the choices available in the Gizmo menu. Thank you in advance for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Based on the screenshots you provided, I don't see any problems. Joystick and Keyboard bindings are done through the X-Plane UI, not the Gizmo Menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteIce Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 hmm, ok. but the manual clearly indicates there should be hardware settings in the Gizmo utility. Anyway, all I am trying to do is assign a key to engage the autopilot /engage servos. It is awkward to pan down to the center console and hold the keys. This is what the manual shows, FYI: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGregory Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Yes, some of the documentation is outdated. The CL Joystick Assignment is no longer necessary. You can assign the condition levers to "prop", or "prop1" and "prop2" using the X-Plane UI. There are several threads related to this on these forums. The Mini GPS is also outdated. This is no longer necessary since the aircraft now has the G530 in it. Everything else in the Gizmo Menu is correct and still functional. You can assign a key to autopilot engage/disengage, but you need to use the Saab commands, not the X-Plane commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
