    @lesdabela3092 12 днів тому

    There are other reasons for this problem. First lubricating the blade, second the spring inside the centre is way to hard, the friction causes a strain on the motor/battery. Replace the spring with lighter pressure, or if you are cleaver with a torch flame heat and compress the spring in a vice to make it shorter, its important to keep it square, reduce it so theres only a required around 5mm not the original 10mm. In the long run a new battery will last longer under less friction load

    Hi Ron, Great tutorial. I have one issue though. Engine 2 will not shut down. Everything else works as it should including feathering. Engine 2 condition levers are set up exactly as condition lever 1 which shuts down engine 1 properly. I started from a new empty profile so there should be no conflicts. I'm not sure if this is a default Asobo king air issue or something else. All assignments show as working in the control config screens. Tried deleting and re-assigning to no avail. Any ideas please?

      A bit of an update. Unfortunately the issue came back like a bad smell. However after a bit of messing with the control assignments and some 'funky' behaviour with the in cockpit levers, I managed to track it down to an issue with the #2 engine fuel valve assignment. If I had it assigned as it should be (same as #1) engine #2 will keep running even after putting the aircraft in a supposedly cold and dark state. Weird! My fix is as follows: I cleared the 'toggle fuel valve' settings for both engines, then I tried the shut down procedure again using just the 'condition lever cut off' assignments. This time both engines shut down correctly. Of course, the fuel valves would still be open. So, in the Fuel options, I just assigned the condition lever #1 detent button to 'Toggle All Fuel valves'. This worked. It's not ideal as the valves should be operated independently but at least now I can shut down both engines. Everything else works as per your tutorial. What the root cause is I don't know, but the above is a workaround that works for me. hopefully it may help others out too who may experience a similar issue. Here's an unrelated tip: If you find that the prop levers go full forward after coming out of the feather state, assign props 1&2 to 'Propeller Pitch Hi' but make sure to set the action to 'On release'. You may have to check the action as it doesn't always do it the first time. I got that tip from Mark of SimHanger Flight Simulation so many thanks to him for that one. @@Ron_A._Bolton

    Hello Ron, fellow Bravo fixer here... great video... hats off to you for going in as deep as you did but just wanted to let you and other viewers know that you don't need to remove the shaft and all the levers... as you discovered, on each lever there are two small screws and one adjuster screw held in place with a lock nut. As you probably know, the adjuster screw creates a bit of resistance when the lever travels from idle to fully closed. Anyway, if you remove all three, you can gently ease the lever off the shaft making it much easier and quicker to do the repair. Afterwards, reassemble, adjust the adjuster screw using a small allen key to hold the adjuster screw and tighten the lock nut with a suitable spanner. Another tip for you to consider if/when you need to repair any of the other wires, connect the new wire direct to the terminal and then you only need to join the new wire to the original... much neater and in my experience easier as there is very little room inside the lever housing. More information outlining my Bravo repairs in the comments section below UA-cam by 2020 fs'ers who, to his credit gave me the confidence to attempt the job in the first place.

    Hey Ron! My first Stream Deck arrived 5 days ago and I've been playing with it non-stop ever since - it's almost as much fun as actually flying! 😂 I run 3 screens for different programs like LNM, Navigraph, Chrome etc. - however because of the loss of focus when mouse clicks away from the main sim screen causing my Steam Deck's buttons to stop working - started to have a play with Lorbys AAOs and Flight Tracker etc. I read that because they connect directly to the sim without needing to mimic key strokes - the loss of focus doesn't happen. In reality though I found those solutions overly complicated, so I've returned to the simpler process of keystroke mapping. I purchased a nice set of icons so I'll put up with the loss of focus issue as I build out my folders. All the above waffle was only to describe the fact that I haven't flown in several days because I've also been trying to figure out the best way to configure the deck for not just multiple aircraft folders (profiles??) and their own sub-folders, but also the best way to set an upper level to handle a few other standard buttons like Chrome, Gmail, Little Navmap etc. I've created a single MFS button to get into the flight sim profiles - but then I was uncertain about the best folder structure to give easy access to everything with minimal button presses during flight. Your video just showed me how to create the kind of structure I need - so a big thank you from just north of Sydney! Mike... 😊👍🏻 🇦🇺

    How's the joystick holding up so far?

      Really well, no issues so far.

      @@Ron_A._BoltonMay I ask how much different does it feel from the original version. I would imagine that the weight added by the extensions may make it more loose as shown in the video, but does accuracy actually improve? Is there really a substantial precise movement difference Also I would like to make you the suggestion of 3d printing a round bearing to sit on top of the spring, there's a video on it, I will try it out since it makes the stick stay in place, which would be the cherry on the top for this set-up, just a thought. Anyway, let me know!

      @@DonJuan247 sure, please send the link. The fine accuracy is definitely better with the longer stick, so you can input finer movements, still only move the stick small ammounts, very close to the feel of a real cyclic, but without the feedback. Still makes landing a lot better and more accurate.

      @@DonJuan247 I watched, thanks, I had one installed before, but put it back to normal, it slips outside the dead zone and kicks the ap off, if my dog comes in and bumps the stick when I'm not using it, I would find myself in the ground before I knew what was happening. If it works for you then all good.

    Nice video Ron. I adapted a joystick in similar way recently but I find that adjusting the sensitivity is problematic. Due to extending the cyclic length it requires further directional travel and not really what i hoped for. Any suggestions for improvement? Such as advice for cyclic sensitivity settings or adjusting the axis 'curves'? Thanks in advance.

      I did adjust the sensitivity graphs to get it dialled in. Once you have it set once it seems to stick ok.

      Thanks very much. I'll keep tweeking the settings then and persevere. 👍

    nice job. So how do you physically mount the switch panel to the bravo etc? What kind of screws do you need to get?

      I built a perspex mount. I used M4 screws.
