it is an amazing add on I am only giving it four stars because the lights dont completely work with the FBW a320 and I wish there was a way to toggle all 4 original landing lights for PMDG
Hi, thank you ❤️ Can you please tell me which lights doesn't work? And what version of FBW are you using? Sometimes things may stop working due to airplane SDK update. I'll release new profile update soon so I'll fix this issues

Hi, when will there be a documetation on how to create own profiles? At the moment this software is not really useful. Thx
Hi. I will work on that somewhere around next month. Currently there is a lot of interest in new features. Very few users ask about custom profiles. So my focus goes to new features first. I'll most probably also update profile builder so it'll be easier to create new profiles.

I bought this without fully reading through everything... I wanted a UI where I could input radio frequencies via a keypad or just use the keyboard on my ipad. This app only lets you toggle active frequency unless you have their 3D printed knob then you can change frequencies. Why not use the same virtual rotary knob in the autopilot section for the radio at least? UPDATE: Thanks to the responses I was able to find the virtual knob setting was not aware you have to activate it first as a setting. I am much happier with the product knowing I can change radio frequencies much easier now.
Hi! It is possible to change stby frequencies using virtual knob. I don’t know why you can’t see that option. Contact me in private if issue still occurs, we’ll try to figure it out
With virtual knobs enabled, you need to scroll up and down on the sides of the boxes.
